Suggestion for a new feature: Extract CHD to Multi-Bin/Cue #19

Closed TomTurbine closed 1 year ago

TomTurbine commented 1 year ago

I have tested something out and had it work, so could potentially add it in a new release but would require a secondary app to go with it. BinMerge: https://github.com/putnam/binmerge

It can split the single bin file that CHDMan puts out based on the cue sheet into the multiple bin files. Actually tested it doing this with a PSX game and it matched the original Bin/Cue files I started with.

Would be a good automated way to be able to revert a CHD collection of ReDump games back to the Bin/Cue setup their Dat files expected.

Just have it extract a game back into a bin/cue, then run that through BinMerge and keep the final product it ended up with, then move onto the next one.

As an extension this to,

If you could have it setup where it extracted CD based discs to Multi-Track Bin/Cue and DVD based to ISO, it would actually allow you to just extract to ReDump dats perfectly which many would love to see automated. But I think that could potentially be a lock of checks and work to get done.

Sorry the program will remain a simple frontend to chdman at this time. I just dont have the time currently to add any major features like this.

It also moves the project away from being a simple frontend for chdman. Basically getting into feature-creep territory.

Maybe someday thou. Thanks for the suggestion.
