namDHC VS tochd

You can also use a software tool on your computer to create .chd files that contain both the .bin and .cue in a single file chd, if you’d rather do that. Here’s a tool to make your bin/cue files into CHD files.

First off, if you're not keeping the multi-bin format, you'll want to convert your bin/cue files into CHD archives to significantly reduce the clutter and the disk space of these images. Use chdman (included with each release of MAME) with its batch scripts to do so, or use namDHC if you need some more advanced options for your conversion.

There's also a visual frontend for chdman called namDHC that's helpful; it can do things like create individual folders for each CHD file you're processing, among other things. There's a github for that utility.

There is also a GUI available- (namDHC

namDHC plug works like a charm https://github.com/umageddon/namDHC

https://github.com/umageddon/namDHC is what I use (easy front end for chdman)

if you don't want to use the command line you can use GitHub - umageddon/namDHC: Windows frontend for CHDMAN - written in Autohotkey

Do you mean this is a file that you mount? If not, RetroArch can play CD formats if these are files, such as CHD (I convert every CD format like .iso and .cue to .chd files; look at my other program tochd ). So if you don't access the real CD/DVD drive of your PC, then you probably don't need to mount any CD format to play them with RetroArch.

The Discover app uses a different way of installing programs and I do not have the program there. It was not designed to work on Steam Deck, because it expects some programs to be installed (7z and chdman). There is a way of downloading the program directly, but you need to have 7z and chdman and use the options to point to it. You could download from https://github.com/thingsiplay/tochd/releases the "tochd-0.9-bin.7z" and unpack and run it without installing. You would need to point to the programs like this: ./tochd --7z "path/to/7z" --chdman "path/to/chdman" . (the last dot in the command means current directory, in which the program will search all files in current directory to convert).

Hi everyone. Today I created my first Archlinux package using makepkg. I hope it went all right. Might someone want have a look at the PKGBUILD file? The program itself is not very complicated to install, just a single Python script to copy into a directory.

For Linux I have a Python script to convert to CHD format. It does some smart things that aren't handled by simple scripts. Just in case you are interested to check it out: https://github.com/thingsiplay/tochd
