I’ve also converted Sega CD, Sega Saturn and Turbo Duo CD games from BIN/CUE to CHD for use in RetroArch. While I originally wrote this with PSX games in mind, you can apply it to most other CD based consoles. I do not have a good one for the DC compared to those I have for other consoles but is not all bad.Update : Google Search Console tells me this page is getting popular lately. Typically some hardware docs are good to share at this point so you can start guessing as to the formats by looking at it through the lens of the hardware layout. Both show their ages a bit and are more aimed at people that would like a step by step method rather than the steps explained but it is all good.

Rather nicely there seems to be windows, linux and mac (powerpc presumably) versions that will redo it so the simple tools above can handle it. Sadly they are not quite in a format where the tools listed will handle them well but that is why tools like ISO LBA Fix Utility from DeXT exist, I am not so sure a link to the main places it can be found would be all that appreciated but it should be easy enough to find. The third and later tracks contain the good stuff, later tracks beyond 3 are more likely to be raw audio tracks than data but it could go either way the DC did see lossy digital audio formats though, indeed that is where the ADH/AHX/ADX format first rose to prominence, but their use was not universal either way. raw) are the PC and CD player stuff with a bit of bonus wallpaper and the 'don't be a prat- this is for the dreamcast' audio side of things respectively. Where back in the day there were hundreds of conversion and burning tools for the formats it is far nicer today and typically this means you will want something to talk to them and this can be anything from ultraiso to daemon tools to possibly even basic compression tools like 7zip.ĭepending upon your rip there will be three or more tracks. Everything you listed there is a typical optical disc storage format, they were not so unified back when so you can have many different ones depending upon your source. You approach them in the same way as any other filesystem based media (though I guess some of the self contained methods could also work if you waited for them to scan over the gig or so of iso).
