Getting .bin and .cue files to work on GDEMU?

[victarionmcbain]

I recently downloaded a big DC dump from GGN. Unfortunately, the games are all in .bin and .cue format, rendering them unusable with GDEMU. Anyone know a way to convert them to .GDI or CDI or even better, is there a site that has PAL or NTSC-J .GDI dumps?

.cue >> .gdi

You really should just download the TOSEC-style GDI rips of the entire DC library and make life easier for yourself.

Yeah, that'll do.

What if the game is an Indie game and cannot be found anywhere on the internet in CDI format?
such as 'Rush Rush Rally Reloaded'.

you can rip the raw data from the cue with isobuster or simular program and use lazyboot to make a .cdi for gdemu.i do it with my bgm mods on dc games all the time works like a charm

Unfortunately that ^^ doesn't work for bin/cue rips of MIL-CDs. If anyone knows a working solution for extracting the data of these, that'd be great!

True. It is possible to extract everything with Isobuster whether audio/data, cd audio/data or data/data format is used. Mounting the image is not part of the solution. That's all I'm going to say.

Nevermind. I finally figured it out In the end it was quite obvious, I have to admit. Could have thought of that before...

All you have to do is to use isofix.exe on the "Track 2" bin and enter 11702 as the LBA value.
Isofix then creates a file called fixed.iso, which finally can be extracted with Isobuster!
Problem solved... at least for two-track MIL-CDs with a standard four-second audio as track 1

That's a clever solution!

It can also be done by adding one line to the CUE file and will handle all layouts automatically. Hint: It's the Isobuster specific add-on REM LEAD-OUT MSF. Can you figure it out?
