The eboot tools havent been updates for years, not a single update on them despite the best roms you can obtain are the Redump's ones, which have multitracks bins that you cannot convert to eboot unless you turn multitrack into single track bin. What if one of these isos were wrong? What if im doing a mistake? But, in time, the same doubts came to my head again and again.

So i started making enough research and fighting the eboot converter tools to make sure i didnt screw it up.Īll because i wanted my collection to be usable with ePSXe Android as simple as possible. I thought this would be a great way to keep my library. I made the same you are doing like a year ago. Would I be better off finishing the task of PBP conversion? Have you guys had any positive experiences with using CHD compression? I want to maintain archive quality compression. it seems that CHD works with one core(so respectively Both) so it would still run on my methods of playing but what if that changes one day. I might want to use other emulators one day though I’ve never tried. I use retropie on a pi3(don’t know which core I’m using, I assume it’s also the beetle one) and retroarch on my computer. What makes me apprehensive though is from what I can tell, CHD is less compatible with emulators.

Then I run psx2psp to convert that to pbp. Then I use “ISO buster to merge all the tracks into a single bin/cue file. If there’s separate ape audio files then I decompress them to wav and rename all tracks to bin extension and rename to match the cue file. I’m having to decompress, then un-ecm the bin. The dump I got is 7zipped and all the bins are ECM. What also makes it sound great is there’s ways to batch convert to CHD and it’s still archive quality so it won’t take me 80 hours. From my preliminary research, it’s more efficient then PBP(other then multi-disk games which I would still stick to PBP). I literally just discovered what CHD compression is. I’m maybe 20% done with my collection and by my estimation based on how long it’s taking me, it’s going to take 60-80 hours to complete. I’ve been going through the very slow and arduous process of converting my ps1 collection from bin/cue to PBP using “psx2psp” in order to save HDD space(and it’s a lot cleaner having a single file for each game with no cue file and it merges multi-disk games into one file).
