    Had a couple of games in the PS1 library that hated being compressed
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Icecubes tool was helpful there though, it has different levels of compression including off for those really picky games
  • haddad @ haddad:
    CHDMAN will only do .bin or .iso to .chd, I will end up with 4 seperate. chd's, not what I want, I want a single .chd
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Try using CDMage to combine all bins then convert to a chd
  • haddad @ haddad:
    itried, does not work with CDMAGE
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Followed this method? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VuKTm34xh6A Whats the title of the game
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe try to find a already converted file
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So many sources online, might be reinventing the wheel here
  • haddad @ haddad:
    In that video, the PS1 game has multiple .bin files but one .cue file

    My game has multiple 1 cue per bin file
  • haddad @ haddad:
    if I try to convert an already made .pbp to .cia, it crashes my 3ds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try a different one?
  • haddad @ haddad:
    What did work for me is taking the raw .bin files, convert it to .pbp, then take that .pbp and convert to .cia

    it worked, but my file is 30% larger, I want to utilize .chd to have a smaller file size
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I can't say where but there are a lot of FF7 pbps online lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's that one stations they don't want us to pay at
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah FF7 and a couple of others are sensitive to being compressed I think due to anti piracy measures
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some sort of like sector check in the code of the game or something
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol Ken or Vims layer or something
  • haddad @ haddad:
    I found out my own method which is

    1. download the indivudal .bin/.cue files
    2. use psx2psp to convert it into single .pbp
    3. then use ps1 forwader creator to convert to single .cia
    4. installed .cia file on 3ds and played that way

    wonderngi if there is an easier way to just convert all bin file to chd
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I used a different converter and did a batch job on like the entire PS1 North American library it took a while lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    After compression and deleting like all the junk games was like 350GBs or something
  • haddad @ haddad:
    I am trying it with FF7 now, it's 3 dics and I am seeing if it works
  • haddad @ haddad:
    I just merged all 3 dics into 1 pbp, then converted to .cia and now moving to my 3ds now
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Lol 3 dics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    That's one of the hardest ones to get working very finicky
