CDMage
CDMage is a useful program to use if (for some reason) you don't want to use CHD files but want single bin/cue files for your disc based games. The program has more usages such as extracting files from a game.
Simply Load Cue > File > Save As > (Don't change track modes) Ok
CHDMan
CHD is a compressed file format. It can be used for various emulators and is quite useful to save on space. You can use CHDMan to convert your bin/cue, bin/gdi, or iso files to chd.
Simply place your bin/cue, gdi, or iso files into the same folder as CHDMan and run this command or use the bat file included
CUE/GDI/ISO to CHD (Standard)
for /r %%i in (*.cue, *.gdi, *.iso) do chdman createcd -i "%%i" -o "%%~ni.chd"
If for some reason you're getting a performance hit using chd try this instead:
CUE/GDI/ISO to CHD (disabled LZMA)
for /r %%i in (*.cue, *.gdi, *.iso) do chdman createcd -i "%%i" -o "%%~ni.chd" -c cdzl,cdfl
namDHC
namDHC is a chdman frontend. Great for those that want a user interface to convert their disc games to chd format.
PNGoo
PNGoo is a lossy PNG compressor program. It can be used to compress or png files down with losing much quality. This is extremely useful when cutting down file sizes of cover art.
