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.

CHDMan Download

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

Hasoon2000’s PSC Toolkit (Recovery Tools)

PSCToolkit is a recovery tool to help those who have somehow corrupted their PSC Mini or those that want to revert back to the stock firmware, there is now an easier way to do it by minimizing the tech jargon or learning to use Google’s FASTBOOT system.

Now, 1st and foremost, the PSCToolkit folder MUST be placed in the root of C:\ Drive. If it is not, this program will not work. You will need a copy of your LBOOT.EPB and/or LRECOVERY.EPB for this to work. If you don't have a copy, you can probably find one online or borrow your friend's files. I was able to restore someone's PSC with my files and re-mod it again with no issues.

Hypothetically speaking, you can flash other kernels (Like Autobleem, etc) using this process. However, I never tested it nor have I inspected the inner kernel files, so do this at your own risk. To that note, everything is at your own risk. There's a chance of bricking your system if not done right, power loss, etc and I'm not responsible for anything that happens!
