They should be compatible with all displays and scalers that can handle those signals: Retro Gaming Cables offers a Component Video cable that’s switchable between 15KHz (240p/480i) and 31KHz (480p) modes. Retro Access Dreamcast BNC Cable (choose length and audio connector from the drop-down) Retro Access Dreamcast SCART Cable (you can choose cable type from the drop-down) Output Options (analog options above, HDMI options below): Analog Options (can be combined with a converter to get HDMI): As a result, an RGB cable is only a good option if you’re using a display that only supports 240p and 480i. If you use an RGB cable, the few 240p games that are available will look great, but all other games will only output in 480i. If you’re not familiar with those terms, I highly recommend you read my 240p page before continuing.Īll 480p Dreamcast games look great through VGA and if you have a display that supports a 480p input, then that’s by far the best output method in most cases. ![]() Note 2: "For my Linux peeps, if you have chdman installed, you can use : for cue in \*/\*.cue doĬhdman createcd -i "$.chd" done".The Dreamcast (like most other 6th generation game consoles) outputted most games in 480i, with some supporting 240p and 480p. Make sure the file you're trying to convert is either in the CUE or GDI file format, cue files will not work with Dreamcast games Note: GDI files can not be replaced with CDI files. Thanks to everyone who followed this guide! If you have any questions or are confused about anything to do with this guide please comment! So now once you run CUE or GDI to CHD you should get a chd file named the same as the GDI file you converted! Load it up with the Flycast core in RetroArch! I see no reason to change a CHD back to a CUE anyways but each to their own i suppose. I'm not sure whether or not the CUE still depends on the bin files you deleted but i'm guessing not. This chd file doesn't require any bin files so you can just delete all of your game files now except the chd file you just created.ĬHD to CUE tells chdman.exe to change the CHD file back into a CUE file. bat file will make a chd file in the same directory the 4 files are in. The reason there's 4 files is because they all have different uses:Ĭhdman.exe is actually the program that does all the work! nothing happens if you open it, but the other 3 files tells chdman.exe what to do:ĬUE or GDI to CHD tells chdman.exe to make a chd file from either a Cue or GDI file. Step 4: "I'm confused! which of the 4 files do i run!?" Thanks to BsLeNuL for pointing this out for me! Not sure if it works with other CD based games but for Dreamcast games you must use a GDI file. If you don't have a cue file then that's fine this step is irrelevant, if you do follow this step, and if you only have a cue file and no gdi file the game won't run! For whatever reason you must use a GDI file to convert to a chd, cue files don't work. The reason being is that for whatever reason having a gdi and a cue file in the same location screws up your conversion. cue file out of the folder and place it somewhere else. So now that the chdman files are in the same location as your game files, there's one more step left to do and that's move your. For example all of my files for 1 game are in a folder simply called the title of the game, so i'd paste the chdman files (i'll be referring to the files you downloaded as this from now on) in there. I think you'll be safe without moving the README haha) into the folder where all your game files are stored. It'll be a ZIP file so you'll need to extract it with 7-Zip, hopefully you should know how to do that! Next Copy (or cut) and paste all 4 files (chdman.exe, CUE or GDI to CHD.bat, Extract CHD to CUE.bat and Extract CHD to GDI.bat. The folder you downloaded in the previous step should be titled "CHDMAN (Retro-Pie User-Friendly)". To get GDI to CHD working follow these steps:įirst start off by downloading the files from here (Thanks to whoever uploaded this folder!)Ĭlick the download button in the top right corner to download properly. Which is pretty cool because instead of having a bunch of files just for 1 game it's just like any other ROM (one file per game). After a lot of trial and error i finally got this working. This means you would be able to keep all your Dreamcast games in one folder as opposed to a folder a game. GDI to CHD is a program used to convert gdi files frequently found when downloading Dreamcast games to a single file. it took me quite a bit to finally get CHD files working with the Flycast core in retroarch, Hopefully it won't be as confusing for you with this simple guide! ![]()
