Hacking Multiple bins to 1 eboot with PSX2PSP?

[CheeseMan13]

I have Dodonpachi and it's 12 bin files with a .cue. How would I go about converting it to an eboot with PSX2PSP?

UPDATE 12/7/2018: I found out how to combine them all. First, install IsoBuster and make sure to associate it with .cue and .bin files. Next, open the cue file with IsoBuster and click on the CD (it should be at the top of the list on the left side of the window). With that selected, go to File > CD > Extract CD (image) and select "RAW (*.bin, *.iso)" and a window will pop up asking where to save it. Note that it'll save it as an iso by default so if you want a bin, make sure to make it so it does that. It'll also make a new .cue file and you'll have to show it where to save that as well, and you're done! After that you should be able to convert it to an eboot just fine.

you mount the disk to a virtual cd drive and make a single bin/cue out of it by dumping it again, then you convert it to an eboot.

I don't really have access to the original disc anymore. Is there any command or something I can use to merge them into 1?

you dont need the original disk.
like i said, use a virtual cd drive and mount the .cue file you have with your 12 .bin files into that virtual drive, then dump it again from that.

I dunno how to mount to a virtual drive but I have one real CD drive (pretty sure I can use that). How would I go about dumping it then?

 

[Kitsu-neechan]

you cant mount a file to a real cd drive unless you burn it to a cd first.

for a virutal cd drive, google for daemon tools, this will let you set one up

I don't have access to my PC right now but when I do and get daemon tools lite. How would I go about mounting the .cue and then dump it into 1 bin file?

daemon tools should make a new cd drice appear to your computer, you right click it, and select mount image, and point it to your game's cue file.
then you open imgburn or whatever program you use to copy cd's and tell it to make an image out of the disk in the drive you created with daemon tools.
this will make you a new bin/cue of the game which is not split into 12 pieces.

Alrighty thanks, still got a few questions though. Daemon tools lite says it's free but with ads, will it install adware on my PC or just show ads in the corner of the window or something. Also, I installed imgburn a while ago and it installed Chromium without giving me an option to not install it so I uninstalled imgburn. Is there any other program besides imgburn that can can do the same thing and not try to install malware along with it?

Update: I've also read that Daemon Tools installs trojans. Any good alternative?

 

[Kitsu-neechan]

you can install imgburn without it installing all the shit to your pc but it's put into some REALLY tiny text somewhere into the installer, i remember this because i had it do the same to me first time around. (someone should just kill the people who invented this installer spam lol)

as for daemon tools, i wouldn't know, i have an errrr.... less than legitimate full version of it

Well I used some alternatives (CDBurnerxp and WinCDEmu) and it didn't work. I just give up at this point. Guess I'll play SOTN on my computer

If you are running windows 10, there is an inbuilt virutal disk drive function.

Late to the party here but I just found the thread while Googling for something else.

You don't need to mount .cue files to do this. Here's a Python script that merges the .bin files into one: https://github.com/putnam/binmerge

And here's a Bash script that you can use to automate the above over an entire collection of affected ROMs: https://github.com/mtrivs/MergeHelper

Although I found a couple of issues with the above script which I fixed like so: https://pastebin.com/a0Gkw5cG
