    Chdman - Question about converting game with multiple bin files

    Yeah when you convert in chdman it mentions its using FLAC for audio and LZMA for other bits here and there. Clever stuff and much better at compressing overall than just zipping the game itself. Interestingly there was discussion regarding the upcoming MStation (XStation Successor) possibly...

    Chdman - Question about converting game with multiple bin files

    Dunno, honestly don't care about using mame / emulators so it was the first place I figured I would ask. Either way it looks like its not possible to do what I was hoping for so I'll just have to be content with zip folders. EDIT: Sasori95 over on reddit came through, turns out you can restore...

    Chdman - Question about converting game with multiple bin files

    Basically I'm just wanting to use chd for archiving games because the compression beats using 7zip LZMA/2, and then being able to convert back for whatever use later would be super convenient. I made a post over on the mame reddit about this...

    Chdman - Question about converting game with multiple bin files

    Sorry for the bump but this works great for PS1 and PS2, unfortunately it doesn't work for Dreamcast even using the latest versions. Redump verified bin/cue > cue2chd > chd2cue > binmerge -outdir "./gamename" "gamename.cue" "gamename" > Redump non-verified It's a shame too because for...

    Does anyone have ScummVM 2.7.1 specifically?

    https://web.archive.org/web/20250429021608/https://buildbot.scummvm.org/dailybuilds/stable/wii-stable-583660fb.tar.xz There is this one but its "stable" and not a "daily build", but it does have some changes compared to the 2.9.0 that was on the main downloads page...

    Does anyone have ScummVM 2.7.1 specifically?

    Great thanks! Yeah they even went back through all their older versions and even the build bot doesn't have them anymore. Most google results for "ScummVM Wii" always just end up linking to the scummvm downloads page. thanks again.

    Does anyone have ScummVM 2.7.1 specifically?

    I saw ScummVM have removed all of their downloads for the Wii version, fortunately you can easily still download it using waybackmachine, unfortunately though, versions above 2.7.1 break compatibility with some games like Broken Sword 1. At the very least we can still get 2.7.0 but 2.7.1 is not...

    Hacking QUICK/NEWBIE QUESTIONS here!

    Are you using composite currently or component with 480i? Composite looks terrible no matter what.

    I think so but other people can hopefully confirm.

    Hacking QUICK/NEWBIE QUESTIONS here!

    Once you get it modded there is a "480p fix" in Priiloader and most homebrew with the 480p fix built in by now. So it really only matters if you're using the Wii as stock. Even so, if you're using a HDMI modded Wii or component cables, it will still look far better than composite 480i.

    Hacking QUICK/NEWBIE QUESTIONS here!

    Yes the second way is correct. You can have the folder name be anything you want (not sure if there's a limit, probably), I use wit and then just make the folder myself, but Wii Backup Manager will do the whole naming thing for you.

    Homebrew [RELEASE] WIi-BLOOD

    Congrats! Been following the other thread for awhile. Hopefully this makes porting other build engine games easier in the future.

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    I think you misunderstood, I'm playing games from the USB SSD, not the disc drive, but the disc drive LED flashes occasionally despite not being used / having a disc inserted.
