- Create a CHD from a BIN/CUE pair (CD-ROM image):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`chdman createcd {{[-i|--input]}} {{path/to/file.cue}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/file.chd}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Create a CHD from a raw hard drive image:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`chdman createhd {{[-i|--input]}} {{path/to/disk.img}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/disk.chd}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Extract (decompress) a CHD back to BIN/CUE:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`chdman extractcd {{[-i|--input]}} {{path/to/file.chd}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/file.cue}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Verify integrity of CHD file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`chdman verify {{[-i|--input]}} {{path/to/file.chd}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- View CHD metadata information:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`chdman info {{[-i|--input]}} {{path/to/file.chd}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Update a CHD file to the latest format version:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`chdman copy {{[-i|--input]}} {{path/to/old_file.chd}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/new_file.chd}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Convert a compressed hard drive image to uncompressed (for editing):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`chdman extracthd {{[-i|--input]}} {{path/to/disk.chd}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/disk.img}}`
