Hakamiq CHD Tool focuses on safe local CHD conversion workflows for supported disc image inputs.

Main supported inputs

The tool is designed around common disc image workflows such as:

  • CUE/BIN
  • ISO
  • GDI
  • CHD-related workflow validation

Actual conversion behavior depends on the selected input type, detected structure, and safety checks.

BIN/CUE notes

Standalone .bin files should not be treated as safe conversion inputs unless the related .cue file is present or the tool can safely resolve the disc layout.

A .cue file is important because it describes track layout, audio/data tracks, and disc structure.

ISO notes

ISO inputs are handled conservatively. The tool checks the source path, output path, and conversion conditions before processing.

PS3 notes

Sony PlayStation 3 support is experimental.

PS3-related inputs may be analyzed or classified, but conversion behavior must remain conservative. The tool should not imply full PS3 CHD support unless the specific workflow is explicitly supported by the current release.

Unsupported or restricted cases

The tool should avoid unsafe assumptions for:

  • Unknown standalone BIN files
  • Incomplete disc sets
  • Damaged source files
  • Missing companion files
  • Unsupported console layouts
  • Inputs that cannot be safely classified

Safety principle

When the tool cannot classify an input safely, it should refuse or skip the operation rather than generate a misleading or broken output.
