CHD Manager 2.0.0 now converts PSP, GameCube, Wii and Wii U disc formats as well as CHD, PBP and CDI, checks that a conversion will fit on the drive before it starts, and is now free software under the GPL.

What's new

  • New formats. CSO and ZSO (PSP/PS2), ECM, and the GameCube/Wii family: ISO, RVZ, WIA, WBFS, GCZ and CISO, plus Wii U WUX/WUD in both directions. Archives (zip, tar, gz, 7z, rar) can be added directly.
  • Mode 1 error correction for CD images, so a CUE/BIN with blank error-correction data becomes a complete, correct image.
  • Disk-space check. Before each conversion the app estimates the space it will need (temporary files included) and refuses a job that clearly won't fit, with a plain message, instead of failing halfway.
  • Safer clean-up, your choice. Sources still go to the Recycle Bin after a verified result; there is now an optional, warned "delete permanently" switch that frees the space at once.
  • Command line. chdm (in the zip) runs the same conversions without a window and returns exit codes 0/1/2.
  • PSP title cards. PBP files with no artwork of your own get a drawn title card with the game name and code.
  • Easier Wii setup. One window: show the app where Dolphin is, or give it your own Wii key. No key is included in the program or this repository, and none is downloaded.
  • License is now GPL v3 or later, because the GameCube/Wii code is a Python port of parts of the Dolphin emulator's GPL code. Full notices are in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt.
  • Fixes: the settings window now fits its contents on scaled displays, and a column that clipped "GameCube disc".

Updating

Version 1.4.0's built-in updater should offer this release. Otherwise unzip CHD-Manager-2.0.0-win64.zip anywhere and run CHD Manager.exe. Python is not needed, and your settings carry over.

Notes

  • The exe is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn about an unknown publisher (More info, Run anyway), and some antivirus programs are wary of packaged Python programs.
  • Tested against Dolphin's own tool, the real lz4 library and real discs; not tested on real hardware or in every emulator. The README lists exactly what was and wasn't tested.
  • This project includes no games, BIOS files or Wii keys. Use it only with discs you own.
