CHD Manager is now Game Format Converter. This is an old release. The current version is Game Format Converter 2.1.0. The old program can't update itself to it, so please download it once by hand.

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.
