File organizer for PS-IO. To be an organizing tool it's really messy because I'm constantly playing with it as a proof of concept. It's just quicker for me to write an ugly Python tool than to organize my files by hand. Also it can be reused for when I want to generate hashes for the NTSC-J set and or whenever I find the latest redump.

Which reminds me: if you have the latest redump set you can A) send a link my way and/or 2) generate a hashes file by using the datscript.py script on the corresponding Datfile.dat available on the Redump website.

I've generated the supplied hashes.json by running the cuehasher.py script on my own set. This is probably a really shitty way to do this but I needed it to work once and it only takes a manageable amount of manual labor to tweak the data set until it works. From then on it's smooth sailing.

Let's talk about what this is.

What this is

Okay. psiorganizer is super domain specific and it satisfies my needs. However, if you have the same needs you might benefit from using psiorganizer as well.

If you have a PS-IO and the most common Redump set (20150524) (currently only the NTSC-U region) and you want an automatic way to import games from this set to a PS-IO friendly and you friendly structure then we are in the same boat.

If you have Mednafen and a fresh RAR archive from an ad revenue financed rom site forum then we do not have the same needs and you should close this tab.

Features

• Imports your games to a formatted directory structure
• Merges tracks into single binary blob using binmerge
• Generates CU2 files using cue2cu2
• Generates multidisc files

Future Features Maybe

• Adds cover images to imported games
• Downloads and imports the latest firmware

Usage

With the proper Python 3 in your shell:

$ ./main.py -i ~/roms/playstation/ntsc-u -o /dev/sdb1 -d ../lib/discs.json -m ../lib/hashes.json

Input -i is where your games are.

Output -o is where your SD card is.

Discs -d is where discs.json is (probably in /lib/).

Hashes -m is where the hashes.json is (again, probably in /lib/).

This turn this mess:

I'm not sure how to do this but let's do legal disclaimers starting with Cue2cue:
