Multiple BIN files with GDI
Hi, I am trying to merge multiple BIN Files so I can play a game. What is normally in CUE format is in GDI format so I am unable to merge them using CD Mage. Does anyone know how to do this? I have also tried to change it to CHD but I am unable to. It is for House of the Dead 2, it has the tracks (BIN) and one GDI file. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Re: Multiple BIN files with GDI
On what platform are you trying to play? I assume an emulator, in which case, why bother converting? What emulator are you using that doesn't have native GDI support?
Also, given that GDI is its own unique TOC format, there's no concept of "merging BINs". Not an option, as no GDI parser out there would even know where to begin with such a merge.
I've never messed around with converting GDI to CHD (haven't had the use-case), but this post seems to explain the process:

Re: Multiple BIN files with GDI
To create a chd from a tosec gdi - extract zip to a newly created subdirectory, from here create a new subdirectory name and put game files there. goto first subdirectory and run makechd.
Don't use bin/cue - mame's chdman doesn't support those on the Dreamcast.
Edit: Or download it:
