marctv/chd-converter repository overview

⁠Docker CHD "Compressed Hunks of Data" Converter

Compresses GDI, ISO, BIN and CUE files to CHD using CHDMAN from MAME Tools.

• Skips existing .chd files
• Does not delete or modify source files
• Optional modes:
  • createcd (default)
  • createdvd
  • extractcd (CHD → ISO)
  • extractdvd (CHD → ISO)

⁠Quick Start — CD Conversion (Default)

  docker run \
  --rm \
  -v "$(pwd)/input/:/tmp/images/:rw" \
  -it marctv/chd-converter

$(pwd)/input/ is the local folder containing your GDI/ISO/CUE files. It can be any folder.

  docker run \
  --rm \
  -v "/user/input:/tmp/images/:rw" \
  -it marctv/chd-converter

⁠createdvd (Optional)

This is important for PlayStation Portable (PSP) CHD files.

   docker run \
 --rm \
 -e CHDMAN_MODE=createdvd \
 -v "$(pwd)/input/:/tmp/images/:rw" \
 -it marctv/chd-converter

⁠Extract CHD back to ISO

To extract existing .chd files back to .iso, use one of the extraction modes. The mounted folder must contain .chd files to extract.

⁠extractcd

  docker run \
  --rm \
  -e CHDMAN_MODE=extractcd \
  -v "$(pwd)/chdfiles/:/tmp/images/:rw" \
  -it marctv/chd-converter

⁠extractdvd

  docker run \
  --rm \
  -e CHDMAN_MODE=extractdvd \
  -v "$(pwd)/chdfiles/:/tmp/images/:rw" \
  -it marctv/chd-converter

These modes scan the mounted folder (e.g. chdfiles/) for existing .chd files and create corresponding .iso files in the same directory. Existing .iso files will be skipped.

⁠check existing CHD files

docker run --rm \
 -v "/volume1/base/chdmaker:/tmp/images/:rw" \
 --entrypoint chdman \
 -it marctv/chd-converter \
