Quick and crude cuesheet generator for GD-ROMs

Post by darcagn »

Double click batch file, it will ask you how many tracks the total GD-ROM dump has
acceptable input is 3, 5-99

Batch file will then generate a hdsession.cue cuesheet file that you can use to access the gd-rom's high density information. See this thread for a little more information on this.

This is a quick and crude file, it makes lots of assumptions:
  • your data tracks are raw/2352
  • your track files must be in the filename format trackXX.(bin/raw)
  • the high density session begins with track03.bin
  • track03 and the last track of the hd session are data, the rest are cdda
  • track03 begins at LBA 45000
  • there will be a 150-sector gap between two tracks of different data types
This should all be OK for you if you dumped with httpd-ack on default settings and your gd-rom is an official gd-rom without mastering defects. if this doesn't work for your particular dump, post here and let me know and i'll help you figure it out/modify my script as necessary.
