dir2dat and CHDs in 4.036a

(1/1)

newuzer:
Hi Roman,

With the new dir2dat option of 4.036a version creating CHD enties as disks and using their internal SHA1, would it be possible to add an option to dir2dat to treat CHDs as normal file?
With support of rebuilding CHDs using their internal SHA1 not yet being implemented, it's currently still necessary to have file hash based CHDs datfiles.

Wishing you a healthy 2020,
NU.

Roman:
I will check this in 2020  :)

Roman:
well.....yes, currently you are stuck ;-)
Since only *.chd files (if they are valid ones) are added as disks, you could rename .chd files in e.g. .cchd and use dir2dat and manually change the ending afterwards....but yeah sure it's not really an option.

Rebuilding chds is not that far away I guess......if I only would find some time

Roman:
just a quick note, next nightly build will have a "keep chds as roms" switch....

newuzer:
Great, thanks Roman!

NU.
