Games Bin/Cue

Issue #9 new
Former user created an issue

i'm having major difficulties rescening bin/cue files. 99% of them fail. It creates the rars for the bin file but as soon as it gets to the cue then it starts trying to search for the best rar version again to try and compress and never finds it. I found that ISO's work the best. Thanks for the great work though :P

    Sorry about that, only got back now. Star_Wars_Republic_Commando_Proper-VENGEANCE T72.BALKANS.ON.FIRE-DEViANCE The_Day_After-VENGEANCE TOM.CLANCYS.RAINBOW.SIX.3.RAVEN.SHIELD.ATHENA.SWORD-DEViANCE Trainz.Railroad.Simulator.2006-RELOADED PAINKILLER-DEViANCE It also can't compress multiple CD's. I haven't had one release with multiple cd's reconstructed, and I have done a lot of rescening. Painkiller is a multi cd one

    And it loops through every rar version and eventually fails I see command line has actually cut off part of the text at the end of a line 5 chars about :(

    "srr-0.5.beta5.exe"

    Where did you get that? There is no beta 5. Just beta 1 to 4 and the release.

  5. Gerardt Gräter

    Ah :P Sorry about that. Forgot to mention. I'm using the srr file in pyReScene-0.5.1-win.zip I just renamed it as I coded a front end that works on names (srr-beta-0.5.betaX) so that when one version doesn't work it switches to another version

  6. Gerardt Gräter

    I'm doing this as I found a release that I wasn't able to compress with the release but I was able to compress it with beta3. It's also easier not having to type the entire command line everytime XD. Checkboxes, the way of the future

  7. Gerardt Gräter

    I just managed to rescene a bin/cue combination Hunting.Unlimited.2008-JFKPC

    The only difference that I can see between the cues are line breaks (when opening in notepad though). You are reading bytes though so it shouldn't matter, just food for thought maybe

    Hunting.Unlimited.2008-JFKPC's cue: FILE "HU2008-JFKPC.BIN" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE1/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00

    Failed Cue: FILE "dev-tmn1.BIN" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE1/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00

  8. Gfy repo owner

    Do you still know the name of the release that did work with beta 3, but not with the final version? This is something that should not happen. Probably something went wrong while adding code to try to increase the success rate.

  9. Former user Account Deleted

    A simple question, why aren't the cue files included in the srr?

    They are extremely small 70 - 200+ bytes, much smaller than the nfo or sfv files and I found that most of the time I have the original .bin but the cues have been tampered because of renaming (emule-osiolek) or the original was incorrectly formatted. I have been able to correct most of them, but it is a pain in the ***.

    By the way, I was having the same problem as VenoMpie but lately it seems to be solved.

    NOTE: GREAT program and I'm using the latest version (0.5.0.0).

  10. Gfy repo owner

    Cue files are included in SRRs, but only for music. For all the other stuff, it's inside the RAR files and they are compressed. To get these out, unrar is needed. This is also the case for creating SRRs for vobsubs, so code for extracting stuff is already there. I had thought about it before, but it still needs to be developed.

    I might add a flag when storing cues to the stored files list to indicate that the file comes from the RARs. (it could prevent extraction by default, use it when the external file isn't fine, different visualization on site,...)

  11. Former user Account Deleted

    Extraction might not be necessary since cue files for the games are either at the beginning or at the end of the rar volumes. The program read the header of the rar anyway to know which file is first (I guess) then you could read the extra bites for the cue and saved the hex values instead of the text (no reconstruction necessary) if it's at the beginning (it includes 32bytes after the cue or before the name of the bin) or the last 100-200 bytes or so of the last rar volume (32bytes before the name of the cue to the end of the rar). That would prevent having to use the method2 and save enormous reconstruction time since the program always spend more time trying to compress the cue than the bin.

    This would allow rebuilding of releases even when you don't have the cues or if they have been tampered (some are not easy to bring back in their original state).
