PSIOHelper is a cross platform standalone program written in GoLang to prepare cue/bin files for the PSIO cardtrige. It runs in Windows, Linux and MacOS.
Merge multibin files into single bin
Convert CUE sheets to CU2 sheets
Download game covers automatically
Shorten file names longer than 60 characters
For the most basic use, place the downloaded file in the same folder that your cue/bin files are and execute the program. This will create a folder called output and place each game in its own folder, merge its bin files, create a CU2 sheet and download the cover image.
For an advance use open the power shell in the directory where the PSIOHelper binary is placed and execute the program passing any of the available commands.
Open a terminal, navigate to the location where the PSIOHelper binary is placed and execute it passing any of the available commands.
Windows note: In windows you will have to write .\psioHelper.exe instad of ./psioHelper for this commands to run in shell.
Linux/MacOS note: If you downloaded the Linux or Mac version of the binary, rename it from psioHelperLinux/psioHelperMac to psioHelper for the following commands to work, or call them using ./psioHelperLinux/./psioHelperMac as base.
./psioHelper -h displays all the available commands
