Homebrew How do you convert multi-bin files into a single cue/bin file for playing PC-CD games on TemperPCE?

[AyanMegat]

Hi, guys, this is probably my first post. But as the title suggest, is it possible to do so? TemperPCE have issues with multi-bin PC-CD games (outright refuses to boot). So is there any way to convert them into single cue/bin files, or is there any way to run the multi-bin games? Thanks in advance! Cheers!

Okay, I realised how it works. Basically, this is how it worked out for me. You need to open the game first, it will show error. Then open the CD-ROM bios file (syscard_3 for me), and then press start. Then open the game again, it will also show error, but ignore it. Then just return to the game again, and it loads. It is weird really, but this is how it worked for me.

So is there any way to convert them into single cue/bin files

The most direct way would be to mount the .cue file in a virtual drive program on your PC (I like Virtual CloneDrive), and then use imgburn to re-rip the image from the virtual drive.
