# Cue Maker
A simple and easy to use program that fetches the original .cue files for your roms.

# Usage
This program will work with the following extensions:

```
.bin > .cue and .m3u creation
.img > .cue and .m3u creation
.chd > .m3u creation
```

You can also tell it to extract zip files, create the necessary .cue and .m3u files, and recompress them.

Using this program is really simple. You can use the -h flag for usage instructions. Alternatively, you can see the output of the command here:

```
usage: cuemaker [-h] [-r] [-g] [-m] [-z] {playstation,playstation2,saturn,3do} directory

Original .cue file fetcher for game roms and .m3u creator.

positional arguments:
  {playstation,playstation2,saturn,3do}
                        the system (console) the roms belong to
  directory             the directory for the roms

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -r, --recursive       search sub-folders
  -g, --generic         create generic .cue files if originals can't be found
  -m, --m3u             create .m3u files for multiple disc games
  -z, --zips            extracts zip files containing roms, processes them and re-zips them in a
                        single one (-r needs to be activated)
```

This is an example command:

```
$ cuemaker -zmr playstation .
```

This command will extract all zip files that finds in the current directory, search sub-folders for roms, create .m3u files if the games are multi-disc, and recompress anything that was previously compressed, treating them all as playstation games (meaning it will try to match them against the playstation games database).

## Formatting

You will need to follow certaing formatting on the roms name's in order to ensure the correct functionality of the program. The list of roms is ordered alphabetically when the program is executed, for this reason you need to make sure that Track and Disc files are in the correct order. To make it easy, make sure your roms comply with these points:

* If the file is a Track file, it must be enclosed in parenthesis and must have a space beforehand: " (Track 2)"
* If the game has multiple discs, you need to state it the same way as tracks: " (Disc 3)"
* If the game has multiple discs and multiple track files, the Disc indicator **must come before the Track indicator.**
* The Disc and Track indicators must be after the game's name, you may specify region anywhere else.

This is a correctly formatted list of roms:

```
3x3 Eyes - Kyuusei Koushu S (Japan) (Disc 1) (Track 1).bin
3x3 Eyes - Kyuusei Koushu S (Japan) (Disc 1) (Track 2).bin
3x3 Eyes - Kyuusei Koushu S (Japan) (Disc 1) (Track 3).bin
3x3 Eyes - Kyuusei Koushu S (Japan) (Disc 1) (Track 4).bin
3x3 Eyes - Kyuusei Koushu S (Japan) (Disc 2) (Track 1).bin
3x3 Eyes - Kyuusei Koushu S (Japan) (Disc 2) (Track 2).bin
```
