CUE to CCD Converter
A command-line utility to convert CUE-based disc images into the CloneCD format.cue-2-ccd reads a CUE sheet together with its referenced track files and writes a matching set of
.ccd, .img, and .sub files. It handles discs that mix data and audio tracks, and it supports several data track modes. The .img output is always a full image of 2352 bytes per sector. Mode 1 and mode 2 sectors are rebuilt complete with their sync pattern, header, EDC, and ECC, and the .sub output is generated with correct P and Q subchannel data. Embedded pregaps, generated pregaps, postgaps, and a media catalog number are all carried through to the output.Prebuilt binaries are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Each download is a single self-contained executable, so there is no runtime to install.

Usage
cue-2-ccd takes a CUE sheet as its input.cue-2-ccd <input.cue> [output_dir]The first argument is the path to the CUE sheet. The second argument is optional. When it is left out, a folder named CCD is created next to the input CUE sheet and the output is written there. When an output folder is given, the output is written directly into that folder. The output files take their name from the input CUE sheet, so
game.cue produces game.ccd, game.img, and game.sub.On Windows, you can also drag a CUE file from File Explorer and drop it onto
cue-2-ccd.exe. This runs the conversion using the default output location, placing the converted files in a CCD folder next to the CUE file.Example Usage
Convert a CUE sheet using the default output location.cue-2-ccd "Taito Chase H.Q. + S.C.I. (Japan).cue"Example Output
