What exactly are you wanting to do with it? Maybe I can help if you're more specific.

Take care,

I don't think there's such a program.
The only one I know converts CDI to NRG.

You should try to extract your files using Isobuster or CDMage and then make an image using any burning tool you want.

First i dunno why would you want to convert cdi/iso/nrg to bin. You could use cdi rip for converting cdi to bin, i think... I wouldn't recommend extracting the files with cd mage/ isobuster because you'll mess up the correct ordering of files as they appear on gd rom.
Quote: "When you manually extract the files using isobuster or winimage, you screw up the file ordering (since it will now be alphabetical when you add it)"

And then ?
A very few games have problems with the order of files (Ikaruga). I never had any problem...

I've never had any problems either, its not about that.
I've seen the difference when playing different games.
For example when playing bomberman online (echelon's release) my dreamcast clearly generates more heat due to the fact that the files are fragmented all over the cd. There are others too.

Quote:"So far only Kalisto releases appear to include the correct ordering of files as they appear on the GDROM (Utopia and Accession releases are sorted alphabetically). Ever wonder why Dead Or Alive 2 takes so long to load and seeks endlessly? This is because it has such a large number of small files and they are fragmented all over the CD. If you are concerned about rips
damaging your Dreamcast by over seeking, then I would stick to Kalisto releases until the other groups get their act together"

Maybe this is overreacting, maybe not but there is something in it... Lately i've been avoiding playing bomberman online. Other games by echelon were fine if not perfect.

[Megalexxx]

Well... maybe.
I've never really thought about that.

I've seen some people who tried to put their knowledge about ripping together in order to get the right sort.txt. Maybe their project is going on.
