"Stop fighting your tools. Start playing your games."

What is OpenROM?

OpenROM is a desktop app that converts ROM files between formats — no terminal, no googling command syntax, no headaches.

You drag a file in. You pick where you want it to go. You click Convert.

That's it.

Why does this exist?

If you've ever tried to convert a PS1 BIN to CHD, you've probably been here:

chdman createcd -i "game.cue" -o "game.chd"

And then you forgot the flags. Or the CUE was missing. Or you had 40 games to convert and wanted to cry.

OpenROM fixes all of that — batch processing, auto CUE generation, live progress, one click.

What can it convert?

You have | You want | OpenROM handles it -- | -- | -- PS1 BIN/CUE | CHD | ✅ PS2 ISO | CHD or CSO | ✅ GameCube ISO | CHD | ✅ Xbox ISO | XISO | ✅ ECM file | ISO or BIN | ✅ CHD | back to ISO/BIN | ✅ CSO/ZSO | back to ISO | ✅
