HOW TO extract emc images to regular bin/cue image
You might have find an bin/cue image that instead of *.bin file has *.bin.emc file. Advantage of this file is that it is much smaller than regular image but to use it you first have to uncompress it. OK, so you have two files image.bin.emc, and image.cue. To extract it you need first to install wine. Simplest way to do this is to type:
sudo apt-get install wine
Next you need to
download converter.
Here you can find more about the converter.
Extract the archive and rename the
unemc.exe to
unemc. Next right click on it and then
Properties->Permissions->Allow executing file as program.
Now open terminal and type:
winecfg
On
Drives tab you can see at which folder you can run the
unemc file. By default it is
/home/your_username/.wine/drive_c but you can add any other folder if you like here. If you choose to use default folder just close the
winecfg. Now copy the
unemc file to this directory (
/home/your_username/.wine/drive_c is default). Open terminal, press
Alt+F2 and type
gnome-terminal, navigate to the directory where
unemc is located and type:
cp unemc /home/your_username/.wine/drive_c/unemc
cd /home/your_username/.wine/drive_c
Now you should be in the same
drive_c folder together with
unemc file. If so you can type:
./unemc /full/path/to/your/compressed/image/image.bin.emc /full/path/to/your/compressed/image/image.bin
Wait until it finish and you will have usable image.bin file.
