ECM (Error Code Modeler)

ECM (Error Code Modeler) is a handy tool that helps you compress different CD images. This is super useful when you want to save space, especially for backups.

What Can You Do with ECM?

This little app does more than just compression. It’s quick and lets you convert files in no time!

Supported CD Image Formats

With ECM, you can work with popular CD image formats like BIN, CCD, CDI, CDR, ISO, or NRG. Importing these files is a breeze! Just drag and drop them into the main window or use the File menu options.

How to Convert Files

After importing your CD image file, set up the name and location for the output file. The app will create an ECM file for you. Once you're ready, hit the Convert button at the bottom right corner of the window. When it’s done, ECM will show a confirmation message.

Check Out Your Conversion Logs

If you're curious about how ECM handled your file, just check out the Logs panel. Want to start over? No problem! Just click the Clear button on the top toolbar and import a new file.

How Does ECM Work?

The magic behind ECM happens when it reduces your CD image file size by removing Error Correction and Detection Codes from various sectors—if that’s possible. This process works on any file using raw sectors.

User-Friendly Experience

The best part? ECM is super intuitive and easy to use! It gives you all the tools needed to shrink your CD image files down to size and convert them into the ECM format.
