MPF Check

MPF Check

MPF Check is an optional commandline component in the MPF project. This came about as a response to a lack of UI support on the Linux side. The goal of this program is to provide the same powerful library parsing and generation but without having to deal with the actual dumping part.

PLEASE NOTE: Many parts of this page are now out of date due to changes in both the structure of the internal code and changes to the UI. Please use these only as general guidelines until screenshots and other information can be updated.

Usage

MPF.Check.exe [standalone] <mediatype> <system> [options] </path/to/output.cue|.iso> ...

Please note that when dealing with outputs that contain multiple, split tracks, you must specific the path to the .cue file instead of the first .bin. This is due to some internal logic that gets the name for the rest of the output files.
