Re: EMXP and Emax CD-ROMs - question

extract individual banks from those images.

In addition you can also extract the individual banks directly from the CD-Rom, so without having to make a disk image of the CD-Rom first ;-)

>>> It takes some time because EMXP makes you extract banks one-by-one, but it's worth it

Correct; of course you can select all banks at once (by selecting 'A' in the bank overview) and then keep the enter key pressed to speed up the loop which asks for the target file name per bank - as long as no file exists already with the suggested names, this "trick" works fine to extract all banks in a very short period of time.
Maybe in a next version I will add a true batch option.
