Stupid Questions?

-Do I need the .CUE file if I'm just downloading a game to my hard drive?

-Is the .CUE file used only if your burning the game to disc?

-If you don't have a burner are .Bin's and .CUE's useless to you?

If you want to burn a .BIN to disc, you will need the .CUE file, as this contains needed information.

.BINs are useful even if you don't have a CD-Burner. You can "mount" the CD-Images onto a Virtual Drive in programs such as Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools.

You don't really need .cue file Nasrules. It works fine without .cue file. And if you have the .cue file from the same game but another version, then u will waste a cd.
