BIN file and CUE file?

[Burnman]

Ok, I have just downloaded and am left with 2 BIN files and 2 CUE files and a RAR file. I have checked some of the FAQ's on Peernet and it says all I have to do is to download the relevant Bin and Cue file onto a CD, I have tried this and all it does is burn them on and I can do nothing with them, also do I have to burn them on to a DVD due to the size of the file (744mb)? Can someone please help maybe point me to somewhere with a write up how to do this. :shy

You're new, we'll cut you some slack. Please DO NOT post titles of what you download, its against forum rules. Please edit your post.

Now, get a program similar to Nero www.nero.com . Nero has a free trial, so I'd use that for now.

Open nero, hit cancel to the wizard if it comes up. Now go to file > Open. Open the .cue file with nero. Make sure the coresponding .bin file is in the same folder as the .cue file. Nero should burn the .bin file to a cd.

The other way to do this, is to get winISO or a similar program, and unpack the .bin into an .iso, then use your favorite burning program to burn the .iso. Do this by going to File > Open, then selecting the .iso

In the future, please search the forums before asking something like this. Yes, bin is only 3 characters, but .bin is 4. www.google.com is also your friend.

You can also use this guide I did. It works.

I actually did this for the 1st time a few days ago with Alcohol 120% (Do A Google Search). Here is a little guide also:

I guess I'm not understanding your question.

You don't have to burn them, you can use some emulater programs like daemon tools to run a virtual drive, and run it off the hd.

I've heard some games look for the code on the cd, and if it doesn't match the game manufacturers code, it won't run, so the code on a burned cd will be different.
