I was wondering if anyone could help me burn a few files onto a cd so I could play a game I recently downloaded.
I read the faq, but im still confused on what to do as there is multiple files
the four files that downloaded are the following formats:
.cue.
.ccd
.img
.sub
I have no clue where to start. so any help would be galdly appreciated.

I would think you would just have to load the cue and it would tell the program how to do the rest, ive never actually come across that combination of formats but usually the cue its the master file to tell your program how to burn. Theirs nero, that burns them and I also think fireburner and alchool 120% do cues. I could be wrong but whats another coaster, if you have been burning when cd burners just came out you would be used to coasters by now.

IMG is like the "meat" of the image file. (Most of the data, sorta... like BIN)
SUB is the subchannel data.
CUE is a indicator for the software as to what kind of IMG you got (bytes/sector)
CCD is a clonecd extra data file.
You can tell Clone CD to also make a CUE. In which case you'd end up with all 4 files.
If you want to burn with CloneCD, you'd load the CCD (which then uses the IMG and SUB files, and forgets CUE).
If you want to burn with something else, you'd load the CUE (which then uses the IMG file, and forgets SUB and CCD).

Alternately you could use a program such as daemon tools. Daemon tools "mounts" the image into a virtual cd rom that shows up in "My Computer". You can just run the game off of that virtual drive. I do this a lot when testing ISO's to make sure they're not corrupt. Saves me lots of wasted cds.

Oh ya clone cd, I havn't used that in ages. Oh well you shouldn't have a problem with running it with the advice given. phalkon thats great to run it that way but its always nice to have a backup. Although it depends on the game if its a tiny game what the hey. Or a game your never gonna play again great although if its a good game you wanna burn it.
