Exe And Bin Files

[tutana]

I have downloaded some games which are exe-files and run perfectly. The same games are available as bin-files with the cue-file for burning. I understand the bin-games are exact copies of the original cd:s but is there other differences to the exe-games? The exe is usually much smaller in file size.

1. a bin is a image of a cd so it is uasually the full cd (this means there will be no installaion problems as all the files are there)

2. a cue is not required to burn you can burn without a cue.

A .exe file is a rip of a game. This means that there are things like the intro, movies, music... cut out.

If you download the bin/cue version you can burn it and use it like an original cd.

how do u use the disk like the original cd? I thought u had to get a no cd crack :blink:

IMPORTANT:Cue files lets you know what mode to burn the cd.
U can use them directly in nero, or open them in notepad and manually set up the burning prog.
