What Do To With .bin Files?

[NeonG]

Got myself to this tutorial here: http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/archive/...e_with_nero.cfm and can't make heads or tails out of it! Can someone PLEASE explain this in idiot's terms? I already have the latest Nero. Can't I just burn the downloaded file right to the CD?

I didn't read it but burning .bins and .cues with nero is simple they should post a pinned topic about this look all u do is go to file>burn image then go to the destinatioon of the .cue folder make sure the .bin is in the same folder

[NeonG]

Couple questions:

1: The .cue is the file I downloaded that tells Kazaa where to download the ACTUAL file, right? That file being the .bin file.

2: I have to download another copy of the .cue file for this to work, right?

3: The ONLY thing I need to make sure of is that they are in the same folder and Nero will do the rest for me, right?

Idiot guide in the link in my signature, it is idiot proof it so easy to use.

It may be, but it doesen't answer my questions or discuss putting a .bin ON TO a CD.

Now, can't I just burn the .bin DIRECTLY on to the CD?

Try afterdawn.com

If there isn't an obvious link at their site, look through the forums for what you want.
The site is dedicated to burning CD's/ DVD's , especiall movies, but it's quite similar.

No help there. That site is where the above link came from.

I caught a reference that only Nero needs the .cue to make it work properly. If I got a different CD-burning program, would I be able to just burn the .bin DIRECTLY onto the CD and have it work properly?

What are you talking about fella, you want to use a diffrent program well the link that i gvae you is all about that. You want to put the bin directly on the cd, what like data, then it is just a bin on a cd, same as it is on your hardrive, it will not work to run the game from. What do you want to do?

I hate bin files with passion to much work not able to preview them either I convet bin files to ISI with Winiso much easier

[NeonG]

Getting late... ugh

All I want is a SIMPLE step-by-step for making a .bin into a working game CD.



Now, I've got the full .BIN file downloaded into My Shared Folder. From what I've tried to glean from all this info is that I needed another copy of the file I downloaded into My Shared Folder to get the actual download started. I got that and opened it with Notepad. It showed me a buttload of those stupid squares and a jumbled filename down at the bottom.

Now, where do I go from here?
