I love when people can't figure out the warez they downloaded :p Bin and cue are image formats that usually have to be burned or mounted to be used. Isobuster may extract the files for you.

Not always warez stuff.

Do you have .cue file? If you have both the bin and cue Nero, Fireburner and CDRWin can burn those.

I like WINRAR for extracting all files from zip to, tar to, rar etc etc. As for the burning part yeah those BURN it but dony extract them so they can find the cuesheet then burn them.

huh?


You need the .cue and .bin of the same name. You can open the .cue with note pad and make sure the .bin is name correctly. Then open Nero and go to >File> burn image , Point it to the .cue file and select "Open"....then burn it. If there is an error it is because the text in the cue sheet that point to the .bin dosent match the name of the .bin EXACTLY.


enjoy

I know you do but WINRAR extracts the bin and the cue file to where ever you want so when you use CDRWIN to burn it the program sees the cue file so you can burn it. And yes sometimes the cue file isnt properly written so you have to edit it to get it to burn the right way. I use CDRWIN and WINRAR to burn all my files I put on CD.
