They're image files (like a CD image or whatever). You could use WinImage
That didn't work, sorry.
Aren't BIN files meant to be burned to disc?
there is an app called binchunker that should do it.
bins typically come with cue files...
Did you try renaming the extension to .ISO to see if it has an iso file system and therefore viewable by nearly any image supporting software? That's your only option aside from finding the cue if there was one. Renaming it to .ISO might work, but then if there are extra audio tracks (if it's a mixed mode image) or something, you really need to have the cue to burn or mount it properly.
ah crap there was a burning program i once had to use to deal with bin files, can't for the life of me remember what it was called. if i do, i'll post it .
Bah, nothing beats dealing with .bins than IsoBuster. You can install / extract the info from the .bin directly via IsoBuster without bothering burning to a disc. It's made piracy so much easier. :)

Goldenhawk's CDRWIN, Ahead Nero or Alcohol 120% all burn bin/cue sets. He's just got a bin is the problem. But if the bin is just PC data and therefore in like ISO9660 format, then most any image program should be able to deal with it and you don't need the cue.Quote:
