opening .bin files ????

bopdude · 19-12-2004, 20:08

Hi all, have got a couple of .bin files, now i know nothing about them, i've read about daemon tools, and installed it, and renaming the .cue file. I think i've done what the read me file's said to do but still can't get it opened.
Also nero's supposed to open them but no joy there either.

Can someone please steer me right, TIA

Try ISOBuster, from here - http://www.smart-projects.net/isobuster/

And, if they are VCD/SVCD bins, containing MPG files etc, then have a read of this: http://www.videohelp.com/forum/userguides/141726.php

Nero can burn bin/cue images, but I don't know if you can use it to simply open them.

.BIN's normally have associated .CUE files, you simply mount the .CUE file in Daemon Tools, then you can browse to the mounted image in Explorer as if it were another CD drive.
