I have downloaded a game and it is a .BIN image file.

How do I copy this onto CD?? I am using nero and have found some info on the web about it but talks about a .CUE file but I am not sure what it is, wasn't one come with the download as its just one file.

If I try to burn the .BIN file to a CD (by going into Nero and selecting burn image then select the .BIN file and hit write) it will not read the CD afterwards.

Any help much appreciated.

Use CDR win or Fireburner.

.bin is a binary image of the data and .cue is the cue sheet(viewable with notepad)

Typically you must download the associated .cue file.

Its a text file which instructs the cd-writing program (fireburner, nero, etc) HOW to burn the cd image to the cd.

Yeah sorry missed that you didn't have the Cue.

You can construct one using notepad as I said.

I can mail you some sample ones if you want.

Yea a sample would be great, thanks.

Only seems to wanna burn the .CUE file to CD and not the image file??

Will give CDRWIN a go.

It should look like this: -

FILE "UK_Info_2003_Install_Disk.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

or

FILE "Autoroute2002-CD2.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

or

FILE "C:\WINXP-PLUS.BIN" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

Give this a try

FILE "the name of your game file here.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00


I have emailed you one any way

Stu....

Edit - You can load a notepad .txt file as a cue sheet no problem so create your file in notepad and save it as yourgame.txt.

Start up CDR-win, choose record disk and navigate to your .txt file

ScoobyNet does not condone the copying of software.

I am closing this thread for that reason.
