All those big *.bin files come with *.cue files (only a few k). You use the *.cue files to burn the *.bin files on CDs.

Guess you know Nero, right? So just click the "Open" button in Nero and select the *.cue file to burn the game to a CDR.

Or use a something like Daemon-Tools to mount the game into a virtual CD-Rom drive. Google on this if you need further explaination.

open notepad, write that :

Code: Select all

FILE "nameofthefile.BIN" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

or that :

Code: Select all

FILE "nameofthefile.BIN" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

and save file as "nameofthefile.cue"

I tried creating the .cue files, but UltraISO keeps saying "Image file format unknown" (for both the .cue and .bin). Burned it to a CD, but after burning one of them there was nothing on the CD ¿¿?? Now i am trying to Daemon Tool. Hope it work...

Just open the PC game bin with ultraiso and if theres something, you should see, and rename to .iso and burn with fav app.
If theres nothing, you downloaded crap or you downloaded with errors or you did not complete your download. Cue file usually is not needed.
