WinRar Decompressed a .Bin File
Yeah high, Ive just downloaded a game/BitTorrent with Azureus.
It came down compressed and broken up using WinRar. I double clicked on the 1st file and it decompressed into 2 files, an 800 meg .Bin file and a 1KB .Cue file. What do i do with these if i want ot play the game?
Cheers oh wise Oracle

I have Nero and a CD/DVD burner.
Now its a 800 odd meg file so thats not gonna fit on a cd. So i guess i use a DVD?
what do i burn it as....data disk? bootable disk? which one in the Nero list?
when you say i use the .Cue file to burn the .Bin......not sure what you mean.
sorry about being so stupid
I dont if it is the same with games, but I use Nero all the time for WinRar movie files.I just click on the add files button in Nero and double click the .Bin file.I never touch any of the Cue files (I dont what they are).Oviously I would select the DVD option when I open Nero, but I assume you would use the Data option for games.
you can use this program to create a virtual disc drive, and thus run the .bin file as if it was in your CD-ROM drive, without having to burn a CD.
Thats great thanks all.
I ended up using 'WinImage' to open the .Bin file and then i copied the now viewable files into a new folder i created.
The program installed happily from there. It runs fine.
Ive since used Nero's Burn ISO image facility to burn a CD. The extracted files, were for some reason, smaller than the .Bin files and fitted.
Thanks for all the help
