If you have 2 files one is cue and the other bin.To burn it open cue with your burning software and is going to burn the bin on cd around 700 MB.Also Alcohol can emulates an image file so you can open the bin with.Daemon Tools emulates image file too.

I’ve tackled this problem already. I even gave step-by-step instructions! My next two posts will be quotes - the first is mine, and the second is someone else’s, I forget. I’ll quote it on the post itself.

Mine is a general instruction, his gives instructions as to how exactly to mount an image file in Daemon Tools. Together, they should solve your problem.

In future, try to find a forum which deals with your problem, or alternatively, don’t just call the forum “Help” or something similar - a more descriptive name is useful!!

Hope these help.

The easiest way I’ve found to use virtual drives with downloaded image files is to use a combination of Daemon Tools (www.daemon-tools.cc) and Nero Burning Rom (www.nero.com). Occasionally, Alcohol 120% comes in handy, but those two programmes will emulate ample drives (up to about 10, used together), and will, between them, recognize most file types. Furthermore, Nero takes care of burning discs, and Daemon doesn’t take up much space. Cracks for these programmes (Daemon’s simple version - they’ve just gone pro - is still free) can be downloaded. Cracked versions are also available.

If you’ve downloaded a series of archive files (such as .rar), then I recommend downloading WinRAR (www.rarlab.com)to tackle them. Often, torrent downloads come in the form of many .RARs or *.R01, *.R02 etc. In either case, open with WinRAR, and extract the first file to a directory. This will use the rest of the files as necessary. Once extracted, you will probably end up with CD image files (e.g. *.ISO, *.MDF, *.CUE etc.) Some of these come in pairs - MDF is usually accompanied by and MDS file, for example. The above combination of programmes will almost certainly be able to mount one or the other of the two, with the same effect in each case. Once mounted, the install will run as it would from a disc, but the game itself will usually require a crack. This is sometimes provided with the game inside one of the CDs (My Computer -> right click CD Drive -> Open), but you may have to download one. I recommend MegaGames (www.megagames.com) - an easy-to-use and minimum-advertising site.

I hope this helps you all solve your problems. Any further queries, I check back here occasionally, so I’ll try to help! Good luck and happy gaming...

P.S. I do NOT endorse cracking software such as Nero and Alcohol 120%. I use legal versions, because most people don’t. The software they provide is powerful and expensive to maintain. As such, I would request that anybody who found this advice useful would at least consider buying their software. And no, they’re not paying me to say that.

another option is damon tools. Since you said you have it but don’t understand how to use it I’ll give you a short walk threw. If it’s not allready running (may have auto started with computer) run damon tools. You should see a new icon in the task bar, lower right corner next to clock (assuming you haven’t moved it). It will be a red lightning bolt in a grey circle in a red box. (colors may be different) right click it and select “virtual CD/DVD-rom” and a new menu will appear your should see a “device 0: [x:] No Media” (might also be f: or g: or any other of 26 letters depending on how your drives are orginized) if you don’t you’ll see “set number of devices” and under it you should select “1 drive” now that you definitly have it select the “device 0: [x:] No Media” and under it select “mount image” an open dialog will appear and you should select the .bin file (you may have to select view all files) hit open and it’s mounted. Your computer now thinks there is a CD-rom drive that isn’t really there complete a CD that is really a .bin file on your hard disk. You can open it and view and copy files or run your game from it. When your done go back and select unmount and you’ve (evectivly) taken the fake CD out of the fake drive. You can have up to 4 such drives each with a different .bin file when your done you can tell it to remove all fake drives or whatever you want, you should be able to figure that out without any dificulty now that your pointed in the right direction.

Thanks for letting me borrow that, Mike.

Hope these help.
