.bin files ??

[L_Plates]

What opens .bin files ?

And what are they.

 

[babs]

lots of different types. Most common is a CD image, and is normally associated with a .cue file to tell the CD writing app what mode to write it in. You can force some software to write without a .cue if you know what mode to use etc.

.bin is also the extension for AVG virus updates, IIRC.

i think its a binary file...


BIOS updates are .BINs

 

[L_Plates]

so i open it how ?

 

[Krazeh]

How big is the file?

 

[MYstIC G]

Nero Burning Rom is probably your easiest & best bet. Though it does cost.

700 meg

If you only have the .bin file, most of the time it is possible to mount it on your pc in say alcohol 120% or Daemon tools. Then just copy the cd as you would normally copy a cd but from the virtual drive you just mounted it on. If there is a .cue file with it, use alcohol 120% to burn it as i think its the best cd burning app available. Just select the cue in alcohol and it will do the rest. Im assuming its not a bios file as 700 meg is pretty standard in norty game images per disc. And it would be a rather large bios file too

it's not just warez which use that filetype redvenom. I've downloaded a linux distro from sun before now as cue/bin. The only thing you're highlighting is your own knowledge of common warez-y file formattage.

ROFL Leggy Its ok He will soon be banned again and we can have a good mature place again.

Anyway these bin files, do they always need a cue file?

 

[SoWat]

I seem to recall that one can rename the extension to 'iso' and just treat them as a normal iso image (i.e. use isobuster to read them or Nero etc, to burn them).

I'm sure I've done this in the past.
