How do I Open or Mount a Bin File Without a Cue File ?
by Gabi SolomonYou downloaded a CD image in a bin format. However, nothing will read it. Here’s what you do.
You just downloaded the latest, baddest program from some torrent somewhere. However, it’s just a bunch of bin files. You realize these are CD images or ISOs… but you don’t know how to run them.
You just create a text file that is named the exact same thing as your bin file except with a cue extension. In this text file you need this information:
FILE “yourbinfilenamehere.bin” BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
Step-by-step:
Say you have a file called gameiso.bin
1. Right click on a blank space in the same folder
2. Select new text document
3. Double click to open your New Text Document.txt
4. Paste this into the file:
FILE “gameiso.bin” BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
Make sure you edit gameiso.bin to the exact name of your bin file.
5. Click File menu
6. Click Save
7. Click the Red X to close it
8. Right click the New Text Document.txt and select Rename
9. Rename it like your bin file except with a cue extension:
gameiso.cue
10. Now any program that can read CD-rom ISOs (nero, alcohol, etc) should be ready to read the file.
