(How) Can i open A BIN file

[burna3000]

Is it possibe to do this?
Its a downloaded file, yet am unable to open it unless 'windows knows which file created it'
Any advice?

You can mount it as a virtual drive using daemon tools.

If its a VCD or SVCD and you just want to play it I've found that the FLC (Video Lan) can usually play them without mounting them. If you want the files out then Dtool all the way as Craig Tucker suggested.

Thanks for ya replies-
could you just explain exactly what i need to do to get it up & running ?

If its any help, the file is gran theft auto (pc game) and there are several different files relating to it- namely:
* 4 separate files consisiting of the 2 CD content, one a BIN file, the other a CUE file
*Grand Theft Auto 3.CRACKFIX.REPACK.DEViANCE.ShareReactor, a MS Info document and also in winrar format

All i wanna do is play the damn game, can you tell me how to easily do this pls

use nero to burn each cd.

select to burn image, browse to the cue file1 and hit go. repeat for second disc (cue file2)and your done.

[burna3000]

Ok, so do i just burn the cue file, and nothing else?
each one on a separate disk?

[Treebeard]

use the wizard and select new cd- image, when it pops up the browser window you will have to find your cue file hit open. then click burn,

the cue file is actually just a couple lines of information regarding the bin file, it lists location and track information. when you do this its actually burning the bin file but uses the cue for the information.

make sense?

Treebeard- thanks for ya advice, i've managed to burn the CUE files to 2 CD-r's. and installed the game
Prob is that when i try the load the game up , i get a message window saying ' please eject and re-insert the CD-ROM, select OK and restart application.'
But when i do so, i get the same message
Which CD-ROM is it refering to, the 1st or 2nd one?.
I only used the 1st one to install, as when i load the 2nd disk, nothing happens
any advice?

the error that you are getting is more likely to be an anti copying software which came with the cd (not an error u made), for learning how to copy pc games, go to www.google.com and search for a more appropriate website.

i cant help but wonder why your downloaded Vice City, if you downloaded it legally you already had the original, but wouldn't it have been easier to make a backup from your original?

purly out of interest, do you know the meaning of the words "no warez"???
