Burning BINs

[omega3175]

I know this shouldn't go on this website, but everyone here has helped me before, so I'll try again.

I have program data saved in a BIN file. I tried to open it with WINISO and save it as an ISO, then burn it. After burning the cd showed all of the normal files that should be there (as if they were never in the BIN). I then ran setup, but when I got halfway through the installation I got a "catostrophic" error. I also have a CUE file that came with the BIN file, but I have not used it for anything. So... I tried just to burn a data cd with only the BIN and the CUE, and after being burnt, all there was was the BIN and the CUE again. What am I missing?

Thanks.

How To Burn A BIN & .CUE File


You will need either Nero, CDRWIN or Fireburner to burn the file.

To burn with NERO:
Start NERO, choose FILE, choose BURN IMAGE, locate the .cue file you have and double click it. A dialog box will come up, for anything other than music make sure you choose DISC-AT-ONCE (DAO). You can also turn off the simulation burn if you so choose.
Then burn away.

To burn with CDRWin:
Start CDRWin, choose the button on the top left, choose LOAD CUESHEET, press START RECORDING.

To burn with Fireburner:
Start Fireburner, click on the button on the bottom left corner "VISUAL CUE BURNER/BINCHUNKER", press the right mouse button and choose LOAD TRACKS FROM .CUE and choose the correct .CUE file, press the right mouse button again and chooseselect "Burn/Test Burn", choose DISK AT ONCE (DAO), disable TEST BURN and MULTISESSION, press OK.

.CUE ERRORS
The most common error you will get with a .cue file is when it points to an incorrect path. This is easily fixed. Find the .bin file, copy the exact title including the .bin extension. Now find the .cue file, open the .cue file using notepad. It should look similar to this:

FILE "name of file.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 MODE2/2352
INDEX 00 00:04:00
INDEX 01 00:06:00

Delete everything in the quotes, in this case we would
delete name of file.bin. Now place the title you copied
in between the quotes. Save the changes and close out.
Thats it, your .cue file should work now.

OTHER WAYS TO USE .BIN & .CUE FILES

vcdgear:
This program will allow you to extract MPEG streams from CD images, convert VCD files to MPEG, correct MPEG errors, and more.

Daemon Tools:
This program creates a virtual drive on your PC which will allow you to "mount" the .cue file and use whatever is in the .bin file without having to burn it to a cd.

ISOBuster:
This program will allow you to "bust" open the .bin file and extract the files within the .bin.

I just tried it using Nero 5. After burning, my computer said that the cd was blank.

post the cue file contents (open in notepad)

[omega3175]

FILE "flt-vca.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

mount the cue/bin through daemon tools & do a disc to disc copy on the fly through Nero..

OK, I can burn the file to CD, but I can't seem to install it. Halfways through the installation I get the error:

Component Transfer Error X
------------------------------------
Component: GTA: Vice City
File Group:
File:
Error: Catostrophic Failure


I did some research and someone else had this error and heard it could be DirectX 9, but he was unable to resolve the situation...

Anybody have any ideas?
