    Ive dl'd a few movies l8ly, inside th folders are msinfo docs, cd rom image file and a 1kb cue which opens with notepad. Now im using Nero startsmart, ive gone to burn the cue file but i get an error, also if i try to burn the image i get a box that come sup saying unexpected file format. Ive extracted 1 of the films with WinISO and some1 mentioned to me burning the mpeg data file as a SVCD copy, tried that and nothing comes up on my dvd player except the length of the film, any ideas for this n00ble?
    When i try to burn the cue file i get this : cannot open the file C:\FAT-SA~1.BIN

    I downloaded a Max Payne 2 game and am new at burning cue/bin games (First time). I first extracted everything, then burned the 2 Cd Bin files. Everything went fine, then I installed th game. Now I go to play it and it says "Wrong Cd." On the NFO document that came with the game it says a small detailed procedure...

    Install Notes:
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    1) Unrar with WinRAR.
    2) Burn the .cue and .bin with Nero Burning Rom software.
    3) Install the game.
    4) Copy over the cracked game .exe file from CD2.
    5) And then play :)

    Well, I don't understand step 4!!!!!!!!
    Please Help me.
    If it's due to compy right protection just say.

    Put the cd2 back into the drive, now right click it and explore, there should be a folder that says crack, look in that and there should be an exe, copy it then find your max payne folder in programmes. Go into that and paste that exe in the foldeer, itll ask u if you want to overwrite a bigger file, say yes to all.

    First of all - wot a brilliant site!!
    Secondly, a bit of advice please.
    I have cdimages of The Sims and have managed to burn it to disk. It installed ok (after entering the number from a text file included in the d/l).
    So far, so good.
    When I come to play the game however, it states it cannot find the CD in the drive.
    There was included in the d/l the aforementioned text file, a CCD Image(772 bytes),a CUE file (79 bytes), an IMG Image (561 MB) and a SUB file (22.9MB)
    Can anybody help?

    If you've got a series of files with extentions like 001, 002, 003 or perhaps part01, part02, part03 or somthing like that and you're wondering what to do: (1) Open any of those files manually with WinRAR (it doesnt matter which one) by dragging and dropping them onto WinRAR. (2) Select all the files and extract them somewhere, you may be extracting another set of 001, 002, 003, etc files or you may be extracting a BIN/CUE file. If you are extracting the former, then just repeat this process until you get a BIN/CUE file or soemthing you are expecting. (3) When you've got the BIN/CUE, burn it using Nero or something like that and you're done!

    Please keep this thread for more general cdimage questions . What you need to do is:
    1. Determine the protection scheme on The Sims http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/47284

    If you need to burn a SafeDisc2 protected game the major consideration is the drive doing the copy; certain drives have certain characteristics that give them an easier time to perform SafeDisc2 copies than others. Such drives are described as being 2-sheep burners. Drives not quite up to the task (however capable of), are described as 1-sheep burners and heaven forbid, 0-sheep burners. So the first thing you need to do is to find out what make/model your burner is and if it is a 2-sheep burner or not. To determine your make and model of your optical drives; if you happen to have Nero Infotools installed, start it up and under the Drive tab, it will list all the relevant specifications and capabilities of your burner. The actual name of your burner is listed in the drop-down box at the top (those numbers before the name of your burner are important too!). You can get InfoTools from http://www.cd-rw.org/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/nero_info_tool.cfm Once you have determined tha name of the burner, head on over to http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/45121 to see if that burner is listed there or not. If it is listed there, it is a 2-sheep burner; if it is not listed there it is not neccesarily a 2-sheep burner but highly unlikely. Now if you have a 2-sheep burner head on over to http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/23699 to find out how to copy a SafeDisc2 protected game. If you are running a 1-sheeper than visit http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/36444 for the appropriate guide.

    2. Dont tell us you downloaded stuff (piracy rules).

    Actually I had a brain fair and wrote too much. The SIMS is an EA game and it will be SafeDisc2 protected.

    Hi I've read the last 17 pages or so of the thread and have tried most of the methods listed. Here is my problem. I have a .bin file and a .cue file, the .bin file is 790 megs and it says that the .bin file is 122 bytes and 4 kb on disk. So I can't burn it on a normal disk, altho I have tried a lot of the methods here. When i try to virtual mount it in alcohol120 it says "Cue sheet: Line 1: File command must appear before other commands", I tried to open the cue file with notepad but it just shows a bunch of garbage. I should say that the download process is not over but since the file is divided up into four.bin's and four.cues, it shudnt be a problem shud it? Thanks for your help.

    Hi

    ive downloaded a copy of star wars knights of the old republic cd 1 and 2 but its just a standard .exe file, not .bin.exe and both are only about 115mb.
    does this mean they are compressed or can i just put them into bin format? if so how do i find out if it need to go into bin or iso format? if it is only 115mb does it need to be decompressed in some way?
    thanks alot for ur time

    Praetor: Serenity now, Serenity now! haha ;).

    Bourne: Sounds like its a ripped version of the program meaning stuff was taken out. Run the exe file for cd 1 and see if it starts to install or not. You could also try opening it with winrar first to see if its a compressed exe. Either way, if its a working rip, you should be able to run the exe and that should install the game.

    Ginsu: Okay, make sure you have all the rar files in the same directory (x.r00, x.r01 etc). Without all the files, you cannot extract the archive. You must be missing some of the files, or dont have all the files in the same folder, etc. If its a game cd its usually alot of files.

    Nope it just brings a dos box if i run it. if i convert it to .rar or .zip winrar cant open it and if i change it to .bin i get a blank cd when i write the .cue as an image. i cant get any other type of file either they all seem to be about 115mb .exe's. is there a good place to get .cue and .bin's other than kazaa?

    Smackstuh: If your bin/cue files are not corrupted, then you should be able to burn them (assuming they are real files). Look through this thread, reread the explanations for burning a bin/cue file as an image and then see if the cd came out ok. If not, then its probably either corrupted, or not complete in some way. As for 4 bin/cue's, be more specific, are you saying you have 4 cd's or what?

    Well, I did figure out how to burn it, but in its stead I also found this cool bit of software that allows you to play .bin files directly from your desk without burning nething. Thanks for you help tho.

    Hi all!

    I got tired of writing my own cue files so I created a simple yet useful little tool that does the job.
    I call it [bold]Cueator[/bold], and it's user friendly ;)

    I just want to share it, so if anyone is interested:
