    Hi, I've checked out some of the other threads on bin and cue files but haven't found an answer to my problem. Not sure if anyone can help but here goes anyway! I recently downloaded a game and used winrar to extract it as you do, I then found that it was in bin and cue format so I used Daemon344 and installed the game using the virtual drive. However when I go to play the game, which is on 2 cds, it gives me the following error message: Cannot locate the CD-ROM
    "Please insert the correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart application"
    Neither CD works when using the virtual drive, either way round. I really want this game just to sit on my harddrive and I'm also reluctant to burn now seeing as I cant get it to work on my harddrive. Perhaps the cracked serial number I used was wrong? maybe the file is corrupt? or maybe Im just a muppet?? Either way I cant get the damn thing to work. Any ideas people?
    Cheers!!

    In case you didn't read the forum rules, no discussion of piracy, chief :)

    No worries, chief :) Thought you were being a smarty-pants.

    Trying to get DL'ed games to run is a hit or miss prospect. I'd say you got a bad one.

    Determine the cd protection and enable emulation using Daemon Tools m8. Be sure that you mount the play disc. If the pc game is SecuROM cd protected then you try making a backup using the latest BlindWrite 5 (VSO) software. SecuROM 4.85& up are difficult to backup but I managed to defeat with Blindwrite 4.5.7. You can use a handy tool called Protection CD Scanner and determine the cd protection by loading the main game exe after install. <-- Google up

    This is piracy m8.
