Default Opening a .bin file... How?

Well, Probably Ecniv will reply cause I see he helped another guy with a .bin and .cue problem for burning but I don't want to burn...I got this file "Sim City 4" CD1 and CD2 on my PC and their both Bin files! Now, I have lost my MSDos knowledge from way back when that Dos is what I played all my games in...now I lost all the knowledge for dos to install a .bin right from there!

My Question...

How Can I Install These 2 Files? (CD1 and CD2) ... Do I need to use MSDos? If so...whats the Commands?

Little Info: WinISO Didn't Work

You need a .cue in order to burn these. Just make a text file in notepad that contains the following:

FILE "SC4CD1.BIN" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

Make a separate one for each .bin replacing SC4CD1.BIN with the names of your .bin files. Save it as a .cue file, and use Nero or your favorite burning program to burn (in Nero go file>burn image, browse to the bin/cue files, and pick the one you want to burn)

Yea, but he said he didnt wanna burn.

You have one of 2 options to install it without burning. The first is to get ISObuster and extract the files from that.

But the on I would use is a program called Daemon Tools. Search for it on google, its a free download. Install it and it will let you mount that bin file as a Virtual CDrom drive.

Duh! Good thing I can read

Actually, you don't even need to extract with ISObuster. If you make the .cue files as above, Daemon Tools can mount the .bin files.

Just go to the daemon tools program, choose unmount all, and then mount CD2. Whala!

All well...it worked installing it but 3 files were corrupt...probably the bin file itself and it can't run! All that hard work for nodda!

I hate when that happens.. I also hate when you are on IRC and someone says they have something and you DL it and its not what its suppose to be.

You may need the No-CD for the game.

BTW...this topic is 10 months old!
