How do I Open or Mount a Bin File Without a Cue File?

You downloaded a CD image in a bin format. However, nothing will read it. Here’s what you do.

You just downloaded the latest, baddest program from some torrent somewhere. However, it’s just a bunch of bin files. You realize these are CD images or ISOs but you don’t know how to run them.

You just create a text file that is named the exact same thing as your bin file except with a cue extension. In this text file you need this information:

      FILE “yourbinfilenamehere.bin” BINARY
      TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
      INDEX 01 00:00:00

Step-by-step:

      Say you have a file called gameiso.bin

      1. Right click on a blank space in the same folder
      2. Select new text document
      3. Double click to open your New Text Document.txt
      4. Paste this into the file:
      FILE "gameiso.bin" BINARY
      TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
      INDEX 01 00:00:00

      Make sure you edit gameiso.bin to the exact name of your bin file.

      5. Click File menu
      6. Click Save
      7. Click the Red X to close it
      8. Right click the New Text Document.txt and select Rename
      9. Rename it like your bin file except with a cue extension:
      [gameiso.cue

10. Now any program that can read CD-rom, ISOs (nero, alcohol, etc) should be ready to read the file.
