    Sorry Mcnick1 - looks like you've "slipped through the net" here and we've missed you. However, I think you haven't received an answer because there isn't one! BIN files are not supported by any standard Windows application as they don't hold data that a user would need to read.

    What is it that you're trying to get into?

    Well, could go about copyright and stuff and downloading games for a while but who would care hehe

    Did u download the corresponding .cue file also ?

    A .bin file is nothing but a CD image created by some software like CDRwin.
    To burn it u would normally need the corresponding .cue file which holds information about tracks/start/length etc. If u dont have that u still can use a program called WinISO (do a google search) and convert the .bin file into a .iso file which can be happily burnt with Nero for example

    Blimey, that went right over the top of my head. As a D-A-L Moderator, I know absolutely nothing about pirate games.

    ............Aren't they the ones where you have to capture a ship containing gold and stuff, lol
