Answer» What program do i need to open a .BIN file?What OS do you use?
Bin files, unlike other files such as .exe, .wpd, .doc, .xls etc don't have an actual program used to open them specifically. A .bin file is sort of a universal file for binary file. So it can be anything from a rom for an emulator, to image/sound data for a game.
There are a few widely used utilizations for .bin files. One of them is CD images. It is similar to an ISO image. Usually a .bin file will also require a .CUE file that goes with it. Programs such as Alcohol 120%, ISO Buster, Nero (etc) can open these. The cue file is usually very simple and can be created by entering the following in a .cue file.

So Here is a program who can open it.

Its a CD Image. Im running XP student media. I have nero. But nothing seems to be working Now we have some info but please give us some more like when did it start, are you able to open other BIN files, where you EVER able to open BIN files,...
Did you try Alcohol?
Jonas No, Alcohol 120% is the same as Nero it seems. Last night the CD image of the game im DLing finished and this MORNING i tried to open it ...and couldnt ... and couldnt find a program to do it and like a dummy and accidently deleted it b/c i couldnt find the actual "game" file i guess but i guess the .BIN file was it. lol. Im re-DLing it. Im new to DLing games. so bare with me. lol. I know why i cant open it right now (b/c its not done DLing). but once it gets done is what im looking for. In the folder. it also has a system file. what do i need to do with that? It also has an application it looks like called "VCdControlTool". idk what that is either. lol
thnx in advance.if you want to use nero, if i remember correctly, you also need the cue file.Well. this morning i seen a .cue file in the folder too. that must go in after the thing gets done DLing b/c its not in there yet and im DLing the same exact thing. lol. im so confused about this. lol. So once i get the thing DLed completely (again). what exactly do i need to do? (lets use Nero). what do i do with the cue file ..and what do i do with the bin file...and the system file..lol In case you are interested, you can play it the movie on the computer with VLC media PLAYER. its a game though. its not a movieQuote from: zanter8 on June 18, 2007, 07:55:05 AM Well. this morning i seen a .cue file in the folder too. that must go in after the thing gets done DLing b/c its not in there yet and im DLing the same exact thing. lol. im so confused about this. lol.

Ah, my bad.
Anyways, you can play .bin movie files with VLC.....thanks ghostdog. I think ive figured it out. i have one more ? ... if i dont want to burn it to a CD (which i probably will). How would i run the game?if this is any help. i have nero express 6Quote from: zanter8 on June 18, 2007, 08:19:40 AMthanks ghostdog.

you have to find a way to extract the CONTENTS of bin out and then play it... just burn it to a CD and run your game, settles it all.ok, do i need to put the bin file on the CD or just the cue?
