.CUE/.BIN Installs

[Kazimierz]

I have 3 cds in .cue/.bin format on my computer. Is there a way to run them without burning them to disk?

[Ekac]

I've always found cue/bin formats to be similar to a winrar archive. Didn't know they could be burned to disc. Usually I use VCDGear.

Converts .cue files into mpeg or whatever.

can mount them with Daemon tools right? As virtual CD Roms

Actually, i solved it myself, so if anyone else is wondering, here goes:

I used Alcohol 120%, but you can use anything that can make a virtual drive. It's really easy, you just make X: or something a virtual drive, and you can load your .cue/.bin files "onto" that drive, so the computer thinks that at X: There is the CD that would be made from your files. Then you just run X:\setup.exe or whatever.

Daemon tools is the same way. Good program.

I use Daemon Tools and it works well for me. It emulates copy protection schemes as well, although Alcohol 120 probably has that too.
