Sorry, but I've never seen a legitimate game be distributed as a bin/cue combo, and .gba files are GameBoy Advance ROM dumps which are generally illegal.

The rules of the forums here prohibit assisting with people using pirated software.

I will just give this one little generic nugget. Check Craigslist and Freecycle to get your hands on an old PII or P3 system that is running an old DOS based version of Windows like Win98. Use that for your old games, and the other system for everything else.

Sorry but no game maker today distributes games in bin and cue form.

Please seek help from where you got those files.
