Play .bin files

Jun 10, 2008 5:05AM PDT

I downloaded a game as a torrent and it was in the form of 2 .bin files.

I couldnt do anything with it so I downloaded Daemon Tools Lite to try to convert it.

I have no idea how to do it - can anyone give me a hand?

All we can say: ...

ask the maker. Bin is short for binary, and can be everything. But I'm afraid you can't explect much support.

I assume you didn't pay for it, so you won't lose any money by simply throwing it away.

An ISO Program Will Help

I'm thinking that an ISO program like PowerISO or MagicISO would serve you well. The .bin format is simply another archive format and both of these suggested programs will recognize .bin files.

Good luck...
