Manny people wonder what .bin files are for. But really .bin files alone are not for something specific. They are basically general use binary files used in various application. The most 2 popular usages are image burning and video game emulation.

.ShareReactor? Never heard of that one. You probably need a special program for those, try to stick with iso's and bins since they're more universal. Nero can open .bin files and burn them.

For .bin files, make sure you have the corresponding .cue file

Sharereactor, btw, is a website that distributes EDonkey (and bittorrent?) files.

You do if you don't have Alcohol 52% (isn't a too complicated program, but it's just simpler to burn a disc)

Follow these instructions here for nero:

Hmm it should be at least a few 100MB at least, and usually games will be over 300 so chances are you got a bad download or something.

Yeah, 1.4 mb is a bit small for a CD-Image laugh.gif
For highly illegal stuff like this, try looking into BitTorrent: it lets you resume your download and it checks the download to see if it's valid.

Yeah usually. I've actually seen some bigger then 750MB and you need to use some special measures so it actually fits on a CD.

what i do with an iso file type, to start playin a game??

Well, you can either burn it to a disk and then install the game from that, or you can use a program like Alcohol 52% ( http://www.alcohol-soft.com/ ) that can read the the ISO's from your hard drive using a virtual drive.

I never tried this so I could be wrong, but try this:

In a file that you name with an extension of .cue
CODE

FILE "IMAGE.BIN" BINARY

TRACK 01 MODE1/2352

INDEX 01 00:00:00

I don't recall myself burning an image with a bin file but from what I do know, you just need to select the .cue file and if the .bin is in the right path it will burn it from that point on.

Well, no problem I just found the original Sonic today.

Man, I was playing 2 and I got extremely far.

I could help you reach 1000 smilies. I have a few I created, I could make some. Maybe a smaller version of the RIAA bomber? smile.gif
