Bin file is a binary image of a CD or DVD just as an ISO file. Normally, a Bin file accompanied with a Cue file to open, edit or extract Bin data directly on computer with the help of any tool such as Daemon, Mame or Microsoft WinXP Virtual CD Control Panel.
Some time, when you download files from different internet resources or torrents those are available in Bin format. In some situation Bin file doesn’t work alone without Cue file. So if you lost the Cue file or deleted accidentally here we write the method to create a Cue file for a Bin file.
Create a Cue File for Bin File
Step 1
Create a new text file and copy/past the following text in that file
FILE “abc.bin” BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
where abc.bin = YourBinFileName.bin
Step 2
Save the text file with the same name as your Bin file and set its extension .cue
All done now you can use bin file with the help of cue. If you still have any question, leave comments below.

I want to say - thank you for Cue file help!
You save my day, unfortunately i deleted cue file
Cue without bin is useless :P
yes bin file without cue is impossible
i still cant open the bin file
What error are you getting when you open Bin file
same here i also cant open
Thanks for your help.
I gave it the .cue extension but now i get both .cue and .txt extensions. What to do?
Open notepad paste the given code in it and save the text file as binfilename.cue
Don't rename the file extension after saving as text, you may have hidden the file extension.
If I have two disks and I've alrady mounted the first, but the second won't mount, is it the same?
btw it's for a game and the second .img file isn't mounting or it isn't working for some reason
thanx
even after following this step by step it says "Can't convert codeset to 'ANSI_X3.4-1968'
HELP?!?!
