Playing .Bin Files

[-Skeme-]

For video games. How do I do this? Downloaded Doom 3, what do I use?

Burn it onto a CD-R with Ahead's Nero Burning ROM. I'm sure if you can find a download of Doom 3, you can find a free version of Nero.

I have Nero. What do I do once it's burned? It'll just automatically run? Also, it's 3 files, and nearly 2gb. Do I burn the 3 files individually on a blank CDR or burn all 3 onto a DVD as a Data Disc? Thanks.

Thanks for the links. Downloading MAME right now, will see what happens.

Burn it as an ISO. You should have .cue files with every .bin. If not, post and I'll send you a PM to get a way to send you some .cue files. You open the .cue with Nero and then just burn. Yes, you need to burn one disc for each .bin. Doom 3 turns out to be 3 discs...not that I have 3 burned CDs that say Doom 3 - 1, Doom 3 -2, Doom 3 - 3 on my desk right now.

I have no .cue files, just 3 .bin files.

get daemon tools, it should be able to mount that .bin file as a virtual CD rom, should be able to use it right off the HDD, and it will be faster too

also, there is a "Computer techinical help" forum now

I tried, it says it's missing driver crap or something. Warsaw is helping me now. I just burned all of the files wrong or something, meh. This game better be good.

You need Daemon Tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/index.php)

Mount it > install > unmount > play.

btw, doom 3 sucks.

Doom 3 is dope, you're just an idiot.
