How to use a cd-image in .BIN file format?
You've just downloaded a CD-image in a BIN file format of your favorite game/software. What should you do with it now? It seems that none of the programs can read it.
The way to burn it or extract it is to create a CUE file that most of the burning/virtual drive tools know how to use.
Create a text file that is named exactly like your BIN file only with a CUE extension. Insert the next 3 lines to the file:
FILE "BinFilename.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
Save the file (remember it should have the CUE extension).
Now, any software that reads cd-iso-images, like Nero, Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120%, will be able to read the CUE file and burn/extract it.
Enjoy!

Not for noobs, but, you can just rename the extension to .ISO, and most often that is all that is required to access it.

Or you can just go to burn/mount like normal and choose "All Files" in the files of type drop down, and select the bin file...
