How Do I Burn Bin/cue Files?

[YoungHov]

I got the original release of fur fighters and it's in bin/cue format. How do I burn bin/cue.I have nero 5.5, Alcohol 120%, discjuggler, and clone cd 4.If anyone replies can you tell me how burn it step by step.Thanks in advance.

Use Alcohol, select the cue file and burn in RAW/DAO mode, that's it really. Remember it will need a boot disc to play.

not all the time, some of them are self boot

Huh? I've never seen an autoboot image in BIN/CUE format. The only way would be if the CUE sheet was offset appropriately (probably using cdirip). You can burn it with CDRWIN. Click the last icon on the left top row and then choose Load Cuesheet. You should then select burn. You can burn it with Nero also (don't know how since I don't use Nero that much). If you want to be autoboot (if it's not), just grab bin2boot from MegaGames in the Dreamcast utilities section. If it has external CDDA, you'll need to grab another bin2boot. I have that version if you need it. If the CDDA is in the BIN file, you can use binchunker and then the CDDA bin2boot (if you set up the CUE correctly).

ok thanks everyone.

Just so you know, the reason groups like echelon and kalisto never released bin/cue selfboots (diskjugger instead) is that the bin/cue format can't handle the funky layout of selfboot cds. If you find a bin/cue dreamcast iso, you can be assured that it is not self booting.

ive seen some homebrew Bin/Cue that selfboots, weird apps an crap though, not games.

The only way to burn (that I can think of) would be using FireBurner rather than CDRWin. I'm not positive, though.

[Shibathedog]

Alchohol works too

[StriderSkorpion]

Does it support loading multiple CUE sheet files? I don't know how the autoboot BIN/CUE files you've seen worked, but from what I know about CDIRip, you could either get one CUE sheet (for the audio track) or two. In the CDIRip documentation it says that CDRWin doesn't support burning ISOs like that, but FireBurner does. BTW, Shiba, what did your autoboot BIN/CUE files look like?

[Shibathedog]

what you mean the contents? Theres 2 data tracks, and audio track, another data track, and then like six more audio tracks, its really weird

[StriderSkorpion]

Hmm, that's weird. I was just wondering about the layout. I know CDIRip creates an ISO with the correct LBA offset and it rips the audio track separate. The audio track is the only one with a CUE sheet unless otherwise specified. In the readme, IIRC, it says that FireBurner (maybe others too), but not CDRWin support the loading of two CUE sheets. I was just wondering if it had two or more CUE sheets, or if it was in one file. IIRC, CDRWin doesn't support ripping or burning multiple sessions, so the image you described sounds weird for autoboot.

[Shibathedog]

yep, its actually an MP3 player...and it sucks...and its really old, and seems to randomly decide which tracks on the CD it will play and which ones will be determined "unplayable or incompatible file format"

 

Its microwave-type-doom is near...

[StriderSkorpion]

Heh, that's always fun. Sucks about how it works though. I don't need my DC for MP3s (PC neither). I have a CD/MP3 player (walkman and stereo ). I don't personally need those huge ones (>700MB) since regular CD-R/W work just fine for my collection.

i want one of those DVD Audio players, then i could just throw all my music on 3 or 4 DVDs and im done, plus the track names and stuff would show up (I have enough music for almost 3 weeks of constant music, imagine if i had a DVD Audio changer!! i could have music playing all the time!!)
