    Default .cue isos Dreamcast

    I got some Dreamcast and PSX Isos, but after extracting I've got one .bin and one .cue file - no .cdi

    Does anyone now how to convert or burn them so I can play them on Dreamcast?
    Alcohol won't burn them, Nero does, but they aren't running afterall (if I didn't do anything wrong).

    After trying Bin2Boot there was also no effect, it says it can't create a file. It's version 0.1 beta and was within the game package.
    Exoboot says that the folders have no .bin file??????

    You can convert a BIN/CUE Dreamcast game to selfboot, but it's much easier to just download the Utopia Boot Disc

    Burn the boot disc, load it, wait till you see the raindeer spinning, swap discs, and wait till the game loads.

    like I said, if I burn it with Nero my Dreamcast can't read the disc - I allready tried Utopia but it won't work either.

    what I don't understand is that neither Exoboot nor Bin2boot open the .bin files.

    Utopia should be in CDI format which Nero doesn't support. Your best bet would be to get a trial version of Alcohol 120% and burn it that way. Use the slowest speed and burn in RAW DAO (Disc at Once) mode.

    What game is it?

    You can probably find another copy, one that's self-boot even, somewhere else.

    A couple of games, also the Emuparadise PSX Roms!
    What do I do with them? I can't burn them as well.

    Sounds like the cue sheet is wrong. And therefore not working. Right click on the .cue and open with notepad, and paste the contents here.

    Also: try renaming bin2boot.exe to 1.exe, or something. Then try again. Common error
