I'm having trouble figuring out this bin thing

[tinklebuttt]

I downloaded tokimeiki memorial two. I got the file unzipped it and it has bin and cue files instead of an iso. I read all the faqs but I'm still confused as to what to do. do I have to change them to an iso file. I also downloaded daemon tools too because that seems importnat. please tell me what I'm doing wrong I desperately want to play this game.

What system is the game for?

In order to play that game on an emulator, you don't need to convert it to .iso, most emulators will still recognize it just fine. And normally, you don't need use daemon tools, ePSXe for example can load .bin files via the "Run ISO" option. Just browse and select the .bin file and it should run.

I've tried the run Iso option it just tells me there is an error when I load it. perhapse there is something wrong with the game its self

What is the full file extension? If it is a PSx game (especially if you got it from Emuparadise) it will probably be compressed further using ECM (so the file name will be "[Your ISO Here].bin.ecm"). You can uncompress it using the "UnECM" executable (just drag'n'drop your .bin.ecm over UnECM)

Download ECM Tools - Required if your file is of .ECM type and you need to convert to ISO/BIN/CUE. ECM is a special compression technique which allows better compression on CD images and thus saves on space as well as bandwidth! Learn more here.

Mac users please download command-line ECM tools from here.

Run the cue file.

Run the cue file.

This is assuming the .bin file he has isn't still compressed in .ecm format (as noted by Alakazander just above your post), in which case he would still have to extract it before playing.

[Mailmann006]

Right again. I am only going by what I have found as of late. If it was an ecm file, then by all means uncompress it. But... If you have a .bin and a .cue file, then go ahead and fire up that .cue. No offense to you guys, just trying to help.
