how to open .bin files

if you have a file named abc.bin

1. create a file named abc.cue
2. paste the following into abc.cue

FILE "abc.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

3. save the file

Now the abc.cue file can be opened with any ISO file reader such as Brasero, k3b, nero, etc.

* The cue files can be converted to ISO formats by bchunk like command line tools.

In ubuntu bchunk can be installed by $sudo apt-get install bchunk
e.g. bchunk abc.bin abc.cue myiso.iso

Once the iso is prepared, It can easily mounted using

sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop abc.iso /media/virtual
