bin/cue is type of image file file. use ultraiso / alcohol 120% to make image, mount in deamon tools http://www.ngemu.com/download.php?action=file&id=33 or use iso plugins several to choose from: http://www.ngemu.com/download.php?action=plugin&id=4 thats just one of them

[empTness]

pSX can directly use cue/bin image file
so it's not a big deal to mount the image or not

ultraiso or isobuster are good tools

bin/cue is and iso image, which is an image of a cd.

In simple words: a ISO is a cd copy to your HD, where you can acess the game on emulator without the CD.
I recommend CdrWin to make Cue/Bin.

how to create image using ultraiso

[RockmanForte]

CDRWIN is better. Use this instruction:

P.S. Just ignore about VCD. Just follow this! OK ?

ISOBUSTER is good only .. why ? --> A great program that will eve read disks that Windows won't read (ie. scratched discs). Use the Extract CD content-RAW command to create an image file (a .bin and .cue file).

I have made images with Alcohol 120%, and haven't had one yet that a Playstation could read but Alcohol couldn't.

As for a program being able to read disks that Windows won't (i.e. scratched disks), be careful! Many programs that make images "succeed" at reading scratched disks by ignoring the errors on the disk and copying the bad data into the image. This results in an image that you might be able to play for a while, but will eventually fail when you get to a certain part of the game. This is why so many pirated images on the 'Net contain bad data.

The way I got Alcohol 120% to make clean images of all my PS1 games was to set it to not ignore errors and retry reading as many times as possible. Alcohol, when it retries, will slow the disk down in order to have a better chance of reading clean data the next time. I also had to use a scratch removal kit (GameDoctor) on some used disks before Alcohol would give me a clean read. A couple had label-side scratches and therefore had to be thrown away (the data was actually scratched away, not just obscured).

Just download magiciso and use it to extract bin/cue image. or you can burn bin/cue image onto cd/dvd with magiciso. It works great.

Yes, read the FAQ here

[Zarggg]

Any particular reason why there is no support for the .ISO file format?
