How to Open a Bin File in Daemon
Daemon Tools is a disc emulation program that allows the creation of virtual CD/DVD drives that can be used to mount and run image files, like BIN files, as if they were physical discs. The BIN file is generally one half of a two file package known as a BIN/CUE. The BIN file contains the data, while the CUE contains a tracklist or other structural information.
