hi,
anyone know if it's possible to burn games to dvd disk?
i've downloaded a few .bin, .cue files for games and i'm using MagicISO. however, i only have dvd disks, and i really dont want to go out and buy any more cd-roms as ive just spent a fortune on my new dvd's.

or, alternatively, could i put the files onto my computer so they act like a disk?

thanks in advance

The forum rules forbid you from asking questions about pirate software.

sorry, maybe i wasn't clear enough.

the games i'm talking about are my own

2 things i want to do, first is to be able to run my games from my pc, i was told i had to have a .cue file for them, so i downloaded those files from the internet.

secondly, i wan't to know if i can put the games i have on dvd, ie, have 2 or 3 games on the 1 disk

hope this clears up any misunderstanding

Depends on the specific game. Some games can detect if the disc is original or not. And if you create folders for each program, the game won't be able to find them when needed. For instance the program is running and wants to play the file "video" which is supposed to be D:/video. It won't find it if the file is D:/GameName/Video.

Best Luck,
Bob

look for a tool on the net called "Damen Tools" or "Damon" it allows you to play games without always switching cd's

daemon tools is great
it will give you 4 virtual cd rom drives
all you have to do is go into the program and "mount" the image files of your games onto these virtual cdrom drives
but im not sure if it can play back .cue and .bin like you have
you can check on the site

here
