It is recommended by the PSIO creators that you rip your games using the Redump method (or use existing Redump rips… provided you already own a legitimate copy of the game of course).
Currently PSIO will only work with rips that have one .cue file and one .bin file, but a lot of games ripped using the Redump method have multiple .bin files. These are usually games that use CDDA audio where each audio track is stored as a separate .bin file. This means you will have at least two .bin files – one .bin for the game’s executable and one or more .bin file for each CDDA audio track.
A good example of this is the PAL version of Tomb Raider which has; “Tomb Raider (Europe) (Track 01).bin”, “Tomb Raider (Europe) (Track 02).bin”, “Tomb Raider (Europe) (Track 03).bin” …all the way up to; “Tomb Raider (Europe) (Track 57).bin”.
Oct 13, 2017 This program can convert a bunch of different file types, including 7Z, DAA, DMG, RAR, XAR, etc. It can also take any CD/DVD/Blu-ray and convert that to an ISO or BIN/CUE image. In addition, it can take any folder and create an ISO image from that. Dec 03, 2020 If it can find an img, iso, bin, or cue in the archive, it will unpack it and convert the files to a PBP. It also supports multi-disc PBPs. Create a.M3U file containing the file names of the images, and use that as an input file to the converter. It can also take multi-track CUE sheets in the M3U. Extracting PBPs will generate a BIN+CUE.
These rips will usually work fine on an emulator (or when burned to disc) as the program – with a little help from the .cue file – will “stitch” everything together on the fly. Unfortunately however PSIO does not support this.
Utorrent mac os x. So, what happens if your rip has more than one .bin file?
Well with this little guide you will soon be able to quickly and easily convert rips with multiple .bin files into rips with single .bin files – and best of all it won’t cost you a single penny!
Now I mentioned Tomb Raider above as a good example but for this tutorial I’m going to use Dino Crisis instead as I will be using that game in the next tutorial; patching a game to remove LibCrypt protection (coming soon!). The following steps are exactly the same for any game with multiple .bin files however…
First of all you will need some software. The software I’m going to be using is 100% free and legal – no hacks, no cracks and no nasty ‘activation’ programs that may or may not be viruses! You’re going to need the following:
1) Daemon Tools Lite – Whilst Daemon Tools is premium software they offer a free to use ‘lite’ version that has limited functionality compared to the premium version. For what we need it for though the free ‘lite’ version is absolutely fine (though of course do consider supporting the people that make this awesome piece of software by buying the premium version if you find it useful).
2) ImgBurn – This is a free, open source disc burning program. If you’re thinking you already have a different burning program so you may as well use that instead then think again – some other programs use different methods and will not yield correct results. Prime examples being Nero and Alcohol 120%. If you want to use a different program then fine but just be aware your mileage may vary.
Okay so now that you’ve downloaded and installed Daemon Tools Lite and ImgBurn it’s time to get started…
Fire up Daemon Tools and click on the ‘Quick Mount’ button on the bottom left of the window, then navigate to the directory containing your game rip and choose to mount the .cue file (NOT any of the .bin files).
Your image should now be mounted inside a virtual CD/DVD ROM drive (which should have been assigned a drive letter by Windows – note this letter down as we’ll need it in a minute) just as if you’d put an actual disc in an actual disc drive.

Once your image is mounted leave Dameon Tools running and open up ImgBurn. Select the option ‘Create image file from disk’.
On the next screen change the source drop-down box to the drive containing your mounted image (denoted by the drive letter you noted down earlier) then select a destination for the output image in the next box down (I usually create a new folder on my desktop for this but you can put it anywhere you like it doesn’t really matter).

In my example I’ve changed the name from the default “SLES_02207” to “Dino Crisis (Europe)” instead. I’ve also changed the “Read Speed” setting on the bottom right to 1x for better compatibility but this is optional.
Now hit the button to start the process (the disc icon with the blue arrow next to it at the bottom left of the window), sit back, relax and wait for the process to finish. On modest hardware this shouldn’t take more than a few minutes, and likely considerably less than that on most modern computers.
Once finished you should be presented with a window saying “Operation Successfully Completed!”.
Now if you look in your destination folder you should see a single .bin and .cue file. That’s it – you’re all done and if all went well PSIO should happily boot your game.
Continue to the next tutorial (coming soon!) to learn how to patch games that use LibCrypt protection to get them working with PSIO.
BIN files is one of CD / DVD image formats. BIN file is a binary copy of an entire CDs / DVDs disc. BIN file contain ALL the data stored on the original disc including not only its files and folders but also its system-specifics information, for examples, bootable information, volume, volume attributes and any other system-specific data. A .BIN image file is not a collection of files or folders but is an exact duplicate of the raw data of the original disc, sector by sector. PowerISO can convert bin file to standard iso file.
PowerISO is also a BIN converter. It allow the users to open, edit, convert, and extract bin files. To convert bin / cue file to ISO, please follow the steps,
Run PowerISO.
Choose 'Tools > Convert..' Menu.
PowerISO shows Image Converter dialog.
Choose the source bin file you want to convert. You can also select the cue file.
Set the output file format to iso file.
Enter the output file path name.
Click 'OK' button to start converting bin file to iso. PowerISO will show the progress information during conversion.
After the bin file has been converted successfully, you should receive a message, 'Converting image file completes successfully'.
