.Rar.... .bin... .cue i still can't figure it out!

What's up guys,

Well my friend sent me a copy of his game, but he sent it in 4 .Rar files, each .rar file has like another 20 .rar files in it.. He mentioned that I need to extract the cue/bin file then burn that file. Is the cue/bin file in 1 of the 4 .rar files?... is there more than 1 cue/bin file in 1 game?
Also I have Neroburner how would I go about putting that bin/cue file to burn onto a 80min/700mb CD-R?

I wish I lived closer to my friend, I'd just grab the game and make a simple copy but he said this was the only way he could send the game to me. Can anyone help me?.. And no I really dont support piracy so please dont judge me :)

And no I really dont support piracy so please dont judge me :)Definitely an interesting comment! If caught, someone, perhaps a group of 12 would be instructed to render judgement.

I would hope in the meantime that your conscience would pass judgement if you're doing something that you know is illegal...;)

i wonder why schools dont get crap, since they make endless copies of $400+ software... so what makes them any better than I?.. I'm sure teachers or and staff tend to make theirselves a copy of each program they can get their hands on. Anyways, would anyone like to help me on what exactly is needed to be done to get the game playable off of a CD-R? (PM or Email would be best I believe)

You posit an interesting question, for sure! The fallacy of the argument is to begin with the premise that you may personally know a couple of individuals who are stealing software...and jump the conclusion that "every one does it!"

Not everyone does steal. I would suspect that if either of us were a billionaire, sending off $400 would be not much more than the price of a cup of coffee...

$400 is, however, a lot of money to most folks. Certainly is to me! What is amazing is the amount of pressure any amount of money can put on one's conscience if it becomes "painful" to part with it...

Schools and similar organizations PAY for a site or multiple user license. Ergo, multiple copies of a program can LEGALLY run in multiple locations. I would suggest that the best way to get your game running is to do it LEGALLY. Buy it.

Just because a lot of people do something, doesn't necessarily make it right.

As was stated any large organization buys software with volume licenses. Basically it means that although they might only have a few physical copies of the software they can actually, and legally, install it on many computers. Whose computers, and where those computers are located, is up to whoever paid for that software.

As an example, my mother works for the school district. She can get a copy of any software that they use for her home computer by making a request to the IT people. So just because a school gives software to students/faculty doesn't mean that they are pirating it.

That's no doubt correct in what you're saying. However, they paid a fee to be able to do that.
