Heeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyy pips! I got a question, though bet its been asked b4. Those fkn BIN files!!! Nothing can open them! yes they are working! Yes, i download from good scources! No, i am not bullstn' Its Magic lantern's file
Basically NOTHING can open BIN files! Daemon, UltraISO, PowerISO, Nero etc..... it always says "file format is invalid or unsupported"
this fkn thing pisses me off. bout to loooseee ittt hea!!! hahahah
what are those files for? I think there is now definition of how a ".bin" file should look like/work. Basically every programmer can create some files with his own format and the ending ".bin". The suffix is actually suggesting, that this is some kind of binary data. This datia should only be meaningful in the right context, like @th3z0ne already suggested with his reply.
.bin is just a way of identifying a file as binary so utilities that use FTP (for instance) download them correctly. Replace the .bin with the extension the file needs.
You know what?! I fkn created an account here just for this! In the entire motherfkn internet, there isn’t one bloody human being who can use more than two brain cells and understand that these programs or 7zip cannot open the file. All I get is “Why do you want to open it, ehe?” or “Your file is problably corrupted.” kind of answers!
CAN ANYBODY PLEASE, I MEAN P L E A S E TELL ME HOW TO FKN OPEN THE .BIN FILE WITHOUT GETTING THE “file format is invalid or unsupported” ERROR. I’M GOING INSANE!
Why did I wrote this under this post even while nobody been here for years? Because this guy got me in %100 empath. Feels like these were my words. It’s like he is the only person who can use more than two braincells online about the .BIN file topic.
If I can find a solution, I will type it down here.
In order to properly open a .bin file, first you have to know what it actually is so you can judge whether you have a program that should be able to open it.
Since .bin is such a generic suffix, this might require some context and/or guessing. Where did you get it from? What do you expect it to be?
In Linux, try file filename.bin to have it try and guess the file type.
Back when people regularly ripped audio CDs, a .bin file would have been part of a pair, the other part being a .cue file describing the geometry of the tracks. You’d open the .cue file to be able to properly burn the CD.
However, if the .bin file does not have a corresponding .cue file yet is meant to be a CD/DVD image, try renaming it to .iso so it can be opened by whichever software you have for that.
