    The idea is to burn a CD image of the BIN/CUE file. To get the CUE file, either make one yourself or use a program called CUE Creator (freeware). The basic outline for the CUE file is (its just a TXT file renamed to a CUE file)

    FILE "binFileName.bin" BINARY
    TRACK 1 MODE1/2352
    INDEX 1 00:00:00

    The only things you need to concern yourself with are:
    - "binFileName.bin": this is the name (and path if needed) of the BIN file
    - MODE1/2352: this is the type of image; to find out, open the BIN with CDMage and the info will be blatently obvious. I think WinISO gives you this info too
    Keep in mind that some games feature protection schemes that need to be overcome first! If you have more specific questions, http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/38 may be more useful to you!
