Sometimes you need to make an iso image out of a .bin file, where you usually use bchunk (binchunker).

To get binchunker, type the following command :

sudo apt-get install bchunk

now to use is it , either:

(1) You have the .cue file ,then you just type the following command :

bchunk filename.bin filename.cue filename

(2)Or, If you don’t have the .cue file, .cue file usually contains the track layout information, and it only contains the following lines :

FILE ”BinFileName.bin” BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

Where MODE1 , is the track mode when it is a computer cd, and MODE2 if it is a PlayStation cd.
you can write a one file of shell script to do all of this foe you , just make a new file :

gedit biniso &

Paste the following lines,(you can always use the ampersand at the end of your command to keep the acess to your command line , you don’t need to open a new shell. It is very useful when you run programs from the terminal like “sudo nautilus”, or “mathematica” ):

echo FILE ”$1.bin” BINARY >> $1.cue
echo TRACK 01 MODE1/2352 >> $1.cue
echo INDEX 0"
