burning or "backing up" an unknown file type .. help!

[badMotoFinga]

Ok so lately i've been coming across these files which have no file extension. Namely Star Wars KOTOR2 and this LearnKey CISCO thing.

I tried giving the file extensions such as .iso or .bin (and i made my own .cue file) etc. Nothin worked unless i was lookin to make coasters.

Apparently a guy i know said his roommate said that you can use Alcohol120% to run it but i dont see how that works.

Is there any avid mIRC or Newsbin ppl that know what I'm talkin bout? Or do i sound like some kinda raving technoweenie.

oh yeah .. and in the .NFO file all it says is

"1) Unrar
2) Burn/Mount
3) Enjoy!"

Whadda load of crap ...

So what exactly are you having a problem with? From what I can guess, it looks like you're having problems using the file? If so, I can help you. Please explain exactly what your problem is.

alrighty .. so i got these files from newsbin .. they were posted as splits (.001, .002, .003, etc). So i get em all and join them with HJSPLIT and then the file which i normally expect to be some sort of image file (.iso, .bin/cue, etc) is however unknown. The file has no corresponding file type. It simply extracted to become a file with no extension. (Ex. Instead of FILE.ISO, I get FILE). So with that said, I don't know how i'm suppose to burn this or run it for that matter. I made several attempts to change the file extension to something familiar such as .bin or .iso, etc. But that simply resulted in burning un-readable CD-R's. I've had this problem with the Star Wars KOTOR2 release which has been up on newsbin several times. So, I dont know what program to associate these extensionless files to or whether to burn them in a certain way. I hope that describes the problem.

Alcohol 120% is a burning software the recognize all image formats.

If it doesn't understand your file, you're pretty much screwed.

sounds like all the files that you compiled arent complete, or there is a problem with your compiler...

Piracy is bad mmmkay, please don't call it "backing up" your stuff when you obviously did not own the original
