You can buy swap disks so that mod chips aren't needed ... how well they work, can't tell ya... dunno anyone that got one yet (they're all waiting for someone else to get one first and see about if there's any compatibility issue's )

Ok guys, a whole lot of you are asking what do to with the various files you download using eMule, so I?m writing up this mini file-extension summary. This will cover some of the more common file-types that Windows does not recognize by default.
So, lets get started shall we!
1.).BIN, these are binary image files of CD?s, usually accompanied by a .cue file that will be covered later in this guide. These can be manipulated by many different programs. My favorite way to handle these is to simply use a program like Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools. Using these tools you can mount the images using ?Virtual? drives, that means you can use them as if they were CD?s w/o burning it to a CD at all. Although the easiest and most popular way to handle these files is burning them onto a CD, I don?t suggest burning the file directly, I would advise you to burn the .cue file, as it actually shirnks the size of the file when burnt, and is handled by popular burning software, such as Ahead Nero. If you have downloaed a film in .bin format, a media player called VideoLan for Windows can play these files.
2.).CUE, these little guys are typically very small in size, <1kB. And simply provide applications with specs pertaining to how the file is laid out on disk. The files they provide this information for are the .bin files. Because they provide programs with how the image is to be laid out on disk, they tend to make the file small enough to fit onto a CD, which is why I say everyone should download the .cue file if they are downloading a .bin image. They can be burned by programs such as Nero or just about any other burning software. As well as mounted using Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools.
3.).ZIP, these are compressed archives of files, many times people will compress image files, to make transfers go faster, because the file size is smaller. Yes, windows XP does recognize these by default, but windows sucks at everything
. Popular extracting tools are WinAce, WinRAR, WinZip
4.).RAR, these are the same idea as zip files, and can be read by WinRAR and WinAce.
5.).ISO, Disk image files, can be mounted or burned using nero, Alcohol 120%, or Daemon Tools.
6.)CloneCD Sub-section *Credit goes to SirXerxes and Idiot for this*
The three files written (with the ending *.CCD, *.IMG and *.SUB) are
.CCD - The CloneCD control file. It contains information about the logical structure of the CD. The CCD file is an ASCII text file. Experienced users may want to modify it.
.IMG - Image, the main channel data of all tracks of the CD
.SUB - Sub Channel Data, the sub channel data of all tracks of the CD
The three files must be in the same directory. They must have the same "front" name, e.g. Clone CD Image.ccd, CloneCD Image.img and Clone CD Image.sub.
7.).NFO, windows trys to open these files incorrectly by default, they can be viewed by choosing to open them in notepad/wordpad. They usually contain information about the file you have downloaded.
8.).ACE, Just like ZIPs and RARs, its an archive, use WinAce. (Thanks SirXerxes)
9.).OGG audio and .OGM video files can be opened with a little help of OGGDS (Thanks killmaus)
10.) .APE can be opened via MonkeysAudio (Thanks killmaus)
11.).MPC can be opened via MusePack Source (Thanks killmaus)
others: If you did not found the file-extention you are loocking for, go to this database:http://filext.com. It will tell you known formats to an entered file extention!

Those are not media files* see here for more info.
* A part file can contain (parts of) a media file if you are downloading video or audio. A partial download can be watched (not entirely probbably) by rightclicking on it in the transfers window and choose preview

You should add
.msi Windows Installer.
Not everyone knows what it is.

Hello,
I've wonder if anyone can help me solve my problem.
I've downloaded a friendly free anti-virus program with the extentions .cue and .bin

How can I install my anti-virus
THANK YOU

How about reading 1. and/or 2. in the first posting?
And BTW ... what free AV is distributed as .bin/.cue?!

If you'd tell me the name of the AV, I'd tell you if it's bad.

Are you trying to make me violate the precious rule number 2? I'm sure it is fine. I found the link on some site with a lot of links and downloaded it with eMule and it had many sources. Many of the comment was something like 'works' and release' and stuff like that. Got to be allright.

The link for .mpc (Musepack) is pretty outdated. The URL is http://www.musepack.net

Hi,
i am new to emule, and i have some problem.
would you help me.
i downloaded some big size files. one is almost 4gb,
many others are between 200 to 700MB file size.
i have no problem with .rar extension, but when i try to open .zip files,
it gives me error that "the archives is either unknown format or damaged"
10 out of 9 .zip files return this message while i use winrar or winzip to extract file.
"-No archives found?" but it says the file size in my windowXP pro(sp1) .
I guess does emule has problem with .zip files???
hope someone can help me.
thanks,
apple

Well, there's your problem right there. You're making up non-existant zip files

I think 7ZIP '.7z' extension handling should be added.
This brand new archiver has outstanding performances and open source!

Maybe the following info could be useful...
> ISOs could be opened with WinRAR; it often more useful than mounting them as CDs.
> a pair "APE+CUE" could be easilly played with Foobar2000, you should just open a .cue; but to play them with Winamp, it often necessary to download and install Monkey's audio (Winamp plugin included) and then make .apl files from .cue file using MakeAPL utility. APLs are 'shortcuts' to songs stored in a large .ape.

maybe it is useful to apply all the comments to the first post of the sticky so it will be more easily to find the info...
