Convert .bin/.cue to .iso [Mac/Linux]

I dislike .bin/.cue combinations for a few reasons. But the biggest is that Mac doesn’t natively support mounting them. Good thing I have macports to install linux programs.

Firstly lets install bchunk (use your favorite package manager, or macports on the mac)

# Mac Installation
sudo port install bchunk

Then locate your .bin/.cue combinations and CONVERT!

bchunk makes .bin/.cue > .iso conversion EASY!

For those of you that keep up with the times:

I was disappointed when this service went down, yet today I figured out a way to make Gmail tasks into a standalone application. Since I’m working on my mac I built a copy…
