Do you have a .bin file that you can't seem to open in PowerISO? Are you getting an “unsupported or invalid file format” error? Don’t worry, we’ll help you resolve this issue. This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to open a .bin file in PowerISO.
Step 1: Check the File Extension
The file could be unsupported or invalid if it is not being granted the right extension. BIN files have the file extension .bin. Therefore, the file has to have the same extension for PowerISO to be able to read it.
Check the file extension in the filename, and make sure it has the correct extension according to the content it’s intended for. For example, if you are trying to open a game file in PowerISO, make sure the extension is .bin.
Step 2: Check the Compatibility
You can also check for compatibility if you are unsure about whether the file is being supported in PowerISO. If the file format is not supported, then there is nothing you can do unless the developer is releasing an update.
To check the compatibility, open the PowerISO app, and click on the ‘About’ option in the menu. Scroll down the information box of the app to see the list of compatible formats. If the particular format is not in the list, then it’s not supported.
Step 3: Convert the File
If the file is compatible, but PowerISO is still not reading it, then the best solution is to convert it to a different format. For example, if you have a .bin file, you can try converting it to a .iso file. You can use a file converter to convert the file.
Be sure to use a reliable file converter so you do not end up damaging the file. Once the file is converted, open PowerISO and drag and drop the converted file.
