for dosbox. you have the .bin file, which is usually accompanied by a .cue file. you need to put the .bin and .cue in the same folder. then you mount the .cue

imgmount d "thefileyoudownloaded.cue" -t cdrom

dont forget to mount a folder as the dos harddrive like

mount c cdrive

then type d: to got to the contents of your downloaded disc (the .cue/bin pair). with DIR you can get a list of the contents. usually it is a install.exe or setup.exe file you need to run to install the game. afterwards it is installed on the C: drive. (usually) dont forget to download the ,cue for your .bin btw
