Frogger PC .bin File
On oldie, but goodie. I am looking into the PC version because I already can access the PS1 files and want to compare them. Unfortunately, VGMToolbox won't open this. Is there an alternate method? Will the .cue file assist?

Re: Frogger PC .bin File
I think that there is a way.
Copy the first 0xE0BC200 bytes of frogger.bin in a new file. You can use a hex editor for doing it (E0BC200 is a hexadecimal number, 235651584 in decimal).
Then use this script for creating a readable ISO from that new file:
http://aluigi.org/bms/ps1_disk_chunks.bms
Open the generated _unchunked file with 7zip or similar software.
In short that bin is a PS ISO containing data (the one of the 0xE0BC200 bytes) and audio, all referenced by the relative cue.
I'm quite sure exist specific tools for handling these ISO but I don't know the PS scene, anyway my work-around works
