So, I picked up this PC game, and when I went to check out the folder, I found seven different RAR files all sharing the exact same name (N/A). I'm a bit stuck on how to actually get the installation files extracted so I can get the thing running on my rig.
The instructions say to follow these steps:
1. Unrar
2. Burn BIN\CUE
3. Install
4. Use the crack in the N/A directory on the CD!
5. Play!

The thing is, inside every single one of those RAR archives, there are just two files (bin and cue).
Can anyone walk me through the actual process here?

You’ll need to open one of those files using an archive utility you have installed—just use the "Open with..." option.

Why am I looking at seven identical RAR files here? Do I actually need to bother extracting every single one of them, or is just grabbing one enough?
I heard somewhere that N/A handles those bin/cue files just fine.

The filenames might be identical, but the extensions are likely what's different. It probably looks something like this:

N/A.r00
N/A.r01
N/A.r02
and so on..

Just open that first file in whatever archive tool you've got installed—maybe WinRAR or 7-Zip—and you should be able to extract whatever you need from there.

Nah, it turns out every single file inside all seven RAR archives has the exact same name.
Basically, every one of those archives is just holding two files:
N/A.bin
N/A.cue

And get this—every archive is sitting at 14,649 KB, except for that one weird outlier that’s only 2,123 KB

You don't really need to open every single file—just grab one and pull out what you need; the system should automatically fetch the rest of the dependencies from the others. Just make sure you extract it from the archive into a separate folder first if you want to be able to mount the image.

You've got a point there. I tried extracting just one of them and ended up with two files: unknown and unknown. Once I ran those through PowerISO, I got a clean folder containing the setup file along with all the other necessary bits.
Thanks
