I am having zero luck with WinCDEmu and both the .cue and .bin files in the download. I refuse to use Daemon Tools since it's got crypto mining viruses in it. Why isn't this just a regular ISO like the download name implies? The base game was in ISO format so why not this one?

is this standalone or an expansion for B&W2 (https://www.myabandonware.com/game/black-white-2-bem#download)

Played just fine for me on Windows11 following Liarface's instructions :) It's vital that you don't use Windows' built in mounting tool. WinCDEmu is free and was easy to use. I've played through the game 3 times now with almost no issues. There are occasional crashes, most often when saving, but it's pretty minimal. I've only experienced one crash while quick-saving though so I've been able to reliably save progress that way to be safe. The text can get a little small at 1440p but everything else looks as good or better than I remember it. Sometimes the cursor will have the wrong option selected when in the build menu as well, but other than these small things everything is running smoothly, thank you!

I was able to play B&W2 but unable to get battle of the gods to launch. It halfway opens makes a popping sound and closes out. I have tried installing it several times. Has anyone found a solution to get this to run?

CaptinXJack25 Feb. 2025
so it appears that when i tried the suggested way it was a corrupt image but if i just use the WinCDEmu on the bin it worked and installed

Any idea how? Got B&W working on deck from a reddit guide without too much trouble, waiting on the full game download for B&W2 now but this expansion seems like a headache to figure out.

Playing BOTG in 2024
Hopefully I can offer some clarity here after searching through comments and making the game work relatively quickly. For reference, I'm on a Intel laptop with a Geforce M1070
1) Install B&W2 first, there's a 2023 guide in one of the comments I followed that worked perfect
I have absolutely no idea, how to make this work… I download it try running it. God knows! Can’t even delete it now. Any help would be awesome…. I’m a musician I do gigs, I don’t spend loads of time on computers, so no abbreviations, simple talk. I don’t even know what ISO stands for… So go easy on me
Did anyone get this to work - i didnt - I got B&W2 to work but the addon BOG does not - i have no clue - tried downloading both and neither work

For those who are confused! Download & install "WinCDEmu" then Double-click the ".cue" File and it will pop up a window to mount it as a disk! I hope this helps!!! :D

Found a working CD-Key so you don't need to crack it. Just mount the image and play.

Just a heads up for anyone who is getting this before playing base game. this expansion expects you to have played the base game and doesn't seem to let you play it after install. so hold off on this till your done with base. it even has an option to import your creature from base

Just a guy05 Feb. 2022
@xeno You just need to convert the bin to an iso using a converter like winiso. Then extract the iso from winiso to a folder and mount it from there.

Hey when I download the Battle of the Gods add on there's no ISO.
I extracted the files and there's a "reloaded" system information file, rld-botg.bin, and rld-botg which is CUE.
What are these?

I had an issue with the mouse sticking in the base game, however I went to options and increased the mouse sensitivity and that seems to have sorted it. Perhaps that could fix the issue you're having, too.

ANDYKHOLOKMENG1981@GMAIL.COM: You need to be able to "Run as administator" I believe to use these files. Just google, "How do I get administrator privileges on Windows 10?" or whatever Windows Operating system you have.

Update: I downloaded the patch for BotG from bwfiles.com, that made it possible to run on Windows 10, and after installing, it seems to work like a charm I apparently was just stupid and/or blind yesterday, but I hope this helps someone who is in the same situation

I've downloaded the files, and already have B&W2, and the 2 official patches installed. I unzipped the files, and was left with a folder containing: Reloaded(.nfo), rld-botg(.bin) and rld-botg(.cue) After opening the .bin file with Daemon tool, running the Setup, found in the resulting BD-ROM drive, entering the CD key and clicking the "Black & White Battle of the Gods" icon, that appeared on the desktop, nothing happened. I even opened as an administrator. Then I tried the "arun" application in the BD-ROM drive, which lead me to the actual game start page. But after I clicked Play, it just closed down. It didn't indicate that the game was starting, or anything. I tried ejecting the drive, and opening the other folder (.cue), but the content was the same, and when I ran Setup, it asked if I wanted to uninstall, repair or modify the program features. I tried repairing, and when that didn't work, I tried troubleshooting compatibility, which didn't change anything. I've just about scoured the internet to find a solution, but either I'm blind, stupid, or it was nowhere to be found.
I am not tech savvy, by any means, so some help would be much appreciated I'm using Win10 As I finished writing this, i noticed the abandonware guide, right above the "write a commment" section. I read it through and followed the instructions, running it with D-Fend Reloaded, but it only said that it was a windows executable, and thus it couldn't play it. I clicked ok, and it seemed to start anyway, but nothing happened. Idk if i'm just stupid or what.. I tried running the .bin file, but that didn't work either

For everyone saying there isn't any CD key, once you've mounted the ISO open it up and head over to the Crack folder and then open up rld-bw2botgkg.exe ad hit Generate.

I've downloaded the files, and already have B&W2, and the 2 official patches installed.
I unzipped the files, and was left with a folder containing: Reloaded(.nfo), rld-botg(.bin) and rld-botg(.cue)
After opening the .bin file with Daemon tool, running the Setup, found in the resulting BD-ROM drive, entering the CD key and clicking the "Black & White Battle of the Gods" icon, that appeared on the desktop, nothing happened. I even opened as an administrator.

For everyone saying there isn't any CD key, once you've mounted the ISO open it up and head over to the Crack folder and then open up rld-bw2botgkg.exe ad hit Generate.
MagicISO can convert the bin into and ISO

CD Key is missing, would be nice if it was there, or is there another way to install this?
Does anyone know how to actually install those files?
Any CD Keys?
you have to install the game first hit ignore install first patch then install the game again
Even though there is no iso you can still mount the .bin and .cue files using daemon tools.
A bin/cue set is another format for saving a disk image, similar to an iso.
No comment nor review for this game at the moment.
