Hey guys, Recently I wanted to play Claw but I lost my old cds. So I decided to get the game from Internet Archieve.

When downloaded I got these files from it

  • CLAW_2018_meta.sqlite
  • CLAW_2018_meta.xml
  • CLAW.BIN
  • CLAW.CUE
  • __ia_thumb.jpg
  • Claw_1997_Game_Cover.jpg

I have no clue how to use theses files. If it is possible to convert to an exe, then I might be able to run through bottles.

Thanks for all the help

I don’t know if this applies to CLAW, but many games back then had their audio stored as CD Audio Tracks. If that is the case, you might want to actually emulate a CDROM drive instead of just extracting the files. There is a CDROM emulator for Linux, called CDEmu, which can read CUE/BIN CD Images.

Oh, and that game seems to have an ancient 16-bit installer, which might not work on modern systems. However, according to WineHQ Appdb one can just copy the files from the CD and it works.
