    generally with a bin you will need the .cue file that comes with it.

    most image formats can be converted to bin/cue, though generally theres no need since epsxe will play almost any image format, and imgburn will also burn most formats.

    .Cue file is only needed when burning the image.

    no it will not. you cannot make them smaller without either removing some of the data from the game (will most likely break it) or compressing it, which will make it unusable while it is compressed.
