    How are you wanting to play it? The 2 files that are small in size, have instructions or datasheets linked to the main image (commonly used for burning etc.).

    The file with a lot of space contains all of the data for the game so yes you certianly need it. The other two smaller files just tell your Cd burners how to burn that data to disk. What im getting at it is you really need all of the files.

    Keep them. cue mdf and ccd tells the emulator what mode to use and which part of the cd to read, those files are also used when burning.

    For NDS ROMs though you don't need the .nfo and the .lnk file, only the .nds one.
