    you can try mounting the .cue on a virtual drive (google 'elby clonedrive' if you need a CD emulator) and using the 'run CD' option in ePSXe (make sure your CD rom plugin is configured to the virtual drive letter). I would have expected there to be a .bin or .img file there though.

    leave the .cue mounted, open a CD burning program and make a copy.

    the .bin contains the actual data. The .cue should reference it, so it wont change anything, although you can try opening the .bin directly in ePSXe. the most likely problem is either that game doesnt work on 1.7, in which case try 1.6 or 1.5.2, or your plugins (probably graphics) aren't configured right for the game.

    yes, same plugins, same bios (assuming you have the right bios, if other games have worked then you have.)
