is there a bin2nrg or bin2cdi?

This forum is for discussion pertaining to homebrew and indie software for the Dreamcast, such as homebrew games, emulators/interpreters, and other homebrew software/applications. Porting requests and developmental ideas are not to be made here; you can make those here. If you need any help burning discs for homebrew software, this is the place to ask as well.

Nero opens BIN/CUEs, and I'm willing to bet DiscJuggler does, as well.

Which bin did you mean? There are .bin CD images, and there are Dreamcast .bin executables. They are handled in completely different ways.

CD image .bin files are ready to burn files, just load them in a compatable burning programs to have a self-boot emu (you have to use a separate rom disc with most).

Dreamcast executable .bin files are not ready to burn. You have to use a self-booting program (such as bin2boot) to get them to work. You usually create an image with the roms included.
