troubles mounting iso file

[Makdadi]

I have been googling this for hours and I'm stumped.
Probably a huge noob thing here but when I try to mount an iso using

mkdir /mnt/iso

and

mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename.iso /mnt/iso

I always get:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

I have this file in bin format as well as iso format so if there is an easier way to do this using the bin file, that would be great.

The file is a game I downloaded that is supposed to be native to linux but my understanding is that .bin files are a windows thing. Did I download the wrong file or something? I just want to mount the image so I can install the game.

Thank you in advance. Sorry if I left out any important details,

How to: Mount an ISO image under Linux

Thanks for your response but I've actually been to that exact page before I came here. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I'm beginning to think it was the file I downloaded.

Anyway, I'm going to keep trying on my own but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This works
mount -o loop filename.iso /mnt
