Based on your theory, I did a little testing with a small raw mixed mode BIN+CUE (1 data track and 2 audio tracks) rip. WinISO version 5.3 was used.
At first, I thought you were right in that WinISO shows you the tracks from a BIN when you select
BIN to ISO... from the
Convert menu. So I asked myself, "How is WinISO able to get the info to tell it how many tracks a mixed mode BIN file has as well as how big each track is?"
Then I came to realize that maybe it's because I have the original BIN+CUE cue sheet in the same directory as the BIN file I'm trying to use WinISO to convert to ISO+WAV. Could it be that WinISO auto detects whether a cuesheet - sharing the same file name minus the file extension as the BIN file - is present in the same directory?
So I renamed the cuesheet from the original BIN+CUE rip and tried the
BIN to ISO... convert again. As I hypothesized, WinISO didn't ask/show me which tracks I wanted to extract; it just went straight to converting as if there was only one track in the BIN file. To be more certain that WinISO is using the information from the cue sheet, I changed some of the numbers from the cue sheet to ridiculous values. I did the
BIN to ISO... again and it showed me which tracks I wanted to convert. However, I noticed that track 2 went from 10 MB (
before editing cue sheet) to 3803 MB (
after editing cue sheet). WTF? LOL!
Conclusion:
WinISO, like CDmage, cannot determine how many data and audio tracks there are in a mixed mode BIN file without the presence of a valid cue sheet of the same file name (minus file extension) in the same directory as the BIN file. Therefore, WinISO cannot convert a mixed mode BIN to ISO+WAV without the help of a valid cue sheet. And since the purpose of this post is to find a way to get that cue sheet, or find another way to extract the ISO+WAV from the mixed mode BIN file that is missing the cue sheet, the best solution I think is still to get someone who has the original game to make a cue sheet for you.
The suggesion
daffy duck made sounds interesting though. Since I neither have DJ4 installed, nor have I ever used it, I cannot confirm whether his method works or not.

Im amazed nobodys mentioned WinISO...I use it almost all the time, especially when i dont get a cuesheet with bin files...Basically just get it, (WinISO) and open it, go to convert and select BIN to ISO...check which tracks you want extracted, (obviously) and thats pretty much all there is to it
Edit: well that, and making a cue file with Sega Cue Maker.
