This is old news to a lot of folks, but in case you've never heard of this, Ed:
If you copy the cd to a .nrg or .iso file with Nero or whatever your cd-copying program is, and then install a free program called Daemon Tools, you can run the games from the file on your hard drive instead of digging out the disc and then waiting for the CD-ROM drive.

The midway arcade treasures collection was sort of a disappointment to me due to the fact that it doesn't support analog controls. Alot of the games included on the deluxe edition require analog controls to be played properly so without them, it's not near as fun.
As far as using daemon tools to play the image from your hard drive, I don't believe it is possible with star force protected discs, which these are.

In Midway Arcade Treasures Deluxe Edition you can launch games without the CD if you go to the midway folder on your harddrive and click on the games executable file . I think this only works for MAT 2 and not Mat 3 .
ArcadEd:
Yeah, that's what I found out too crzywolf.
