Title: Software for Virtual CD Rom?
Post by: chrisindfw on November 21, 2007, 06:15:43 pm

What software do you recommend for me to "mount" cd's to a virtual CD Rom so I can have multiple CD's ready at a moments notice.

I know the first everyone will say is Daemon tools. I used this however it was not working properly with the cd roms. I have a bunch of '"You Dont Know Jack" games and I have a swappable panel just for that game. Its old, its still fun, and a great addition for the cabinet. They all need to be ran from a CD Rom and Daemon just wont cut it. (for some reason)

Any other suggestions?

I use ImageDrive. It comes with Nero from Ahead. As far as I know it does only 2 CD though.

I use Daemon Tools - it works great for me. Are you using the latest version? There is a new version posted on Sept 16th...

What is the behaviour you're seeing when you use Daemon Tools? It's always treated me well, except for some very new games with unusual protection.

Magicdisc (http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm) - free, and not to be confused with the "must pay money" one by the same developers, MagicISO.

There is also Alcohol 120% (sorry, don't know the link).

I know of it, but I personally use Daemon Tools.

Virtual clonedrive is good (I use it because it is compatible with vista) and it's freeware.
