OT: CD-less Operation
Does anyone know of a program (emulator?) that allows you to use CD-images on your hard drive instead of inserting CD's everytime you want to play? When I decide to click on Combat Flight Simulator I don't want to dig through my discs... I wanna shoot down Gerries...
Thx,
T

Re: OT: CD-less Operation
you could search for a noCD patch. but I think mentioning where to get them is not very allowed on these forums so I cant help you more than that.

Re: OT: CD-less Operation
What sort of CD burning software do you possess? Some, such as Nero, come with virtual drive applications and the ability to write to images instead of just a disk. There are some freeware alternatives out there if you do not own a suitable CD burner.

Re: OT: CD-less Operation
If i understood what you want, what you are searching for is a program like "Daemon Tools".... google it... it´s a completely legit and legal program (even if it can be used for ilegal purposes)...

I use Nero6, and yes it writes images to a "virtual image drive" but does not offer a way to use the images. I just looked at Game Jackal, and it appears by their description that it would do what I want. It seems that I would have to use their image-writer though. (They call it "creating a profile"; I assume it's the same thing.) I was hoping to use Nero images, but I can't see anything that'll do that...
Thanks for the replies, sorry for the delay, I was at Wizard World all weekend.

Just curious, did you happen to get Nero as part of a bundle when you bought your pc, and have since replaced or upgraded your CD drive? I had exactly the same problem you are describing with my Nero install and it took be three days of reading online manuals and forum postings before I figured out this was my problem. The copy of NERO I had was a special OEM license that was only useable with the combination of MB and CD drive that I bought it with. Even uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't help. I can make images and virtual CD's, but it won't burn anything.
