Question

how do u make a virtual disk of a game u alredy had using deamon

Answer 1

There are several tools for it.



The easiest is to get a friend who use linux, and enter this command into a terminal:



For DVD's:

dd if=/dev/dvd of=myGameDisk.iso



For CD's

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=myGameDisk.iso



There are several programs for windows to do this too, but most of them cost, I used to use isobuster, it worked great, and I'm sure it's still a great tool.



Alcohol 120% is also a VERY good tool, but it's also not free.



Also, many new disks are copy protected, and it might not be possible to make an exact copy that the game will recognize, the easiest way around this is to download a so-called "nocd" patch/crack for the game. This is perfectly legal to do when you have the original game.



People shouldn't be punished for buying their games original.

Answer 2

hmm im not sure now that im re-reading it... i kno if you have daemon tools installed you mount a .cue or a .bin file to it, and u dont have to burn the file to play it, im pretty sure there is a way, try dvdhelp.com and look at the ripping section (because you'll have to rip whatever is on the disk to ur PC)



ohhh its called Create an Image File, thats what i used with Nero Burning software, you can get it offa bittorrent



Alcohol 120% is also good

If you want to make a CD into an ISO file (or, burn an ISO file into a disc) you use Burn Aware Free:
