Click on daemon tools and I recommend you download the 3.1 or whatever version. The 3.1 something version instead of the 4.0 version, it is a lot smaller and it does not lose a whole lot of features but I go to downloads daemon tools also disables a lot of protection on the CD but who cares if you own the actual CD. Okay, so I just go in I go to downloads in I download. So, I get daemon tools we download it, install it, it is pretty simple. I double click and if you will know it did not open anything. I have to go to the right in daemon tools works a little differently, I just go to virtual CD-ROM in the task bar and I mount an image in then I go ahead in select the image. And now as you can see I have it install on my virtual, on my daemon tools tomb. The only draw back about virtual CD’s is that uses the entire disk space of the CD. So, how it big the CD was it is going to put in on your disk drive uncompress. So, it can take up to 700MB or even 4GB for each ISO. So, if you are running well in disk space I do not recommend it. Okay, so earlier I download Final Fantasy 7 in French and I thought that will be a good example. I download the ISO files in been in queue format then queue and I do not want to waste the CD by burning this disk can putting an end. I rather run it just an ISO, now this been a great example because my emulator EPSXE can run from ISO but I will go ahead in show you how to mount it from daemon tools. I go to daemon tools, I can click virtual CD, click the CD drive and I click mount in it image and I am going to open the queue file and now it is in my virtual CD drive. So, I just click run CD-ROM in now I am running the ISO file from the virtual CD-ROM it is Final Fantasy 7. So, again I did not have to waste the CD do anything like that. I can automatically just install it into my, I mean insert it into my virtual drive without the actual CD. So, there you go, I have here enjoyed this tutorial. This been a tutorial by jimmyr.com, checks out from more tutorials. Almost forgot to add that there is an option to size for virtual CD’s that allows you to use a game without the annoying prompt in insert the CD. There called game fixes or patches but what they do is a programmer, made this program in it deletes it with code from the game. It deletes the thing that calls the message so it allows you to hack, it is basically a hack but it is not they do not have any viruses they do not have any adware or anything like that, it still much preferable to use a virtual CD. Where the patches do the down side is that when you install them if the game releases a major update where update whole bunch stuff you may have to uninstall and reinstall the program because where the lot of the games to is they check the file size of the program and when the program were uses the patch and removes hanging message about insert your CD. It changes the file size of the game even if it slightly we check something else when it tries to update. So, if you do not like the inconvenience of uninstalling or reinstalling the game I do not recommend it for you but the site mobygames.com. Search in to Google or type it in your address bar I have here they are called game fixes in this section we have game trainers and game fixes. Trainers are just chits like infinite animal in that kind of thing. So, your particular game the patches of the one said there are no CD may find a familiar one. It age of vampires it is been around for a long time it is made by Microsoft. I just click game fixes and in here it has the CD keys. I mean it is not CD keys but no CD patch so it does not prompt you for the CD every time you play the game. So, it is pretty useful as you can see they have it for version 1.0 and version 1.0A because the versions for example if you try a patch for 1.0 on 1.0A that you have updated the game it will not work. So, again that is the down sign if they update the game your patch may not work. Okay, this is been a videos tutorial by jimmyr.com. I hope you enjoyed it.
