There are many movies, games and programs created. Many are in CD and DVD discs. Probably all of them can be found on the internet, but in “image” files. Using emulators, we can open those files. For example, we have to reinstall our OS, but we lost our CD. That's not a problem because we can download a copy from internet. Using emulators, we can open many “images” at a time. That is very good if we want to use few CDs.
Why it's worth to use CD/DVD emulators?
- From an “image”, all data is faster than from a CD or DVD.
- You can download “images” from internet and share them with others.
- No sound from your CD/DVD-ROM.
- You can use few “images” at a time.
- Programs, movies and games works faster, than from discs.
- Emulator is free or very cheap.
- If you have a notebook, you will save battery power.
Where you can find “images”?
You can always find “images” on P2P. You can also download from FTP or find using google.com. “Images” can be various, but a good emulator, has to support them all. Often “images” are .bin, .cue, .img, .nrg, .mdf, .mds, .ccd. Another important thing is that “images” can be 700mb and more. Download can take a while.
Installing “Daemon Tools”
