Hi,
Is there softwarre that can mount a virtual cd-drive w/ *.bin images? I hate having to always burn CD's and I vaguely remember hearing I can get software that can read the the bin file as a cd. I know it's not isobuster b/c that just reads and extracts bin files.

Daemon tools is free, CloneCD includes this (there are probably a dozen, those two are the best I've run into)

there used be a program called Virtual CDrom, or something like that. I forget what file type it read, but it generated an actual drive in your device hardware list. And you used their program to insert or eject the "cds." I don't know what happened to the program, if it's still being updated or dead, and it is pre-win2000/me/xp, so I don't know if it'll work with those os's.

There are just too many but as suggest above, I recommend Daemon Tools which is pretty effective with virtually all kinds of cd images.

Same, Daemon tools and CloneCD, works great. No more disc swapping for games is a dream.
