Topic: Technical Question about ISOs

So... I finally stopped looking for Master of Orion III, it is safe to say that the game is completely gone from my house. So I gave in and downloaded it the other night. Now... My CD R/W has decided to spazz. This is a Bad Thing, since I can't replace the CDs, which seem to be the problem, for probably a few weeks.

Question is simple. Is there a program that'll allow me to read ISOs, so I can get the game installed? Or do I have to wait until my burner is working again?

If you can get a hold of a copy of Clone CD, preferably a newer version, it comes with Virtual Clone Drive which mounts .iso and .ccd files as though they were actual cds.

edit - Clone DVD is very cool too. However some games/programs can read copying software on your system and will refuse to run until it is uninstalled (Sims 2 for example). Alcohol 120 rarely has this problem.


OK..too early..I can't even post right!11!!

I use a program called UltraISO that "Unzips" ISO files, among other things.

There is also a program called Daemon Tools that I have found to work relatively decently. Haven't needed to use it in a while, so I don't know what the new version is like.

Haha! To be completely honest, I just finished rereading Steve White and David Webber's In Death Ground and I'm in the mood to make big ship thingies and then watch them blow eachother up. That is all.

And thanks everyone, UltraISO worked just fine

Daemon Tools is the tool of choice.

Clone CD and Nero both come with a Virtual Drive package built in, but Daemon Tools makes them cry like the panies they are.

Interesting note: If you install ANY packet writing software into Windows XP, it overwrites the native windows XP packet writing and you can never restore it, even if you uninstall and do a repair install of Winxp. Only way is to reformat totally.

Get MoO2, it beats the living hell out of 3, hell even Ascendancy and Birth of Federation do.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

But almost every packet writing software package in the universe is better than the built-in windows XP stuff...
