This program allows running Backup Copies of SafeDisc (C-Dilla), Securom, Laserlock, CDCOPS, StarForce and Protect CD (and many others) protected games. Also included is a Virtual DVDROM drive (Generic DVD-ROM) enabling you to use your CD images as if they were already burned to CD! DAEMON Tools works under Windows9x/ME/NT/2000/XP with all types of CD/DVDROM drives (IDE/SCSI) and supports nearly any CD protection.
- Daemon Tools needs a 1:1 Copy to run!!
- Daemon Tools is used to RUN GAMES, NOT TO BURN THEM!!! Means emulation must be active while you want to play a game, not while burning the copy (except for you want to use DAEMON Tools' "fastdump" feature on a safedisc protected CD).
- If you want to run a copy protected application from an image mounted to a Generic DVD-ROM enabling the copy protection emulation(s) is NOT necessary!!
- Generic DVD-ROM is able to run nearly every protected or unprotected CD image (Safedisc, Securom, Laserlock, Lockblocks etc.) like it was the original CD! Just do an image file using one of the supported burning programs and mount it with Daemon Manager!
Daemon Tools supports the following image files :
- cue/bin
- iso
- ccd (CloneCD)
- bwt (Blindwrite)
- mds (Media Descriptor File)
- cdi (Discjuggler)
- nrg (Nero)
- pdi (Instant CD/DVD)
- b5t (BlindWrite 5)
Changes in Daemon Tools 4.45.2 :
- SPTD 1.80 (support of Windows 8).
- Redesigned installation wizard.
- Catalan language added to the list of supported languages.
• Bugs fixed:
- Sidebar Gadget: automount issue.
- Minor bugs.
Changes in Daemon Tools 3.47 :
- Fixed lockup with some images containing bad sectors made by Alcohol (MDS)
- Fixed Nero InCD formatting problem with DAEMON Tools present
- Fixed atapi.sys locking problem (as a result, some emulation ability is removed for PCD5 until new release)
Important Notes :
- Quote from Daemon Tools' release notes: "
Another important change in DAEMON Tools 4.10 is the integration of ADWARE. Yes, we need that revenues. However, we decided to let YOU choose to run it with ADWARE and support us - or simple turn it OFF in installation-process and run it same way as former versions - without ADWARE. By default, it is turned ON - to not install that ADWARE, please
UNCHECK at installation "DAEMON TOOLS SEARCHBAR" (or you can remove it anytime later when you wish via "Control Panel"-> "Add/Remove programs")."

I agree with all the positive ratings, however the article left out one file type that it also supports. VCD format. The formats i used were created by VirtualDrive a CD/DVD Emulator. It builds VCD images of game, programs cd/dvd's Well i've been using daemon tools to mount those vcd images , which it does very nicely
