tutorial on the use of DAEMON tools

Now there are many games and software online has been made of ISO or CCD mirror format, some games, such as Daewoo produced the Shaft sword, tycoon 7 and other games, because the game disk is encrypted, so the mirror file can only be made in the MDS format. When you are hard to download these software and games, ready to install, but found that the file icon is unknown type of Windows icon, can not open, this will be depressed to the extreme. In fact, as long as you install the software daemon Tools, all the image files can be easily handled.

　　Advantages of Virtual Optical drive

Let me first introduce the benefits of using virtual optical drives. Because both virtual optical drives and mirrored files operate on the hard disk, you can reduce the number of actual physical optical drives and extend the optical drive life. At the same time, because the hard disk read and write faster than a lot of optical drive, so the use of virtual optical drive, the speed is greatly improved, installation software than with the real optical drive faster than 4 times times, the game of the disc pause phenomenon will be greatly reduced.

　　Installation and basic usage

Daemon Tools is a free software, the latest version 3.46, size 502K, with Simplified Chinese version, recommended that you use this version of the Chinese interface, the operation is more convenient. It can be used on all Windows systems except Windows95. Daemon Tools Branch Iso,ccd,cue,mds and other standard mirror files, and it also supports the characteristics of physical optical drive, such as the automatic operation of CD-ROM and so on. Double-click the installation file, click the Install button, and then click the next step to complete the installation, you need to note that the installation needs to restart the operating system to take effect.

After reboot, daemon tools will automatically load, in the lower right corner of the screen in the taskbar there will be a daemon tools icon. is the red icon in the red box in the image below.

Right-clicking the icon pops up a menu with 5 submenus, as shown in the following image:

Exit is exit daemon Tools, after exiting the icon will disappear from the taskbar, want to use daemon tools again can double-click the Daemon Tools icon on the desktop.

The Help menu contains features such as developer introduction and mail support, which are not related to the use of mirrored files, and interested friends can look at their own Help or send e-mail to ask software authors.

The following is a description of the virtual Cd/dvd-rom, simulation items and options three menu features.

　　Virtual Cd/dvd-rom Menu

1. First of all to set the number of virtual optical drive, daemon tools can support up to 4 virtual optical drive, you can set according to your requirements, general settings one is enough. In some cases, such as your game installation files have a total of 4 image files, you can set the number of virtual CD-ROM is 4, so that when the game is installed can not be transferred to the CD-ROM image.

After you set the number of drives, you will see 2 new optical drive icons in ' My Computer '. The picture below is the author's computer:

CD-ROM L is my physical optical drive, which is my real optical drive installed on the machine, CD m and n are the newly generated virtual optical drive.

2. Now you can load the image file, first look at the picture:

As shown in the above picture, choose to install the image file, and then pop up a window, let you select a mirrored file, select a good image file, click the Open button.

3. When you turn on my computer, you can see that the disc is already plugged in. Because I am inserting a game disc, the disc has been automatically run. The following two maps are "My Computer" inserted in the mirrored disc and CD Autorun.

Open this CD, you can see the file inside, you can copy and paste the CD or double-click the installation file to install the game, and so on, and the real CD file to operate the same. The main work here is over, and basically you can install the software and play the game.

　　Tip: If you want to change the disc, uninstall the mirrored file first, and then insert the other mirrored files, which is much faster than inserting the new mirror files directly.

If you have a mirrored file in all two drives, you can uninstall all the drives.

　　Simulate Project menu

Sometimes if you insert a virtual disc and find that it does not work, the mirror file is loaded, but you can't see it in ' My Computer '. Or you can see the disc, but there are always errors in the operation. Then you can try this inside option. There are four options in the simulation project, so choose RMPs if you want to insert a mirrored file in the MDS format. If this file has the use of optical protection technology, then choose SafeDisc. Other options are less useful, and if you choose RMPs and SafeDisc, you can try other options.

　　Options Menu

　　There are 5 items in the Options menu.

L Analog Audio

When you insert a mirrored file CD music CD, then choose this option, or you may not be able to sound. Other mirrored discs do not have to select this option.

2 Automatic Installation

When you insert a mirrored file, after selecting this option, the system restarts or shuts down and then turns the computer on, and the mirrored disc is automatically loaded. Suggest the game choose this option, so that you play the game every day, do not bother to insert the first mirror disc, directly run the game can play.

3 Automatic start

Select this option, the system will automatically load when the boot, daemon tools will automatically load, recommend not to choose. Run daemon tools when needed, so you can save some memory resources for faster running of systems and games.　　This option does not affect the automatic installation of the previous option, even if you do not choose to start automatically, as long as you inserted a mirrored disc and turned on the automatic installation, then the system will still automatically load the mirror disc on startup. Auto Lock and taskbar icons must be turned on automatically to start to choose, they are not very useful, do not choose and do not affect the normal use.
