DAEMON-TOOLS
Daemon Tools is an application for advanced copy protection emulation with an implemented virtual dvdrom drive.
It helps you to play copies of nearly every cd available.
It is a further development of Generic Safedisc emulator and incorporates all its features. This program allows running backup copies of SafeDisc (C-Dilla), Securom or Laserlock protected games.
Also included is a virtual dvdrom drive, enabling you to use your cd and dvd images as if they were already burned to disc. Daemon Tools works under w9x/wme/nt4/w2k/wxp with all types of cd and dvdrom drives (IDE/SCSI) and supports nearly any cd protection.

DAEMON Tools supports the following image files:
  • cue/bin (generic cd and dvd)
  • iso (generic cd and dvd)
  • ccd (CloneCD)
  • bwt (Blindwrite)
  • mds (Media Descriptor File)
  • cdi (Discjuggler)
  • nrg (Nero)
  • pdi (Instant CD/DVD)
  • b5t (BlindWrite 5)
