Right I have a load of games that require CD's to load such as Far Cry. I just need someone to recommend a program that can make an image of the CD and one that can run said image, purely so I dont have to go look for the damn CD every time I want to play. Cheers.

Alcohol 120% to make an image and Daemon to make a virtual drive.

Using whole images isn't a good idea, you'd be much better to have a look for mini-images to run your games as they can be around 4meg rather than 4gig for a dvd image.

I have a feeling that Nero should be able to create disc images, i'm just not sure how...

Edit: Figured it out.

Edit2: Damn copyright protection, process failed :S

Now Alcohol 120% just reports a feck load of errors when I try :S

NVM, apparently this is normal with some games, and apparantly the iso's work fine...

Have you had a look on the net for patches which remove the CD requirement?

I had one for Far Cry, worked a treat.

Aye that would work a treat, but half the time I end up with viruses from them, and theyre rather unscrupilous sites...
