Setting up games without a physical disc player
Setting up games without a physical disc player
I recently assembled a new computer and found it lacks space for an optical drive. I opted for an external one, but it doesn’t seem to function well with Windows 8 despite claiming compatibility. I also have another desktop in my home equipped with an internal optical drive, but I’m wondering if there are alternative methods to install disk-based games.
Using Deamon Tools Lite allows you to generate a desktop image of the optical drive. Place the resulting .iso file on another computer and employ Deamon Tools once more to create a virtual drive that mounts the ISO, effectively simulating the disk on that PC. This setup enables you to install the game as if it were physically present.
