So many Computer gaves, so few disk drives.

Post by Crossroads Inc. »

A while back my Partner built me a PC specially made to play lots of old PC games I could never play on my Mac, or never came out for the mac. I have tons of games and really enjoy playing them, but I have a conumdrum. The computer has one CD drive, as most do, and I have lots and lots of game CD's. My problem is, in the process of swapping one CD to another, I'll put a CD in another tray, misplace it, etc. Is there SOME sort of way to load game data from a CD into a computer so I don't NEED to be swaping around a dozen different game CD's?

Create disc images and mount them on a virtual drive.

Most games should have no-disc hacks available on the internet. Just look for one of those, install it and you're good to go. I did this pretty much every time I bought a retail PC game.
