Description
Are you tired of scratching or losing your favorite PC
games and music CDs? Is it annoying to swap CD/DVDs in and out of your
drive and wait for them to load?
Do you hate carrying
around your CDs and DVDs to use on your laptop?
If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then VirtualDrive is
for you!
 |
VirtualDrive
emulates your computer's CD/DVD-ROM drive, which enables you to run
CD & DVD programs directly from your hard drive without the use
of the physical CD/DVD-ROM drive or the actual disc. |
Highlights
How does VirtualDrive work?
|
VirtualDrive
does two basic things: (1) It can copy an entire CD/DVD into a single,
compressed disk-image file that resides on your hard drive, and (2)
It contains a driver that fools Windows into treating the disk-image
file as if it were a physical CD/DVD running in a physical CD/DVD
drive. |
|
VirtualDrive
lets you create up to 23 virtual CD/DVD-ROM drives and an unlimited
number of CD/DVDs. Since you have 23 CD/DVD-ROM drives on your computer
instead of just one, you can run more than one CD/DVD-ROM simultaneously. |
|
So, after you
have installed VirtualDrive, all you have to do is insert the CD/DVD-ROM
disc that you want to copy into your CD/DVD-ROM drive and click 'Build'
on the VirtualDrive interface. In minutes, the virtual image of the
CD/DVD-ROM, called a 'VCD', will appear. To run it, just insert it
into one of your virtual drives. |
Does
VirtualDrive work with DVD movies and copy-protected games?
|
VirtualDrive
works with all four of the major copy protections used on the most
popular CD/DVD-ROM games: SafeDisc, SafeDisc2, Securom and LaserLock.
Most DVD videos are copy-protected using CSS (Content Scrambling System).
DVD videos that do not contain CSS protection will work with VirtualDrive.
|
Why
should I buy VirtualDrive?
|
No
CD/DVD or CD/DVD drive needed to run your programs:
Create up to 23 virtual CD/DVD-ROM drives and an unlimited amount
of CD/DVDs. |
|
Faster
than using a physical CD/DVD-ROM drive:
CDs are played at disk drive speed (equivalent to a 200x CD-ROM) and
FarStone's RapidCache advanced caching technology reduces access time
by 75%. |
|
Compatible
with more games than any other CD emulator software:
Supports the largest number of games on the market today including
copy-protected titles like Grand Theft Auto 3, Madden 2003, WarCraft
3, SimCity 4, Battlefield 1942 and many more. |
|
You can
run more than one CD/DVD-ROM at the same time:
Multiple CD/DVD-ROM applications may be run simultaneously. No need
to exchange discs! |
|
Ideal
for laptops:
Improves battery performance because there is no power drain from
the CD drive being in use. No need to carry your CDs and DVDs with
you because they are already stored on your hard drive. If your laptop
has a multi-bay option, you can remove your CD drive and replace it
with an extra battery or diskette drive. |
|
MP3 Audio
compression:
Choose your favorite CD tracks, create top quality CDs (ripping at
95% compression rate) and listen directly from your hard drive. |
Features
|

virtual CD into VirtualDrive. It runs as if you were using an actual
CD on your physical CD/DVD drive. |
|

into your CD/DVD drive. Click VirtualDrive's "Build" button
