Hi I love this site and use many of the programs listed here.
Anyway I realise there is already a program of this type i.e. "Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel" however I believe WinCDEmu would be better.
I found this on their website indicating that
"WinCDEmu includes a kernel driver for virtual CD bus. Without having the driver installed, no machine will be able to mount the images. Installing the driver every time for the image and uninstalling afterwards would cause ~30sec. delays for every image, that is not feasible."
I believe that waiting 30 seconds is hardly that long a time to wait, if there is no difference in speed when the image once loaded. I wonder if there anyone with the skills who agrees and wouldn't mind checking it out.
Cheers regardless.
