Is your PC surrounded by piles of loose CDs and DVDs? Paragon CD-ROM Emulator may help reduce the clutter.

In just a couple of mouse clicks the Emulator Manager can add a virtual CD drive to your PC. Use the Grab Wizard to make an image of virtually any CD or DVD, and drag and drop that image onto your virtual drive. Now point any game, media player or other application at the new drive, and it will work as normal. Meanwhile the real disc can go back in its box and be put away somewhere, safe from scratches or accidental damage.

There's more to the CD-ROM Emulator than convenience, though. It'll boost the performance of applications that frequently access a CD or DVD, because hard drives are much faster. And laptop owners will benefit as they won't have to carry their discs around, while less use of an optical drive should mean longer battery life.

Paragon CD-ROM Emulator even comes with a range of handy CD and DVD burning tools. The Construct Wizard creates a valid ISO image from selected files, as though they'd been grabbed from a real CD or DVD; the Burn Wizard burns images to disc, while the Erase Wizard clears data from rewritable CDs or DVDs.

Note ignore the ‘time limited demo’ reference on this page. This is the full commercial download and does not require further registration.
