To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Freespace 2 you mean? For Daemon tools, just right click on the icon in your taskbar (near your clock.) Go to "Virtual Devices" and then Device 0 and then Mount Image, from here you should be able to select the .iso file.

If you have any game or program with mutliple discs you will need to create a virtual device to mount the cd/dvd on for each image. And even if you mount them most cd/dvds will require a NOCD crack to work.

Gunny, here's the Help page for Daemon Tools Lite: http://www.daemon-help.com/general_use_lite.html

Using Daemon Tools Lite is pretty easy if you understand "disk images" -- so easy that you can probably run it and right-click the icon and figure it out. However, if disk images are a new concept for you... then you will have a bit of a learning curve. Be patient and work through the help pages... they explain what you need to know (although they use enough jargon to be confusing).

Short Version:

An "image" is a file, on your hard disk, that is an exact copy of another disk (in this case, a CD).

You create image(s) of your Freelancer CD(s) using your favorite CD burning tool.

Then you use Daemon Tools to "mount" the image. When mounted your computer will see the image as a new disk drive. It will then behave as if you have the CD in a CD drive in your computer.

Note that your mounted image will have a different drive letter than your real CD drive.

If you still have trouble, find a teenager to help! (Or just ask on the Daemon Tools forum).

PS: We all wish that there was a Freelancer 2! It doesn't really matter, though, because Daemon Tools works the same way for any kind of disk image.
