DAEMON Tools Lite

daemontoolsDAEMON Tools Lite is a freeware CD/DVD emulation software. If you have lots of CD/DVD images of software and games, you can load it into this software to emulate a virtual DVD drive. This virtual drive can have all the functionalities of a DVD drive. Most games and applications that require the setup DVD to run properly can instead use the emulated drive and the image within it.

One of the best thing about DAEMON Tools Lite is that it supports around 10 different CD/DVD image formats. This include the popular ISO, NRG, CUE etc. And overall, it is a free software, so you can always have it installed. This lite version only supports a maximum of 4 virtual drive. But this is enough for most people.

DAEMON Tools Lite, although limited in features compared to its Pro and Pro Advanced version, does support emulation of CD/DVD protection so that software that rely on these protections can work properly with the emulated CD/DVD too. Currently, it supports SafeDisc, SecuROM, LaserLock and RMPS protections.

Overall, DAEMON tools is a great edition to your list of system tools. Considering the fact that big companies are providing DVD images for their video tutorial and large freeware software.
