[OPLINTECH] GCPL: CD emulator software

[T. Mason]

We've set up farstone with group policies and profiles that work
fine with the CD-ROM portion, but it's the games that seem to have
issues with XP.  We couldn't get harry potter to work after copying
the CD-ROM to the computer's virtual CD-ROM.  Also some of the win95
games bombed.

We haven't used the toolkit since we use protected profiles on the
server.

 

I don't remember the cost on Farstone, but it was not that much for
the library to buy from us, or you can buy direct.

Some years ago we hacked the Gates computers to create a YA computer
using Paragon CD-ROM Emulator which, in simple terms, created
virtual drives for a number of young adult orientated games.

I'm wondering if anyone else has done this, and if anyone could
recommend a virtual CD creator that plays nice with both XP and the
Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit?

TIA
