Tutorial-sticky for the game section

We need a tutorial or something stickied on how to mount iso's, im getting tired of saying the same thing to people who doesn't know what to do.

thirded. :3
some noobs like me may need help. ^^

EDIT: i too would like KLoWn to make it since he seems soo capable of doing it. :P

Fourthed, even tho i never have made a game upload, i've seen how many people ask for help. I nominate Klown to make it =P

If anyone writes that, make sure you post some screen shots. People are more stupid that you may think. A good written tutorial may not be enough sometimes.

I would do it but I'm horrible when it comes to describing and explaining stuff.

Edit: We already have an Atlas and AGTH guide written by kaimax.

I would gladly write one for Daemon Tools. I have two hours to kill anyways.

Here's a tutorial I just wrote. Is there anything I should add before I post this in the games section?

Daemon Tools Tutorial

Introduction:

[size=10]Daemon Tools is a disk image emulator and optical disc authoring program for Microsoft Windows. A disk image emulator is computer software designed to mount a disk image, usually of a CD or DVD, from a local hard drive or USB flash drive. The mounting is usually done by creating a virtual drive on the system, that to the operating system looks like an ordinary disk drive, in other words disc reading hardware is substituted with disc images.

Daemon Tools is used to run games so you need to have the application open as long as you're playing the game.

The are some of the files supported by Daemon Tools:

- cue/bin
- iso
- ccd (CloneCD file)
- mds (Media Descriptor File)
- cdi (Discjuggler file)
- nrg (Nero file)

There's probably more but those are usually the most popular ones.[/h]

Part 1, Installing Daemon Tools:
[size=10]
- Download Daemon Tools. You can get the latest version from that link.
- Open the .exe file
- Follow the instructions and install the application.
- Start Daemon Tools. A red lightning bolt will appear in the system tray near the clock. This is what you use to work with Daemon Tools.

Part 2, Mouting an image file:

[size=10]Make sure you're trying to install an Image File. If you don't know, you can find out by right clicking the file and checking the properties.

I'm gonna use Discipline as an example because I really love that game.



- Right click the Daemon Tools icon
- Select Virtual CD/DVD-ROM
- Select set numbers of devices...
- Choose and click 1 drive



- Select Device 0: [Drive] No Media
- Select and click mount image



- The open file window will appear. Find the file your trying to mount and click open


- The install screen will appear. If it doesn't, go to My Computer and open the CD manually.
- Install the game and enjoy.

Agreed with this. and most members are pretty tired of hearing a noob say "what's daemon?" "How do you use it?" I'm scared of Daemon cause it gave me virus." :roll:


@Azuran: nah, it's good you don't need to add anything more.

Great then. I'll probably add more once the weird question start popping in.

Awesome, make a thread in there and I will sticky it.

Don't forget to sticky my AGTH Atlas guide in the visual novel section.

:D

Having these tutorial threads will definitely come in handy for those seeking answers to their problems. Unfortunately, from experience, there will still be members who choose to ask instead of looking for the answer themselves via the stickied threads. :roll:

*looks around to see if anybody is nearby*
ah. the close is clear!
NOOB TIME! :3
hehe. i finally know how to run my games!

+rep to Azuran.
(i'll rep you later when i get a chance kaimax.
i never saw your thread until now)

Yes, but instead of having to look around for your paste-canned answer, you can just link to the sticky.
