If you’re a gamer, there’s nothing more frustrating than having to swap out discs every time you want to play a different game. Luckily, there’s a solution for PC gamers who are tired of this hassle – playing PC games without the disc in the drive. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to make a copy of any PC game and be able to play it without the disc in the drive.
The program we’ll use to do this is called PowerISO, which can be downloaded from their website. Once you’ve downloaded the program, you’ll need to insert the discs that you wish to make a copy of and install the game as you normally would. After it’s installed, you should be able to play it with the disc in the drive.
With the disc still in the drive, open up PowerISO and click on the “Copy” button. A window will pop up where you’ll select the disk drive that your game is in and click “ISO file” to start the copy. After the copy is complete, you’ll have a file that is a complete copy of the entire disc saved as one single file on your computer.
Now, PowerISO will create a pretend disc drive that doesn’t exist. It will use the file you just created to make your computer think there is a disc in this imaginary drive. To do this, go to the “Mount” button and click “Mount image to drive.” If you don’t see this option, go to “Set number of drives” and check one drive. Now, navigate to where you saved the copy of the disc and click it.
You now have a copy of the disc mounted to your imaginary CD drive, and you don’t need to have a physical disc in the actual drive. Try starting the game, and you’ll see that it works without prompting you to insert a disc.
This method should work for almost any game, and we’ve used it quite a few times without any issues. However, as games and technology get more advanced, there may be ways of stopping people from doing this kind of thing. Nevertheless, there will always be ways of getting around security.
In conclusion, playing PC games without the disc in the drive is not only convenient but also easy to achieve with PowerISO. We hope this tutorial has been helpful, and you can enjoy playing your favorite PC games without the hassle of switching discs.
