Alcohol 120%, any program like it that'll run on GNU/Linux?
A program like Alcohol 120% that'll let you create virtual drives so you can run games and other software without having to insert the disk. If nothing else, what about Alcohol 120% under Wine? I imagine it'd be sluggish, that's if it works at all.

Do a search for the command mkisofs
or man mkisofs
--Shade
PS- I think it's pretty nifty that you can do many things in linux without 3d party apps like the one mentioned above. It's a nominal thing I don't even think about anymore.

To create an iso file from existing cd, you can just copy the cd, that is:
Code:
cp /dev/cdrom foo.iso

Wow, I never realised creating a cdrom image was THAT easy.
Shade- your PS is very true and that's just one of the things I love about Linux.

Creating an ISO image is easy... but ISOs don't have all the extra data that the Alcohol 120% mds/mdf image format does; stiff like bad sectors, subchannel data, MPS data, that kinda thing. Which means that anything with half-decent copy-protection just plain won't work.
Which kinda still leaves the original question: anyone know of something that can read (and emulate all features of) the Alcohol Media Descriptor images? (or clonecd images, as long as you don't need RMPS emulation)
