Game Jackel doesn't make CD images; it acts as a generic no-CD patch.

I use Nero6, and yes it writes images to a "virtual image drive" but does not offer a way to use the images.
It does indeed come with one. I'll tell ya how to use it on IRC, since you are there.

Fyron: I already knew how to make images using "Image Recorder" and I've done it in the past to make multiple burns of discs. But try as I may, I can find nothing in Nero that lets me "mount" an image as Drive n: and spin it up.

On a related note, I found a GREAT FREEWARE PROGRAM that seems to work flawlessly. I haven't checked into CPU/RAM-hogging or anything, but I was able to game freely in Combat Flight Sim and Freespace II.

You can use that Nero Imagedrive program we talked about. Its pretty easy: set up a drive with it, then either mount the image in the program or by right clicking on the drive in Explorer. I forget the exact mechanism Nero uses. You left before I could tell you that part.
