CD/DVD emulation under linux

[-OLI-]

Hi everybody

 

I'm quite new to Linux and I am eager to try gaming, so far no luck, steam (notably TFC2) isn't working so I thought I could try to install NSF prostreet from the DVD .iso file I have (no question on its acquisition please arhhh :P)

 

I already tried to install daemon tools using WINE, but the installation fails saying that the platform isn't supported. So I'm wondering if there is a way to create a virtual CD/DVD drive.

 

I'm using mandriva 2008 one, I don't think I updated kernels (or anything else actually) all that running on a HP pavilion a700n desktop

 

Thanks in advance

Your best shot should be VMWare/VirtualBox (although they do not fully support DirectX routines), but you can try your luck with AcetoneISO which is emulating a few types of images, and Cedega.

Or get a no-CD/DVD crack and try again with Wine.. but don't hold your breath :)
