Fantom CD is a program for reading CDs and running CD programs without a CD by creating a virtual CD-ROM drive on the hard disk using software methods. This emulator allows you to run CD-ROM applications from your hard drive or network server. In your hard drive space, you can establish and access up to 31 different virtual CD-ROM drives.

From the moment you use it, there is no more need to search CD-ROMs or load CD-ROMs in the drive. There is no need to wait for the CD-ROM drive to run, either. You also do not need to change the CD-ROM to run another application. You can also use it to record the image files to empty CD-R disc.

    This one can make ALL the virtual drives as you want, Daemon can just make 4 drives.
    So thats pretty much the reason i use FantomCD, after all...all virtual CD/DVD appz is pretty much the same, so go for the extra features..

    Why listed now ? Ok. First of all program is A+.
    But 1860 was posted to the website back in June 11.
    Yes, I must tell you that FantomCD has tendency to cry out
    a new build to beta news as part of advertisement or something even though there is no new beta or build. This must be stoppedl. But I say, program is A+. But stop using
    Beta news to get attention !

    This was the first virtual cd program I used until I found Daemon Tools which is easier to use in my opinion (no need to mount and then load the image in two separate steps).

    Certainly useable, but I still prefer DaemonTools.

    I liked this program a lot. Unlike similar products used (FastCD a long time a go, VirtualCD) this program actually has a good user interface. Secondly it reads just about any CD-image format thrown at it. i.e ISO, CloneCD, BlindWrite, etc. Being a fan of BlindSuite, I found this very appealing.
    i have BlindWrite images of about every program or game-CD I own stored on my harddrive. It is great to just be able to mount one of these images and access the files on it.
    I have not yet tested it's own burn/read capabilities enough, but a small test with its nuilt in image-creator told me to stick to BlindSuite. This wil probably be improved.
