Paragon CD-ROM Emulator provides access to multiple CD-based applications simultaneously, with over 20 virtual CD-ROM drives available. Users can create ISO9660 compatible images, expanding opportunities for working with CD content.
With CD-ROM Emulator, virtual CDs are simply files stored on the hard disk, ensuring that there is no possibility of loss, dust, scratches, or disruption from rifling through physical CDs or searching for necessary CD titles. The software offers the ability to create up to 23 virtual drives, which is made possible owing to the original emulation technology. The virtual devices delivered by this software are treated like every other physical CD drive by most applications and operating systems. As a result, users can operate several CD-based applications simultaneously, access encyclopedias, maps, games, dictionaries, translators, and even listen to music.
Virtual CDs used on CD-ROM Emulator are actually just image files of real CDs and DVDs. The software offers three options for creating images, namely: copying the contents of real CDs or DVDs (with support for almost all formats), creating an image of a virtual CD from images of separate tracks (audio or data tracks), or composing a data CD from selected files and folders. In data tracks, compression is possible to reduce image file size, and for audio tracks, the "jitter correction" option is available to enhance sound quality. Users can also use any audio codec installed in their operating system to compress audio image.
CD-ROM Emulator offers the option of RAW read mode, which eliminates most of the copy-protections of CDs/DVDs. The import and export functions that the program offers also allow users to exchange track images between CD-ROM Emulator and most CD-burning software, as well as any other application that supports ISO format of data track image.
Overall, CD-ROM Emulator is an essential software utility that offers unrivaled convenience and reliability. It's easy to use and offers considerable benefits, making it the go-to choice for anyone looking to work with virtual CD drives and discs.
