Daemon Tools 4.09.1 X64 64 Bit

DAEMON tools was originally a successor of Generic SafeDisc emulator and incorporated all of its features.[10] The program claims to be able to defeat most copy protection schemes such as SafeDisc and SecuROM.[11] It is currently compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. DAEMON Tools has a special mode for proper operation of copies of discs with advanced protection (SafeDisc, SecuRom and LaserLock, CDCOPS, StarForce and Protect CD), which are used on some discs with games.[12]
The default file format of DAEMON Tools is Media Data eXtended (MDX). MDX is a disc image file format similar to MDS/MDF images. It supports all of MDS/MDF format features except that all data is in one monolithic file only. The files of these types bear the filename extension of .mw-parser-output .monospacedfont-family:monospace,monospace.mdx.[21]
On 13 February 2012, one of DAEMON Tools components known as MountSpace became a subject of privacy concerns. MountSpace, a service-oriented component gathers and sends information about disc images used in DAEMON Tools to mountspace.com along with users' IP addresses. Although MountSpace can be disabled during installation, it is criticized for transmitting information despite being disabled and lacking a privacy policy.[22][23][24][25] The initial discovery of the concerning issue is attributed to Rafael Rivera of Within Windows blog.[22][24][25]
YASU (Yet Another SecuROM Utility) is a very small tool that works as a SCSI-drive protector. It was created by sYk0 and can be used to hide emulated drives from SecuROM 7 and SafeDisc 4. YASU is a companion program for Daemon Tools and currently being hosted, supported and maintained by the Daemon Tools team. On March 4 of 2009, sYk0 announced development of Omen which is to succeed development of YASU.[26] As of January 2010, development of Omen has been abandoned.[27]

I've recently installed Daemon Tools 3.4.7 to simulate CDs (MY Half Life disc is scratched to hell and I'm not sure it will hold up anymore)
and have tried to play games with CD Audio, like Half Life and Quake, for example. Music works fine in CD player, but doesn't work in-game.
I have a hardware CD-ROM drive, and music comes out fine through it.
I suspected that the hardware CD-ROM was considered "First, and after trying out, it did play music, but only when the CD-ROM drive was first in letter arrangement compared to Daemon Tools. But changing the letters so that the virtual drive pops up first doesn't solve my problem.
98SE, I presume? If installing WDM drivers for your sound card is an option, that would allow you to enable digital audio extraction without analog cables or any kind of analog emulation by Daemon Tools.
98SE, I presume? If installing WDM drivers for your sound card is an option, that would allow you to enable digital audio extraction without analog cables or any kind of analog emulation by Daemon Tools. If it's a game specfic problem, make sure you're using the lowest optical drive letter and that it matches the game installation source drive.
I've got Carmageddon that is badly scratched too. While running it with daemon tools, music doesn't work. However if I put the CD in the drive and start the game with the image loaded in daemon tools, the game will load music from the CD. I discovered that if you happen to have two cd drives with only one wired to the sound card, then if you put another game in the CD drive that have analog audio wired up and the wanted game in the other drive, it will read the game's data from the correct drive, however the music will be read from the other CD drive ?
And also another odd fact : on my computers my sound card doesn't use WDM drivers, and on most games I don't have music. But here's the thing : when I run RE-Volt, the music plays ! Why ? I have absolutely no idea ! Maybe because mine is in some sort of nero's format, but I've never tried that
Now that I think about it, I installed the VxD drivers because the WDM drivers from the Windows 98SE CD didn't work with Doom's music and only produced sound effects. I can try to find a more recent version of the WDM driver
As has been noted: the game may be looking for audio CD tracks in the lowest optical drive letter. If you have the disc in drive D, for example, but your Daemon Tools drive is E, then it may only look for the audio tracks in drive D. The game originates from a time when it was not expected that people would have multiple optical drives.
You might be able to edit the executable to fix the detection routine (sort of like in _06_01_archive.html ). Or you can just change your drive letters so your Daemon Tools drive is D and your real optical drive is E.
I could be wrong, but I remember from my early days of Visual Basic programming
that some applications did use MCI commands to control the CD drive (which often was the first and only one).
When this happened, the audio was played by the drive itself (thus an audio cable was required).
No idea, if there do exist some wrappers now to "fix" that or if some CD emulators can handle that.
The last time I heard of MCI was when it already was considered deprecated.
Is using a WDM-Driver the only way? That means no Win95?
I have tested it and the mounted audio-cd with deamon-tools 3.47 plays fine under win95, but only if I switch back to the windows-desktop while running the game,
going back to the game, cd-audio is instantly muted. could that not be fixed by hacking a mixer-setting?
I checked everything, but I can't find a way to de-mute the playing cd-audio.
If there is no chance for that, I have to check out what this can do for me, but I expect nothing, because there are not really much games supported,
mostly the are unkown to me... I would love to play POD, OUTCAST, etc. with CD-Audio from a mounted ISO other my NAS within Win95b.
I ended up just burning CD-Rs with games which have CD-Audio and don't play them from within Daemon Tools. Most of them are DOS games, but also Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire and, surprisingly, Half-Life.
To get this to work correctly is proving difficult. You need the Daemon tools virtual drive assigned with D: drive letter to start. You can then mount an image (e.g. CUE) and opening CD player plays the game track corretly. In games the CD audio also works, however it causes game stuttering quite badly. Turning off the CD audio, the stuttering stops.
I am using VXD audio drivers with the SB 16, WDM would stop FM working so not really an option. I have tried having the game image mounted on a USB2 stick and this morning on my second HDD. Whereever the image is mounted the stuttering happens so its nothing like USB speed.
My SB 16 has the CD audio cable wired to my CD drive (E:) when I use the CD there is no stuttering. Also, some games seem to work fine with no stuttering from a mounted image (Aliens vs Predator for example)
I downloaded Daemon tools from the official site (the first one that comes up in google, its www.daemon-tools.cc/eng/downloads) and when I clicked the download link Norton said that the site I was downloading the exe from was a known malicious site (something like soft24.com). It was talking about the mirror that was actually serving the file.
Unfortunately anti-virus software is not the smartest piece of software out there, and is really an annoyance to most Super Users. Although anti-virus software is necessary for keeping your PC safe, the user must realize that all "threats" it detects may not really be a threat. Daemon tools is a safe piece of software and is used by many.
I am running carbon-cache.py and carbon-aggregator.py using daemon tools. When I made some changes in the storage-schema.conf and tried to restart the carbon-cache.py, I found that it is becoming zombie very frequently.
