Auto load in deamon tools

[alex_sf]

Hello everybody!

Can someone plese post in a text a code for a .bat file wich will load specified image in to deamon tools and than launches the game.
If possible, also was wondering if there a way to add to this .bat a code line wich will disable cd drive and after game being closed make it active back again.


THX a lot in advance!

I'm using the following DTM.BAT to mount images in Daemon Tools. Use without any command line parameter to unmount the current image.

@echo off
set DTOOLSPATH=E:\PROGRAMS\DTOOLS
if `%1` == `` goto unmount
  start %DTOOLSPATH%\daemon -mount 0,%1
  goto end
:unmount
  start %DTOOLSPATH%\daemon -unmount 0
:end
set DTOOLSPATH=

Daemon Tools 4.10 has the shell option implemented. Thought you'd like to hear about it

[Joe Forster/STA]

Yes, this batch file is already using the command line options of Daemon Tools that have been available for years; I don't understand what you mean...

I meant - former DT 4.08 didn't have a shell extension for loading up an image. Now you can right click on an .ISO or w.e. and mount it from shell right-click-menu

And this thread is about automated batch files...

Instead of writing a .bat file, I mentioned a very nice alternative Much more ergonomic and faster. But ok, be it as it may...

Do you not understand what this thread is about?! This thread is about automizing, to get rid of the necessity of clicking here and there, launching this and that program manually, opening this and that file and pushing this and that button every time before playing with a game (that runs with a mini image mounted and the physical CD/DVD drives disabled). At least, read the damn original post!

As for your comment on ergonomicness and high speed, you have a very strange view of the world; feel free to keep wasting your time with clicking around in GUI's but let others do their jobs effectively by using (custom) software to automize repeated, boring and easily algorithmizable tasks! (Next time, you're gonna create a "trainer" for game X by publishing a document that describes how to use a debugger and find the life energy value in that game so that you never die. Why not write a program instead? Because fooling around with a debugger is "much more ergonomic and faster", especially if the process is a bit different every time you run the game... Yeah, ergonomic and fast my ass!)

Enjoy your batch files then. Out of this thread (/me hits eject button...oops, shoulda made a .bat)
