Using the 'Additional Apps' Feature to Mount ISOs

[Ragadorus]

For those of us that have PC games that require the disk to be inserted - in my case, Oblivion, as the latest version still needs a disk and I don't have it on Steam - we can use applications to create an ISO of the disk and then mount it in a virtual drive, to tell the game that the disk is inserted in a drive. Of course, this is kind of a pain to have to do whenever I want a play session, so I was wondering if it would be possible to use the 'Additional Apps' feature to have WinCDEmu mount the .ISO file prior to launching the game.

Indeed it is possible, Ragadorus. I have not done it with WinCDEmu, but I do it with Daemon Tools without a problem. Maybe someone else can chime in on WinCDEmu.

Years and years later, using WinCDEmu just use the "batchmnt <image>" or "batchmnt64 <image>" to mount your image and then use "batchmnt /unmountall" to unmount it afterwards. This program can be found in the same directory as WinCDEmu.
