About This File
Simply put, it's a plugin for virtual drive loaders. It currently supports Daemon Tools, Alcohol, and Virtual Clone Drive natively. The plugin also supports GameEx's Roms In 7-zip and Roms In Subfolders options, making it your only native choice for these features if you use them. Some other features for the plugin include:
Emulator Specific Setup
- Select the emulator you wish to use the loader on from the drop down menu
- Set up your mount and unmount commands
- If you don't have this set up the fields will populate based on found mounting software
Headless Mode
- Add switches to the GameEx emulator command-line to bypass the emulator configuration
- Using [DTLOADER] or [DTOOLS] in the emulator's CL will mount using the default drive
- Using [DTLOADER-SCSI] or [DTOOLS-SCSI] in the emulator's CL will mount using the default SCSI drive
- Using [DTLOADER-IDE] or [DTOOLS-IDE] in the emulator's CL will mount using the default IDE drive
- Using [ALCOHOL] in the emulator's CL will mount using the default Alcohol drive (both 52% and 120% are supported)
- Using [CLONEDRIVE] in the emulator's CL will mount using the default Virtual Clone Drive drive
-
Using [MAGICISO] or [MAGICDISC] in the emulator's CL will mount using the default MagicISO/MagicDisc drive
NOTE: If you installed these programs using the default options, no setup is needed for Headless Mode to work
