So I've managed to get hold of an old version of Daemon Tools and I'm considering to install it on my computer to see if I can get TurboGrafx CD (Magic Engine or Ootake) to work, since I really love shoot 'em ups. It is the only CD-based system that I've tried to get to work that I still hasn't succeeded with. I have a few questions though that perhaps somebody on this forum would know the answers to. The Daemon Tools version is an old one, because from what I've read Daemon Tools was bought ought by someone else who afterwards added adware\spyware to that did not always give the user the ability to opt out of it during installation. Such a questionable practice leads me to suspect that if the current developers wanted they could add more hidden and malicious types of spyware\trojans in the executable. Since Daemon Tools is in itself a rootkit, albeit a benevolent one, it would be easy to hide something extra within it, that would not be easy to discover. That's why I have downloaded an old version of it (3.47) that is from the time before it was bought by the new developers. But being so old, possible from 2005, could installing this program cause issues on my fairly new Windows 7 computer? This is my main computer and not a cabinet I use only for playing games, so I am more cautious about what I install on it than I would be if this was a gaming PC only. Are there any other problems that could arise by using such an old piece of software that does go deep down into windows? Any know exploits of Daemon Tools drivers used by hackers? Is this old version of Daemon Tools itself supported by GameEx, or is only more recent versions supported? Would I have any other option than installing this program? Maybe a disk image program will be included in GameEx Revolution? I have tried Virtual CloneDrive although with no success. Sega CD (Kega Fusion), PlayStation (ePSXe) and Gamecube (Dolphin) all works great through GameEx. PlayStation 2 (PCSX2) only works outside of GameEx, but I haven't really looked into the issue, so it's probably just some small thing that needs to be corrected.
