GameDrive 10 is a CD emulator that copies a CD or DVD as a compressed image, or "virtual disc," which can be played in place of the original disc, directly on the hard drive.
    
Because a hard drive has much faster access times than a CD-ROM drive, GameDrive acts like an electronic supercharger with playback up to 200 times faster than that of physical discs. This makes GameDrive a must-have utility where disc performance matters, as with PC games.
    
Virtual discs can be easily stored and transported on a laptop computer, a USB device, or on any just about any other digital storage medium. Using the up to 23 "virtual drives" that GameDrive creates, you can run multiple games simultaneously, easily swapping out games without having to handle physical discs or wait for disc spinup.

GameDrive supports more PC games than any other CD emulator, including such titles as Madden 2006, Dungeon Siege, Sacred Gold, Advent Rising, and Doom 3. Its optional Live Update service ensures access to the most up-to-date game support, software patches, and fixes.

HOW GAMEDRIVE WORKS

GameDrive copies a CD or DVD into a compressed disc-image file, or virtual disc. A driver in the software fools Windows into treating the virtual disc as a physical disc in a CD-ROM drive. With GameDrive, you can create up to 23 virtual drives (D: through Z:) and an unlimited number of virtual discs.

Once a CD has been copied, a virtual image of that disc appears in the GameDrive interface. To launch it, you insert it into an open virtual drive or double click on a desktop shortcut to the file. With up to 23 virtual drives available instead of just one physical CD/DVD-ROM drive, you can run several virtual discs simultaneously, swapping out PC games without having to wait for spinup times.
