Burning!

Right i've got an old skool PC game, in .RAR format. I've unzipped it all and saved it to a seperate file but i don't know how to burn it to a CD. Can anyone throw me some advice on this?

I've got winrar and deamon tools already, btw.

What game?

magicISO will turn the unpacked files into a ISO and then you can mount with deamon tools / burn to CD using something like imgburn/nero etc etc.

I'll try using magicISO now then. It's Discworld btw

magicISO trial version can't create an .ISO that's over 300kb

ImgBurn will.

Right, got my .ISO now. What's the best way to make it playable without burning it to a CD?

Mount it using Daemon tools, and it should play as if it was in your cd drive.

EDIT: here's a simple tutorial on it. http://www.digital-digest.com/articles/mount_watch_iso_files_page1.html

I think you can use Game Jackal. You'll need to do your own research though, as I am not 100%.

You could also look at Virtual Clone Drive.

i always use imgburn, its the most user friendly iso program.
also as iamdjdz says, mount the image with daemon tools lite (its free) if you dont want to insert disk every time you play
here is guide for imgburn
