Virtual Drives

Information

RocketLauncher supports all the popular CLI-supported virtual drive applications out there for windows. It is your choice to use what you want, but be careful to pick one that can mount the image extension types you use. Some do not support cue and that is usually a requirement in this hobby as many sets use them.

Supported Virtual Drive Applications

Alcohol

Supported Extensions:

b5t,b6t,bin,bwt,ccd,cdi,cue,iso,isz,mds,mdx,nrg,pdi

Installation Notes:

1. Needs to be a registered copy otherwise you will get a nag screen on each use
2. When installing, leave checkbox enabled "Add Alcohol Virtual Drive at first run"
3. Start Alcohol and goto View -> Options -> General. Uncheck all the options there.

Installation Notes:

1. Computer needs to be restarted after installing PowerISO
2. In PowerISO, goto Options -> Configuration. Then click the Virtual Drive tab. Set number of virtual drives to 1.
3. For your 1 virtual drive in the same window above, click Drive 0 in the letter assignment box and give it your preferred drive letter. It is safe to close PowerISO now.
4. In RocketLauncherUI, set General Settings -> Third Party -> Virtual Drive Path to point to piso.exe, not PowerISO.exe. (piso.exe is the CLI application)
5. In RocketLauncherUI, set General Settings -> Third Party -> Virtual Drive Drive Letter to match what you set your virtual drive letter to above.

Virtual CD

Supported Extensions:

b5i,bin,bwi,c2d,img,iso,mdf,nrg,vc4,xmf

Virtual CloneDrive

Supported Extensions:

bin,ccd,cdi,dvd,img,iso,udf

Installation Notes:

1. In RocketLauncherUI, set General Settings -> Third Party -> Virtual Drive Path to point to VCDMount.exe
2. Manually run VCDPrefs.exe first so the registry keys are created for you. RocketLauncher will do this for you if you forget, but don't rely on it.

Unsupported Virtual Drive Applications

Daemon Tools 10

Reason:

There does not appear to be support for mounting and unmounting an image via CLI

UltraISO

Reason:

There does not appear to be support for mounting and unmounting an image via CLI. The only thing that exists is to build an iso through CLI, not simple mounting and unmounting
