How do I use ISOs?

[Naylia]

Is there a good thread around here discussing loading Daemon tools ISOs? Do any skins have a good example of this implemented? What's the process? I see the area to designate the Dameon Tools install and which drive letter it uses but I don't see any events or such that would take advantage of it. Help!?!

it works as a real dvd or media file. Just add ISO,IMG to the file tab and the event to go with it (execute movie).
xlobby will automatically mount the iso and then execute the play command like it is a dvd (and it is!)

hence I can get it to insert game cds and they will autoplay..cool

so i don't need to specify the program and such in the file types tab, just an event?

Well, the program in the file tab is the event that will execute! But I guess u could only use the start,offline,end event in there.

what are u trying to do? Just automaount and autostart a cd?

That's what I was trying to figure out....if I put the path to daemon tools in the FileTypes tab then what is the purpose of the Daemon Tools box on one of the other pages?

I just want to automount and then autostart pc games

*no do not put the deamon tools in the file tab
*try to add f:\autorun.inf (where f is your deamon drive) in the filetab section. this file usually exist in games and so. This way when u press the button in xlobby with the event execute xxxx, it will mount the iso and run the autorun.inf
