Why I Ditched Daemon Tools/Alcohol 120%


Recommended Posts

You know, it's obvious that you don't want to switch, so why not stop hassling the people in here who do want to use it?

All I need in mounting software is to be able to mount, and unmounted. And apparently, I'm not alone with that. So therefore, this app does what I want, and consequently, it does what they want. This is open and shut, so if you could politely refrain from the DT stuff, that would be nice :)

So I can't discuss on a discussion forum with people who come with outlandish claims which are even false.... or do you just want your other viewpoint visible here.

If he didn't want to use a crippled DT lite, and then choose to use another app instead which is even more crippled by design. I just want to know what features he finds so awesome, despite not existing.

Gee, look at you getting all fired up. I didn't realize we had to have such religious authority to image mounting software that we had to defend their honor. :rolleyes:

Actually, rather than start a war with people, I'd rather people read my first post, you know, where I say all that I wanted from mounting software was to be able to mount, and unmount. I don't want to have to deal with STPD, I don't want to have to restart, I don't want a separate program, and I don't need that many features.

Anyways, continue bickering, see if I care. What matters to me is that I shared something and people found it useful.

And I wasn't dfiscussing with you, I was discussing the topic with someone else in this topic.

As I said, enjoy being fascist about image mounting software, see if I care. I made the polite suggestion that perhaps you should leave it alone, and you still seem to find the need to defend your software of choice. Yeah, you're discussing the topic with someone else, but this is my topic. I made it to help people out, not start a debate :unsure:

Since I apparently am the one who's so religiously overprotective about my software you had to start this argument with me in a completely unrelated thread just because you saw my name in a reply to someone else, I figured I'd bring it back where it belongs. (yes, that's sarcasm)

No, you were mad because he called your beloved DT Lite "crippled" and you were hurt and angry about it. I was annoyed because I didn't put the thread in software discussion because I was offering it as a suggestion for people who only required what I did, which I CLEARLY stated in my first post, but obviously you missed that part.

No I asked him what was so crippled about it, since he chose another software, which by design is more crippled. making his whole argument flawed.

and you posted your "suggestion" on a DISCUSSION forum. meaning other people are allowed to post their opinions and discuss why they should use this over other software that does the same thing, and even more, on the same resources. But hey, I suppose only your opinion should be voiced. and maybe we should instead of discussing the merits of the different softwares in a thread you created talking about how this was apparently better than everything else, we should create a different thread for each softwre with rules that the others can't be mentioned... makes sense....

Seriously, get a grip. and next time you feel the urge to troll me just because you see my name in another unrelated thread where I reply to someone else. just send me a PM or something instead of derailing another thread huh...

Can you use this without installing stuff to context menu's? I absolutely hate apps that install stuff to the context menu.

....That's....the whole point. The app has no GUI. The context menu entry will ONLY show up when you right click any of the supported file formats.

Also a SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive user. Pretty simple and easy as well. I'll give it a look.

Virtual CloneDrive + ImgBurn for me.

Agreed. Both small and easy to use. Got to love ImgBurn. What I don't miss about daemon tools is the irritating driver install. It just got annoying after awhile.

Interesting find, I've been using SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive in-place of Daemon Tools Lite for some time now (only switched because ImgBurn stopped burning correctly). I will definitely check this out. Thanks ;)

That's what I use, really like it, been using since I ran the Windows 7 beta and Daemon Tools wasn't compatible

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design.

Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
