iso games?

An ISO Game is simply an "image" of a CD.
An ISO Image is a file that not only contains the files and other data from a CD, as well it contains where and how said data is recorded to the medium; ie CD.
ISO Simply stands for International Standards Organization, and ISO files may also come with other extensions and formats, (BIN & CUE, IMG, etc...).
in order to use a ISO file, You would need to do one of three things:
1.  Mount the Image with an appropriate program. Unfortunately I'm unaware of any universal mounting    programs for Win9x/NT/2K/XP
2.  Open the Image file with an appropriate program.
      "WinISO" for example
3.  Record the Image to a CD-R(W)

As for being able to tell an ISO Image from other files, the extension is always a sure-fire way.
Here's the URL to a site for info on most cd related issues.

To add to my prev. comment:

ISO is not an actual file type mind you, it is simply a CD filesystem used for the data.

Just a comment. You might wnat to be careful since many ISO's are illegal. Not all, but alot.

ISO itself is a standard of medium for replication of data. The contents of the Disc Image can be illegal if one does not own a license to that piece of software. Otherwise if you own a license and you are given permission to have a copy it is not illegal. Potentially all ISO's could be legal to you, but as the EULA of the software states, you may not be entitled to a copy other than the manufactured CD or distribution medium.

Try downloading a program called Daemon tools that lets you take the iso files and make your computer already think they are on a disk so you can run the iso files from your hard drive to set them up instead of recording them to a cd..

yeah thats exactly what i was talking about :)

It looks like the image part is explained well enough - but here is some more for you.


get Newsbin Pro
Find a good usenet server - subscription ones work best.
get winrar
get smart par
then goto
alt.binaries.games
alt.binaries.cd.image.games

and so forth -

Read the NFO

think of iso as zip... an iso is a whole cd 'zipped'
To 'unzip' it, use a program like ISOBuster or something similar
Use Kazaa or similar programs to find ISO's.

You'll know if its an ISO games because it will be called 'Filename.ISO'

www.daemon-tools.org

when the site comes back up, use that. at the moment, search on google for "daemon332.exe"
