Version: Alcohol 52% 1.9.5.3
"Good program, but there are freewares that do the same thing."
Pros: For those of you who don't understand this program, it's used to "emulate" a data drive so that you can use files in a burned format without needing to burn them. Basically, a DVD/CD burned has cue, bin, iso, etc files that you can't just click and play like exe, wav, mp3 files etc. They're in a specific format that can only be read by disk drives. Before programs like this, you had to take these files and burn them to cd/dvds and then run them from the phsyical cd or dvd. Now, you simply "mount" these files (called image files, but don't be confused, they're not pictures), onto virtual drives and access them as if the cd/dvd was burned.
Cons: This isn't free. Other tools like Daemon are free. However, I know people who SWEAR BY ALCOHOL as their only virtual drive emulator.

Version: Alcohol 52% 1.9.5.3
"Works with copy protected games"
Pros: I tried several top cnet-rated games and none of them would work with my copy-protected CDs. Alcohol 52% is definately worth the money if you have a lot of toddler games and your toddler doesn't know how to load CDs yet (or you don't want them to).
Cons: I wish it cost a little less, but you get what you pay for.
