Developer’s Description

By Jacal Consulting

Play games on your PC without inserting a single CD.

Using your game's original CD or DVD, Game Jackal can create a profile that enables you to play your favorite games directly from the hard drive. Once a profile has been created the CD or DVD can then be put away for safe keeping, protecting your gaming investment for years to come and ensuring hunting for and inserting a game's disc is a thing of the past. You'll find yourself playing more games, more often, now there is no need to hunt down that elusive game CD. Other great Game Jackal features include: Guardian Control, dictate when and what games are played by the younger family members. Faster game startup, games jump to life once profiled with Game Jackal.

Version 2.8.16.445 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Pros
This program is setup for nothing but success. It's far too easy to use, and the interface is flawless. I really recommend to everyone who has quite a game collection to get this. I won't miss changing out my CD's anymore.
Cons
The one thing I don't like about it is it wasn't around 10 years ago. lol
Summary
Works very well

Pros
I have just purchased Game Jackal Pro after a brief trial and I can tell you that it works extremely well. So far I have 7 games working (including BF2, FEAR, Oblivion) and all without a problem. The great thing is how many different games I'm playing in a session, being able to jump from one game to the next without inserting a cd is just great.
Cons
Maybe the ability to change the view type in floating window mode, but other than that there's nothing to note.

Ok I Guess.

Pros
Interface and controls are very easy to use. And thats it. Managed to copy Battle For Middle Earth. but was jerky and annoying.
Cons
Well it only managed to copy one of 6 games, which although are high spec and newly released gave a big dissapointment. The games that didn't work were:Oblivion, Battlefront 2, COD 2, MoH Pacific Assault, King Kong and Area 51. Download if you're games are CDs and not newly released.
Summary
Outstanding!

Pros
It was easy to use - Simple instructions - I tested this with EP3 Sims2 O.F.B. - No Problems. Make custom profile - Add the Executable from your game files - Run the Game CD once to scan....and VIOLA! <p>No more need to insert CD to play. :)
