Virtual CD/DVD-Rom

GameJackal Pro 4.0.1.9 Beta / 4.0.1.7 Final

Description

The ultimate must have killer application for the PC gamer!

Game Jackal Pro is the ultimate "must have" killer app for the PC gamer! If you, like most gamers, find it annoying looking for and inserting the CD-ROM for your favorite game each time you play it, then Game Jackal Pro is for you.

Keeping your gaming investment safe: One major concern gamers have is the CD's life span. The CD-ROM for a popular game may be inserted and removed many hundreds of times, this of course leads to the inevitable "Unable to read" error and ultimately a trip to the trash.

Unleash your games and go gaming "cd free" in seconds: Using Game Jackal Pro eliminates the need to insert the CD-ROM before playing your favorite title, therefore allowing you to fire up your favorite game in seconds.

Easy to use: Game Jackal Provides the user with a powerful and easy to use interface to go gaming "cd free". It does this without modifying any of your game's files or installing any virtual drives on your system. Simply select the game you want to play from the Game Jackal Pro interface, or create a desktop shortcut for even faster access.

Image mode: Image mode adds support for games that need to stream data directly from the CD or DVD during game play.

Keep young eyes from playing games that may not right for them: Game Jackal Pro comes complete with a feature called Guardian Control, this feature allows restrictions to be placed on game profiles.

Young gamers can make short work of a game CD: Being able to pack away the game CD has proven to be extremely popular with parents of young gamers, where a game can be destroyed in weeks!

There's no other product like it: The simple fact is that Game Jackal Pro stands alone. There's no other product on the market that delivers the flexibility and functionality that Game Jackal Provides.

Guardian Control
Ok... so Game Jackal Provides you with a way to protect game CD's from the little hands of a young gamer, but how do we then stop these same young gamers from playing games that may not be appropriate?
Game Jackal Pro contains a very unique and powerful feature called Guardian Control, this allows a game profile to be password protected thereby ensuring that only specific users (i.e. those knowing the password) can play the game. And because your CD-ROM's are now put away for safe keeping, there's no fear of accidentally leaving a disc in the drive for a young gamer to find.
So now that we have limited what a young gamer can play, wouldn't it be great if we could limit when games could be played? Well once again Game Jackal Pro provides a way... Guardian Control also allows rules to be created that detail when and how long games can be played. These rules can be as simple as defining a time (i.e. between 6:30PM and 8:30PM) during the week days in which games can be played to complex rules that involve many periods in which a young person can go gaming.

Important note:
There are a few things to note when running Game Jackal under Windows Vista.
The first being that, although Game Jackal is compatible with Windows Vista, most games currently on the market are not fully compatible. This can cause issues when creating and using Game Jackal profiles.
If you experience problems under Vista, we recommend that you try the following (in the order listed).
1) Make sure the game has been patched with the latest updated available.
2) Run Game Jackal as administrator. To do this right-click the Game Jackal icon, select "Properties", followed by the "Compatibilty" tab. Then check "Run this program as administrator".
3) If you still experiencing problems, turning off UAC will fix most issues (we only recommend this option for experienced users).

Here are some key features of "GameJackal Pro":

· Create profiles right from the desktop with the new "One-click" profile creation option. Simply right-click any game icon on you desktop (or anywhere else for that matter) and select "Convert to Game Jackal Profile", a much simplified creation wizard guides you through a 2 step process.
· Unused profiles can now be moved to an archive section allowing you to keep only your current favorites in the "My Game Profile" section.
· A new "plug-in" interface is now available, this allows third-party developers to create plug-ins for Game Jackal Pro.

BoxedApp Packer 2.2.0.22

Description

Pack your program and third-party dependencies in a single executable file

BoxedApp Packer is an application created to help you compress your regular applications to self-sustaining executable files that don't require the installation in order to be run. That literally means that you can squeeze all ActiveX controls, dynamic libraries, and just all kinds of files that your original application depends on into a single executable file and run it just as if that was a regular application installed the regular way.

Packed in a single binary, your applications become ultra-mobile and can be run instantly from a removable disk or from a network location. Installation-free applications would carry their original functionality and be capable of utilizing the full power of your PC. At the same time, they wouldn't require any special privileges or affect shared computer resources, such as disk space or registry, as all embedded objects would be extracted directly into memory and utilize virtual space and registry instead of the physical ones.

Even further the functionality of your single-executable applications could be expanded by adding plugins to them. Plugins take advantage of a special API - BoxedApp SDK API, which allows creating virtual files "on the fly", working with the virtual registry, and a lot more. For instance, your application, when it starts, could load necessary DLL over network or through the Internet and then use them as if they were physically available on your hard drive. BoxedApp Packer is the way to making your software light, mobile and truly flexible

Requirements:

· Windows 2000 or highe
