I knew it was too good to be true...

Back to the subject, of course you can also use some disk image emulator (like Daemon Tools or MagicISO) to mount a game's folder as a CD or share a folder as you pointed out. But I thought everyone knows how to burn a CD so I included it in the guide. But as I said, maybe I'll modify it.

Anyway, what do you think about using DOS VM as I described in 35. post? This one is pretty straightforward, it takes only about 5 minutes to set it up, doesn't use much RAM, plus you kinda get the full screen too using the low resolution trick.

You already know what I think about the whole idea of your 'snapshot' machine, or better said cheat machine.
It ain't worth the effort.
There was a time that VPC was useful to have around for the games that wouldn't run nicely in dosbox, or even wouldn't run at all in dosbox, but dosbox is so good now that VPC ain't needed anymore for dosgaming.

For gaming VPC is only interesting for recalcitrant W9x games that won't run on modern hardware/OS.
