    Can someone tell me exactly what an emulator is and what it does? I've been told that I should install an emulator (like Daemon Tools)for what I need, but I'm not really sure what it does. Thanks.

    It is a program that will let you view/play an image file(ISO, BIN, etc etc) right from the image file itself. It emulates a DVD/CD drive which means you dont need to actully burn the image file to disc to view it.

    Ok, thank you. That sums it up pretty good for me.
