Hi, Many years ago, I was using a neat program called 'FakeCD' to run a few CD games without the actual CDs, like Carmageddon.
IIRC, FakeCD was not using an ISO file as input, but rather a directory with files, and emulated a CDROM drive from that. So it wasn't able for eg. to emulate a CD with audio tracks. Surprisingly, I see that FakeCD still have a web page after all those years: http://www.math.uni-rostock.de/~nfa506/fakecddr.html I do not know whether it will work with DOSEMU or not, my experience was limited to a physical PC 15 years ago.
