Run CD/DVD vs. Run ISO Image?

[CrimsonMoonMist]

Is there any drawback with running the ISO itself
instead of making a vertual drive?
I'm asking because after updating the cdvdGigaherz plugin i get a black screen when chosing Run CD/DVD.

What? If you have an ISO image of your game, use Linuz ISO to read it directly (no virtual drives or anything)
If you have a disc, use Gigaherz CDVD and choose your dvd rom drive letter.

I'm at a loss as to why people get constantly confused with this

[CrimsonMoonMist]

Well, a lot of emulators can only read discs so i just assumed that there would be some drawbacks when running the ISO...

as a "ISO user" i wanna say that new beta-gui became less userfriendly (more clicks needed to run from iso). But it is not a big deal if you decide to leave it that way. Just wanna let you know.

[Bositman]

Uh not really if you use it properly. It's at worse the same clicks. Not that we really care about number of clicks anyway

[tohdom]

if i remember right:
old: click for menu, click on iso-string, doubleclick on game to run = 4 clicks
new: click for menu, move to submenu, click for browse, doubleclick on game, click for menu, click on CDDVD to run = 6 clicks + moving mouse back and forth.

two menus and submenu instead of one menu.

well maybe its more clicks but u never have to browse for a game if u wanna play the same game (it saves your iso selection)
edit: what i want to ask is what is better the iso selector or the linuz iso plugin? and what is their differences.

[Bositman]

The recent ISO list reduces the time it takes to select a game dramatically. We don't care about clicks, it's obvious the new way is faster if you use ISO images.
iakoboss7: Same thing. ISO reading plugins like Linuz ISO will be obsolete and removed in the new version.

[Bositman]

Yes, 0.9.8.
