[ale] Faking out Windows CD checks?

[Robert L. Harris]

  I have about 10-15 games for my kids for Windows.  There's a problem
in that they still don't have a respect for the fragility of CD's
(they're 3 and 5) and have ruined many CD's already.

  On some of their games I can copy the CD's to /mnt/logan/Goofy and
share it out with samba.  Works great as far as the game is concerned.
Some games though still get ticked off when they can't find the original
CD's in the local CDRom drive.

  Has anyone found a good work around for a scenario like this where the
physical CD's are required?  Yeah, this could possibly provide a pain
as this is what the copy protection is supposed to prevent but I'm tired
of paying $20/$30 to replace CD's because they're so easy to scratch and
thus ruin.

Robert
  P.S. Don't bother with the "play linux games only" as there's not a
Goofy Skating, Hotwheels crash, Dr Sues, etc  yet.  Yes, I've got them
playing frozen bubble but they like the Disney games, etc still.
