Why YOU NEED a CD-ROM Drive Today!

here

Is there any full tower pc case that still supports optical dvd drive today bro? Can u suggest me some, it would be better if its glass case

Not everyone has a ultra fast network

i need a disk drive for my sims 3 games and I'm on windows 11 idk but I had a old one but it did nothing wouldn't even recognize a DVD or idk what I'm doing on these newer PC . so I see the link you posted that sent to amazon where one is USB one is that for games as well

Title: CD-ROM
Picture: Blu-Ray.
🤨

I already have 1

Physical Media is best 🫶

I'm still not sure that I agree. After having used CHD files, you can't beat the convenience of having dozens or hundreds of PSX and PS2 games, both CD and DVD, all individually compressed neatly into much smaller files. No need to change discs, no load times. And it works with other optical disc based consoles as well, including TurboGrafix-16, Sega CD and Saturn.

I stopped buying CDs well over a decade ago and the last time I actually burned an ISO to disc to install an OS was several years ago (I now use Ventoy).

Ripping audio CDs was the very last use I ever had for an optical disc drive, and although my laptop does have a DVD drive, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that these days it really is useless.

Can. You play carnivores on this

I still have a handful of IDE drives hanging around -- with no machines left they'll plug in to.

for a second i was like, The Car Wizard?...

Can u plug in any controller or console specific

i got a disk drive emulator i use

I just bought two ps2 ganes at a secondhand shop, sadly my old ps3 couldnt read the discs. But thankfully this solution exists.

Glad to see a video thats to the point and explains how to set it up. I have a good enough laptop so now i can revisit some childhood games again.

So let’s say hypothetically I bought a CD ROM Drive that plugs in via USB I would just put whatever game I want to play example (hot wheels bash arena)into the drive and then boot up the same emulator you have and then play it directly off the disk?

I bought an old pc case and then put in some newer parts and I love using PC DVD:s. It’s so cheap to buy used disc like Half Life or Farcry.

Where do you find a computer case that has the bay for a CD drive? I am planning on building a new computer and would like a CD drive and a panel for more USB, USB C and a reader for micro SD. I don't want all the plug in stuff extra, I want it in my PC.

I am gen z but ‏ its allways be called cd 💿

I bought my first cd in july, it was the iron man 2 ac/dc album and i bought it because one day streaming services will die. Meaning I wont be able to listen to my favourite music, but ac/dc is my favourite band so i would love to keep listening afterwards so spotify is good but cds are better

I'll always prefer physical media over digital ones. That's because everything that we watch online doesn't belong to us and can be removed at any time. When it comes to CD, DVD and Blu-Ray discs, this is our property. Still easy to reach at any time, it doesn't require any paid subscription and most importantly by buying these we've received a lifetime license for using them. That's why I still buy music, movies and video games on traditional discs.

Hey so just a question I really want to play my physical copy of dragon ball budokai tenkaichi 3 on the steam deck can you take me through the steps I would really appreciate it

I bought a plug in disc cause I had no where to put a disc drive in my pc

If I'm going to emulate I'll just skip the optical drive and download roms lol

I can't believe I have never thought about trying this... I need more tech savvy friends.

Q.Why YOU NEED a CD-ROM Drive in 2023!
A. Install Windows 10/11 from DVD . If flash drive not shown

I got a portable Dvd writer.

coming from the future, still have and use a Tape Drive

Your link doesn't match the drive you show

I have a CD/DVD writer. CD/DVD forever!

By the way Do PS3 Blu ray games read on PC BD-ROM drives? I know Ps1/Ps2, CD/DVD roms read just fine, but I have never tried PS3 emulation yet.

I know XBOX and NINTENDO made it a real pain in the ass to read their disks on a PC, but Sony never has in the past.

I am just wondering, do I just YO-HO HO PS3 games from the pirates, or is getting the physical PS3 BD-ROMS worth it if I am planning on using Emulators only without real console hardware.
Are the disks encrypted and unreadable (XBOX STYLE), or do they read out of the box like PS1/PS2 disks...


(YES I HAVE A BD-XL WRITER already.)

Wait so can i play transformers rise of the dark spark or fob?

Does this work for laptop? I have a very powerful laptop.

Why do you need a CD drive? They're useful. Saved you 6 minutes.

I used this to make custom game discs with labels and they have switch games on them. its great cuz i can carry it around and with labels they look real!

Blu-ray reader Blu-ray reader Blu-ray reader Blu-ray reader Blu-ray reader Blu-ray reader Blu-ray reader Blu-ray reader Blu-ray reader Blu-ray reader ... there you have it..
By The way.. I love media in the form of cds and DVDs... I just bought soooo many DVDs .. its just different when you can see the cover, the title and insert the disk .. I dont know .. I'm just like that.

Yeah this seems really cool until you realize that it's absolutely 100% pointless. If you're running a game in an emulator, using the real software isn't doing anything more than inconveniencing you. It doesn't make anything more or less accurate. I've done this with Sega CD on the Fusion emulator since I have physical games but no Sega CD hardware. It was fun the first time I did it. After that I just loaded the CD image.

Hey I'm new to pcs and really want to do this. I'd love if you did another video in more depth on this topic

Can you make a video in 2025 about this plz

thank god im in 2025

It's so hard to find good emulators though because there's a lot of bad emulators out there that don't work or worse crash your computer

I still have a 10 ry old Bluray reader on my 1 yr old Ryzen 7 total system upgrade cause I still have an extensive collection of movies on disk I can enjoy as well as running old games

I have two cd-rom drives on my tower and one on my laptop. Am I the only guy that still uses computers? My friends all say that they don't need a computer because they have a phone. How can you even begin to compare the two?

Just came in to comment. Good thing 2023 came and went. Don't need a CD Rom anymore. 😂

i like them. im thinking to by printble dvds and burn all ps2 games on them and print the games photos on them... and then make a Bookcase of all ps2 games.....
