In case you have not heard of it, GameJackal is a handy tool for those of you out there that like to play games, but get irritated when you have to insert the CD or DVD in order to invoke them. It's understandable that you have to enter a key to install a game, but the added nuisance of searching for and inserting those game discs from then on, is just plain annoying! Not to mention that, but what happens if they get damaged? Then what do you do?
Why not do yourself a favor and spend $11.65 cents and you can put them away forever! This program is very easy to use and most copy protections do not seem to phase it. For instance, let's say you already have a game installed and there is a shortcut for it on the desktop. All that you have to do is left click the shortcut icon, then select "Create GameJackal profile" from the drop down menu. A GUI pops up and asks for he location of the executable that starts the game (you can browse for it) a couple clicks, insert the game disc, run the game a minute, shut it down, remove the disc and that's it! You don't need that puppy anymore! GameJackal has created a small profile, by detecting how the optical disc started the game automatically during the previously described process.
Now at version 2.7.13, the game profiling software sports a new, clean looking interface, that can be seen below:
A side benefit of using GameJackal profiles, is that the games will load a heck of a lot faster from your hard drive, even if you don't consider the time it used to take to locate and stick a disc it in your optical drive. Not to mention, you don't have to set and listen to the whirring of the drive as it gets it's act together trying to find the startup data on the disc.
Another interesting feature for those with dual core processors is that the interface allows for customizing the use of your dual core CPU. For instance, you can use one core for GameJackal and the other for the game. There are other configurations as well.
If this sounds like something you have been looking for, then head on over to the website for a free trial download. You can use the program a couple hundred times before the trial quits, so there is plenty of opportunity to tell if you are going to like it.
