Using Fluenz with Daemon Tools Pro Advanced

<> Intro

This tutorial will cover how to get Fluenz working using Daemon Tools Pro Advanced. There are several
versions of Daemon Tools available, of which I believe only Pro Advanced and Ultra support RMPS emulation.
Pro Advanced is the only version that I officially support due to encountering issues with Ultra regarding
successfully running Fluenz from either a mounted image or a DVD copy, though this may have had something
to do with the configuration of my computer. Your experience may differ, but I will not include instructions on
how to use Ultra unless there happens to be a demand for it.

This tutorial is divided into sections. First is how to mount a Fluenz image file and have it work (hopefully). The
second section is how to burn a Fluenz image file to a DVD.

TBH, all of this is pretty simple. It’s just a matter of making sure you have the correct options and settings
activated.

NOTE: I reference explorer in this tutorial, which is the name for the user shell in Windows. This means the
folder windows such as My Documents, My Computer, etc. It does not mean Internet Explorer.

<> Mounting image files

Before you mount any of the Fluenz image files, you need to enable RMPS emulation and check to see if SCSI
adapter is enabled.

1) From the Tools menu, click on Preferences.

2) The Preferences window will appear. Click on the Advanced menu option, check RMPS, and then click the
Apply button to apply changes, and then click Close. That’s it for RMPS.
Now you need to make sure SCSI adapter is enabled. With Daemon Tools, you can have three types of virtual
drives: DT, SCSI, and IDE. DT is the default type and will most likely always be enabled (I’ve only done this on
one computer, so I can’t speak for other setups and configurations). However, Fluenz will not work with a DT
drive, you need to use an SCSI drive.

1) To check if SCSI adapter is enabled or not, click on Virtual Device Manager in the main toolbar.
2) In the Virtual Device Manager window that appears, make sure the SCSI Adapter button is blue and says
Enabled. If it is gray and says disabled, click the button to enable it. It will take several seconds for the changes
to take effect.

Once SCSI is enabled, you can now mount any of the Fluenz image files. This can be done one of two ways:
from within Daemon Tools, or from explorer using the Daemon Tools shell extension.

In Daemon Tools, you can add disc images to the Image Catalog by either dragging and dropping the images
from explorer into Daemon Tools, or clicking the Add Images button in the home toolbar and selecting the
image files that way.

Any images you add to the Image Catalog will remain there until you remove them yourself. So if you quit the
program and start it back up, the images will still be there.
1) From Daemon Tools, right-click on a disc image in the Image Catalog and select Mount Image. Or you can
left-click on an image file to select it and then click the Mount button in the home toolbar.
2) You will then get a new window asking you which type of device you want the new virtual drive to be. You
must select SCSI, otherwise Fluenz will not work. If SCSI does not appear, review the instructions beginning on
page 3 to enable SCSI (I do not guarantee that you will be able to activate SCSI on your computer. Again, I’ve
only tried this on one PC).

3) Alternatively, you can mount an image file from explorer using the Daemon Tools shell extension. Locate
the image file you want to mount and right-click it, select DAEMON Tools Pro, then Mount to, then click on
SCSI. If an SCSI drive does not appear in the list, you can click Add new SCSI virtual drive and mount to enable
the SCSI adapter. You must mount Fluenz to an SCSI drive otherwise it will not work.
4) Once the image file has mounted, an AutoPlay window will appear if you have AutoPlay enabled.

I suggest not clicking Run Setup.exe as this will bring up a Fluenz agreement window and then another
window giving you the options to either install Fluenz to the hard drive or run it from the disc (see images
below). If you do not plan on installing Fluenz to the hard drive, then running Setup.exe will just give you
unnecessary windows to deal with.
To bypass that, choose the Open folder to view files option in AutoPlay, or open the disc from My Computer
by right-clicking on it and selecting Open to view the contents of the mounted image. If you double-click on
the disc, it will run Setup.exe.
If you have hidden files visible, then you will see the full contents of the mounted image. If not, then you will
only see the launch.exe file.

5) Double-click launch.exe to run Fluenz. Hopefully, if all went well, the Fluenz program will open. If instead
you receive a pop-up window, check back through these instructions to make sure you have followed them
correctly.
<> Burning image files

1) To burn an image file to a DVD, select the image you want to burn from the Image Catalog in Daemon Tools
and then click on Burn Image from the main toolbar.

You can also do this from within explorer, by right-clicking the image file, selecting DAEMON Tools Pro, and
then clicking Burn Image..
2) The Burn Image window will appear. Make sure that Finalize and Burn RMPS data are both checked. You
can change your Speed if you want. It will probably be set to Maximum by default, but I always burn at 12.0X. I
do that because I don’t feel comfortable burning software at maximum speed (increases the likelihood of
errors) but I don’t want to burn at the slowest speed either. For me, 12.0X is a good in-between.

Click Start to begin burning.

4) Once burning has completed, reinsert the disc into your computer and wait for the disc to load. If you get
an AutoPlay window, choose the Open folder to view files option; unless you want to install Fluenz to the hard
drive, then choose Run Setup.exe. If you do not get an AutoPlay window, open the Fluenz disc from explorer
by right-clicking on it and selecting Open. Double-click launch.exe to run Fluenz. If all went well, Fluenz will
load. If instead you get a pop-up window, review these instructions to make sure you followed them correctly.
