:*You can also use software tools for middleware or disc-check emulation, see [[Copy protection#Emulation]] section.

The vmware-kvm utility, also known as the VMware KVM mode, was first introduced in VMware Workstation 10, released in May 2014. It allows users to run virtual machines in full-screen mode with easy switching between the VM and host OS using the Pause key, along with command-line control via vmware-kvm.exe for tasks like starting VMs and managing preferences. It uses the host's graphics capabilities more efficiently, [[Input lag|reducing lag]] and improving responsiveness.

:*VirtualBox’s parser is very strict, for instance; it does not recognize the [[Cue_sheet_(.cue)#TRACK|multi-track]] disc image or [[Cue_sheet_(.cue)#FLAGS|FLAGS DCP]], so it throws: VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED. VMware on the other hand only supports [[Ripping games#Comparison|ISO images]].
