Mounting ISO, CUE images

Windows versions 8 and above natively support mounting ISOs. However CUE images are not supported. WinCDEmu is a lightweight, open-source disc emulator that supports mounting CUE, NRG, IMG, ISO, etc. images.

Master Control Panel / God Mode

(Misnomer; you probably won't use this either)

Open it by exceuting the following command or saving it as a shortcut: explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

MacOS

Package Manager

  • HomeBrew
    • package manager everyone uses but it is noticeably slow

Video Players

  • IINA
    • video player based on mpv with native macOS UI
  • mpv
    • mpv doesn't have a brew cask for Apple silicon; stolen-mpv exists but it is x86 only
    • mpv brew formula is the cli tool which works pretty well but it is not as nice as packaged applications
