Could you build this?
No DAEMON Tools Pro requires low-level virtual SCSI/IDE bus device drivers and optical disc emulation (VHD, ISO, DT, SCSI) at the Windows kernel level.
What it would actually take: Creating a real disc emulator requires writing signed Windows Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF) drivers (virtual storage miniport drivers) in C, implementing the SCSI Architecture Model and virtual bus enumeration. It demands deep systems programming expertise, cryptographic signing certificates, and low-level filesystem parser implementations (ISO9660, UDF, MDS).
