Hi all,

I deal with disc images semi-frequently, and one thing that I've found very helpful in the past is to be able to just right-click the ISO (or other format) image and select "Mount Disc Image" and it would automatically mount it as a virtual drive. Then I could view/copy the files I needed and then eject/unmount the drive and be on my way when I was finished.

I was under the impression that it had become a standard Windows 10 feature. But I've just noticed that I no longer have that context menu option, and I can't remember what utility I may have had installed in the past to enable it.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to get this feature back?

There have been a couple of similar posts on this subject already, see the one about beating Castlevania: Symphony of the Night with assembly code here (along with a couple other videos about Super Mario World) or the one about the race to conquer Mario Kart's Choco Mountain in seconds here, but I'm creating a more generic thread here which any future similar video (or article) can be posted to.

To start off the thread, here's a video of how speedrunners beat a trial version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time which would automatically reset after 5 minutes had elapsed. The methods used in this one is similar to the above linked Castlevania video, where the speedrunner performs certain actions in the game to rewrite parts of system/game memory to get the desired result.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl contains a timed demo of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, with only 5 minutes of playtime. Defeating Ganon and beating the game sounds completely impossible in the demo! However, speedrunners have found a way. Here's how they did it.

How Speedrunners Beat the Brawl Ocarina of Time Demo

I came across this playlist of videos of "Uncle Bob" lecturing about writing clean code. It looks like the full lecture/seminar is about 9 hours in total. I just finished the first video and am finding it interesting enough that I want to continue with the series.

And if you decide to watch it, don't be put off the whole thing by how annoying or useless the first ~3:30 minutes of introductions at the beginning of the first video appear to be. In fact, it may be best just to skip them. Use the chapters/timestamps to get to the right spot. :Thmbsup:

Oh, and one more word of warning: Unfortunately the video editor kind of sucked at their job and didn't always show the feed from the most useful camera. For example, sometimes Uncle Bob is showing or talking about his slides but the camera is zoomed in for a close up on his face instead of showing us the projector screen. :(

Great lecture (so far), shoddy video editing work.
