Mount .dat files?

Is there a way to mount .dat files from the options or gotta write the imgmount code for now?

.dat is not a known extension so yes if you want to mount it as an image file you'd need to call imgmount in the command line or a batch file. You can rename the .dat file to the more common .img extension to make it get recognized automatically.

Thank you for the quick reply. I bought Shadow Warrior Classic from steam and noticed that they mounted the .dat file, which got me wondering. Will create a batch file. Thanks again.

That's just something which GoG and sometimes steam do so that isos don't appear as isos in explorer.
