Allows you to test ISO images before burning them to optical disc

QEMU Simple Boot (Quick Emulator) is a utility that allows you to boot and test operating systems and bootable images without installing them on your computer.

It's a free and open-source emulator and virtualization program that can be used to run operating systems and applications on a different machine from the one they were designed for.

You can simply load the ISO and make use of QEMU's virtualizing capabilities to emulate a system and check if the loaded file is ready to be written on disc.
