What part of cd-emulation don´t you understand? optical media is read-only.

Using the U3 updater on a windows machine and changing the hosts file
and using a local web server you can make the U3 software updater
"burn" any given .iso image into the cd-emulation partition of the U3
flash drive.

THEN you can boot that iso image, as the PC identifies it as a USB
cd-rom or dvd-rom drive.
