CDemu
CDemu is a software suite designed to emulate an optical drive and disc (including CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs) on the Linux operating system.
CDEmu consists of:
- a kernel module implementing a virtual SCSI host bus adapter,
- libmirage which is a software library for interpreting optical disc images,
- a daemon which emulates the functionality of a SCSI optical drive+ disc,
- textmode and GTK clients for controlling the emulator.
The software is portable to other operating systems supported by Glib, with the exceptions of the kernel module and the clients which rely on d-bus communication.
The files for the current version can be found at the project's website.
