Control: retitle -1 RFP: cdemu -- program for emulating optical drives
Hey folks,
There already used to be an ITP for CDemu, which I've unarchived renamed
and forcemerged with the current one.
So perhaps let's continue discussion at #237925 as this already contains
some more information?
Just to add some more details:
- The big difference from CDEmu to loopback is, that CDEmu actually
emulates a CD drive (with all it's commands and interfaces), while the
loopback method only makes an ISO image mountable.
device emulator vs. filesystem
- The big advantage over mounting the ISO is that one can
a) mount images which don't contain just the filesystem, but also all
other "depper" CD data structures (the sub code).
b) plus access that sub code
- AFAIK, .bin files cannot be mounted via loopback... I tried to use
bchunk with cdrdao images, but that didn't work.
Cheers,
Chris.
