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.
Optical media emulated by CDemu can be mounted within Linux. Automounting is also allowed.
The files for the current version can be found at the project's website.
