Recent releases
- 01 Jul 2008 20:25
Changes: Fixes for CUE, CCD, TOC, B6T, MDS, CDI, and NRG parsers. New .CIF and .C2D support. Translation updates. A simple kernel features detector: the vhba module should build on more kernel versions. Very nice graphics have been added.
- 02 Feb 2008 16:11
Changes: This is the first big release after a complete rewrite from scratch.
- 13 Aug 2006 01:51
Changes: This version only supports kernel versions 2.6.16 and higher. The 2.4 series is no longer supported. cdemu now has file access like in a loop module. It should now work on amd64 and SMP systems. Support for .iso, .mds, .ccd, and .nrg images was added. Some documentation was added. Bugfixes were made.
- 20 Nov 2004 02:11
Changes: This version works with the newest 2.6 kernels, on AMD64 systems, and possibly on other 64-bit systems.
- 13 Mar 2004 02:29
Changes: The program can now be safely used on multi-user systems. Any user can mount an image in an empty CDemu slot, and only the user (and root) can unmount a slot already in use. A 2.4 threading patch for avoiding locking issues that may fix SMP issues varying from lockups to very poor performance is now also available, but has not received much testing.

Recent commentsDVD ISO Support?
I have a 4.4Gb dvd iso image and when i do
# cdemu 0 image_dvd.iso
i get this:
-------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/cdemu", line 132, in ?

libcdemu.load_cd(device, args[-1],os.path.basename(args[-1]))

tracks+=struct.pack(track_struct,*entry)
OverflowError: long int too large to convert
-------------------------------------------------------
so, mi question is: does cdemu have dvd iso support?
