Context menu - image mount/unmount + virtual drive

[Zead]

CDemu is an alternative for Windows apps like DAEMON Tools Lite.

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cdemu/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cdemu-client

This should also install a gcdemu (a GUI for CDEmu DAEMON), if not, you can install it later. After installing CDEmu, it will automatically add a virtual drive to your system.

I found CDEmu already creates an entry in the context menu, co a custom one isn't needed.

CDEmu is a real virtual drive, and supports multi-track CDs.

You can use Jerry's tutorial below, if you need to mount a single-track images as a "file system".

sudo apt-get install fuseiso

Description: UnMount
Command: fusermount -u %f
File Pattern: *.mount

Thanks, but... does it work with multi-track CDs? Heard it doesn't. I need to mount multiple .bin files with the .cue file, which stores all the information in it about the tracks, .bins, then I'm going to create a single .bin/.cue (all .bin files combined).

I heard only CDEmu is capable. Do you know any tutorial for that?

No idea sorry.

It's ok, we can keep it here, I'm sure it will be very useful for people that doesn't need multi-track CD mounting.
Thanks 

I'll try the CDEmu stuff.

Hi Unlimity. For clarity, did you try this and it doesn't work or are you assuming it doesn't work?

Hi, well I didn't. But I already checked fuseiso, before Jerry provided the tutorial, also on the internet, some guy said fuseiso doesn't work with multi-tracks. Also in the package manager, the description says:

This package provides a module to mount ISO filesystem images
using FUSE.
With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional
filesystem in a userspace program.

It can also mount single-tracks .BIN, .MDF, .IMG and .NRG.

----------------------------------------------------------------

"One major limitation of .BIN images is that fuseiso does not handle .CUE files in any way, and thus can work with only the first track of .BIN images."

(This was written by someone in 2011, the fuseiso version seems to be 2007).
But I'll try, nothing to lose I guess, I believe it won't work anyway.

But like I said, I believe many people don't use multi-track CD images, so this tutorial is still great, but I will have to get CDEmu working.

EDIT: Doesn't work, like I expected. I made to sure to add cue/CUE patterns. Btw it doesn't seem to mount images as a virtual drive, guess I should have said it has to be a virtual drive.

@Unlimity,
Thanks for posting your test results, appreciate the hard work.

[Zead]

Wasn't really a hard work Scott, but thanks, I "knew" it won't work.

But I knew you would eat me alive if I wouldn't test it... lol.
