CDemu

it mounts every cd I try to mount. Even the Multi-track ISOs that AcetoneISO can't deal with. It's a great up-to-date software, and it become easier to use with the gcdemu applet which I can even run on XFCE.

Big on talk, low on delivery. Can't understand what all these other reviewers are ooh'ing and aah'ing over.

I was looking for a graphical utility to mount vhd files which would work in Peppermint Linux. This much acclaimed, trumpet-blown, tom-tom-ed program has a Linux version which we need to compile ourselves!? WTH!! And then Linuxers gripe about not winning ordinary users over :eyeroll:

You know what worked for me? PowerISO! Yes, they offer a free version for Linux use which did the "one-job" very well thank you. And ready binaries, no compiling needed.

Tip: add repository and then use Synaptic Package Manager to install it rather than compiling from source. You pretty much have to be Chuck Noris to compile this from source. Love this program. There should be a 'love' button. Works great. GUI applet is a nice cherry on top. Think about it - it's an open source CD emulator that works on Linux, how awesome is that? When I mount my Battle for Naboo iso with CDemu, I can play the game through WINE 1.3. I was bummed when I found out that 'sudo mount -o loop' only makes a pseudo-device, rather than actually emulating hardware. Then this program filled that void! Speaking of open-source, people might make mod'ed versions of it...like, hey, maybe someone will add in virtual burning (burn to new image file instead of a CD where the user can have CDemu generate a blank and mount that blank and the emulated CD hardware appears to have a blank disc in it to which a burning program can see and write to just like any other blank CD - then you have an iso or bin instead of a real CD when you are done burning) to this program. You see, it's open source, so there's hope for things like this.
