mount ISO as a virtual CD

HI, i need a way to mount a .iso image as a CD to play a game in wine. I tried the wine way to use the drives directory but i have no success. The only way i had this work in linux was in ubuntu with Gmount-iso, ut in Arch with the gmount-iso from AUR i get an error(command not found, i had loaded the loop module so no idea why is not working. Is there a simple way to use mount and somehow link the folder with /dev or something to appear to be a real CD?

Re: mount ISO as a virtual CD

mount /your/path/your\ iso.iso /where/to/mount -o loop
cdemu load 0 /your/path/your\ iso.iso

The last one requires to install cdemu-client on your system.


They say that if you play a Win cd backward you hear satanic messages. That's nothing! 'cause if you play it forwards, it installs windows.

Re: mount ISO as a virtual CD

I get this error with cdemu

bash-4.0# cdemu load 0 /media/HUGE/BIG/games/EF2ISOs/Stef2_disk2.iso
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.47:/CDEMUD_Daemon: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.51" (uid=0 pid=752 comm="python /usr/bin/cdemu load 0 /media/HUGE/BIG/games") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable" member="Introspect" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination=":1.47" (uid=0 pid=690 comm="cdemud -d -n 1 -c /dev/vhba_ctl -a null "))

for isoman i had to create the /media/cdrom folder
and if i try to mount the file in /dev/cd or /dev/cdrom it always mounts my file in /media/cdrom.
I need that this file to be mounted as a virtual cd, to appear as a removable media. Nice ths isoman , if it cheks for loop module then it can be useful no need to load it first
Thx

I've never seen this error before man. Just to be sure. Did you load the dbus daemon and cdemud afterwards?

Re: mount ISO as a virtual CD

There's also Mount-iso, but doesn't work anymore because made for KDE3 and sh script.
If someone like to spend some time on it, will do a good  think, indeed.

do it good first, it will be faster than do it twice the saint wink

Re: mount ISO as a virtual CD

acetoneiso2 is a great mount tool, that supports a hella lot of image types. to use it install it, load the fuse module and run. Its a gui tool, so it should be straight forward.

For normal iso files i always use mount -o loop
