About
CDemu is a free and open-source CD/DVD-ROM device emulator for Linux and BSD, licensed under GPL v2 or later. It represents a from-scratch rewrite of the legacy CDEmu project, originally initiated by Robert Penz. This project provides robust virtual disk and hardware emulation capabilities, supporting a wide array of image formats including ISO, BIN, CUE, NRG, and CCD. Its comprehensive product portfolio is highlighted by features such as a low resource footprint, kernel-level operation, and a convenient system tray applet, with community features allowing users to suggest and vote on new functionalities. CDemu uniquely addresses the need for true hardware emulation on Linux, going beyond the limitations of pseudo-devices created by commands like 'sudo mount -o loop', enabling scenarios such as playing games like 'Battle for Naboo' through WINE 1.3 with mounted ISOs. While specific revenue, employee count, or current leadership details are not provided, its open-source nature fosters community contributions and potential for future enhancements like virtual burning. CDemu holds a distinct market position as a critical OS utility for hardware emulation on its supported platforms.
