CDemu is a free and open-source virtual drive software, designed to emulate an optical drive and optical disc (including CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs) on the Linux operating system.. As of 30 June 2019, CDemu is not available in the official repositories of Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora Linux for any release, but it is available via official PPA for Ubuntu and COPR for Fedora Linux.
A view of a CD-ROM drive's disassembled laser system The movement of the laser enables reading at any position of the CD. The laser system of a CD-ROM drive. CD-ROM discs are read using CD-ROM drives. A CD-ROM drive may be connected to the computer via an IDE , SCSI, SATA, FireWire, or USB interface or a proprietary interface, such as the ...

PlayStation 2 (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM) A map file that contains all of the exact positions and file size info of the disc is stored at a position that is beyond the file limit. The game calls this place directly so that burned copy with no data beyond file limit cannot be played. PSP (Universal Media Disc)
.ISO files are commonly used in emulators to replicate a CD image. Emulators such as Dolphin and PCSX2 use .iso files to emulate Wii and GameCube games, and PlayStation 2 games, respectively. [7] [8] They can also be used as virtual CD-ROMs for hypervisors such as VMware Workstation or VirtualBox. Other uses are burning disk images of operating ...
On every CD-ROM the sectors state their logical absolute and relative position in the corresponding sector-headers. The drive can use this information when it is told to retrieve or seek to a certain sector. Note that such information is not physically "hard-wired" into the CD-ROM itself but part of user-controlled data.
Original CD-ROM drives could read data at about 150 kB/s, 1× constant angular velocity (CAV), [1] the same speed of compact disc players without buffering. As faster drives were released, the write speeds and read speeds for optical discs were multiplied by manufacturers, far exceeding the drive speeds originally released onto the market.
Early sound cards could include a CD-ROM drive interface. Initially, such interfaces were proprietary to each CD-ROM manufacturer. A sound card could often have two or three different interfaces which are able to communicate with the CD-ROM drive. A method for using the parallel port to use with external drives was developed at some point. This ...
