Filesystems

gcfuse

gcfuse is a program that allows you to mount a Nintendo GameCube DVD disk image as a read-only part of the Linux filesystem. This allows the user to browse the directory structure and read the files within. Further, gcfuse creates a special file called .metadata in the root directory of the mounted filesystem containing other interesting items like game title and publisher.
