A new update soon?

[03302024]

The download files are from 2019. I was wondering if an update is comming anytime soon.

I'm not a developer on this project and I don't know anything about it outside of this repo, but it seems like development has stopped. No new code has been committed for about 6 years, so it seems unlikely to me that there's a plan for a new release.

It's a pity. Thanks for the info, though.

By any chance, do you know of a "new" replacement app to suggest?

[sskras]

@03302024, before suggesting the replacement, what issues do you experience with the latest build?

[03302024]

what issues do you experience with the latest build?

No issues, why do you ask?

Umm, if there are no issues, why bother about updates? :)

Anyways, there are several alternatives available on Windows, eg:

• https://alternativeto.net/software/imdisk-virtual-disk-driver/about/ [*]
• https://arsenalrecon.com/products/arsenal-image-mounter [*]
• https://www.gburner.com/online-help/virtual-drive.htm
• https://www.daemon-tools.cc/products/dtLite
• https://www.elby.ch/en/products/vcd.html

[*] The open source projects !

Thanks for taking the time to write. I will see if there are any "new" replacement apps among them.

OK, so use the build from 2019. You said you have no issues. Why not use software which works just fine?

So far, We have not seen any virtual CD-ROM drive that can mount the chd v5 image format.
For chd support, there is libchdrthat can be achieved
really hope that there will be an open source virtual CD-ROM that can add chd support

This should be a separate issue, unrelated to the updates.

PS. If you are fine with using Linux and interface of the cdemu feels OK, you could try contributing to this issue, where the CHD support is being already proposed to libmirage: cdemu/cdemu#16

[sskras]

Also the CHD feature request is already filled 4y ago: #34
