    What Is This?
    From the README:

    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 provides access to the main program .dol and also
    creates a special file called .metadata in the root directory of
    the mounted filesystem.

    gcfuse accomplishes all this using Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE),
    available at:

    http://fuse.sourceforge.net/

    Note that there are likely to be bugs and perhaps even security
    problems. It is currently meant as primarily an experimental research
    tool for studying GameCube discs.


    Requirements:
    - Linux 2.4.x or 2.6.x (as of 2.6.14 FUSE is part of the
    kernel, but you still need user libraries)
    - FUSE ( http://fuse.sourceforge.net ) 2.5.x or higher

    Build:
    ./configure && make

    Install:
    make install

    Usage:
    gcfuse <image_file.gcm> <mount_point>

    To unmount previously mounted file, use:
    fusermount -u <mount_point>

    Changelog
    0.9.1:
    * copy whole title into .metadata (only 32 characters made it before)
    * make main .DOL executable available to browse in the root directory

    0.9:
    * initial release

    Would this let you stick an original GC disc into a dvd reader, and read the disc through linux?

      Yes, that's right. I don't know if you can use Datel's Max Drive Pro with this, though.

          Cool, but would a Windows version be possible?

            I don't forsee a Windows version in the near future.
