 # gcfuse - Use FUSE To Mount GameCube Filesystems
 
-**Note (February, 2018):** The original build instructions below were written circa 2006 and are a bit obsolete. This source code should still compile and run on modern Linux kernels using this process:
-
-1. Be sure to have FUSE libraries installed (as of Ubuntu 16.04, this package is 'libfuse-dev')
-2. Clone this repository
-3. Execute the following build command:
- 
- ```gcc -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wall src/gcfs.c src/main.c src/tree.c -o gcfs -lfuse```
-
-This will build the binary executable ```gcfs```. Use the *Usage* section below for instructions on running this utility.

 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.

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

+Note that it is not usually possible to simply read a Nintendo optical discs in
+an ordinary computer's DVD-ROM drive. In order to 
+mount a filesystem, generally, you will have to rip the proper 
+sector image from the disc using special hardware and tools, or contact 
+another source who has already done so.
+
+Note also 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
+- FUSE development libraries; 'libfuse-dev' on Ubuntu distros

+    make
 
-Build:
-```	
-	./configure && make

+### Install:
+    make install
+
+#### Usage:
+The basic usage is to supply a Nintendo GameCube disc image and an empty mount point on the filesystem:
+
+    gcfuse <image_file.gcm> <mount_point>
+
+Browsing to the mount point will reveal the directory structure of the disc's filesystems. Further,
+it will also expose the root executable .dol file, which is an implicit part of the disc filesystem.
+This file will be named after the name of the disc.
+
+Speaking of the name of the disc, the filesystem will also have a '.metadata' file at the root which
+contains a few bits of metadata embedeed in the filesystem, including:
+- Game code
+- Publisher code
+- Title
+The filesystem derives the name of the root executable from that title metadata.
 
-Install:
-```
-	make install

-Usage:
-```
-	gcfuse <image_file.gcm> <mount_point>
-```
 
 To unmount previously mounted file, use:
-```
-	fusermount -u <mount_point>
-```
+    fusermount -u <mount_point>
