I installed it from a ppa: and I have been using it for over a year. 
I've been mounting windows game disks images to play the games. I 
installed an update with a new kernel image and then the program was gone.

I was trying to find an old version of it and couldn't. I also tried to 
find another repository that would have it, and I couldn't. I like 
having versions of my operating system that has long term support. I 
also like the updates to be backwards compatible.

The only thing that I can think of was that the update had some stuff 
that was incompatible with gcdemu and removed it without notification.

Thanks;
