Hello Sven, I had the same problem. In order to test my ongoing software-development for my house-heating-system, I needed a complete identical 1wire-structure of my existing system. This way I can test without horsing things up!
Since I use only the fuse-filesystem to read and write to 1wire, the solution I found for simulation was fairly simple: I just copied the complete fuse-file-structure, and made certain fields of sensors and IO-modules writable. I had to write some simulation code of course. For example, if you write outputs, you want to write the corresponding sensed.* fields too! So, I did not use fake-mode at all. I am not even running owfs on my test-machine. Again it only works if you use the fuse-filesystem!
