The version 0.5.3 beta releases are limited editions, unless you have already activated an unlimited edition on your machine or you’re using a Philips Mono-I player system ROM (200 F1, 210 F1, 220 F2). The unlimited edition does not have these restrictions. The CD-i Emulator program provides a fairly complete software emulation of the hardware of an actual physical CD-i player.You can download a time-limited edition, but I ask a modest payment for the unlimited edition.The time-limited edition emulates for at most three minutes between CD-i player resets and does not support permanent saving of NVRAM data such as game highscores and other CD-i title settings.

The package is provided as a ‘tiny’ package which extracts over a full MAME source. The CHDs used by this should be compatible with future versions of MESS.

The driver is mostly by “Just Desserts / Harmony” and progress can be followed at the MESS forums. I (Haze) take no credit for the work here, I’ve just been converting images and testing them. I haven’t marked games as working / not working because most of them haven’t been tested far enough to make a good judgement on that, the main guarantee this tiny build gives however is that if your CHDs match the expected ones, you’re getting the same results as everybody else something which is hard to know in MESS which lacks any kind of fixed set list. Non-games haven’t been added at all for now. For most games only one revision has been added for testing purposes, while multiple revisions exist in the TOSEC dats. Digital Video titles won’t work because MESS doesn’t emulate the MPEG card. Hotel Mario™, The Apprentice (no sound), Dimo’s Quest, Alien Gate, The Joker’s Wild™, Tetris® and a number of others seem to be perfectly playable. Most games will lockup or crash at some point due to imperfectons in the emulation, a couple of them do however play well. This is a ‘Tiny’ MAME build containing the CD-i code from MESS using a fixed gamelist like MAME.

His passion to the CD-i and in particular to the game he worked on make him decided to do the first step to program the very 1st emulator that enables to play a CD-i title.ĬD-ice is known for emulating only one game, Rise™ of the Robots.īut more titles are working still with some issues, known working titles are: Micro Machines, Escape from Cybercity®, Defender of the Crown, Zelda™ – The Wand of Gamelon, Flashback, Whack a Bubble, Lemmings, The 7th Guest, Striker Pro and Tetris®. He was a coder for more that 15 years in the game industry. Pete Dabbs worked on the CD-i conversion of Rise™ of the Robots.
Some of them are abandoned by their creator, others are still under development. Here you will find the different ways to emulate a CD-i title using a software, no boards (this is a future subject). Its succeeded with the development of a Nubus CD-i board for Macintosh, an ISA & PCI boards for Sun and Windows computers. Back to the early days of the interactive system development, Philips tried many ways to emulate CD-i titles to make it easier to develop new titles. In our case, play a CD-i title without the need of any dedicated player. Emulation is the term used when you want to make something work from a specific system, using something that is not the original platform.
