Well you now have the means to make actual screenshots!

As Bas already said, CD-i was never intended as a console (i.e., game) system. That the system could do fairly decent games, at least for the time, was probably a surprise to the designers too. Of course, the Digital Video cartridge had a lot to do with this, too. Remember that CD-i is a late eighti...

Writing a ROM is certainly possible, but it's not simple. You'd need to clone almost the entire OS-9 OS and reimplement the CD-i file managers and drivers specified by the Green Book...

Since there are no other takers, I'll make you an offer. I don't really need most of it, but...

See your private messages.

As I said earlier tonight in another topic here:

I have started finishing up for release; just bear with me a little while longer...

Please?

From the CD-i FAQ 2000 Edition, on ICDIA: CD-i is short for Compact Disc Interactive. It is an interactive multimedia system combining moving and still video, audio and program content on a compact disc, which can be played back in a dedicated CD-i player. A CD-i player is a stand-alone device, cons...

I understand the yearning

Yeah, there's a FAQ. Consider yourself scolded :-) There's a "CD-i burning guide" on the Le Monde du CD-i website that tells you how to create BIN files. It's under Plus | .pdf files , but you're forgiven for not finding it. Here is a direct link to the download page. NRG files for CD-i discs are mo...

At present, the emulator does not support NRG files, only raw MODE2/2352 files (these typically have the extension BIN). Several people in the beta group have worked around this by just burning the NRG file to a CD and then creating a BIN file from it. NRG file support will be added at some point, b...

The modem and printer port are "standard" PC serial ports. I don't know much else about this player (yet), but Devin has one. Perhaps he can respond?

It depends on what you mean by a CD-i ROM... In generally, the CD-i system ROMs are fixed inside the player and contain very little resources; there's an 8x8 font bitmap, some background images for the player shell and a few language modules (the details vary accross player models). These are all in...

Glad you're happy! Your ROMs are supported by CD-i Emulator (except for the MPEG functionality, for now as least). Still have to post that compatibility chart...

You could always connect a TV to your PC, of course

No, its "mpg" (MPEG video still images)

IsoBuster extracts the files just fine as 2352 bytes/sector raw files; then just strip the CD-i headers.

I have tools to do this, but where should I put the images? Anybody have an ftp site to use?

I think there's a misunderstanding here. Uncover featuring Tatjana is indeed a Qix clone; I thing flamel was referring to Girls?
