Devin, when are you gonna have this stuff?

I need someone to perform front display tests on a 205...

Let's not start on this, all you young fools here make me feel really old...

Yes Devin, that includes you, as you well know

That would need a server somewhere, or it the original one still online?

Making a PC program to act as "gateway" between the CD-i player and the Internet would seem much lett hassle. This needs only basic packet relaying with a bit of address translation. In effect the PC would be playing both CD-i modem and ISP; the required cable would be a CD-i nullmodem cable. Hey, w...

I believe it is going to be the full cable, but you have to ask Devin to make sure, of course!

Again, player compatibility updates *will* be free (you may need to re-download, but it will be free when you've already paid for a previous version). I haven't decided yet on the famous DV cartridge update (that is at least a few months off anyway); it will depend on the amount of work, I guess. Li...

KuroNeko is right in that supporting all Philips 220 models will cover most variations of the Philips CD-i line; the various revisions of the player (/00 to /80) used all the major board types (Mini-MMC and Mono-I to IV). Not that this really cuts down on the amount of work to be done; so far I've f...

You will be able to try out the limited edition for free to see if CD-i Emulator works for you (PC and ROM compatibility, does it play my favorite game, does my joystick work, is my PC fast enough, do I like the colors etc etc), before you have to pay me anything. The CD-i system ROM upload thing (w...

You'll have to ask Devin about the cost of the cable... You can download CD-i Link from ICDIA here (its under PC/Windows Downloads, CD-i communication tools). It comes with a description of the required cables in the file cables.txt . I know of several people who have done the cable themselves, it i...

Here are some answers for you: The unlimited edition of CD-i Emulator will cost 25 euro (about 31 US dollars with current rates). You will need a CD-i system ROM to use it, which is copyrighted and I won't be providing it. It can be uploaded from a "real" CD-i player using a serial cable that you ca...

Painful question :oops: I need to do a little bit more compatibility work; as of right now there are still a few kinks in the emulation for the most abundant player models (e.g. no sound from memory for the Mono-II and up players). I hope to have this finished some time this weekend and will then pu...

Several people here (including me) have copies of those books; they used to be available from the Dutch "CD-i Gold Club". I'll have to make a list some day. If somebody wants to scan them, you're welcome but right now I don't have the time... Some of the books aren't really useful because they refer...

I've sent freetimer a disk image of my OS9 System Disk, together with a "bootimage" for the 615 (really any player with a floppy drive) that can be used with cdilink to get the image file on an OS9 floppy. I couldn't read the OS9 disks on my PC, even under straight DOS with ANADISK/TELEDISK, so I ha...

If the 180 technical manual is anything like the 605 technical manual, it would be a goldmine. That one describes the boot process (including download protocol), memory layout, serial connections, the extension board (full chipset details for this one), etc etc.

The sticker on the power brick of my CD-i 450/05 says this: TYPE 20 PS 301/00 Accessory Number 22ER9156/00 12NC 022 729 15601 Serv Code Number 822 214 52166 INPUT: 100 - 240V AC 50 - 60 Hz OUTPUT: +5V DC 3.3A 16,5W MAX -5V DC 0.25A 2W MAX And on the back of the player it says +5V 3A, -5V 0.2A, DC In...
