Firstly, when do you think you will let us have the emulator for free?

Secondly, when will it be able to use the keyboard?

hi ".", now tell me: when you have worked on a product for AGES, do you like to just give it away for nothing? What kind of support is that! Show a little respect here and support the cd-i community and don't act like a baby. Stop whining about this money issue for the lot of god!

Firstly, thanks to CDi fan for the CDi emulator.

I think is more important have the code before have a freeware version of emulator. But CDiFan has created the program and worked a long time to make it, and is he free to do anything.

I can't speak for CD-i Fan but i'm partially glad that CD-i Emulator is commercial in the sense you pay a little for the privilege of a Base Case Emulation program with free updates on the horizon. You need the original CD-i player ROMS anyway to use in conjunction with the emulator so it is a niche market. Hopefully this payment scheme eliminates those that would use CD-i player ROMS illegally as is typcical in many emulation circles. In short we hope it breeds a responsible CD-i community spirit.
