Sorry for the strange topic title, didn't have a clue how to call it:p

Now for my problem:

I (well, my parents) bought a CDi when it was new, about 10(?) years ago.
It always did it's job: letting me play my videogames.
That is, untill I recently got it out again and tried to play Link; faces of evil.
It wouldn't save.
So I immediately thought of the intern battery, and after a search, I (today) took the chance and tried to replace the battery ---> failure :(
The crystalpart thing probably broke

So now my CDi doesn't work anymore (it doesn't even do anything when I turn on the power)...and I was wondering if the emulator would still work on this CDi?

thanks for your help:)

you know CD-i Emulator works on your PC, right? The only problem is that you can't get your ROM out of your player anymore. If you need to get the ROM, send me a PM. For any help to start with CD-i Emulator, check this guide.

It may still be possible to get the ROM; the player needs to be VERY broken for this to not work, as CD-i Link only needs a working CPU, ROM, RAM (the serial port is integrated on the CPU chip).
