Where is your CD-i hooked up?

Anything relating to CD-i can be discussed in this forum. From the multiple hardware iterations of the system to the sofware including games, reference, music and Video CDs. Maybe you hold an interest in Philips Media and the many development houses set up to cater for CD-i if so then this is the forum.

Where is your CD-i hooked up?

Post by Trev » Fri Jul 01, 2011 5:30 pm

Mine is in my living room ... one of only a handful of systems to make the cut. The reason I guess is (even though I love my gameroom) I spend more time in the living room. And I want the systems I enjoy the most to be where I am the most. I also think it is an interesting enough system to show off to any company who might be interested. Besides some unique games, it has some cool music/art discs which make for nice background filler.

I admit to being kinda surprised that my CD-i is in my main room when other, admitedly better, systems aren't. What can I say though, I'm digging it.

Where is yours hooked up?

:P Ha ha. Funny! (Kinda depressing, but still funny)

Is the timekeeper dead, or do you just not play it anymore?

Mines in my games room with all the other systems.

The only console I have in the lounge is the xbox 360 which gets the most use :-)

Yes the timekeeper is dead (since more 5 years I think :)

Such a hideous design flaw ... imho, it is killing what remains of the CD-i fan scene.

It's sitting next to my computer, collecting dust at the moment, stupid timekeeper battery!

How long does it usually take for the battery to run totally dry before you can play again? (minus saving of course)

mine was hooked up in my loft which was my game room. by hooked up I mean its just sitting on the tv cabinet. I never keep consoles connected to power, just leave them out and plug them in when needed. the only console I had hooked up in the lounge was my 3DO, looks good on a plasma screen too. just moved houses though so got nothing hooked up at the moment

I've got a 3DO hooked up but have practically no games for it!

It looks nice though

It'll look even nicer w/more games. :wink: I might have some duplicates if you ever want to trade for some CD-i stuff.

I don't think I have any spares for the CDi :-( but have spares for things like Master System/Mega Drive etc unless your after one of my CD-i consoles? I have loads now and not really the space to keep them all.

just burn some games, it's even easier then with CD-i. try out of this world, freaking amazing port of that game. although FMV games don't burn very well. I bought a brand new copy of cyberia and sometimes that even stuffs up for some reason. maybe it's my player though, i just got a cheap goldstar one.

Goldstar units (sad to say) don't measure up to the quality of the Panasonic 3DO's.
