The World of CD-i

Discord CD-i Server

Posted on 13/01/2021 by omegalfa

Who never heard of Discord? It is commonly used in the gaming communities, and now, the CD-i also have a dedicated place on it.
Randam Hajile created the server and Dopply made the rest of the job.

We have been invited directly by Dopply to join it.
As all other CD-i sites are represented there, we found normal to also be there to give a 24/7 support for all our already members and other people (CD-i lovers or not).

Join the Discord CD-i room right now!

Back in 2005, on Le Monde du CD-i, we already had a live 24/7 chat based on mIRC embed on the site and we meet a lot of people. Some of them are now on this new Discord server. At that time some people used to say it was a nonsense place… but it seams we was a little bit ahead… or others was a little bit against…

This Discord server is an independent place, not related to any other websites.

Another Blazers exclusive title – Help!

Posted on 11/01/2021 by omegalfa


Blazers… again… This guy keeps amazing me everyday…
This time we are talking about a Professional Safety Training for supermarket employees that need the DVC.

Help! Company Emergency Response Training for Super Markets.

This is a triple discs case from 1996 and created by Signum Informatie, it will train employees to be prepared for any kind of health emergency that can happen on a Super Market in The Netherlands.

The employee will do the test/exam alone, an employee number will be given to him (or he use his actual employee number) and using the virtual keypad on screen, he will identify himself to get his test recorded for a future “boss” verification. Then he will have to say if it is the first time he is doing this test or if he already did it.

Presented by a well-known presenter called Jan Douwe Kroeske, he will show you how to use the training CD-i title and also explain the different situations.

Actors (some famous in The Netherlands) will play roles as super market employees and create different situations in Digital Video. After each video you will have to choose between several options. Each right answer will be shown as a green light on the left vertical score line, and every wrong answer will light a red one.

This is a Dutch (The Netherlands) exclusive title, and only spoken in this language.
Super Markets and stores was aimed by this CD-i training disc, like:
Albert Heijn bv, De Boer Winkelbedrijven nv, Hermans Groepbv, Schuitema nv, Samenwerkende Dirk van den Broek Bedrijven.

3 discs in only one set. Each disc content separate categories:
Disc 1:
Introduction, First Aid 2, Test.
Disc 2:
First aid 1.
Disc 3:
Fire Evacuation.

You might also have seen, First Aid 1 is on disc 2 and First Aid 2 is on disc 1. But it is normal and even explained on the back cover:
Note: the chapters aren’t in order on the disc!
Surely for a question of space on the disc.


I have the same opinion as Blazers:
Games like this are why nobody will ever have a complete CD-i collection.

USB 2 CD-i Controller Library

Posted on 04/01/2021 by omegalfa

Our website member TwBurn just smashed our forum with this great news!
He did managed to use a Wii U and a Switch pro controller to play some CD-i games.
This is still very soon to call it victory, but he made it. The first step as been done, and he can be proud of it!
Using an Arduino PCB known to be very versatile and compatible with almost everything, he created an Arduino Library that support 4 different modes.

His work is available on our Open-Source section.

On our forum, he says:

I’ve created an Arduino Library which can be used to emulate a CD-i controller. Currently it supports four different modes (Relative, Maneuvering, Absolute Coordinate and Absolute Screen). I’m hoping to also add Keyboard support once I can find some documentation on the subject.

I’ve been using this library together with a USB Host Shield to connect some modern controllers (in my case a Wii U and Switch Pro controller) to the CD-i with acceptable to good results, depending on the title used. I’ve included these as examples in the library.

The library can be found on: https://github.com/TwBurn/cdi-controller-library

For future updates I hope to include some more examples (like an USB mouse, keyboard), workout some issues, as well as moving my hardware beyond a prototyping phase so I don’t have random wires running over my desk.

Thank you TwBurn!
Your work will help so many people…
