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…

New Addition – Weather Kitchen™

Posted on 02/12/2020 by omegalfa

Weather Kitchen™ is a USA title release in 1995 for kids aged 3 to 8 years old.

It is a fun, educational game for children ages 3-8.
The animated bowl guides your child through reading and weather lessons with toe tapping music.

You will need a DVC to play it and it is a CD-i Ready disc, so you can listen to the musics on any Audio CD player.
Good luck to find it, as it is a very rare one…

Blazers & Seventyy7, you are the men!

New Addition – Antonio Vega – Océano de Sol

Posted on 01/12/2020 by omegalfa

Antonio Vega – Océano de Sol is the very first Spanish album using Digital Video on CD-i.
Thanks to Blazers we can now have a look at the covers. This video music title was free back in 1994 as it was sponsored by Passport Scotch.
It is also the first time we can see the Digital Video Cartridge logo stamped on the disc, a very cool detail.
This disc is a CD-i Ready title, so it also can be playable on any audio CD player.
