CD-i emulation

Emulation is the term used when you want to make something work from a specific system, using something that is not the original platform.
In our case, play a CD-i title without the need of any dedicated player.

This quest isn’t new. Back to the early days of the interactive system development, Philips tried many ways to emulate CD-i titles to make it easier to develop new titles.

Find out all the different ways to emulate a CD-i title using a software.
Some of them are abandoned by their creator, others are still under development.

More tests of the upcoming CD-i Emulator 0.5.3 beta 5

The World of CD-i is the official tester of the CD-i Emulator.
We have access to the upcoming 0.5.3 beta 5 version. During our tests we are talking “in-loco” with CD-i Fan (emulator creator) to fix right away any easy bugs to improve compatibilities. Most of the FMV games are now working without any issues.
BurnCycle, our CD-i Emulator tester has completed another raw of tests. For anything concerning tests, contact him at burncycle@theworldofcdi.com.
To contact CD-i Fan (cdifan) about his emulator, contact him at cdifan@theworldofcdi.com.

New Team members @ The World of CD-i

At The World of CD-i, each team member knows exactly what to do.
We are in constant contact each other, to define new projects and areas to work on.
That is why we proudly announce 2 new official team members for his respective target.

CD-i Fan, the Emulator creator.
He will exclusively work on the Title Development section, under the Open-Source project, and of course continue with BurnCycle (emulator tester) to make a better experience of his Emulator.

Alan_CDiZone the biggest CD-i lover I ever know!
He will provide some experience of his incredibly huge collection and other material to the site database.
He is the man behind the now sadly closed Philips CD-i Zone Facebook page. He is a very busy man, but he will for sure answer you as soon as possible.
