Hey Jamie, My mom bought me my CD-i in like 92' at Sears. I absolutely loved it. I was such a fan of Burn:Cycle, Inca, Hall of fame football, The encyclopedia, and so many more. I also remember being able to watch all my CD-i movies too. I just remember watching Forrest Gump A Lot! This emulator takes me back. I cant wait to play Burn:Cycle again. My issue so far is the whole Bios thing. You kind of just mentioned it and moved on. I am confused. What is it and where do I get it?
Bios is essentially its operating system..without it you cannot run it. You can Google search this. I am not permitted to link you by rules of TH-cam. Or. If you have a machine. You can extract via that method.
I'm kinda trying to set a controller up here because everything is controlled by the Mouse instead of the Keyboard for some reason and there's no controller settings...
The object is to close all the doors. You have to crush enemies because they re-open the doors. Collect coins along the way. It's kind of like the OG Mario Brothers, not Super Mario Brothers... Where you're on platforms and jumping around to collect things, only you're closing doors here. It's not BAD, it's just not Super Mario Brothers as we've come to know it. Also, I can't seem to get the 220 rom working, I got the 220b to work but it seems, WAY off the animation is out of sync with the audio and the game plays, oddly fast. just enough to notice.
Do you know if there is a way to get around the DVC for this emulator? Is there a rom file that I can put it that will act as the added memory? Thank you!
А huge number of good CD-i games, like Mutant Rampage: BodySlam or Dragon's Lair, require a Digital Video Cartridge add-on, without which the games do not work. It is very strange that at the moment no one has been able to programmatically emulate this module.
Tried this out as I wanted to play the Zelda games. With Links Awakening and Wand of Gamelon the cutscenes play at like 10x speed with no sound then sound starts a few minutes later. Zeldas Adventure does not load at all just a blue screen. Any advice? I am using the program version and BIOS file from the video. I have tried a few other BIOS files and games do not load at all. I know these games are horrible, but they have eluded me for a long time, and it seems like it takes an act of God to be able to play them.
Yup. I get you. They aren't great. It's a case of experimenting with the bios files and messing with settings. This is the best CD-i standalone out there and agreed it has its flaws. You are probably best using a frontend with a retroarch using a CD-i core to be honest. I have guides for retrobat, retroarch, and launchbox in my playlists.
Is there a way to get this to use a controller instead of a mouse? It seems like it only uses a mouse. Maybe it uses X input or something? I was trying to use a PS5 controller.
@@JustJamie1983 I used a Buffalo game pad and it worked. The emulator does not quite work perfectly. It locks up the 7th Guest if you click the mouse at the beginning.
Yup. Its not perfect by any means but it is pretty much the only emulator out there that is half decent. The developer hasn't touched it some time now.
@@JustJamie1983 Halfway decent? It's far from it. MAME has managed to do a better job than cdiemu. Even if it doesn't have DVC support, it has better control settings, and it's not paid.
@@JustJamie1983 I'm trying to play an unfinished game that I've wanted to play since 2014 called Super Mario's Wacky Worlds but I can't jump in it and idk the key to jump
Use Virtual Controller to bind keyboard buttons to a third-party controller. Although I would recommend MAME, it has better control support even if it doesn't have DVC support.
Yes, but since it is not complete and does not have an emulator as such, half of the games have many emulation problems, especially in the sound section.
@@JustJamie1983 hey! I did try looking for information on the controls on the website and unfortunately there’s nothing available. I’m going to try using a usb controller and see if that works! Love the video btw! Helped me get everything up and running!
@johnaltz8613 no probs at all Sir. Glad I could help. If you are into the Obscure side of systems. I have done 3DO, Jaguar, and several Micro computers. All in my playlists.
Virtual Controller, a program that maps your keyboard to buttons on a third-party controller, is great for playing emulators and games that don't recognize your controller.
The game works, but since DVC emulation is not complete yet, the game has many sound problems, especially clipping, other games like Atlantis: The last Resort, Lucky Luke, Solar Crusade, Mutant Rampage also have these sound problems, but yes, they are emulatable. Except Lucky Luke, which crashes after about 20 seconds.
I don't understand. I'm talking about the quality of emulation this program does and from what I tried 10 years ago it barely worked. none of the games run smoothly. unless it's changed recently?@@JustJamie1983
WTF has that got to do with anything you d#ckhead!!!! I was asking a question has the emulator improved or is it still broken. ITS CALLED PROGRESS for example the Atari jaguar emulation was bad for a very long time but now its perfect we have a jag emulator that can play both cartridge and cd games. Why are you making this about ME??? That is not what is important here!!!! IF I KNEW HOW TO CODE I WOULD DEFINITELY TRY but i don't WHICH IS NOT IMPORTANT its progress so we can preserve this piece of technology for decades to come. But then again you know that this isn't why your talking to me this way. Your here to start a fight because that's what trolls like you do. Your offended by my comment, WHY??????? Its been over 30 years since that piece of junk CD-i was released there should have been progress by now. For gods sake we can emulate the original X-box, PS3, the switch but the CD-I??? NOPE CANT DO THAT. AND IM THE BAD GUY. FOR ASKING A SIMPLE QUESTION. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!! You really are a piece of trash aren't you? All you had to say was a simple YES or NO.

Burn Cycle was amazing at the time. The commercial was very compelling!
Yes I can imagine. I vaguely remember it. Back then I had a C64 and was very happy with it.
Thank you so much for this !!!
Hey. That's OK 👍
5:47-6:10 This is art!
Why would they make a game about closing doors with Mario? At least we have the best moment in TH-cam! Bless this game!
Haha good one 😀 I think the devs got lucky to have permission from Nintendo and wacked anything inside a disc as long as Mario was used. Mario sells!

Mah Boi!
Many an hour spent at the local tesco checkout at 16, to save up for my own player and mpeg card!
Aww that's awesome. I would have been playing with my c64 back then.
My game is too fast. unable to play properly.
Please, Do you know how to fix this?
It will be likely an issue with the firmware. Try a different version.

Hey. Is your controllers drivers configured?
@@JustJamie1983 Not really.
@MDHRgaming ah OK. There's your problem. Get it setup and find out which drivers it needs.

Ah ok. b would be a revision (improvement of.the 220 system software). You have looked into the audio settings right?
Do you know if there is a way to get around the DVC for this emulator? Is there a rom file that I can put it that will act as the added memory? Thank you!

@pault.1292 just a little interest in systems like these.
It seems like 220 bios works the best with this emulator. I had a game that would freeze untill I used it.
Hey, thanks for letting us know.
The emulator won't respond to any input, keyboard or controller, and there doesn't seem to be anywhere to configure inputs. Any ideas?
Hmmm, to be honest. I am baffled with this.
Recommends using Virtual Controller, if you want to play with a controller.
how did you get hotel mario?
I ripped it from my disc.

@@JustJamie1983 but in Retroarch i have Same CDI Core , its good but core can't support quick save , i dunno what to do
got an issue, the cutscenes for hotel mario went really fast, but not the audio. what happened?
CD-I emulation isn't the greatest to be honest. Some games can be hit or miss.

hotel mario i got to the final hotel and i had to start over i was so angry
I'd look into the tabs at the top. Failing that Setup retroarch and you can save through their.
ok thank you jamie!

my cd-i emulator is running to fast. How to slow it down?
Answered in different post.
Do you know how to get this system work on a super console x?
Is the X got Retroarch running?
@@JustJamie1983 yes it does. It runs on emulec and retroarch . I see both of them in there.
@@Alpha5119 OK. So just set them up with bios like in this guide.
@@JustJamie1983 ok I will give it a try. Thank you
@@Alpha5119 you are welcome 😊
Is there any possibility to add DVC support?
Not as of now.
Yes, but since it is not complete and does not have an emulator as such, half of the games have many emulation problems, especially in the sound section.
Hi if I add that bios file to the cdi within retrobat will it play thanks
This is a standalone emulator. However. If you direct CDIEmu to the bios file which is located in your Retrobat bios directory. All will be well.
Ok thanks
@@MrAnthonyoneill my pleasure.

my sound is delayed can u fix?
To be honest it's not a 100% reliable emulator. But this is the best you will get. You could possibly search for a core to use via Retrobat?
maybe i could thank u !
@@sushiiyt3 no probs. I have a retrobat setup guide in my retrobat playlist.
Dies it work with batocera?
So long as Batocera supports it, sure.
Wait isnt this emulator crap? Like it hasnt been updated for over 15 years or something like that? And 90% of the games dont work?
Cdi Emulation is the same across everything. I wouldn't say that reverse engineering is "crap" either.
