you can remove the battery and don't put back a new one. But the player won't work anymore (at least just like with a dead battery I suppose :) Hold on, please clarify that: do you mean to say that just removing the battery won't fix the inability to save problem (obviously), or that by removing it...

Battery leaks?

As I mentioned in another thread, my CD-i's internal battery is now dead. It's a pity but I can live with it. However the question is... can the CD-i?

I'm worried that the dead battery may leak acid and destroy vital parts of the system. Do you huys think I should open it and remove the battery?

That all sounds awesome :D I'd like to learn about this IsoBuster extraction method... is it possible for you to give me some insturctions to follow that will work for all the tracks in the side scrolling Zeldas? Or does one have to figure it out individually for each track? If not, I guess I'll wai...

That's easy, just google Serkol and "Zelda's Adventure" :) http://cdinteractive.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1674&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=4eaa2b8cea6611b5fa0261f62c5a1e09 I actually once recorded some music from Zelda WoG and most (not like it has that many) from Zelda's Adventure, but i...

Ripping music

Hi guys, odds are no one remembers me, I dropped by in the past to interview one of the people that worked on Zelda's Adventure background photos... but that has nothing to do with this post. I just wanted to ask y'all if there exist some utility/tool to rip music out of CD-i games. In particular I'...

There was actually a lot more music written than what made it in the game, which is what I'm remembering. Really? I wonder if some of that is still in the disc, waiting to be dug out... That was one of the problems in the game; you could get stuck in areas where the masking on the terrain was not p...

All the music was composed by our talented in-house composer, Mark, who, believe it or not, also played Gaspra in the cut scenes. I had noticed that in the credits. Though I'd replace "All the music" with "What little music", given that most dungeons had atmosphere setting sounds, something Nintend...

Oh man, I hope I'm still in time to ask some questions. I have plenty! :) I remember that Nintendo had final approval rights over the product, and they did see and approve all the Zelda games, but I don't think they were ultimately that interested. I think they thought of CD-i as some little niche p...
