I don't think so but I've had a very busy year. So please bear with me for a while longer...

I have been swamped with work this year; between that and my family there's been hardly any time and/or energy left for CD-i Emulator developments. I did some DV work at the beginning of the year but that's been it. Hoping for some time off toward the end of the year, to get things stable enough for...

If this disc uses FMV (and I think it does from the description) then it won't work with the current public emulator version.

I guess the SCART output doesn't include S-Video? It does have both Y/C and R/G/B, though.

R/G/B is better than S-Video (less color crossover), but you probably knew that.

Which players? Which CD-i's?

This is unfortunately a known issue (to me). :oops: Because these are beta versions, I included date limits. Version 0.5.3-beta1 no longer works as of 2011/01/01. Version 0.5.3-beta2 no longer works as of 2012/01/01. The same goes for version 0.5.3-beta3 (not public). It was my intention to release ...

As long as the cd drive isn't spinning and nothing overheats, there should be little extra wear from keeping your player turned on (AFAIK there are no moving parts other then the cd drive). If you have a so-called "CD-i null modem" cable you could backup and restore your saves using the CD-Interlink...

A little tidbit I just found out from studying the 210/60 and 220/80 service manual main board schematics: the B&O machine has the same Mono-IV mainboard, and it can be switched between PAL and NTSC.

You could ask these people: BONAMI SPELCOMPUTER MUSEUM, they have an AV5 on display.

Still need to get it's ROMs, though...

I've written tons of C++ code for CD-i using gcc 2.5.8 (different port). No big problems that I'm aware of.

You need to make disc images; the emulator will not directly read from the CD drive of your PC.

There are various "backup" guides that tell how to do so; esp. CD-i Ready discs can be a bit of a problem.

Once I've done some testing and possibly some more modifications I will upload it somewhere. I have been busy with other things recently...

Link goes nowhere (previously it did), so I presume so.
