Hi, I'm trying to install the cd-i emulator on my pc. I've downloaded the emulator program and the Cd-i link program and have the Null modem cable connecting the Pc to the cd-i player, but i am confused as to what to do next. In all honesty i don't really understand the documantation provided with the programs
!! Can anyone tell me what i am suppose to do next to get the ROM files onto the pc. The model of the Cd-i player is 210 if tha has any bearing on it.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

You realize Cludeo won't work yet with the emulator
Welcome cluedofan, have you tried this:
For uploading the CD-i system ROMs you need to connect the nullmodem cable and type the following command line:
cdilink -roms
When cdilink says "Waiting for stub..." you must turn on the CD-i player
(if your player supports the download subset) or start the cdi_stub disc
(if your player does not support the download subset).
Note: when using the cdi_stub disc, you need to use the -nostub option.
If you've connected everything properly, cdilink will recognize the CD-i
player and start communicating with it. A typical cdilink -roms session
looks like this:
CD-i Link version 0.5.x
Waiting for stub...
Downloading cdistub...
00008XXX
Ending download stub...
CD-i Stub version 0.5.x
Reading module directory...
Reading module information...
00XXXXXX
Found XX modules
Reading memory list...
Building ROM list...
Uploading cdixxxy.rom (512K)...
00XXXXXX
Uploading xmpegy.rom (128K)...
00EXXXXX
Ending stub...
Done!
