Anything relating to CD-i can be discussed in this forum. From the multiple hardware iterations of the system to the sofware including games, reference, music and Video CDs. Maybe you hold an interest in Philips Media and the many development houses set up to cater for CD-i if so then this is the forum.

Ok, in testing out the CD-RTOS routines, I converted on old demo to the CD-I. It can be downloaded from
http://www.chaos89.com/DemoZone/ or directly at
http://www.chaos89.com/DemoZone/CDIChaos89.zip
I need people to test out this file. It's been tested on a CD-I 370 in PAL and NTSC, and a Philips and Magnavox CD-I 450.
A big thanks goes to CD-I Fan for 'helping' me getting this going. I think we exchanged 20 e-mails or more. I would be willing to bet there aren't many people who understand the CD-I more than he does!

I'm impressed, but I'd like to know what it is you've done with all the techno babble you can type!
Works on my 350 BIOS in CD-i Emulator. I'll try burning a disc and running it through the SONY unit.

This is still the 360-NTSC version, right?
You don't mention if your 450s were PAL or NTSC.
Or is that what you meant with Philips vs. Magnavox?
Could everyone please report their PAL/NTSC info with their test?
PS. Thanks for the compliment

Yeah, I haven't posted the fixed version. No need to, now that Frog Feast is starting to show progress...
They are actually a Magnavox 550 (NTSC) (Looks just like the 450, I've had it awhile), and a Philips 450 (PAL). Are Magnavox machine NTSC only?

Yes, there is only one set of 450/550 roms: it will display the Philips or the Magnavox logo depending on PAL/NTSC, as verified by CD-i Emulator. This is probably a jumper or something on the real player...
