Hi Charles. What's this about? The Demo I played works fine on my 490.

The game wasn't tested on a US CD-i 470, due to a problem reading CD-Rs.Bas wrote:And he posts "PLEASE READ: This title will not play back on Philips model CDI490 players!"

I do know it was tested on a Magavox CD-i 550 and a Philips CD-450. These units both use the Roboco board, which is supposed to be the same chipset as the CD-i 470/490. I would guess there is some other problem with the CD-i 490.
This was based on some information posted by CD-i Fan. From what I gathered, the only time a splitter won't work is if there are already two ports on the unit.Bas wrote:I remember Charles mentioning some multiplayer issues on players that require the splitter (the 4xx series that don't have a second controlle rport on board).
The only problem I noted was using a mouse on the CD-i 450. But, this was also a problem with Rise of the Robots.

Hello Devin & gang . . .
We tested the CD's sold at CGE2K7 and they did not work on three different CDI490 players I had for sale.
I did not have any problems playing them on:
CDI220, CDI910 & Radio Shack 910 Clone, CDI350 as well as the SONY portable I sold.
RW was to look into the brand of CD's they used . . . I've not heard back from him since CGE2K7 . . .
So, to cover my REAR, I added the "Not for CDI490" for now.

Were they not recognized as CD-i disks?GAMGATOR2000 wrote:We tested the CD's sold at CGE2K7 and they did not work on three different CDI490 players I had for sale.
If they were recognized, did they not startup, or have some problem before or during the game?
Have you tried any other CD-R disks on any of these systems?
Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
The game does use real time files and sounds. Small changes were made in the display code, but it hasn't affected any other cd-i player. The point of failure should tell a lot.Bas wrote:Do I see here the cause is just a low quality CD-R Oldergames used for publishing? The test version of Frog Feast runs perfect on my 490 player (brand: Philips (tssk)) - How could the game itself go wrong if the demo runs fine?
Is the CD-i 490 sensitive to CD-R's?

Have you tried any other CD-R disks on any of these systems? YES! (RW's PlunderBall also did not work on the CDI490's)
