Brand new CD-i owner with some questions

Post by famicommander » Mon Jun 21, 2010 7:19 pm

I just got an LG CD-i Portable, model number GPI-1100M.

I was wondering a few things about it.

First off, how much is it worth? I have a sneaking suspicion that I got an incredible deal on it.

Second, is that an integrated control pad I see built onto the unit?

Third, is it compatible with these two controllers:

And finally, does the Touch Pad controller map the third button in the same way the Game Pad controller does?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

EDIT: I thought you might like to see some pictures

Incredible find, especially boxed!

The LG does have integrated controls, the first pad pictured should work fine the second one I can not gurantee would work with your LG. It has problems with latter CD-i units! Also the third joypad button is simply a combination of buttons 1 and 2 so you have the alternative luxury of simply pressing the one button for the same effect! As ridiculous as that sounds :D

Price should be in 3 digits, for the UK I'd estimate £150 at least. As with all things CD-i it depends who's buying!

Thanks for the information. I paid 80 US dollars plus shipping for the unit, and I'm waiting for it to arrive from eBay.
