IR-CD-I ???

Your so Helpful , Thank You For Everything

I was able to get everything to work thanks to you

I ran into some trail and errors with my set up but everything seems to be working for me now

From my tweaking I decided to stick with the default configuration ( I like the "Tab" key GUI for more options )

at first I tried the game and your right , nothing worked , I then proceeded to copy all your configuration setting in mine and got the mouse to work ... except my controller Dpad wasn't working , and the tab button wasn't working

So I did a reinstall to get the default settings , yes nothing works , mouse is disabled and all with default settings

So I tried this

I then opened the RetroArch GUI

Went to Options
Enabled In Game Mouse

And viola!!!!

The mouse worked for the CD-I Start up menu

I then proceeded with tab (opened up cd-I GUI )and configured my controller to the appropriate settings to play "Hotel Mario "

This is Great and Wonderful , Thanks to you :)

My only trouble some thing right now is I have that Horrible big White CD-I logo in my screen while playing any game

May I ask what is the appropriate settings that I should change or add so I can still my Screen cleared of this logo ?

Hope you can guide me

Thank you

Great to hear it's working.

To remove that logo you have to go to the "gui" of lr-mess with the "tab".
Choose video options and then select : Main Screen Standard (4:3)
I think when you exit the "gui", the video option will be saved.

You should know that with this new lr-mess, DVC (Digital Video Cartridge) games will likely still not work.

Thank you once again Folly , you have been so nice by helping me and I appreciate it so much

I made the video changes as you suggested and it worked wonderfully , also yes it does save the video setting , so I don't have to change it everytime :)

Also appreciate the advice that the DVC games don't work , no problem at all I'm enjoying so much of the cd-I content and games , plus I'm happy so many games are dedicated to my little one so he is enjoying it just as much ;)

Enjoy CD-I !

You now know a lot more !
Take advantage of this.
And you can help others too. ( who wants to run CD-I :) )

Try learning a some terminal commands and bash.
Then you can do a lot more !

Hi Folly

just a quick question

i have been using a theme that doesnt have CD-I Artwork ...

do you know any good themes for the pi that has a logo for CD-I ?

Folly

@escc1986

Hi,

Do you use the normal Carbon theme ?

I have made my own vector based pictures for CD-I for the Carbon theme.

I think you all ready have it.
Just look in the "es-theme-carbon" directory of my "retropie-philips-cdi-tools".
Copy the cdimono1 directory, with sudo rights, to /etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon/
and you are done.

You can also install other theme's that already have cdimono1 in it.
The Retropie-Setup script of valerino has also more themes in it. Just run the setup and goto "configuration / tools" => "esthemes"

I know that valerino/RetroCRT-240p has CDI in it, but I don't think that is what you are looking for. You can just try them 1 by 1.

Im Using a PC now , and want to get a set up of Cd-I games running on my pc ... i have looked around and there are no simple tutorails or step by step tutorails how i can play cd-i games on my pc ... any help ?

Folly

@escc1986

What OS do you have ?

escc1986

@folly

Windows 10

Folly

@escc1986

I can't help you with all, but I think you have multiple options :

you can install standalone MAME on windows 10
you can install retroarch on windows 10 and install the libretro-cores with them
I have heard of tutorials running RetroPie on windows
you could run a linux os seperately on and usb stick and then install RetroPie

Most simple option is to install MAME, I think.
