      @escc1986 Out of interest, do Zelda: Wand of Gamelon and Link: Faces of Evil work on your Pi CD-I setup? They both freeze as gameplay starts with mine.

            Okay, that is exactly the same for me - Wand is identical in behaviour. Booooo. Thanks for testing. :)

            Edit: I've tried to change some of the Options settings now, but nothing changes this from happening. Most annoying!

                So these games have the same issues for you both.
                Changes are, I will have the same troubles then.

                  I've never played them, so it is a bit disappointing. I was quite excited.

                  @Folly Yep, I think you are right.

                  Edit: Actually, just thinking about it.. I don't have that many CD-I games that work. Any recommendations for games that do? Apart from Hotel Mario.

                    Damn, I have trouble finding my roms, which harddrives, which computer.

                    I have dusted off my old x86 computer on which I know that it still contains some games.
                    On that computer I did the first steps to get "Philips CD-I" working in 2018.
                    I found quite a lot off roms in cue/bin which I converted to chd.
                    I also found some old converter scripts I used for that purpose.
                    And some scripts that extract some info from the cdi.xml hash, getting the no-clones only and the supported games.

                    I place these games, that supposed work, in a different directory.
                    Not tested now, but now I can copy them, and look at them again.

                    This is the list :
                    alice in wonderland (1993)(philips)(nl).chd

                      These weren't working correctly :
                      burn-cycle (1994)(philips)(eu)[!].chd.boots logo then black
                      escape from cybercity (1992)(philips)(eu-us)[!].chd. (works until the menu)
                      girl's club - the fantasy dating game (1993)(philips)(us)[!].chd. (dirty cd warning)
                      go - special edition.chd. (lines in display / bad_sectors info in cdi.xml)
                      grand prix special (1994)(xdra)(eu).chd. (won't boot)
                      jigsaw - the ultimate electronic challenge (1992)(philips)(us)[!].chd. (joystick problems)
                      mega maze v1.06 (1994)(philips)(eu)[!].chd. (works until maze then the joystick will not work anymore)

                        Perhaps a good idea to refurbish this post.

                        If possible :

                        • give it a better name.
                        • summarize everything in the first post

                        Like we do in :

                        Are you able to do that ?

                          @folly Burn-Cycle is on your good list but freezes on the title screen for me, I'll have to try it again.

                          I can confirm that Merlin's Apprentice and Zelda's Adventure are runners.

                          @escc1986 what are we thinking title-wise? "CD-I emulation through lr-mess" ? Aside from that, it is just a copy paste of Fol's instruction messages I think, that will make up the body of the topic.

                                  You don't have to do it in 1 day, you know.
                                  Just take your time.

                                  Perhaps this is a better thread name, a bit more general :
                                  CD-I emulation

                                  or

                                  All about Philips CD-I

                                  Because it's now also possible with mame on rpi and we can discuss more.
                                  What do you think.

                                      Seems you have created a new thread.
                                      Well we can use that thread too if we want.
                                      But it should be possible to change the name of the thread.
                                      It's not the end of the world, you know.
                                      You can try again, if you can't then it doesn't matter.

                                          Leave it for now.
                                          I can't find it also, how to change the thread name.
                                          In time I will ask someone who knows.
                                          Then we can try again.

                                            Leave it for now.
                                            I can't find it also, how to change the thread name.
                                            In time I will ask someone who knows.
                                            Then we can try again.

                                            It's good to have the steps for what you've done here in a thread anyway, at least it is more searchable now.

                                            So MAME can run it as well? Have you tried CD-I through that or is it a lot of effort (not that things being convoluted has stopped you before...)?
