CDI (Mono) and the game Secret Mission

Hi all,

I'm trying to run Secret Mission on my lr-mess CDIMONO emulator, does not work for me? Did anyone try this one?

I'm running all the latest and greatest on a RPI4.

Hi Marc,

You game is not an DVC one, so it should be possible to get it working.

Do you use iso, img or bin/cue files ?

Find one in .chd format.
As far as I know, only .chd files will work with lr-mess.

If you can't find a .chd then you have to convert the file.
I give you extra info over how to create chd files from bin/cue :
install mame-tools:
sudo apt-get install mame-tools
cd to your path with game files
For example do :
chdman createcd -o "Arcade Classics (E)(CD-i).chd" -i "Arcade Classics (E)(CD-i).cue"
(tip: open the .cue as text to see if the right .bin is associated in the .cue file)

I hope that this is the solution for you problem.

(Dat zou mooi zijn, of niet!)

EDIT : Tested a .chd for you, I couldn't get this version to run either. So, perhaps you/we have got a wrong version, or this game does not work with lr-mess.

Dank!

I'm trying to convert an iso version I found.

chdman createcd -i "Secret Mission.cue" -o “Secret Mission.chd" , chdman only result is the ">". The command line seems to be allright but does not work. Cue file is correct ... strange ...

Don't have a solution for you right now.
Perhaps you have to convert the iso first to bin/cue.
Then convert this to .chd.

EDIT:
If the output of a command is ">" it expects additional things.
Seems that you cannot use " " " use " ' " instead.
(quotes are used if the filename contains spaces)

Try something like this :

chdman createcd -i 'Secret Mission v1.03 (1996)(Philips)(EU)[!].cue' -o 'Secret Mission v1.03 (1996)(Philips)(EU)[!].chd'

Conversion to ,chd worked.
Trying the .chd I still get a black screen !

Yes, that's it. Conversion work, result the same ... a black screen.

Thx for your guidance. Wordt vervolgd :-)
