Make sure to uncheck the three boxes in the 'Emulator edit' tab.Ĥ: Under 'Associated Platforms' tab add the platform name (Phillips CD-i) and check 'Default Emulator' box.ĥ: Under 'Default Command-Line Parameters' type 'cdimono1 -cdrm'įollowed these steps almost exactly. If you already have bin/cue files you can convert them to CHD).Ģ: Make sure you have correct CD-i bios file (cdimono1) in your Mame > roms folder.ģ: Set Mame as your emulator. The key take-aways for CD-i emulation in Mame are ġ: Import your Phillips CD-i roms into Launchbox (CHD format is preferred for your roms, bin/cue files don't seem to work well. They definitely need to make an updated video for this, took me hours to figure it out with bits and pieces of outdated info from several different sources. So far i got nothing to work at all and i've been scratching my head for a few hours, so my question is simply: how do i emulate Philips CD-i in 2019?Ĭan confirm it works! Just got CD-i games up-and-running in Mame 215 and Launchbox using the above tutorial and whatever else I could scrounge up around the net. there needs to be some way to get this to work in RetroArch, or at least through MAME. I got the cdimono1.zip as well (i've put that in the retroarch/systems/ folder as arcadepunks did ) The 2016 tutorial video also has -cdrm as a command line option for MESS but since then LaunchBox has been updated and it doesn't look quite like in the tutorial anymore. This is obviously RetroArch's core options menu, but when i load any of the MAME or the 2 old MESS cores in RA i get no core options at all.īut 'cdrm' seems to be important. The 3 stand-alone emulators listed there are not recommended, almost 10 years outdated and one is a paid-only beta and has no acceptable (gamepad) input methods (or so the wiki says).Īrcadepunks has setup instructions for one of their sets where i noticed this picture indicates that there is a libretro core for MAME which is the only recommended emulator there.īut the wiki does not go into detail which MAME core works (there are multiple) or how to set it up, just a yes this exists checkmark. cue files by now or is CHD through MESS / MAME still the only option? It is 2 years later, did we find a way to play. MESS has been merged with MAME in the meantime.
