Hello all, I've had some CD-i and PC beta versions sitting around for a while and I thought I'd share them with you as a late Christmas present. They can be downloaded here: https://mega.co.nz/#F!Xol2UaLY!q9JlfeTyOWy2Ay0CBEid3w (this a free account with limited bandwith so maybe the Prototopia project can mirror these) I'm not an expert in making correct images so CD-i discs were ripped using ISOBuster. The discs with audio tracks were ripped using CloneCD as it's the only tool I know that supports this format. And even with CloneCD I had to try like 5 different drives before I found one that actually manage to rip all the discs. I re-burned one of the images and it seemed to work but no guarantees. The PC discs with audio tracks were ripped with the redump tool DiscImageCreator. The CDR rips are made from CDRs that were actually used for testing some 20 years ago. Some discs, both pressed and CDRs, had read errors unfortunately Nothing special in there, but for the small amount of CD-i fans there is "Origami 2 - Doll's House" (not a game though) which as far as I know is a commercially unreleased title even though I did see an advertisement for it in a flyer. Any other unreleased games were previously made available on GameTronik I do not know what the differences (if any at all) are with the retail versions of these titles so have fun finding out Kind regards, candela
"some" versions, lol... that's quite a collection. Guess I better wait until I have faster internet again. Thanks for sharing! :encouragement: Heads up to anyone running into problems: The actual link still doesn't seem to work - you have to copy/paste the link text. (edit: seems fixed)
Holy fook !!!!!1 Thanks a lot sir ! No idea what to expect from a Mad Dog McCree test built ...have to try
That's awesome collection, thanks. Seems like most of games have "preview" status, like retail version in most of them. But anyway here is useful information for everyone: cd-i PC emulator: http://cdii.blogspot.nl/2012/08/mah-boi-keyboard-interface-to-use-with.html if games will request this - you can't run this on emulator: http://cdii.blogspot.ru/2009/05/digital-video-cartridge.html but you can extract the files from iso with this guide: http://cdii.blogspot.ru/2009/05/how-to-convert-cd-i-image-files.html Mirror of files (thanks to author of the article): https://www.mediafire.com/?hztqjqcx8b6yvjj http://icdia.co.uk/sw_pc/disctools.html http://cdii.blogspot.ru/2009/01/extract-video-from-vcd-and-digital.html
