Get your CD-i emulator here

[ReyVGM]

Finally, after months of searching I found a cracked CD-i emulator.

Now you can enjoy the campiness of the CDi Zeldas.

The rar comes with all the bios, all you need to do is open the emu, go to the options and select to auto recognize the disc.
Just mount your disc on Daemon and the game will start.
It will probably ask you to register the product, just write "disabled" and it will work.

My gamepad was automatically recognized for some reason.
And it's odd that it did considering the games are not even controlled with the keyboard, but with the MOUSE.

I've only tried Link Faces of Evil, so I don't know what other games will work.

Emulator:
xmoser.xm.funpic.org/cdiemu-0.5.2-full-anon.rar

ISOS (note, please use THESE dumps because I don't know if other dums would work):
Link - the Faces of Evil - PW: KameoCD-I
www.megaupload.com/?d=30EMHZN6

Zelda - the Wand of Gamelon - PW: KameoCD-I
www.megaupload.com/?d=HJV7JRKN

Zelda's Adventure - PW: KameoCD-I
www.megaupload.com/?d=KU6O0RVM

Hotel Mario - PW: KameoCD-I

If you want to try more crappy console emulators you can download a 3DO one, called FreeDO (www.freedo.org).
It works nicely and without much hassle.

dude I didn't know there was a full working emulator for cd-i.

Heres the website for the emulator.

"Full working" is stretching it a bit too far.
Plus the dude wants 30 dollars for a crappy emu he hasn't updated in almost 2 years and that only a handful of games work.

I'm only interested in the Zelda games and one has worked so far.

Here is Super Mario Wacky Worlds

Rey, I'm gonna write you a check one of these days.

Someone post a list of working games. Right now.

EDIT: I actually have CDi's "Escape From CyberCity", original. Do you think it will work?

[ReyVGM]

A check? For how much? Better send that over in small unmarked bills

I don't know if it will run. There are no compatibility lists for the emu, no support or updates.
Apparently Zelda's Asventure doesn't work.
I'll download other stuff and see if they work.

Oooh. Now I get to play the crappy Zelda CD-i games. Again. Not sure if I want to go through that experience again, though maybe I can appreciate them in a MST3k sort of way now.

I first played them when I was like 8 or 9. They had a CD-i demo unit at the local Service Merchandise with Faces of Evil on it. It was horrible.

[Shellshock]

Damn it, just a couple of games work. Not really worth a compilation article.

I did, and I typed in "disabled" for the iso but the folder still came up empty. Curse you CD-I emulation! Why won't you let me play licensed Nintendo games?

The passwords to get the isos unzipped are:

KameoCD-I

You type in "disabled" in the blank text box when you start up the emulator for the first time.


I have a logitech gamepad and it didn't recognize it. Playing with the mouse is horrid!

Holy hell, figures it was right in front of me. Thank you both ReyVGM and neomerge
