#Philips cdi emulator windows software

I certainly had a lot of fun playing on those odd home entertainment devices. I'd imagine that someone will pick this project up again - MAME the arcade machine emulator I'd imagine will come to a critical mass of hardware support - so its sister project MESS (which deals with computer emulation) may get some well deserved attention, thus possibly instigating a new CD-i emulator. which can sadly only play Rise Of The Robots - and it hasn't been updated for some time. I did hear about a CD-I Emulator way back, and after some googling I found this:

So technically it should be possible for 'some kind' of software to be writtn to read the information!ДЄnd although a PC may not be able to be configured to read the disc and decode the information on it in 'real time' (like a LaserDisc player does in hardware) I would have thought it should be possible for a PC to look at the one's and zero's and make some sense of them in software. Even though the A/V section of the disc is decoded in an analogue format, the informaion is still stored on the disc in one's and zero's.

Now you pose an interesting technical challenge. Luckily enough, my Pioneer PAL/NTSC LaserDisc player still works so I can play the few (all PAL) that I have. Yes, I guess you could describe them as being small LaserDisc's. CDROMs will not read these type of discs at all. The best way to describe it is like the signal on a video cassette tape recorded onto a CD. If it's a small LaserDisc, it's analog, not digital.
