miniCDi - Philips CD-i emulator

[P0intnCl1ckIt]

I put multiple BIOS files in this "rom" folder, but the emulator is stuck on this screen. What am I actually supposed to do?

Try sd/miniCDi/rom instead, or whatever folder your config file points to. That at least got the bios to start for me. If you are able to actually play any games, please let me know how you were able to do it!

That never worked for me, and I pointed it to each. No difference.

One of these bios is required
cdi200.rom or cdi220b.rom

Place bios in 'rom' folder
sd:apps/miniCDi/rom

Disc images go in 'disc' folder
example- Zelda - The Faces of Evil.bin
Zelda - The Faces of Evil.cue
Tetris.bin
Tetris.cue

Starting a game takes 30 seconds or so. Wait on the blue screen for it to load.

Okay all of those steps sound familiar but my results have been wildly different. At what point do you run into a game selection screen? Does it load the bios first, and if so do you have black bars obscuring it?

So, after all this time, it turns out I had ALL the files set up perfect. I just never waited the 55 seconds it takes a game to load, as it always seemed like the emulator was doing absolutely nothing.

Maybe for a game like Daytona USA, you could expect a 55-second wait... for a CDI game...

You are wrong.

You have to wonder what Ganon is up to.
