New CD-I version first steps.
The most difficult part of programming a system is getting the initial code going. I managed, with the help of CD-I Fan, to get some initial code running for the CD-I CD RTOS. The demo does not use any functionality of Balboa. The old demo used Balboa.
I converted an old demo to run on the CD-I. It can be downloaded from http://www.chaos89.com/DemoZone/
The demo runs correctly on a NTSC or PAL game system, with the screen centered in either mode.
This includes a good starting point for a graphical system for Frog Feast.
I got a CDI-370 in today. This will make it easy to test out a game in either NTSC or PAL, since it can be switched between modes,and displays correctly in either mode on the built it LCD.

Hi Charles
I've been a cd-i owner for 13 years and posted comments on Blackmoon & Le Monde du cdi. I just wanted to say that I'm SO HAPPY that you are creating a new game for our very much underrated system. I'm sure this game will be a BIG SUCCESS, because cd-i is still popular worldwide (just check out e-bay). I CAN'T WAIT for this game to be released. Do you think it may be ready in time for Christmas? Please please stick with the production - over the years cd-i has had so many games in the pipeline which have never seen the light of day; this has lead to many disappointed cd-i gamers. Put me down as your first order for this game :-)
KEEP CD-i ALIVE!!
Very Best Wishes,
Alan
Due to my buggy sample code and Charles managing to make a working title nevertheless, this demo doesn't play correctly in NTSC on current versions of CD-i Emulator; it triggered conditions that I've never before seen in a CD-i title and did not properly emulate.
The current development version of CD-i Emulator has these bugs fixed.
