@TheMogMiner I read what you wrote about CD-i emulation and the difficulties faced; but my eye as drawn to you mentioning no dump for certain variants, etc. Are you sourcing them/trying to get them decapped or can the DU/me chip in cash or something?

In theory, the majority of players have been dumped. I'd assume so since CD-i Emu has support for them. However, the CD-i scene has as much a problem with hoarding as the Japanese arcade scene does. I'm not actively buying un-MAMEd players to dump, but you can if you want. :)
Replying to my own post, and in the hopes that @Interact_Dreams sees - the CD-i platform rather interesting, and has unique hurdles to emulating it. Dumping the systems involved and ensuring good community coverage is only part of it, but it's a good start.

One of the most interesting things to me is that the CD-i platform was more akin to platforms from around 2005 onward than its late-80's contemporaries. It was the first console that demanded developers interface with just the system libraries, and avoid direct hardware access.

It's worth mentioning that this presents multiple issues for emulating the CD-i: It's not a matter of emulating a single platform, it's a matter of emulating a specific implementation of the player spec.

Very informative posts! I collected it in an overview to give a broad view on the current state of Mame CD-i emulation. I hope to gather the CD-i community together to see if we can speed up things and find help on these issues. CD-i deserves a good spot in Mame :)

Patience is probably the main thing that's needed, and/or someone with more time and more 68k familiarity to decompile the relevant CDIC management routines for the 'cdimono1' BIOS in MAME. My day job is kicking into high gear lately, leaving me without much hoby-coding time.
