      The latest 8-Bit Guy video is about the Philips CD-i, and it's neat because it goes into the non-game parts of the system, too. Especially because of the photoCD!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxSCNhblC3g&t=0s …

      It's amusing because he ran into exactly the same problem I did with my optical exhibit: You simply can't find PhotoCDs anymore! They're all full of people's personal photos so they don't show up on ebay, and they're old enough that everyone tossed them.pic.twitter.com/lQQ6LfIRcj

      it's also impossible to search for them even if they WERE on ebay, because if you search "photo CD" you don't get the photo CD format, you get CD-ROMs with photos on them.pic.twitter.com/UFAUGeDMbS

      The first time I did my optical exhibit I had to use this PhotoCD sampler, which similarly is a promotional pressed CD for the format, not a real PhotoCD.https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1000830612687675392 …

      So this is a Kodak PhotoCD sampler, from 1992. It's designed to show off the format, so it contains some High Quality pictures, at least for the time. It contains software to read Photo CDs, for both Windows 3.x and CD-i. Here's the pictures. pic.twitter.com/TRrQiBl47d

      The other neat thing about PhotoCD that I was hoping he'd mention: The Philips CD-i doesn't actually support PhotoCD. No, really. It's advertised on the box and everything but the Philips CD-i has ZERO support for PhotoCD... but it works.

      So how do PhotoCDs work on the CD-i if it has no support for it? Well... The Philips CD-i is also a game system, remember?

      So Philips got Kodak to include CD-i binaries on every PhotoCD disc. So the CD-i doesn't need to support PhotoCD... because every PhotoCD is also a CD-i "game".pic.twitter.com/cdIb30f6pA
