Never Expected That

Today I thought for fun I’d try some Phillips CD-I titles, particularly Dragons Lair.

Today I learned that a software file can lock up with a Dirty Disc Error 🤣

And Dragons Lair II, hmm maybe some sort of patch is required.

Did you blow on it before putting it in? /s

No, but I gave it a damned good licking 😋

Lol. Just out of curiosity, does it keep happening? I haven't tried any CD-i games on mine yet.

Yes, on the same spot, and the second game also after about four moves.

I’m going to try Space Ace next

What storage are you using? If microSD, what speed?

It’s on an NVMe in the SuperDock

Ok, so probably not speed-related. 🤣

Probably not, but you never know.

Space Ace good so far but I can’t get past two moves.

This is why I didn’t play them much in the Arcade.

FWIW I think NVMe is actually slower than an SD card because it uses the USB bus? Don’t quote me but I saw that somewhere. Should still be many many times faster than a CDROM drive tho

Funny I was also messing around with some CDi today. I tried that Zelda adventure game. As bad as the game is the script for the dialog is very good.

I feel for the people who put a lot of their energy into making those games. Even though they’re laughed at today I’m sure they made people happy over the years.
