Of course you remember the promising new open source CD-i Emulator by CD-i member Stovent, going strong by the name 'CeDImu'. He is continuously improving his emulation capabilities, now being able to somewhat boot the CD-i 490 ROM (which is available on the internet). He needed to implement compatibility of 32kb memory to make it boot, but he did succeed and it works. It will take a while before it can actually boot CD-i titles, but it's great to see him actively working on a new CD-i Emulator. Next to the Mame CD-i efforts and CD-i Fan's CD-i Emulator 0.6, this is probably the next promising effort in emulating CD-i. Stovent: "[Also] I have implemented the DS1216 bit pattern match and now completed the implementation. Probably tomorrow I'll have full 32KB NVRAM support."
Stovent is making good progress, being able to boot the CD-i 490 BIOS rom now as well. The colors are right, the cursor moved right, that's a nice progression. Stovent: "DVC support will be added when CeDImu will have a good compatibility with the base case system on several boards. If I get everything listed upper working, stable and fully functional, the goal is to create libCeDImu, a complete library (static and/or dynamic) to allow any program to implement CDI applications (other emulators like Bizhawk, MAME, etc). Many thanks to CD-i Fan for his help and his information that made me progress way faster than I could imagine."
