Interactive Dreams has always been close to the development of CD-i Emulator since the very beginning in 2005. Instead of several concerns on the internet that cdifan's CD-i Emulator is not being developed anymore and in fact abandonded, quite the contrary is true: Thanks to the work of CD-i member BurnCycle we now know what CD-i games will be compatible with the upcoming beta5 of CD-i Emulator. Considering the percentage of completeness of CD-i Emulation, I'm pretty confident the version number 0.53 does not do justice anymore, this feels like version 0.6 at least (the number shows, according to cdifan) the percentage of how complete/accurate CD-i emulation ia at this moment). We shared before compatibility tests, thanks to The World of CD-i, and we're happy to report the list has been extended so it's time to update it.
