I'm in the midst of re-organizing a "Non-Redump" set for Philips CD-i and in the process I've accumulated a hefty set of images - largely from Hidden Palace - of CD-i preproduction discs. I'm publishing this collection here for reference purposes, all credits to Hidden Palace for these images (except The Apprentice and Digital Video 1.01)!
CD-i Fan was kind enough to share his cache of Philips-related photos from the Home Computer Museum with us - an amazing resource of visual documentation for the packaging of many very rare discs. icdia.co.uk has additional photos and a list of contents to help guide you through the photos seen below (along with a lot of other neat stuff)!
This massive drop of photos includes many discs dumped by redump.org preservationists on location at the museum. Surely this will be one of Preserve CD-i's best posts and I've put comparatively little effort into it!
A "1.1" version of Felix the Cat was preserved by comparing a CD-R dump from the Home Computer Museum and a CD-R dump from Steep Haywire. See the Redump entry here.
However, interestingly enough - a "Final Version" (version 1.03) official preproduction pressed disc is floating around somewhere out there on the internet. The pic is first documented on 2019/07/18 via Interactive Dreams blog. Unfortunately uncredited, the pic was likely via a Facebook group and the owner we don't of documentation of.
The slight blur on this photo obscures, but there is a clearly defined and distinctly-Philips outer silver ring around the disc label that clearly points of this disc being an official CD-i preproduction pressing.
If you happen to own this disc, please reach out to me as we'd love to see this proto properly preserved.
