For all those fresh eyes enjoying the pics and roms ~ Remember, sharing is caring. And if you're not sharing, you're hoarding.
Lest it fly under the radar, a couple of very CD-i disc dump sets have been unleashed onto the archive today for the enjoyment of all. Thanks to Blazers for sharing these scans and disc images with the masses! Discs of this rarity are unicorns we'll unlikely see again.
These are old dumps from Blazers hard drive, so they'll be steering clear of redump.org database entry. But that doesn't mean you can't have a good time with 'em! If learning about teeth and law is your definition of a good time, of course.
Today I've migrated over a few dozen Demonstration Disc scans into the Preserve CD-i archive.org account. My journey with CD-i preservation started with the Demonstration Disc series and I'm VERY MUCH KEEN to continue work in this area. Anyone who is collecting from this series (or is interested in dumping what they have for preservation) please reach out to me so we can combine our knowledge.
Additionally, I've been pouring in research to build a thorough (BUT STILL VERY INCOMPLETE!) preproduction disc list over on the Redump wiki.
Another fat batch of goodness comes courtesy of our dear friend at The World of CDi, omegalfa. Dozens of undumped discs in this batch, with UnlockerPT heading the dumping / datting effort!
Tons and tons of rare multimedia in here! Arte Rupestre, Divination, Japanese Gifts to Behold, Triumph of the Baroque, and on and on.
Another fine batch of CD-i titles finds its way temporarily into my clutches via Blazers, the other half of the CD-i preservation godhead.
Among the batch is the cool baby smoking the cigarette (the baby is waaay cooler than you'll ever be, admit it), SOLAR CRUSADE the super expensive late game release in the CDi catalog, a fistful of other Euro exclusive games - Wimbledon Challenge, Whack A Bubble, Magic Eraser, No Problem All The Fun Of the Fair, Tetsou Gaiden, as well as a handful of jewelcase editions of USA titles that were also released on longbox (as part of a research experiment to find USA software revisions), Alice In Wonderland (just another game title we needed to cross off the USA games miss list), and the retail version of CD-i-branded VCD release "Wings Over the Gulf" (which we've confirmed matches the white label demonstration disc release).
This batch touches on a few of the milestones we should be coming up to in the next few months:
