This odd setup also prevents standard Video CDs from playing on the CD-i. See, when the Philips CD-i released (note that my CD-i is the only method I have of playing these Video CDs), Philips added 4 certain files to their Video CDs that prevented them from playing on standard Video CD Players. So I decided to try my hand at making some. Anyway, to get to the point, ever since I learned of Video CDs' existence, I've been fascinated with them. In fact, one store here in my Hometown sells Laserdiscs and makes a lot of money doing it. This is going to sound strange to everyone, I am sure, but I really like what one would describe as "dead formats", but "dead" is far from the truth! While the Video CD is not making a comeback, Laserdiscs and (as far as I know) Betamax Tapes have big collector markets these days. I also do other "technical" things that involve long, drawn out processes due to modern hardware being a pain to work with in regards to retro stuff. I am always getting into something, but during free time, I like to experiment with many technical things, ROM Hacking being one such example. ![]() ![]() What is the Holiday Season for you? For me, it's the idea of "free time" (and spending time with friends and family, above all else). ![]() Posted under Holidays, CDi, NES, Genesis, Hack, VCD Posted on Dec 6th 2016 at 09:36:40 AM by ( ReddMcKnight)
