cdi emulation

[Arcade]

any one know when cdi emulation be dragons lair compatible as in dvc compatible

[SentaiBrad]

No clue. If it's not running with MESS (the CD-i portion), then I don't know how long it will take to get compatibility up. Daphne should be able to run Laserdisc games though.

SentaiBrad has sage advice: Daphne is your best bet for laserdisc games. It can be a bit weird to begin with, but it behaves well once up and running. To use it from LaunchBox I needed a simple batch file, because the video files should be in separate folders, named the same as the romfile. (LB assumes our romfile with be the final parameter, and that it will be used only once.) Just make a text file, change the extension to .bat, and point LB at it instead. It takes the romfile parameter from LB, and gives it to daphne to help it find both the romfile and the framefile:

cmd /c daphne %1 vldp -fullscreen -homedir C:\roms\daphne -framefile C:\Roms\Daphne\video\%1\%1.txt -fastboot -x 1920 -y 1080

If using a gamepad notice dapinput.ini:

KEY_BUTTON1 = 32 306 1

The third number here is your joystick button number. 

There is also a Daphne autodownloader that I dare not link to - it works, just make sure to turn it off/delete it/rename it when you're done. It has a somewhat cavalier attitude towards using your bandwidth for 'the greater good'.

For Dragon's Lair 1 and 2 and Space Ace I recommend the Wii Dragon's Lair Trilogy. Easy to setup and looks and plays great.
