Philips CD-i games not launching

[azorean]

Hi

Can anyone help me out with Philips CD-i games. When I load any game it passes the initial blue screen but then just goes to the this title screen (see image below).

I am using RetroArch with the "same_cdi" core. I have my bios (cdimono1.zip) within RetroArch>System>same_cdi>bios. All my roms are in the correct CHD format as well. 

Anyone knows what am I missing here?

Does it run when you click on 

PLAY
CD-I

Hi @JoeViking245 Yes it does run if I click on Play. Is there a way to bypass this screen and launch the game automatically? Thanks!

Glad it works.  As far as 'cheating' and getting passed the initial screen and directly into the game, I don't believe there is a way.  But hey, this is what gives you that authentic feeling of when you played CD-i as a kid.
