A No-disc crack, No-CD crack or No-DVD crack is an executable file or a special 'byte patcher'. This image can then be mounted with a disk image emulator such as Daemon Tools to 'trick' the user's computer's Operating System (OS) into.
I’ve been playing with exactly the same thing for a few days now but finally cracked it. I have CDi games playing in retroarch (on Windows at least I’ve yet to try on linux but that will be my next port of call).Here is the command line I use:-Path to Retroarch Folderretroarch.exe “cdimono1 -rompath “path to retroarch foldersystemmess” -cdrm “Hotel Mario.chd”” -L path to retroarch foldercoresmesslibretro.dllcdimono1 bios must be in your systemmess folder and zipped, hash/xml files must be in systemmesshash. CD isos must be in chd format use chdman.exe to convert cue to chd.Any further help needed please message me.Enjoy!! QUOTE=kasperkaal;34114I’m having problems too.I’m using a Shield Android TV and so far I have had succes using the MAME core to emulate Atari 5200, Intellivision and Amstrad GX4000 systems, but I can’t get the CD-i to work.I have tried a number of different bios-files in a number of different folders, but RetroAarch crashes every time.What’s the correct folder structure for the chd-files?PS. (Can’t get BBC micro or Amstrad CPC to work either by the way, so if anyone knows how to sort that out, please tell):)/QUOTEAFAIK the version of MAME included with RA for Android doesn’t support cd-iIs there any other way to play cd-i games on Android? I got it working in Linux. It is not pretty, but it is working through the normal RetroArch GUI.First of all, I installed retroarch and placed the “hash” Folder from MAME in the system/mame Folder.
I also have the “cdi200.rom cdi220b.rom cdimono1.zip” files there but I do not know if they are used.In my ROMs Folder I have a folder named “cdimono1”. In that folder I have the cdimono1.zip (BIOS files). Also in this folder are the games. For example Hotel Mario:hotel mario (1994)(philips)(eu)!.chdKnow I created a symbolic link to that file named “hotmario.chd”. I did not test it with an empty file but should work too. Again:ROMs/cdimono1/cdimono1.zipROMs/cdimono1/hotel mario (1994)(philips)(eu)!.chdROMs/cdimono1/hotmario.chdNames are very important here.
The filenames are from the XML files inside the mame/hash folder.Now I start RetroArch and enable the MAME Core. As for the content I choose the “hotmario.chd” file. Now the MAME cdi system starts and I can start the game.
The CD-i consoleThe Compact Disc Interactive (CD-i), is an interactive multimedia CD player and format developed and marketed. In 1991/1992. Notably, it featured intellectual properties from Nintendo, such as Mario and Zelda, due to previously having tried to develop a CD add-on for the. Their takes on Nintendo intellectual property were so infamously terrible that you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't think of them when you mention the CD-i. However, there were a few cult classic games on the system.

Its compatibility isn't very good and it only responds to mouse movements for control, making most games unplayable unless you use an additional program called. has support for CD-i, which is also incomplete, but much easier to control, and it actually emulates better audio than Cdiemu in some cases. It is recommended to start the emulation with the game already loaded, either with the game picker or through a soft reset after mounting the disk.
