MPEG card support: Can we do a crowdfund or could the museum help

[vonguard]

So the MPEG decoder hardware in the CD-I is not supported by this emulator, and very understandably so. I would like to offer the resources of the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment to help make this a roadmap item for Same-CDI somehow. This could take the form of a hack-athon, or dedicated development volunteers giving some time to the project. Or maybe a crowd fund to pay for the work. The CD-I has a lot of games that cannot be loaded due to this limitation, and the Museum is increasingly worried that this work might never happen, and these games would be lost to technical debt.

alex@themade.org is where you can contact me. I'd love to setup a meeting to discuss the state of this support, find out the requirements for the work, and see what resources the Museum can bring to bear on the project, if appropriate.

Thanks for keeping the project going, and I hope we can find a way to work together on this.

You'll have better luck with the maintainer of the forked emulator. https://github.com/zach-morris/same_cdi

@vonguard head over https://github.com/mamedev/mame as this core is basically a stripped-down MAME build limited to CD-i emulation
