dir -e command at the shell. Every module that has the latest attribute set to x (execute) can
be run. Make sure to change the active program directory to the appropriate directory on the CD
using chx /cd/xxx , where xxx is the name of the directory. Remeber that OS-9 makes a
difference between upper and lower case letters.
For example using the game Escape from Cybercity, there is a version on the disc that allows for
unlimited lifes.
8.1.4 Can I transfer data from the CD-i to my PC?
Yes. You can use the CD-i application CD-i'nterlink (which is available for free download as a CDi Disc Image at the CD-i Disc Images section at www.icdia.org) to transfer files that are stored
in the player's NV-RAM to a PC. Make sure that your terminal emulator can receive files using the
X-Modem or Z-Modem protocol. Just load the CD-i'nterlink disc in the CD-i player and follow the
instructions on screen.
The CD-i'nterlink application can even display a shell prompt on the terminal display, but this is
not the standard OS-9 command prompt shell. Only a very limited set of instructions is provided
(use the command cmds to get an overview of available commands).
8.2 How can I enable/disable the open/close function of the drawer?
Some CD-i players equiped with the first generation player shell (refer to the CD-i Players
comparison overview at www.icdia.org for more information) can disable the open/close
function of the drawer. When this function is active, the open/close button at the front of the
player will not work, and the Open function is not displayed on the player shell's screen. But
beware: the open/close function is still working in the player shell when you point the cursor at the
usual location of the hotspot! Besides this, the lock mode is not very suitable in critical situations,
because the drawer can still be "pulled" out of the player. To set or disable the lock function, turn
the player on while holding the Stop-button at the front.
On the CDI 660 and CDI 670, a lock mode is available when you hold the Play and Open buttons
while turning the player on. The same conditions apply with respect to the functionality of the
open/close hotspot as described above.
8.3 How can I enter the features of the CDI 660/670 key-disc?
The CDI 660 and 670 can be customized in several ways using a dedicated 'Key Disc' that was
developed for these players. When you have this Key Disc (which is available for free download
as a CD-i Disc Image at the CD-i Disc Images section at www.icdia.org), use the following
PIN-codes to access the player's special features (the codes apply to version 1.3 of the Key
Disc):
• 2410
Delay the start up time of the player, so that pointing devices that require a longer initialization
time (such as touch screens) work correctly.
• 8252
Set the player to lock out the playback of CD-Audio discs or just allow for the playback of certain
CD-i titles that are mastered in a special way. Refer to the Technical Manual for more information
about this feature.
• 3094
Disable or enable the start up animation of the player shell, set it to neutral (remove the 'Philips'
logo) or enter a customized message that should appear each time the player is turned on.
