CDi is nothing more than OS-9/68000 made for use on CD/DVD players

The system already running on the CDi devices. On CD-i players with authoring/dev capabilities, more can be done with this operating system (2^nd link).

For general information, see the Game Console Revisions Overview.

There are eight versions of this console, arranged chronologically.

consumer-grade consoles only, no portables, no integrated TVs

DO NOT PURCHASE

The very first commercial CD-i released for the American market. The “910” designator is used in America only, as in other countries, it was released as the 205. The “most basic” model, and very poor in reliability.

LOWEST PRICE

This is apparently a “stripped down” version of the 220, lacking a “chique opening door” on the disc tray. May be the most common of all the CD-i variants worldwide.

See the 210, except include the “chique opening door”.

At this point in the CD-i’s life, Phillips were shifting gears to the home video games market. Thus, this is the version of the CD-i that has been catered for this purpose. May have lower memory capacity than other models? Sold in the USA as a Magnavox model.

A high end CD-i intended for preexisting hi-fi systems. Although it was marketed as lower cost, most all “high end” features are found in this one.

The 470, except the Digital Video feature is included by default. Furthermore, NVRAM is upgraded to 32KB.

RECOMMENDED OVERALL; BEST RELIABILITY

The last CD-i produced by Phillips, and feature-wise, it is also the best one. Digital Video is included by default, alongside an RS232 port and much more. If one is to get this miserable excuse of a console, this variant is likely the best for both reliability and features, as the older the CD-i, the poorer it’s mechanics get.

There are no revisions within any version.
