Foone: Not sure how I didn't know this, but TIL Video CD is one of the rainbow books

<Foone>
the real surprising one is the green book: it's the CD-i
<cr1901_modern>
That one I did know about already
<cr1901_modern>
CD-i's notoriously difficult to emulate, so it's unlikely it'll be preserved well :/
<cr1901_modern>
If the room wants to make jokes about the CD-i's wonderful collection of games, now is a good time

wait the CDi *is* a standard?
<andlabs>
I wonder how much of that standard is still technically available as new components
<andlabs>
oh man it's double obsolete
<andlabs>
a 68000 CPU and the OS-9 operating system

(aka that thing that people run on their Tandy Color Computers)

woah
<andlabs>
their website is currently super broken but they did port clang to it so modern software can exist now
<andlabs>
also "Sony who released professional CD-i players under the "Intelligent Discman" brand"
<fseidel>
huh, looks like the video hardware lacks both hardware scrolling and sprites, what a winner!
<fseidel>
I guess you can do scrolling with the "reload VSR" command? I don't care enough about the machine to look into this more deeply

clang doesn't have 68k support upstream
<racoon>
gcc does, for varying definitions of support
<sorear>
did anyone ever make a reverse dragonegg for this situation
