I propose to change the last word for the platform name 'Philips CDi' to the official 'CD-i'.

The game covers always say 'CD-i', never 'CDi' . You will come across 'Compact Disc Interactive', but that makes sense since 'Compact Disc-Interactive' would be a strange combination of English and Dutch spelling.

And what is Dutch about a Compact Disc Interactive, except that we also used the word in Dutch when it was still available.

And if you start thinking logically, it would so you think it should be CDI, because it is a Compact Disc Interactive without dashes and spaces. CDi would become CompactDiscinteractive or CD-i CompactDisc-interactive if you took it all the way through.

However, what was the usual writing name for a Compact Disc Interactive was a CD-i. That is also on the covers. But I don't know if it is that easy to change for the programmers. In any case, an alias is in order.

The Dutch on the fictional 'Compact Disc-Interactive' is the hyphen. The English spelling is without a hyphen.

No, it doesn't make sense to call it C DI according to my reasoning, because it never says that on the packaging. The way in which Philips writes it itself is leading for me.

The name written in full was also used, but not nearly as often as the short name CD-i.

I can do not imagine that this is not easy to adjust in the system.

Super simple, only find an administrator who can access it (Arco ;-)).

Didn't see a problem in changing it.

Was probably done then because CW handled special characters badly, so it became untraceable.
