Adding info on DVC cartridges
===Comparisons===
;[[MAME]]
:Has incomplete support but is much easier to control, and it actually emulates better audio than CD-i Emulator in some cases. It is recommended to start the emulation with the game already loaded, either with the game picker or through a soft reset after mounting the disk.Does not emulate the Digital Video Cartridge (DVC) as of January 2019 [//github.com/mamedev/mame/issues/1170] therefore games which require it like 7th Guest, Atlantis - The Last Resort, Creature Shock, Dragon's Lair, Lost Eden, are unsupported [//github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/hash/cdi.xml]
;TinyCDi
:This is a 'Tiny' MAME build containing the CDi code from [[MESS]] as it is on 28th October 2009 using a fixed game list like MAME. Works better than the last official MAME builds with some games (for example Zelda's Adventure).
;CD-i Emulator
:A payware emulator. Was presumed inactive but got a new beta release in 2018, seven years after the last release. Used to only have mouse movements for control, now has preliminary keyboard support. However, the keyboard control isn't great in some games.The beta has proof-of-concept emulation of the Gate Array MPEG Digital Video Cartridge (DVC) but compatibility may still be an issue [//www.cdiemu.org/relnotes/] (deadlink as of February 2019)
;CD-iCE
:One of the first made CD-i emulators. It doesn't need a BIOS and can only play Rise of the Robots as that's what it was solely developed for.
