::An unofficial build of [[MESS]] from 2009 made by one of MAME's active developers, Haze. This build is named such that it only focuses on the CD-i. It uses a fixed game list. Some games have more issues than they have on the official MAME build.
;CD-i Emulator
:A closed-source payware emulator. The public beta releases unfortunately handle free trial timing in a way that makes them ''unusable'' (without a crackcracking, anyway) after a set calendar date. The dates; for the latest beta, 0.5.3 beta 6, has this will be at the end of 2023. The current betas do have proof-of-concept [[#Digital Video Cartridge|DVC emulation]] , although compatibility may still be an issue.<ref>http://www.cdiemu.org/site/relnotes.htm</ref>. Despite the long time between releases, this emulator is still in seemingly active development as of July 2021, with work being done on the next version (likely called 0.6) that reportedly supports most of the DVC games and also has several other improvements.<ref>https://cdii.blogspot.com/search/label/CD-i%20Emulator</ref><ref>https://www.theworldofcdi.com/cd-i-emulation/cd-i-emulator-053beta5-titles-compatibilities/</ref>.
;CeDImu
:A much newer independent project being actively developed by Stovent, largely based on a set of unofficial documentation by the creator of CD-i Emulator.<ref>https://github.com/cdifan/cdichips</ref>. As of July 2021, it's progressing quickly but still in pre-alpha, so don't expect it to boot any games just yet.
;CD-iCE
:One of the earliest CD-i emulators. It doesn't need a BIOS, but it was only developed to be able to play Rise of the Robots (no other game is supported).
