;[[MAME]]
:Has incomplete support but is much easier to control, and To say it actually emulates better audio than 's a multi-system emulator would be an understatement. A driver exists for the CD-i Emulator in some cases. It but support is recommended to start the emulation with the game already loadedincomplete, either with the game picker or through a soft reset after mounting the disk. Does not as it still doesn't emulate the Digital Video Cartridge (DVC) as of January March 2019 [.<ref>https://github.com/mamedev/mame/issues/1170] therefore </ref> That means games which that require it like 7th Guest, Atlantis - The Last Resort, Creature Shock, Dragon's Lair, and Lost Eden, are unsupported [.<ref>https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/hash/cdi.xml]</ref> However, MAME is much easier to control, and its audio emulation is actually better than CD-i Emulator in some cases. Starting the game from disc is recommended; this can be done with the built-in frontend by picking the specific game or through a soft reset after mounting the disc.Has It also has a Libretro [[libretro]] core, which makes MAME it the easiest (but not still by no means the best !) method of emulating the CD-I emulating method by far (for now)i currently.:;TinyCDi:This is a 'Tiny' MAME :An unofficial build containing the CDi code from of [[MESS]] as from 2009 made by one of MAME's active developers, Haze. This build is named such that it is only focuses on 28th October 2009 using the CD-i. It uses a fixed game list like MAME. Works , but it works better than the last official MAME builds , especially with some games (for example like Zelda's Adventure)for example. This is currently the best option for CD-I i emulation for now.
;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). Not recommended (obsolete).
;CD-iCE
:One of the first made CD-i emulators. It doesn't need a BIOS and can but it was only developed to be able to play Rise of the Robots as that's what it was solely developed for(no other game is supported)==References==<references />
