It had a Philips SCC68070 CPU at 15.5 MHz with 1MB of RAM. Notably, it featured intellectual properties from Nintendo, such as Mario and Zelda, due to previously having tried to develop a CD add-on for the [[Super Nintendo emulators|SNES]]. Their takes on Nintendo intellectual property were so infamously terrible that you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't think of them when you mention the CD-i. However, there were a few cult classic games for the system.

:Has a driver for the CD-i but support is incomplete support but , as it still doesn't emulate the Digital Video Cartridge (DVC) as of March 2019.<ref>https://github.com/mamedev/mame/issues/1170</ref> That means games 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 it its audio emulation is actually emulates better audio than Cdiemu CD-i Emulator in some cases. It Starting the game from disc is recommended to start the emulation ; this can be done with the game already loaded, either with built-in frontend by picking the specific game picker or through a soft reset after mounting the diskdisc. It also has a [[libretro]] core, which makes it the easiest and the most stable method of emulating the CD-i currently.;TinyCDi: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, but it works better than the official MAME builds, especially with games like Zelda's Adventure for example. On the other hand, some games have more issues than they have on the official MAME build.;CD-i Emulator:A payware emulator. Was presumed inactive but got a new beta release in 2018, two 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 but it was only developed to be able to play Rise of the Robots (no other game is supported). ==References==<references />
