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 October 2020.<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>. 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. It also has a [[libretro]] core, which makes it the easiest and the most stable method of emulating the CD-i currently. Compared to CD-i Emulator 0.5.3 beta 4, MAME is much easier to control, and it actually emulates its audio emulation is better audio than Cdiemu in some cases.;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 is recommended to start 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. The latest public release, 0.5.3 beta 4, was released in 2018, two years after the last release. The beta has proof-of-concept emulation with of the Gate Array MPEG Digital Video Cartridge (DVC) but 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 active as of October 2020. Work is currently being done on the game already loadednext version, likely called 0.6, either with 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>.;CD-iCE:One of the game picker or through first made CD-i emulators. It doesn't need a soft reset after mounting BIOS but it was only developed to be able to play Rise of the diskRobots (no other game is supported). ==References==<references />
