}}The '''Compact Disc Interactive''' ('''CD-i'''), is an interactive multimedia CD player and format developed and marketed released by [[wikipedia:Philips|Philips]] in on December 3, 1991/1992. 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 incomplete a driver for the CD-i but support but is much easier to controlincomplete, 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 it actually emulates better audio than Cdiemu in some casesLost Eden are unsupported<ref>https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/hash/cdi.xml</ref>. 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. Compared to CD-i Emulator 0.5.3 beta 4, MAME is easier to control and its audio emulation is better in some cases.

:An unofficial build of [[MESS]] from 2009 made by one of MAME's active developers, Haze. This build is a 'Tiny' MAME build containing the CDi code from MESS as named such that it is only focuses on 28th October 2009 using the CD-i. It uses a fixed gamelist like MAME. Works game list, but it works better than the last official MAME builds , especially with some games (for example like Zelda's Adventure)for example. On the other hand, some games have more issues than they have on the official MAME build.

:A payware emulator that hasn't received . 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 of the Gate Array MPEG Digital Video Cartridge (DVC) but compatibility may still be an update since 2006issue<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 next version, likely called 0. Its compatibility isn't very good and it only responds to mouse movements for control6, making that reportedly supports most of the DVC games unplayable unless you use an additional program called [and also has several other improvements<ref>https://wwwcdii.youtubeblogspot.com/watch?v=DFrar1gbrz4 Mah Boi]search/label/CD-i%20Emulator</ref><ref>https://www.

: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 />
