}}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.

: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. On the other hand, some games have more issues than they have on the official MAME build.

:A payware emulator. Was presumed inactive but got a new The latest public release, 0.5.3 beta release 4, was released in 2018, seven two years after the last release. Used to only have mouse movements for controlThe beta has proof-of-concept emulation 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 next version, now has preliminary keyboard supportlikely called 0. However6, that reportedly supports most of the keyboard control isn't great in some DVC gamesand 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>.

: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 />
