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 This [[multi-system emulators|multi-system emulator]] includes a driver for the CD-i, although support is incomplete support but as it still has no emulation for the Digital Video Cartridge as of July 2021.<ref>https://github.com/mamedev/mame/issues/1170</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. MAME is also currently the only program to provide CD-i emulation through a [[libretro]] core, which makes it the easiest and the most stable method of emulating the CD-i for now. Compared to CD-i Emulator 0.5.3 beta 4, MAME is much generally easier to controland can better emulate the audio for some games.;TinyCDi:An unofficial build of [[MESS]] from 2009 made by one of MAME's active developers, and Haze. This build is named such that it only focuses on the CD-i. It uses a fixed game list, but it actually emulates works better audio than Cdiemu in the official MAME builds, especially with games like Zelda's Adventure for example. On the other hand, some casesgames have more issues than they have on the official MAME build. It ;CD-i Emulator:A closed-source payware emulator. The latest public release, 0.5.3 beta 4, dates all the way back from 2018 and is recommended unfortunately now ''unplayable'' (without a crack, anyway) due to start the way that free trial timing is handled in the beta releases. The beta does have proof-of-concept emulation of the Digital Video Cartridge 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 in seemingly active development as of July 2021, with work being done on the next version (likely called 0.6) 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>.;CeDImu:A much newer independent project being actively developed by Stovent, largely based on a set of unofficial documentation by the game already loadedcreator of CD-i Emulator<ref>https://github.com/cdifan/cdichips</ref>. As of July 2021, it's progressing quickly but still in pre-alpha, either with so don't expect it to boot any games just yet.;CD-iCE:One of the game picker or through earliest 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 />
