===Comparisons===
;[[MAME]]
:Has This [[multi-system emulators|multi-system emulator]] includes a driver for the CD-i but , although support is incomplete, as it still doesn't emulate 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. This MAME is also currently the only program to provide CD-i emulation currently available in through a [[libretro]] (using the MAME cores)core, which means that (for now) makes it's the easiest and the most stable method of emulating the CD-ifor now. Compared to CD-i Emulator 0.5.3 beta 4, MAME is generally easier to control and its can better emulate the audio emulation is better in for some casesgames.
;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 closed-source payware emulator. The latest public release, 0.5.3 beta 4, dates all the way back from 2018 and is unfortunately now ''unplayable'' (without a crack, anyway) due to the way that licenses are free trial timing is handled (or not) 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 creator of CD-i Emulator<ref>https://github.com/cdifan/cdichips</ref>. As of July 2021, it's progressing quickly but still in pre-alpha, so don't expect it to boot any games just yet.
;CD-iCE
:One of the earliest 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).
