|predecessor = [[Strange and Forgotten Console Magnavox Odyssey² emulators|Philips Videopac + G7400]]|emulated = {{~✓}}}} The '''Compact Disc Interactive''' ('''CD-i'''), is an interactive multimedia CD player and format developed and released by [[wikipedia:Philips|Philips]] on December 3, 1991. 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 support but is much easier to control, and it actually emulates better audio than This [[multi-system emulators|multi-system emulator]] includes a driver for the CD-i Emulator in some cases. It , although support is recommended to start the incomplete as it still has no emulation with the game already loaded, either with the game picker or through a soft reset after mounting the disk. Does not emulate for the Digital Video Cartridge (DVC) as of January 2019 [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]] therefore games core, which require makes it like 7th Guest, Atlantis the easiest and the most stable method of emulating the CD-i for now. Compared to CD- The Last Resorti Emulator 0.5.3 beta 4, Creature Shock, Dragon's Lair, Lost Eden, are unsupported [//github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/hash/cdiMAME is generally easier to control and can better emulate the audio for some games.xml]

: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 closed-source payware emulator. Was presumed inactive but got a new beta The latest public release in 2018, seven years after the last release0.5. Used to only have mouse movements for control3 beta 4, dates all the way back from 2018 and is unfortunately now has preliminary keyboard support. However''unplayable'' (without a crack, anyway) due to the keyboard control isn't great way that free trial timing is handled in some gamesthe beta releases. The beta has does have 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</] (deadlink ref>. Despite the long time between releases, this emulator is still in seemingly active development as of February 2019July 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.

:One of the first made earliest 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 />
