===Comparisons===
;[[MAME]]
:Has a driver for the CD-i but support is incomplete, as it still doesn't emulate the Digital Video Cartridge (DVC) as of October 2020July 2021.<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 Lost Eden are unsupported<ref>https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/hash/cdi.xml</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. It 's also has the only CD-i emulator available as a [[libretro]] core, which makes means that (for now) it 's 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.
;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, was released in dates all the way back from 2018and is unfortunately now ''unplayable'' without a crack, two years after due to the last releaseway that licenses are handled (or not) in the 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</ref>. Despite the long time between releases this emulator is still in seemingly active development as of October 2020. Work is currently , 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>.
;CD-iCE
:One of the first made 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).
