The CD-i console

The Compact Disc Interactive (CD-i), is an interactive multimedia CD player and format developed and marketed by Royal Philips Electronics, N.V. in 1991/1992. Notably, it featured IPs from Nintendo, such as Mario and Zelda, due to previously having tried to develop a CD add-on for the SNES. Their takes on Nintendo IP's were infamously terrible, so infamous that you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't think of them when you mention the console's name. However, there were a few cult classic games on the system.

Comparision

Cdiemu is payware, but it has the best compatibility.

MESS has support for cd-i but is incomplete sadly.
