From my understanding of CD-I it is similar CD-V(compact disk with video),
but shows one fairly low resolution every 2 or three seconds along with music.
If this is correct then a special decoder and video modulator is needed for
CD-I and a software emmulator just wouldn't cut it.

(CD-V btw is a 5" music CD with 1 music video and 7 or so no video songs.)
