Well, CD-i is Phillips CD Interactive and .cdi is the format for those types. I don't run any Dreamcast emulators but what you are saying doesn't sound right to me.

Sega Dreamcast .CDI files are ripped from .GDI files (The original Sega Dreamcast format).

CDI files are smaller and downsampled in audio and video quality whilst the actual game remains the same.

Also .CDI files are used rather than .GDI so they can fit on a 700mb CDR.

If you can upload your GameEx Log and Ini file's and also your emulator config, I should be able to get this sorted for you.

I spent numerous years within the Sega Dreamcast community and it's one of the system's I am extremely familiar with.
