I'm not so sure about Retroarch MAME but I am running CD-i directly through MAME using the following setup:

executable           D:\Platforms\Arcades\MAME\Emulators\MAME\MAME (latest)\mame.exe
args                 cdimono1 -skip_gameinfo -nowindow -cdrm "[romfilename]"
rompath              J:\Platforms\Consoles\Other\Philips CD-i\Roms\Non-Redump\
romext               .chd
system               Philips CD-i
exit_hotkey          Joy0 Zneg+Joy0 Button7
pause_hotkey          Joy0 Zneg+Joy0 Button6
artwork    flyer           D:\Platforms\Consoles\Other\Philips CD-i\Images\flyer
artwork    snap            D:\Platforms\Consoles\Other\Philips CD-i\Images\snap
artwork    title           D:\Platforms\Consoles\Other\Philips CD-i\Images\title
artwork    video           D:\Platforms\Consoles\Other\Philips CD-i\Images\video

Just a question.
When you emulate cdi with mame, do you put the bios in system/cdi and the roms without change?
Thx

BIOS (cdimono1) can be in any place, just make sure to add the path in mame.ini. MAME doesn't support DVC at the moment so very few titles actually work.

You can check if MAME part is working and BIOS is accessed by opening command prompt in MAME folder and using this command "mame cdimono1"
