It's not quite as simple as just dropping in a new library, and away you go. The N64 had a vector coprocessor (the RSP) which handled the calculation side of both the graphics and audio stack. HLE-ing the N64 still required reverse-engineering the routines uploaded to the RSP.

Oh, they differed from player to player? That's interesting, I didn't know about that. (actually, didn't know whether there was a system menu at all...)
Yep, various CD-i players had different menus. They generally had a battery-backed real-time clock with some additional RAM kept alive by the battery, in order to store game saves on the player itself - you could typically manage saves, delete them, etc. from the player's menu.

They started out pretty boring - the cdimono1 driver in MAME is probably the most boring of the lot - while some of the later models have menus that scream with early 90's aesthetic, like Lisa Frank designing a trapper keeper after taking a hit of acid.

Very cool. Also yeah, it definitely seems like they were way ahead on the platform design to be flexible enough for this to even be possible.
