Hey, everybody. Hi, welcome to the Jeff Gersman Show. It's me.

0:38.0

Jeff Gersman, here with you for June 28th. It is MAME week around these parts.

0:48.0

I don't know. MAME, the long-running arcade emulator, tends to release the final Wednesday of every month.

0:59.0

I have no idea what's in this week. I don't know what's in MAME this month. I haven't been keeping track.

1:04.0

But I guess Marvel Madness 2 will probably be in there, because it was not in the last release.

1:10.0

If you want to play Marble Madness 2, the unreleased follow-up to Marble Madness, it should be playable in MAME this week, tomorrow.

1:24.0

I did not intend to start the show talking about MAME week, but here we are as a long-time MAME fan.

1:34.0

There is a part of me that when we get to the last week of every month, I'm like, oh yeah, time to update them software lists.

1:42.0

Time to get this hopefully one day. They will emulate the digital video cartridge on the CDIs that we can play, Thunder and Paradise.

1:52.0

Actually, what I should do. Welcome to CDI talk. I'm your host, Jeff Gersman.

2:10.0

Then burn discs and play them on the CDI. That's probably what I should be doing instead of the emulation of the CDI.

2:23.0

Has gotten a lot better lately if we want to be real about it, if we want to talk about the CDI emulation in MAME.

2:31.0

Everyone, thank you for joining us. We're here talking about the CDI emulation in MAME. It's gotten a lot better very recently and that's been awesome.

2:41.0

It's been great to see it. These are the platforms that need to be preserved as maybe not the word. These are the platforms that people need to see.

2:52.0

These are the platforms that people need to get more of a look at.

2:55.0

I was looking through the redump list of accurate dumps of CDI discs a couple of nights ago, as I do.

3:04.0

There was something in there that was just called BF Good Rich, the power of the BF Good Rich brand.

3:12.0

The CDI existed in this enterprise retail sort of way where there's a bunch of digital catalogs for products.

3:19.0

I really want to see these fucking tires.

3:22.0

I don't know. That's me. That's how I spend my nights. I don't know what you're up to out there.
