Episode Notes:
1. Real hardware was used all around.
2. Music playing during each segment was added for entertainment purposes. There is no music during the actual loading.
3. The Neo Geo CDZ tends to be more expensive than the other models, particularly complete in box.
4. The CDZ uses a different power brick than the top loader.
5. By default, I also found the image quality of the CDZ to have a default higher contrast than the top loader, at least on my units.
6. The CDZ does have a CD player dashboard if you put in a music CD. It just skips it now with a game.
7. Believe me when I say that the point wasn't lost on me that this is 17 minutes of load times. While I genuinely wanted to make the episode to demonstrate the CDZ, I was also curious if anyone would actually watch it.
