Joe shows off his small arcade PCB collection in this episode. He compares sound at one point (about 5:12) between his board and MAME with MAME sounding inferior. I believe his is a 16B board and he compared it to the parent 16A set. I came by this conclusion by testing a few sets and noticing that 16B sounds more like his and uses an NEC chip instead of 16A's 8-bit R-2R DAC.
The games he shows are Shinobi, The Astyanax, Premier Soccer, Party Time: Gonta the Diver 2, Rastan, Gun Force 2, Metal Slug 5, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Choplifter, Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder, and X-Men vs Street Fighter

Someone should correct him in case he has not bothered to do another comparison. If anything, he should check to see if his particular Sega 16B game has already been preserved unless the pcb has already been hacked/modified so it can no longer 'self destruct'
