You're referring to the Dreamcast CDI (Compact Disc Interactive) collection!

When a collection is verified, it means:

A "verified" collection ensures that these compressed files boot correctly, maintain high audio/video quality, and won't damage your console's laser. Why Seek a Verified CDI Collection?

CDI games were a proprietary format developed by Sega, which combined the benefits of CD-ROM technology with the performance of cartridge-based games. This innovative approach allowed for larger, more complex games with rich multimedia content, including full-motion video (FMV), CD-quality audio, and interactive elements. The CDI format was used for a selection of Dreamcast titles, primarily in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
