Damn, where was the conversation? I missed it? Don't tell me it was in chat/IRC because THAT'S NOT FAIR.

DAMN IT

Of course it was in the chat.

The interesting thing, is it means at least two people were willing to spend over $2600 for the game, and one person might have been willing to spend substantially more.   

At least it went to a good home.  I believe the person who got it is the guy behind the LaserActive Preservation Project, so it won't just be hoarded away somewhere.

QUESTION FOR EVERYONE: Are there any rips of the SOUNDTRACKS from the LD games? I would LOVE to make them available on my site...I asked SUPERDEADITE and he had some ideas (but hadn't tried stuff, also he didn't have all the hardware necessarily).

LaserActive PCE LD-ROM soundtracks go HERE!


BONUS: download the complete soundtrack for an irrelevant bonus.



HELP ME!

In trying to test the new MB Master CD, I pulled out the old Lasrer Active (with PCE PAC) to see if it would work.  It did not, all I got was LOAD ERROR.  So I tried another PCE LA disc, and another LOAD ERROR.  I hope my LA Is not dead.  =(

If you havent used it in a while, its worth opening it up and cleaning the lens and tilt sensor (black bubble near the lens)  For some reason those things like to accumulated dust inside.

Is is the LaserDisc part or the PAC part which isn't working?  Did you test with a laserdisc or regular audio CD as well?

Or for that matter a Sega PAC and a Sega CD/Mega CD or Mega LD

I tried with a PCE LD and a PCE CD.  I did not try to get the PCE PAC out and replace it with the Sega PAC (I do have some Sega LDs).

I got a few questions, for one is it possible to hook up a 32x to the sega pac? Does BlueBMW have any more Laseractives up for sale?

I don't believe so. The Laseractive uses composite out only, it doesn't have the multivideo out required to connect the 32X to the Genesis.

[SignOfZeta]

Blue and I were talking about this at the MGC. I think we came to the conclusion that if the 32X was in the cart slot that it would probably block the controller ports unless you stacked up some Game Genies and Xbands to get some clearance. Also, yeah, video problems.

No loss though. The 32X sucks pretty bad. If you really want to play one just keep your $20 Genesis around.

Not a Laseractive, but I thought that is was interesting.  I was at a thrift store today, and I saw a NEC LD-2000 laserdisk player.  I plugged it in, and it powered on fine, but since I know basically nothing about laserdisks and their players, I walked away from its $25 price tag.

Laserdisks are just cool retro tech.  Movies are cheap and its fun handling the large discs.

I'm still waiting to fire up our HLD-X0 and run some retro goodness!
