The Official Pioneer LaserActive Player thread-

[BigusSchmuck]

So I came across something a little concerning when I removed my sega pac tonight after doing some light gaming, there was a strange smell coming from the actual connectors to the pac. I'm wondering if thats a tall tale sign that the caps are going bad and if its time to replace them? I was going to do it eventually, but I haven't really played much of my Laseractive as of late and been mostly using it as a Laserdisc player...

At this point in time, all PACs are due for a recap.  Just do it regardless of condition, the earlier you do it, the easier it is.  Once the flood gates open, you're gonna need pro-level skills.

Yep, pioneer offered a nice little "sniff hold" on the back.  If you smell ze fosh, change ze caps asap.  Contact thesteve, he can do em good.

Trying to get a hold of Chop as he sounds like the man to do the job. I thought about even offering a trade to one of these guys to see if someone would rather do that... It kind of sucks because I really wanted to play some more Triad Stone too!

Chop mentioned he was taking a break on repairs, but he was working with steve on fixing up the pacs . . . of course you'll need to talk to him on all of that though. 

Steve is def. the guy to go to though if you nave no luck with choppers.

Yeah I contacted thesteve too. I'll wait eagerly for either his or Chop's response. In the meantime, I got plenty of Sega Master System loving to do.

Ah. well hopefully you have a re-caped pack soon, I have a MD and now a sega pac to have done.   looking forward to gaming on it.  watching my first LD is proving to be fun as well.

Would anybody be willing to trade some of their LA games (1 or 2) for Myst 110?  Get ahold of me at LaserActiveGuy channel on youtube if interested...   (Season 2 of LaserActiveGuy coming soon...)

Did you ever get that repro cover printed out?

[laseractiveguy]

 You want me to honestly tell the truth?  I have yet to see the artwork.  I dont even know who did it.... We only had one submission... so unless its total crap  (which I doubt), I have a copy of Zoom 5 ready to be shipped out.... someones gotta pull his finger out of his butt...  For some reason its being held from me...and I'm not sure why.   If that person would like to resubmit it to me personaly... instead of the site, please do... I want to keep my promises.

There is an auction for 2 japanese Time Gals... sealed no-less.... anybody want to go half/half on them?

Good luck, I've never seen a sealed sample disc though, seems kind of odd.  I can't tell from the pictures if the bag is original though, the brand new games have a particular feel and look to them that's hard to duplicate.  They both look like they're in really nice shape though. 

It's also odd though that they seller didn't put the text "Mega LD" of any type in the listing though, seems like you'd really decrease your buyer pool by doing that.

BUMP! 

I recently received some PAL Laserdiscs for free with another purchase.  I've no clue what to do with them, but from what I've read they probably will not work in a LaserActive because it's NTSC based right?

Want to know something weird? I had a sealed sample of rocket coaster I just sold not to long ago.... I probable should have kept it.

I am also actively doing recaps of these pacs if anyone else ever needs it done.
