Hey Everyone !! lOL Just Recently Scored On This Giant POS !!!

[Nec.Game.head]

Pretty happy as I just this past weekend finally locked down getting a US Pioneer LaserActive, it's fully restored, new band alignment and most importantly both PCE and Genesis PAC's are fully re capped. She's running great and I'm totally enjoying my LaserActive PCE experience !! Lol now what ?? The damn thing as most of you already know only displays in Composite video !! I play it on my Sony PVM 2950Q so it looks decent enough but unfortunately I have far evolved into a total image quality snob !! Maybe I should just toss this old fat bulky girl off of my balcony to her death and just call it a rap for now !! loL hahaha !! f*ck it i guess I'll just keep her on the sidelines like a fat chick that gives the best BJ's but you'll be damned if you ever let your close friends see you enjoying some quality time with her !!

Laseractive serves up great action.

There is a long Laseractive discussion thread on this site, quite a few of us like the system and I'd hardly call it a POS.  Between being able to conveniently play all Genesis, MD, PC-E, and TG16 games (with the right hardware), the interesting LA software, and the ability to play LD movies / karaoke; the system is pretty f*cking rad.

Play around with it some more, pick up Dr. Paolo and play with yourself some more, then come back and give an updated impression.

I hear the electrolytic acid that leaks on the caps from these things makes for a potent aphrodisiac. Can you try to verify that? Lol!

Lol Very nice fellas !! After a bit more game play on it and some special alone time with it also I've have decided that I do in fact like the LaserActive. It's definitely a rad unique system to own. Lol My favorite part about it is the leaky electrolytic fluid from the PAC's, it rubs on really well and tickles the pickle like no other cap fluid I have ever tried before !! Oh and the PCE Engine PAC is also pretty kick ass !!

That's actually very true.

For a serious answer, most of us here have already RGB modded our LA units.  It's really quite easy, and works for all games except the actual LD games.  Once you do this, the LA is actually a very capable jack-of-all-trades.  Being a front-loader, you can stack stuff on it and it plays a tremendous amount of games with just one single power cable.  The LD games are just icing on the cake really.

Now this is some very great news to find waiting on me this morning !! This mod would be absolutely ideal for me. Any write ups or links to any how to to's on this RGB mod ?? Thanks brother for sharing this info !!

Can't find a good pic right now, but it's rather easy.  The RGB board in the machine is clearly labeled, just flip it over and solder to the ribbon cable pins.  For sync I just use the extra composite jack.  5v is all over the place.

Oh wow that sounds soo freaking straight forward !! Looking forward to giving it a go later on this evening !! Thank you soo much for clarifying that for me !! Super useful info !!

Congrats on the score.  I'm jelly of your Turbob LA pad.

Found some good pics.  I did mine the same, except I found tapping SYNC here weakened the signal too much and it gave me issues when playing my LD games.  So instead I just plug my sync line directly into the composite RCA jack.  I did mine the lazy way, I just fed the wires out the back through one of the holes the RGB board clips on to, and my amp is external.

Yeah, I'm in the process of doing the RGB mod to my LaserActive in the near future.  Thanks to some feedback from SuperDeadite and a couple others I think I've got the method nailed down.  Will probably take pictures as I go along to make an overall guide. 

Also not sure why this needs its own thread.  Maybe makes more sense in the LA or the haul thread.

Am I the only one that has dreams about finding one of these at a goodwill?

I have had this dream multiple times lol...
