Ooooh, early beginnings of possible LaserActive emulation.
I've pushed my initial work on LaserActive support to the public BlastEm repo. Before anyone gets too excited, note that this initial work is just for the base LaserActive (i.e. no PACs installed) and not meaningfully functional (i.e. disc drive is not implemented). Still, it's progress!

The LaserActive is a fascinating bit of kit, a laserdisc playing multimedia console with modular expansion capabilities (PACS) for Mega Drive and PC Engine carts and CDs.

Until this week, it's been impossible to play the games of the 1993 Pioneer LaserActive without one of the vanishingly rare, disintegrating consoles.
Here's the story of the guy who's been trying to fix that for years -- and all the hardware and software he had to build to make it possible.

"This is the first:" The 16 year odyssey of "time, money, wrong turns and frustration" it took to finally emulate the Pioneer LaserActive
In April 2009, a Sega fan decided to look into emulating the Mega LD, a quirky and little-known hybrid of Genesis and LaserDisc. This week he finished the job.
