Meanwhile, focus has shifted towards improving the output of ld-decode, which generates an uncompressed video output from a capture file produced by the Domesday Duplicator hardware. This is the primary reason why there hasn't been much if any movement on the MAME front towards adding LD games quite yet: We'd like the output of ld-decode to be largely stable before starting to add a lot of LD captures. People already get cranky when they have to re-download ROM sets that are a few kilobytes to a few megabytes in size - the amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth would be astronomical if we forced people to redownload upwards of 100 CHDs the size of Cube Quest each time there's a major improvement in the output quality of ld-decode.
