Re: The current status of Laserdisc games in MAME

1 coin for a credit is only the Enhanced 2.1 ROM, which is a pretty clear cut 'homebrew' version, so it's HBMAME fodder rather than mainline.
A disc status page is a good idea, but I think a lot of the main collectors are in contact with one another, so it would just be trying to identify the rarities that may not necessarily be in their hands*. Otherwise, it's probably more in control than it looks from outside.
*I'm thinking of the prototypes like Platoon from Nova Productions, the QuarterHorse games and the myriad 'adult' Casino Strip games that Status put out. In fact, there's one game I've been looking at which was a laserdisc quiz game, known as either Revelations or Vision Quest depending on the precise market. It was, to all intents and purposes, your standard pub quiz machine liek so many I've looked at on and off for years, except every question was read off an NTSC laser disc. I believe we have one good capture of the Vision Quest version, and one not so good of the Revelations version, but in theory the Revelations disc can be used in both. Dragon's Lair Project holds a lot of information, but even that isn't comprehensive.
