[ukvac] [tech] laser disc protocols
The chances of finding a working Pioneer 8210A laser player are like winning
the lottery.
LaserAce were going to do a Star Rider adapter, but it looks like that
project is in the bin now.
I would like to have a go at making my own converter, whether it be pc based
or dedicated hardware.
I am after detailed protocol information. The 8210A protocol info is on
Dragons Lair project, but what singals does Star Rider expect the player to
send back ?
I think when laserace had their star rider page up, they were talking about
an extra add on board for the laserace as star rider sent out parallel data
but expected serial return codes.
Anyone have any info?
How about just ripping the PIF board off the star rider set, the pif board
generates the LD codes, replace this with a new PIF board that sends out
commands for a different LD player
Any info would be great
