In addition to being into playing PC games, I am also into classic laserdisc arcade games (such as Dragon's Lair). See my web site at [ Ссылка ]
Laserdiscs and laserdisc players are becoming more obsolete every day and for a while I have felt that with enough work and research, one could replace a laserdisc player with a PC using the PC's parallel port. This video represents my first step at making this happen.
Details:
Laserdisc player being spoofed: Pioneer LD-V1000
Interface: PC parallel port connected via cable to dragon's lair motherboard
PC specs: AMD Athlon 800 (yes, it's old. I tried an AMD64 2800+ and it failed)
OS: Ubuntu Linux v9.04 (Jaunty) running in console mode
Cable: custom cable soldered by my wife and I
Arcade hardware: original Dragon's Lair machine from 1983
