Yes, Laserdisc Support is Coming

Mame is going to (officially) have laserdisc support in the near future.  Look at what Aaron is proposing.  With that video format, a 30 minute laserdisc game is going to be 30gigs.  Sheesh!  Hard disk space is cheap, but this is huge.

But we have to remember Mame is an archival project, not an entertainment project (or they keep trying to tell us).  And if they include support for my favorite Laserdisc game (Cliffhanger), I’ll be happy.
