laserdisc control floppies

[Wepl]

I have got the Laserdiscs "Dragon's Lair" and "Thayer's Quest" in PAL.
I also have the interface cable and some LD players.
But I miss the floppy disks which contain the control software from the company Software Corner.
Has somebody these can email me images from it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated ;)

PS: are there any other LDG which have worked via the Amiga?

have you taken a look here http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/tech/pages/tq.asp :)

[Wepl]

but I don't see the disk images there, where are they?

[Dizzy]

well dont know :D
They got some rom image, they should be the game control, but dont know much about it, just that this is the most informative page about laserdisc games ;)

try the http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/community/

I think he wants to hook up the LD player to his Amiga.

Sounds interesting.

I know there were some arcade games that ran off of an Amiga 500-based laserdisc system. IIRC one of the games was a western-themed shooter called Mad Dog McCree?

Hmm, yes: http://www.mameworld.net/maws/driverinfo/alg.c

Here is a page about the same system at the Dragons Lair project page: http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/tech/pages/alg.asp

wepl - this guy has the software you're looking for (scroll to the bottom of the page) try to contact him:

Possibly all games done by "American Laser Games"

Thanks for links and info, but my hope was to find somebody who has the floppy disks. Is there nobody?

@Wepl: Congratulations. So you have received the hardware and laserdisks at the end. Can't wait to see it in action. ;O)

It looks like both you and alexh missed my post.

alexh posted the same info that I did, and you didn't notice the link to the guys website who actually has the disks you're looking for.

Did you ever get this working? And what type of connection is betweent the LD and Amiga?

[davideo]

AmigaVision can be used to control LDs with the right lead connected between the Amiga and LD player. I believe its by serial control.

Ok Cool thanks for the links so basicly it just tells the LD what video tracks to play - hypothetically a device controling a DVD Remote - pointed at the DVD could do the same but games like Dragon's Lair and Mad Dog do these use a Genlock?

[davideo]

There was (a long time ago) a video editing program (sorry can't remember the name even though I used it) that could also control VCRs by means of either a control lead hard wired into the VCR from the Amiga or could have a magic wand on the end of a lead and control the VCR by remote signals :agree
