Summer brings memorable news for the emulator of emulators, that after the introduction of the and the preservation of experiences a “first time” long awaited by enthusiasts, priers and simple players interested of the matter: of the software adds the first lasergame (or laserdisc videogame) to the supported arcade titles, making real a work of years and putting an end to controversy and speculations that go along with the matter since. The maker of the exploit is once again, dean of mamedevs and current supervisor of the MAME project on the whole. Giles himself had announced,, that the endless debate on the lasergames addition to the emulator would had given way to facts and concrete coding work. A work that has evidently been long and toilsome, during which the coder and emu-maniac Giles has ran into the difficulty to adapt the analog nature of the games recorded on laserdiscs to the principle of “accuracy first of all” pushed by the emulator-Borg core team and by Giles himself. As in fact is well known to the enthusiasts, on what are optical supports to all intents and purposes (laserdiscs, precisely) the publishers have encoded, in the period of time between 1983 (release year for Don Bluth’s ) and the half of the Nineties, analog animations rather than digital ones, dooming the contents to a slow but steady reduction in quality with the time passing.
And just the implementation of proper lossless codecs was the first of many problems confronted (and evidently solved) by Giles, worried as usual about integrating the lasergames emulation with an adequate cleanness and structural consistency of the code, to let the archiving of the inner workings of the laserdisc-based arcades be as closer as possible to the original hardware., the emulator that since and first has reproposed the genre classics on PC, is satisfied by a hugely inferior level of fidelity being enough a simple audiovisual stream in MPEG-2 compressed format. According to the information published by Giles in the past months and years, the movies that act as a background to lasergames “semi-interactivity” (that are for the most cartoons to wind on by using the fire button or the joystick lever just at the right time) have been captured to the standard resolution of the DVD format with NTSC video (720×486), packed with an ad-hoc custom algorithm and lastly stored in enormous files in CHD format (Compressed Hunks of Data), already used for those arcades based on hard disks or optical disks like CD or the above said DVD. Different Heaven Far Away. Is the game chosen to be the bridgehead of the new “laser” era of MAME, opened by the just released.
