It actually emulates and therefore behaves just like a real +laserdisc player \- you can pause, fast-forward, rewind, and all the rest. +.\" +.\" +.\" NOTES chapter +.SH NOTES +First of all, you need to go to your MAME ROMs folder and make a copy of +\fBcubeqst.zip\fP (the ROMs for Cube Quest). Rename it as \fBpr8210.zip\fP. +.P +Next, run ldplayer. +Note that the first path in the \fB\-rompath\fP option is the full path +to the \fBpr8210.zip\fP file and the second is the full path to the laserdisc +CHD file you wish to play. \fINote\fP the backslash and the semicolon +\- \fB\\;\fP \- between them. +.P +Once ldplayer is running, you can hit \fBTAB\fP like usual and check out +Inputs (this game) to see the controls. Space is the Play/Pause button, for +instance. Note that some laserdiscs (notably Cube Quest) have 30 seconds or +more of nothing at the start, so you either need to be patient or use +fast-forward to start seeing video. +.\" +.\" +.\" FILES chapter +.SH FILES +.TP +.B /etc/mame/ldplayer.ini +Main configuration file. |
