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.
