Dude... lol... really? OMG...you're incredibly helpful... duh!?...

Is there any good soul who can put together a bunch of links of working (suitable for testing) dumps for 2spicy, after burner and ghost squad? ...just for the sake of testing and reporting... so far I was able to run Hod4, OR2sp and VT3 (VT3 not full screen) with the dumps available but all the other titles don't even start... hard to help the devs this way...

What you see in the pictures is the real deal, if the KS campaign reaches the goal then it's gonna be produced in a factory with even better materials for the plastic components, that's why they're seeking for crowd funding, the prototype itself is already incredibly polished and solid, I was impressed when I tested it, the video in the Kickstarter website is self explanatory. If you can raise awareness around you about this project it will surely help!

Hi folks, I just had the chance to test out a true state of the art prototype of an arcade replica which has been officially launched few days ago on kickstarter, It’s legit as it comes (the team leader is a French fella btw), so far I think this is the most accurate and complete New Astro City 1:3 replica I’ve ever seen in the whole market, a must have in my humble opinion! The Kickstarter Campaign has also a commercial video displaying the unit, cool stuff... maybe some of you might be interested! ; ) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ac-r/arcade-replica-ac-r/description This team and the project itself deserve support! Here's some product info:

hard to say, it really depends on your taste, if you love laserdisc games , time gal, road blaster, triad stone are a no brainer, if you like old school detective stories both J.B Harold titles and Zapping Requested could suit your needs... Don Quixote tho it's also an interesting one... hope I gave you some ideas...

Woooooooo!!!

Ok, every single title works flawlessly! About J.B. Harold, I can confirm it has dual language, the game can boot in English or Japanese according to the bios selected ( for English just go to Settings / Boot Options / Region Preference / NTSC-U > NTSC-J > PAL, then quit Ares and reopen it, et voila' ), note, even if you select the Japanese bios, the option #2 on the title screen allows you to play with English text. Further considerations... the overall quality of these LD rips is very good, surely not clean 100% (lots of noise and some sporadic micro artifacts on the image due to disc rot), but considering how hard is to preserve a laserdisc in a perfect environment for 30 years avoiding the inevitable deterioration of the disc itself it's indeed a bless that someone was able to digitalize such rare archive and make it public! And last but not least, this is the official list for the Laseractive system: MEGA LD PACK • 3D Museum (1994) • 3D Virtual Australia (1995) • Back to the Edo (1994) • Bi Ryojon Collection: Minayo Watanabe (1994) • Bi Ryojon Collection Vol. 2: Yuko Sakaki (1995) • Don Quixote: A Dream in Seven Crystals (1994) • Dr. Paolo no Totteoki Video (1994) • Ghost Rush! (1994) • Goku (1995) • The Great Pyramid (1993) • Hi-Roller Battle (1993) • Hyperion (1994) • I Will: The Story of London (1993) • J.B. Harold Blue Chicago Blues (1994) • Melon Brains: Exploring The Mind Of The Dolphin (1994) • Pyramid Patrol (1993) • Road Blaster (1995) • Rocket Coaster (1993) • Space Berserker (1993) • Time Gal (1995) • Triad Stone (1994) • Virtual Cameraman (1993) • Virtual Cameraman 2 (1994) • Zapping "Satsui" (1994) • Bi Ryojon Collection Vol. 3 (unreleased) • Legacy (unreleased) • Myst (unreleased) • Steel Driver (unreleased) • UFO & ET (unreleased) LD-ROM² PACK • 3D Museum (1994) • Akuma no Shinpan: Konseiki Saigo no Shinri Game (1993) • Angel Mate (1993) • Bi Ryojon Collection: Minayo Watanabe (1994) • Bi Ryojon Collection Vol. 2: Yuko Sakaki (1995) • Dora Dora Paradise (1994) • Goku (1995) • J.B. Harold Blue Chicago Blues (1994) • Manhattan Requiem (1993) • Melon Brains: Exploring The Mind Of The Dolphin (1994) • Quiz Econosaurus (1993) • Vajra (1993) • Vajra Ni (1994) • Zapping "Satsui" (1994) • Bi Ryojon Collection Vol. 3 (unreleased) • NHK Conversational Chinese (unreleased) • I Will: The Story of London (unreleased) • UFO & ET (unreleased) It would be lovely to complete the collection with Road Blaster, Don Quixote, Back to the Edo and some other funny trashy titles like Virtual cameraman and Dr. Paolo... LOL... FIngers crossed!

Ghost Rush... (Button A enter / Button B go back) Enter your name / Meet the old shop's owner (Buy-Sell-Choose target-Rank-Exit) then exit, on the following screen's map press up to select the haunted mansion... that's it... not rocket science... enjoy!

Well, counting that the system itself is 32 years old it's a bit paradoxical the need of so much power to emulate it flawlessly, pretty sure that code wise the Ares team is doing miracles already, nevertheless we have to remember that after all this is emulation, props anyway to the aforementioned team, killer work! Gonna post some more considerations when I finish to test the whole available catalog... Like 3nigm4 has stated correctly, you need a beefy rack of ram, I tested it initially with a lesser powerful mac system (16Gb), the audio was beyond messy, video quite slow... it is what it is... if you know what I mean...

I was able to test half of the titles on a MacBook Pro M3 Max 128Gb ram, wow, I have to say the emulation is flawless, no audio/video glitches, literally nothing, just perfect, the VHS shader gives the perfect rendition on a flat screen, just, Wow... I'm impressed... waiting to finish the monster 134Gb single download for J.B. Harold and I will leave another feedback, We are missing ROAD BLASTER!!! then we are golden... PS. Titles tested: Ghost Rush! / Time Gal / Triad Stone / Pyramid Patrol / Hyperion / Goku

@S.G.D The above description made me giggle but hey, you really have a good heart, hope your actions are gonna inspire everyone around, happy new year and thanx!

Hi everyone, someone can please share a 720p patch for Overboost? this version (Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. 2 OverBoost (Rising Freedom / Hecate Update - 13/03/24)) Thank you so much in advance!!

it's like to put a fiat 500 engine inside a lamborghini... why? ...those games are meant to be played on a crt screen... in a real cabinet... i understand the evolution but at the same time i see things for what they are, these are vintage games, simple as that... no drama...

my whole point is very simple, unless you retrieve the original source on film (eg. for cobra command) there's no AI that can improve the details as you should clearly see from the resulting clips analyzed frame by frame... ps. i'm 37... i just have a long experience regarding video technology... but yeah, if you're fine with an average result we're all golden... peace! ps. if you try to convert a digital source from 1080p to 4k then it's another story...
