  • 1 Laseractive from a PAL Perspective • Why Am I Writing This? to Be Fair
    LaserActive from a PAL perspective Why am I writing this? To be fair, there are a number of excellent sites and videos on this remarkable device. The following just a few: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laseractive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqNtpC1VeH8 I believe Fakk28 has changed to thenewfakk28 so you will need to do a youtube search for his impressive video. http://www.youtube.com/user/superdeadite#p/search/3/-zZoyrL2FwA http://www.cyberroach.com/new_laseractive_pics/default.htm http://www.videogameconsolelibrary.com/pg90-pioneer.htm The N10 and S10 manuals are now available So the real reason of writing this is in the hope that other Aussie’s take up the gauntlet and get on board this miraculous mother! 1 How did I get on board myself? Well I actually only started collecting for this device earlier this year (2011) after seeing it mentioned on the pcenginefx.com forums (which unfortunately as I write this article are down for the foreseeable future). Addendum: Back-up and running. I scoured the web and found the above sites plus many more. After reading as much as I could, I decided to take the plunge and find one to buy. This is where it became very interesting. Where did I buy one? There weren’t too many places other than eBay where I could find one to buy and even there, they were damn expensive. Although the actual Laserdisc player (CLD- A100) was around US$300-$400 (mid 2011) which is not too bad for something obscure and becoming rare, it was the postage getting it here that always seemed to kill the deal.

  • Sega-CD Technical Bulletins.Pdf
    • SEGA-CD TECH BULLETIN To: Sega-CD Developers Date: 6/16/92 From: S. Bayless CC: J. Huether T. Reuterdahl Subject: The U.S. BIOS Although you haven't seen it yet, SOJ is currently revising the BIOS for the U.S. market. While most of the changes are cosmetic, there are a couple that aren't. Security Code The block of code that puts up the Sega logo, prints a copyright message and plays the little "Segaaa" sound bite has been changed significantly. This has two effects. First, you'll be getting an assembly language file with a bunch of DC.B's in it which you'll need to put at the beginning of your IP before the new ROM will accept it. Second, you'll need to change the values stored in the ID Block of your boot sector. Boot Sector Because the security code has gotten quite a bit bigger, you'll almost certainly have to change your System ID to handle an IP larger than $600 bytes. The "normal" System ID shown on pages 18 and 19 of the Mega-CD Disk Format Manual shows the IP and SP addresses like this: ;Disk Address,Load Size,Entry Offset,Work RAM DC.L $00000200,$00000600,$00000000,$00000000 ;IP DC.L $00000800,$00007800,$00000000,$00000000 ;SP Note that IP starts at $200, which is just past the ID Blocks, and SP starts at $800 which is the beginning of Sector 1. (Remember, each sector is $800 bytes long.) Incidentally, the $7800 in the manual is wrong. It should be $7200, since it's intended equal the number of bytes remaining between the end of IP and the end of sector 15.

  • Sega Alison Macmahan in 1951 the US Passed Some
    SIDEBAR 4: Company Profile: Sega Alison MacMahan In 1951 the U.S. passed some new laws regulating slot machines, which led Marty Bromley, who managed game rooms at military bases in Hawaii, to buy some of the machines that were now not allowed on the continent and open Service Games (SEGA). In 1964 Rosen Enterprises, Japan’s largest amusement company, merged with Sega, becoming Sega Enterprises. In 1966 Sega released Periscope, a game (video game or some other kind of game?) that became such a hit in Japan and then the US and Europe, making it Japan’s first amusement game export. High shipping costs led US arcade owners to charge a quarter per play, thereby setting the standard price for playing arcade games for years to come. Sega released its first Master System in 1986, and in 1987 unveiled its 16-bit Mega Drive game console. Sega released the Mega Drive in the U.S. as the Genesis in 1989, and in 1991 the company recreated itself with a new mascot – Sonic the Hedgehog. By 1992, now starting to fall behind Nintendo in sales, Sega shipped a Sega CD peripheral for Genesis game console, whose power was increased to 32x (32 times the original?) in 1994. That same year Sega released the Saturn in Japan and met new competition in the form of the Sony Playstation. By 1997 it was clear that the Saturn could not compete and it was discontinued. In 1999 Sega released its Dreamcast game console in U.S. with record pre-release sales. In 2000, the Sega Internet Service for the Dreamcast was added, leading to sales of 10 million consoles by 2001.
