Mame 0.217 Roms ✧ (PREMIUM)

The biggest news in the 0.217 release was the introduction of preliminary support for the Pioneer LaserActive.

For collectors, the LaserActive is a "holy grail" console. Released in 1993, it was a LaserDisc player that could play Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and PC Engine/TurboGrafx games, as well as interactive LaserDisc titles. Original hardware is notoriously expensive and prone to mechanical failure. MAME 0.217 began the process of preserving this complex hybrid hardware, allowing users to experience LaserDisc-based games that were previously inaccessible.
