Does anyone know or have contacts with those working on the MAME project?
As some of you may know I work in the A/V industry as a producer but in my spare time I encode 3.11 SBC DIVX AVI Anime for the Digital Anime group Soldats. I've been friends with a guy named Raymen who used to be a Math teacher for a local high school who is now retired but he collect old video media and players.. like LD's and CED's etc..
Well, he let me borrow a nice LD player and some arcade game LD's (Dragons Lair 1-2, Space Ace, and some other odd Fantasy LD game) and I'm currently encoding all the video to 3.11 SBC DIVX AVI, which I've gotten quite good at for Animation working with it for so long.
Anyway I'm looking for someone who into the MAME scene who could emulate the Dragon's Lair hardware to run the Video tracks in MAME. Sense the ROM is mostly a program to remote a LD player to play video I assume it isn't much of a stretch to take the video (as it was never digital) from an AVI as the remote video source.
My current project proposal is as follows:
all three (3) original games must fit in under 1 gig of space with DVD quality video and audio.
Video ROM data to fit in two AVI tracks. One for the main pathing of the game, and one for the death animation.
This formating of the data can be change once a programmer can be found for the project.
If MAME won't take the project into the main stepping (sort of the same reason as PONG, the LD is not digital) then I would think a DLMAME32 (Dragon's Lair MAME) would be in order.
Contact me at Tsouthern@cablelynx.com if you can help me out.
