Will Laseractive play japanese LD-roms and Laserdiscs

[xfrumx]

Of course the LD-Roms is with the US Sega Pac. Just wanted to know if it would play either of these as there are many cool Japanese Laserdiscs out there.

This is a very good question and I'd like to know as well.

I believe the answers in this thread indicate YES

My Laseractive was region free....it would play anything. I can only assume it would play Japanese LD discs as well...

You should be able to play Japanese Mega LD and LD-Rom discs on a US Laseractive system however I don't think you'll get very far trying to play a LD-Rom disc if you only have the Sega Pac.

Nice thread. I need to give my Laseractive some luvin'.

What about Japanese Sega CD games on a US Laseractive or vice versa? I suppose I could just go TRY it but obviously that would require me to get up out of my chair...

I believe SCD games are still locked out, but if you're adventurous (and have a chip burner), I think you can go to http://www.gamesx.com for information. I think the BIOS chips in the Genesis console adapter were socketed, so you don't have to desolder and resolder the chip every time you want to change regions. With a little work, you may be able to set up a little rig and a switch.

You know...I started thinking about this in detail and remembered I had both a Genesis and Mega Drive module. As seen in the pics, both will play "Mega LD" games but each plays either US CD/cart titles and the other plays Japanese titles. The one cool thing is that the Laseractive unit itself does not care if you are using a US or Japanese Genesis/Megadrive module.
