Mad Dog McCree 2 3DO to Multi-Rom Laserdisc Restoration / Conversion
I am posting this now to jump start my motivation for continuing to work on this project. The history behind this is, I loved Mad Dog 1 and 2 as a kid and I have very fond memories of playing them with my parents at different places. A few years ago, I found this cabinet on eBay, complete and working. I had never seen one for sale, complete and/or working, so I jumped on this and had it shipped to me.
What I didn't realize is that in 94, ALG starting using 3DOs instead of LD players in their arcade games. It wasn't a big deal, except for the fact that the video quality is not as good as a LD.
A few months ago, I found a guy through the Dragon's Lair LD forums that made a multi-rom board for all ALG games. With a disc swap and a turn of a dial, you could now play any ALG game. This was all the motivation I needed to convert my 3DO ALG setup to a LD ALG setup.
