Hi
The Pioneer LaserActive can now be emulated using Ares.
LaserActive comes in two flavors, the NEC LD-ROM² and the Sega Mega LD. As you may have guessed the games where stored on laser discs, giving them excellent video for the time.

I was hopping that this would have been added to the database by now, but that hasn’t happened, so I'll upload this here for anyone wanting to add this games.
There are ow files, Pioneer LaserActive and Pioneer LaserActive (OBI).
Both of the contain images (Box front and back, disc) and some manuals. The OBI has the boxart with the OBI where possible, and the other one without the OBI, where possible.
Every game has a Front box art, even games not yet ripped. :-)
I added platform clear logos.
And in the roms folder there is a _Fix.bat file. Now you should never run a bat file without knowing what it dose. So please open it in a text editor and have a look.
Adding all your .mmi file in the roms folder and running the .bat will rename them and sort them into folders. Giving you 1G1R, and moving the rest to a remove folder, so you can delete them if you like.
Anyway, I am going to start making some .bat files to sort MAME/FBNeo roms into platform folders. So if anyone is interested in that, let me know an I'll upload them here too

This is my first startup theme that I’ve work on. I use Viking's COLORFUL Theme Dark for my Launchbox setup and I wanted a startup theme that uses the same colours, so I made this.
Features:
Big system logo on the left side
Developers logo in the bottom right corner
Load-bar and background uses the same colour as “COLORFUL platform video set”
Install:
Unzip the “StartingTheGame-Dark.zip” to your “..\Lunchbox\StartupThemes\“ folder. In Launchbox/BigBog select StartingTheGame-Dark as your startup theme and your good to go.
Updating:
If you are using 1.0 or 1.01 please close launchbox/bigbox. Delete the startup theme and install the new one. On future release it should be fine to just extract and replace
Platforms:
Todo:
Add more Dev logos. About 200 logos so far, so there's a long way to go.
Add more Platform unique startups.
Versions:
StartingTheGame-Dark.zip and StartingTheGame-Dark-NoLogo.zip are both meant for 16:9 screens. The NoLogo version has the clearlogo removed. And then there's the StartingTheGame-Dark-16-10, us this one if you are using a 16:10 screen.
Thanks:
@viking for his fantastic COLORFUL platform video set and COLORFUL bigbox theme
@Fry for helping me when I got stuck with the xaml coding
And everyone contributing to the COLORFUL platform video set
