Hi Sonic!

Thanks!

Gigi.

That the game was equipped with that player when it left the factory...

what DL2 model? The US, The Italian (Electronollo) or the Uk (Brent Leisure)

-Finny

which Laser disc.  I ran into this problem when I did my dl2. You have to make sure that you have the right laser disc with the right player.

Hi guys thanks for the answers!  :wink:

I have the hardware of the ELETTRONOLO version (Italian)!  :twisted:

I have two PHILIPS VP-380 but doesn't works well... >:(

Maledetti Philips......

Help me!

Gigi.

No, the stock provided one was the Sony LDP-1450. The LDP-1550 cannot do the on screen text, but can be used with a modified eprom.
See http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/tech/docs/ldconv_dl2.asp (http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/tech/docs/ldconv_dl2.asp).
A Sony LDP-3600D will also work in place of the 1450.

You can only use a Philips VP-380 if your board is mounting a euro/italian version of the game on the eprom.
If they play but not well, most of the time it's only a matter of cleaning the optics. However you have to clean also the internal objective lens and it's not so easy if you haven't done it before and there's a concrete risk of breaking the mechanism.
You could also use a Sony player but in this case you need to change the board eprom and also find a NTSC demodulator board if you are using the HW in a real cabinet (not needed with the Philips LDP since they carry RGB output to the arcade monitor via SCART directly, not available with the Sonys).
