I'm very curious about this-would it have to be the Pioneer Laseractive? Or would a regular laserdisc player do?

If you want to play Laseractive games you have to use a Laseractive player. There are several very old players that were used in arcade games, but that is whole different animal.

OK, is the Laseractive region-free, with regards to laserdisc games? Because there are some games from Taito that I'd love to play.

Vajara is pac-n1 or n10 (the NEC version) that will run you about 3x the price of say Hyperion on an S10 laseractive.

Laseractive is a souped-up Sega CD. Sega CD is very region-locked. (A Sega CD unit won't even work on a wrong-region base Genesis/MD.)

However, the region lock should be entirely in the module, so I suppose an import Sega module could work. You might have a problem with PAL games (if there are any), since LD players are generally not dual-standard unless sold in the EU, but JP games should work with a JP module in a US player.

Theoretically.

Kinda off topic...but does anyone know who will repair a Magnavox VH-8000 or VH-8005? Most LD service centers dont want to touch these Magnavisions...and this is very important to me. Can anyone help?
