What's taken so long?

I used to know the answer to this question but it's been quite a while since I was up on it.  Wasn't it because the LD players couldn't truly be emulated or was it just that it hasn't been long enough since they've been out (or something else)?
ahofle:
Is there going to be any advantage over using Daphne (www.daphne-emu.com)?  Most of the mamedevs aren't really too concerned about game playability, so I would be surprised if it ends up any better than what Daphne has had running for years.
lloydcom:
I think the mamedevs are going for arcade accuracy.

Daphne VLPD is jiggery pokery, smoke & mirrors, mpeg2.

It works very well, and nice to have instead of the laserdisc player, but also nice to have when all you have is the laserdisc and player and no boardset.  Daphne is more flexible in that department.

With a 20 to 1 ratio compared to Daphne's mpeg solution I think you will find Mame's version a little daunting for chd space. How does 25 gig a game sound?  DVD-HD anyone?  ;D

The quality will be there.
FrizzleFried:
...at 25GB for MAME DL,  I will stick with my 3GB Daphne setup.  As for visual quality...I am running it on a 26 year old Electrohome standard resolution monitor...I doubt there would be a noticable difference from the MPEG version from the 25GB version.
