OK FYI MAME can not play Space Ace...you need the Daphne emulator.

No surprise laser disc game development faltered. A lot of ways to approach it, and not the interest, especially in the last ten years. It started in 2009 with Aaron doing film-resolution conversions, documenting the process on his blog in text and video. Few took up the mantle, let alone with similar standards I think. And MAME's codebase may have developed away from that work, even.

I don't care for the high-res images. I like seeing it in 640x480 on a CRT, with 23fps sources format.


-- later:


I found this: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Arcade_LaserDisc_emulators



Hypseus Singe is an SDL3 update to the DAPHNE emulator engine.  It includes fixes to many existing Daphne games and supports one game that neither Daphne nor MAME currently support: Stern's Goal to Go.


The reason MAME doesn't emulate many LaserDisc-based systems, is largely due to indecisions regarding the disc preservation method and format. This will hopefully be fixed in the future thanks to the Domesday86 project which employs a combination of specialized hardware and open-source software to preserve the discs in a far more faithful manner than ever before. Raw captures can be converted to playback formats for other emulators (e.g., Hypseus-Singe) using ffmpeg to get the best visual quality.which employs a combination of specialized hardware and open-source software to preserve the discs in a far more faithful manner than ever before.

Absolute easiest way is to obtain the Don Bluth Trilogy for Wii and the Dolphin Emulator and you are playing the highest rez version out there. Could not be easier.

Best of Luck,
