Merlin-8000
Enhancement Board for Dragon's Lair and Space Ace

Laserdisc Player Upgrade Board: The original Laserdisc players used in Dragon's Lair and Space Ace have worn out and there are no direct substitute players. Merlin replaces the original LD-V1000 or PR-7820 player commands with those needed by Pioneer's newer industrial grade players (see list below). The upgraded laserdisc player provides reliability and a much better game experience. The pauses between game scenes and death sequences are greatly reduced and the game play is more fluid.

Multi-Game ROM Board: Merlin is a replacement for the ROM board used in the 1983 arcade version Dragon's Lair and Space Ace.
Your original ROM board holds just one ROM set, the Merlin board holds many.
Change the gameplay firmware directly from the control panel without powering off the machine.
Play Space Ace, Dragon's Lair, Dragon's Lair II or Cliffhanger in the same machine by simply changing the laserdisc!
And.. Merlin gives you the option to set your machine at 1 coin per play!

Simple Installation: Because Merlin replaces the original ROM board, there's no extra board to mount, no extra power wires to run, no extra cables in and out of the conversion card. Your new player simply becomes the correct player for your game.

Kit includes: LaserCon - "Merlin" Enhancement board, Player interface cable for modern players, and instructions.
Sorry, laserdiscs and laserdisc players are not included.
