Here's the video you requested (offset is -17, 29.97 fps), all I did was de-interlace the M2V rip that's available with Shuttle Encoder and compressed it more than I would have liked. I tried a version with a larger bitrate and it stuttered like crazy. The black bar at the bottom is how the disc was mastered and the video should be left alone, if you look at photos of the cabinet you will see there is actually a black piece covering up the bottom of the monitor, maybe a leftover from when it was on Star Rider hardware. From what I can tell the PCB video layer needs to be shifted down and to the right a little for the hitboxes and overlay sprites to line up proper.

I also synced up the audio to the video in the MP4 as best as I could, but with the awful drop outs its hard to tell how much it pops with frame skips. That's all from me on this for now, tbh as much as the game running is cool the AI aspect I really do feel ehhhhh about.

Now that I think about it, there's a "retro"-type arcade (not a modern kiddie casino) near my house that has a couple laserdisc games running on Dexter boards. I won't name the place out of fear of doxing myself, but they might know a thing or two about how the intricacies of laserdisc tech.

(Also, I've looked at what's been going on since I abandoned this thread, it seems pretty neat! Nice to know I'm not the only guy on Planet Earth with a hyperfixation on laserdisc games :p)
