*'''[[DAPHNE]]''' is the primary emulator for LaserDisc arcade games. Supports more games than MAME. Use DaphneLoader to update DAPHNE and auto download games. The [[libretro]] core currently only works for Android.

:*'''[[Hypseus Singe]]''' is an SDL2 update to the DAPHNE emulator engine. It supports one game that neither Daphne nor MAME support; Goal to Go and also includes support for SINGE simulation. There are features [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JZPyoFf_JE&lc=UgzuBl0hD7127n-vgx54AaABAg.9XlY_rSf2ZY9XmmEiJ1hrg added] to Daphne that allow display enhancements, in SDL2,  over the original version. These allow it to support enhanced 4k MPEG-2 video in all games and support multiple screens to mimic the original hardware scoreboard for instance. Support for integrated bezels, hot-pluggable GameControllers, better lightgun integration and, with the 32bit upgrade on the VLDP, support for the full range on Singe 2 games. Hypseus now also runs a full 32bit overlay on all Singe games, this can be reverted (as per original Daphne Singe 1) to an 8-bit overlay via command line arguments. The diversity of overlays allows Hypseus to run Singe games which are far less resource intensive on SBCs, such as the Raspberry Pi and its kin.

:*'''DirkSimple''' is a libretro core for LaserDisc arcade games but it has limited compatibility support and doesn't plan to support more FMV games. Unlike Hypseus Singe, it requires you to create .ogv file from your .ogg and .m2v DAPHNE capture files using FFmpeg. See [https://github.com/icculus/DirkSimple?tab=readme-ov-file#how-do-i-use-this How do i use DirkSimple] guide for additional required steps.
 
 
*'''[[MAME]]''' 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 [https://www.domesday86.com/ 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.

The compressed CHDs used to play the games in MAME are usually between 10 GiB and 20 GiB.[https://old.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/1afdc9b/mame_0262/koa6kjl/]

Hypseus can enjoy the superior clarity of the Domesday86 rips by converting with ffmpeg, detailed here: [https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe/discussions/134]
