===Emulation issues===
The LaserActive Project wishes to document all LaserActive media. On their FAQ page, they have this to say about the possibility of creating a LaserActive emulator:
<blockquote> Emulation of the LaserActive, if attempted at all, would be an incredibly difficult task – due to the hybrid nature of the system’s system's hardware (utilizing Sega/NEC hardware in synchronization with the unique LD player hardware) and the analog-digital composite image (analog video background, digital in-game graphics generated by said Sega/NEC hardware).<ref>httphttps://laseractive.wordpress.com/faq/</ref></blockquote>
Emulation Developer Emulator developer Nemesis has made an effort to dump the games for the system (except for porn games). <ref name="Nemesis">httphttps://gendev.spritesmind.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1647&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0</ref> Copies of the games will be sent to him will be dumped and then sent backreturned.<ref name="Nemesis"/> ==References=={{Reflist}}
