Words, words, words and zero results for 4+ years of his "work".

Would be nice to. Space Invaders XL and Toshiba Sampler were shared years ago, but both seem to be lost in ages. Bust-A-Move and Crayon Shin-chan were never dumped, AFAIK.
Fair enough on the 4+years, but I don't see anyone else currently taking up the baton to digi/write software for dumping LaserActive discs.
Would be great it people were posting some of these rare dumps on archive.org instead of next-pirate-site-to-be-shut-down.com, I still find it funny that Nuon has an emulator but no roms about lol.
PS: Mods feel free to spin this topic off as "Rare Disc Systems Discussion" or whatnot. We're getting off-topic, but it seems productive to some degree.

Well I guess he spent three years collect LaserActive discs from people hopefully dumping them soon.
Wrong. "Last edited by Nemesis on Mon May 26, 2014 11:31 pm, edited 5 times in total." for the game list, mostly silence afterwards.
I remember this guy is the author of a sega genesis emulator. At least 18 yrs ago, I once used that emulator. And his main purpose is implementing Mega LD system hw emulation. LD-ROM dump is just side program that provide a solution for produce emulation target contents. And I guess his way of obtaining data are all Mega-LD system based. Maybe BIOS reverse engineering involved, then write a homebrew program, load it in MegaLD and swap to the target LD disc, then trigger data reading in the homebrew program, and intercept raw data in LD optical drive module. And I think it's quite implementable for a experienced emulator author. But yes, it's quite time costing. To me, I won't do that to waste my time. I would prefer to do cooking and enjoy the TV drama in spare time than research on vintage hardwares.... =P
@ SONIC3D: Quite a rabbit hole to journey down. I'm adding into our miss lists, but any backup of the digital data will require someone with special knowledge to come on board.
Kiss-Site
Thanks for the links sarami. The Kiss-Site looks like yet another console that is more-than-less in Japanese hands if it will ever be preserved. I don't see it being a high-priority obviously, but it's been noted that it exists in our miss list. I don't speak good enough moon to build out a miss list quite yet, but I linked to the resources on the wiki page. https://wiki.redump.info/index.php?title= … #Resources

I came across two more systems on an old thread on redump forum, although I DON'T think they are applicable to redump, may as well mention them in case someone knows more:
Tao iKTV CD - just a karaoke system, no games.
Sharp X68000 CD - A floppy disc system, some games were released with Audio CDs as bonus discs, these should fall into the Audio CD category.

One of the discs isn't dumped by TruRip (and we don't have any dumps at all).
