Sega Genesis add-on for this Pioneer LaserActive laserdisc home media player let one play games on LaserDiscs, a combined digital-analog disc format. Digital in-game graphics is rendered by console hardware of these add-ons on top of analog video. Here's the description:

The technical side of archiving process has finally been dealt with and now is considered polished enough:

The "Mixed media image" was developed for dumping these discs, this format combines digital content and captured raw uncompressed analog video signal into a single .mmi file (hence why huge sizes up to ~40GB per disc side), several games have already been dumped:

Currently, the author is adding support for Mega LD games in emulator Ares also on GitHub.

I ask to add support for this format to clownmdemu. Considering the emulator is in early stage of its development, it can be added as a long-term goal to "todo.md" (standard Mega CD should be implemented first beford adding Mega LD laserdisc games).
