Dexter Auto-detection of player type working in latest update

Dexter can now auto-detect whether a "Rick Dyer" game is configured for LD-V1000 or PR-7820 mode.  These games include Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, and Thayer's Quest.

Astron Belt (VIP9500SG mode) confirmed working in Dexter!

I just finished up experimental support for the Hitachi VIP9500SG laserdisc player for Dexter.  (BTW, I learned that the 'SG' apparently stands for SEGA hehe).  Warren tested it out yesterday and it seems to mostly work.  There may be a few defects but frankly it's hard to tell what "working correctly" looks like on this game since it's so poorly designed :)

I'll be adding this new firmware update to Dexter Manager soon (it's not quite available).

Cliff Hanger confirmed working on Dexter rev 3d!

Cliff Hanger is now confirmed working on the latest Dexter rev 3d board using the infrared interface!  This is huge!!! :)

Seek delay added to Dexter!

See video :)

Dexter Dragon's Lair 2 bug fixed

Attention Dexter users,

I've fixed a long-standing bug with Dragon's Lair 2 and Dexter where every seek would return with an error.  The game can now be played with Dexter (again) although I still have not implemented stop code support, so all scenes will overrun slightly.  It's progress!  You can update your Dexter devices using Dexter Manager (link on the front of the Dexter home page).

Dexter HOWTO (updated as of 8 Aug 2015)

New Dexter HOWTO videos

I've been threatening to do these for what, 3 weeks?  I finally got them filmed.

Sorry that I speak quietly in some parts.  Hopefully I covered everything most people will need to get the most out of their Dexter boards.

Pre-built Dexter PCBs have arrived!

I was hoping to get these at CAX but it was a day late.  They were waiting for me when I got home from CAX.

I've tested them and they are basically everything I had hoped for!  I will be shipping these out to people who prepaid for them ASAP.

Here is a video of a quick test:
