The PAC-S10 (PAC-S1 in the Japanese market) is a control pack module designed for use with the Pioneer Laseractive CLD-A100 Laserdisc Player. It contains the hardware for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, based on the VA0-1.8 model 2 variant, Sega/Mega CD, as well as additional hardware allowing for the playback of Mega LD software specially designed for the LaserActive. The PAC-S10 also supports playing Sega Master System games via a Sega Genesis flash cart and — with the help of an adapter or mod — Sega 32X games are also supported. Due to the nature of the surface mount electrolytic capacitors used on these modules, ALL PAC-S10 and S1 modules should have capacitors replaced as soon as possible to avoid irreparable damage.
Select IR Pins Shorted
Some revisions of the PAC-S10/S1 came from the factory with pins D2 and C3 of the PAC connector shorted. This is no cause for alarm, simply leave it as is.
SEL IR Pins (D2 and C3) Shorted
Available Modifications
- Audio Circuit Service Bulletin Update
- PAC ATTACK - audio bypass for cartridge audio, utilizing a similar circuit to the Genesis/Mega Drive Triple Bypass V2
- FRAM - FM16W08 (direct drop in) or FM18W08 (tie pin 1 to GND or 5V)
