laserdisc players cannot be directly substituted with any other models.

series players such as the LDP-1500, LDP-1550, LDP-2000,
and others, at the expense of losing all text overlay functionality.
Aftermarket Laserdisc Player Replacement - The Dexter board is a drop-in replacement that substitutes
for the laserdisc player and plays the video digitally. The text overlays are also produced.

European Versions -
Dragon's Lair II was licensed to Brent Leisure for production and manufacture in most of Europe. The cabinet is very
similar to the Leland release, but the hardware, including the laserdisc player, is totally different. The game was also licensed to Elettronolo for
production and manufacture in Italy. Most of the hardware for the Elettronolo version is the same as the Brent Leisure version, as well as the cabinet itself.
PC Conversion - With a PC connected to
a Sony LDP series player, a Dragon's Lair II laserdisc, and the Dragon's Lair II PC Conversion utility,
you can emulate the USA/Leland version of the game on your computer.
Interchangeability - Late in the production run, sales of Dragon's Lair II also
included a conversion kit for Space Ace (1991). The kit included a Space Ace (1991) laserdisc,
control panel overlay, marquee, two red fire buttons, button labels, and one EPROM (see the Space Ace Tech Center). The
animation stored on the 1991 laserdisc is the same as the original 1983 laserdisc, but the discs are not directly compatible with each other. The video footage is not
aligned on the same track/frame numbers.
