Sounds great i will definitely bring my PS2 Messiah modded and some PSX side scrollers and shmups. I not too sure about bringing my bare PC though with shmup Dojin's preinstalled, it will be a hassle. Since we probably need to change video settings and some other stuff. well Dave_K let me know, anyway i think everyone is going to be playing Mushi and other games. I personally am looking forward to playing some Demon Front and Ketsui and some others. this is going to be a great shmupmeet for shurz.

Awesome. I'll be there pretty early. I missed out last time coming so late.

[Dave_K.]

Dave, can your DC play the US version of Bangai-O?

Unfortunally Bangai-O is not VGA compatible so it won't play in my Namco Cab, but it will play on the large monitor if I run it through the XRGB-2+.

Yeah, I think we have to many other good shooters to play at the moment to really try out more of the dojin shooters. Have you tried out that new Hitogata Happa mentioned in the main chat forum? Unfortunally it doesn't display right on my laptop's cheap graphic chipset.

Hey Dave,

What games will be in rotation in each of the arcade cabinets? And for the VGA monitor? I'll be posting a list of the games available in this thread's first post.

[Gozur]

There has been some interest expressed and I'll bring my Atomiswave for some Dolphin Blue action.

[kage 8]

Things I can bring:

Large industrial type fan (cools down my garage)
Playstation Namco Joystick
Playstation Custom Sanwa Stick

P.S I'm not paying for the pizza, I bought the last ones

PS2 to DC or DC to PS2?

I have 2 converters to use Playstation joysticks on the Dreamcast. I don't think they exist vise versa.

I'll bring em...Anything else, let me know...

[IlMrm]

I'll bring chips(can't beat the variety pack ) and 2-liter sodas.

And I can only imagine playing TSS: LPP on the 36".

If everything works out, pixelcorps, two of my friends and I will be ringing Dave's bell around 9:30.

Just a brief note to say that it was a pleasure to meet Dave last week in London and wish you guys all the best for your next Meet !

Regs, DEL

[Dave_K.]

Hi everyone, I apoloigise for doing this, but it looks like I'll have to postpone the shmupmeet, as my girlfriend had signed us up for white water rafting next weekend and forgot to tell me. I know 8.5 is unavailable the following weekend, so what do people think about the last weekend in August? Again sorry I didn't realize this earlier in the week when we settled on the 14th.

[8 1/2]

Again, don't worry about me (though I appreciate it). I could still make it Sunday of the following weekend as I'm going to CGE on Saturday.

Have fun rafting!

[Dave_K.]

Again, don't worry about me (though I appreciate it).

You have to come. I want to see more DDPDOJ magic. You know I'll never beat that score you saved on my PS2! And I'm sure it wasn't your best.

Ok then so how does Sunday the 21st sound to people?

[shariar07]

Sounds great, have fun water rafting. I done it once and it was a blast, later then.

[IlMrm]

Sunday the 21st works for me. Have fun rafting.

[BER]

This works all right with me.

[pixelcorps]

works for me.. gives me chance to send out more tees!

if anyone attending the meet wants a NO REFUGE tee.. PM me!

if anyone's already preordered thats attending, I can bring their tees over too...

Sorry, I'm out if its on the 21st. I have a trip to Phoenix I can't get out of.

[IlMrm]

I will bring four DC pads and play some four players Giga Wing 2 and watch it slow to a crawl. Someone's gotta take a pic of it. I could bring a modded DC if it's needed.

Damn, that sucks sorry Goz. I still want to come over some weekend to checkout your setup. Have to be sometime next month though.

Bring a VGA box too if you have one.

[Gozur]

Even though I can't make it. If you still want to check out Dolphin Blue, I can drop it off before I leave on my trip.

[shariar07]

Hey Gozur, i have never seen Dolphin Blue play would you be able to come by and play with us for a short time or if you can drop it off, if you can not i understand Maybe next time or something when Raiden 3 gets released on PS2. Take care

Dave has my full trust and I wouldn't have a problem dropping it off for you guys to check it out. I will be traveling between 8-17-05 and 8-22-05 so as long as we can work out something prior to the 17th no prob. If I can get my Aero to shoot green again before then; I could leave the cab if it'd help you guys keep playing. If not then just the AW board and cart.
