https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... sp=sharing

I also have the following that I can bring:

-KIC Control Box Model 045DX (supergun)
-Two Sony PVM monitors (20" PVM-M2U and a 14" PVM-M4U)

As for food I will bring some carne asada, tortillas, and some onions to grill.

Looking forward to attending and meeting everyone!

[blackoak]

I'd like to propose some Jamestown sessions if there's a suitably large hdtv available. I can also bring a nice minty PVM 2530 with cabling all ready to go for rgb/scart systems (or a supergun). Can bring the chipped Saturn again too. Some pcbs I have that I don't see on the lists:

Sidearms, UFO Dangar, Willow, Ghouls and Ghosts, Black Heart, Dragon Saber, Thunder Cross, Brave Blade, Xexex, Tatsujin, Fixeight, Outzone, Sengoku Blade, Dimahoo, both D&D games (with 4P harness+controllers)...

[trap15]

I'd appreciate Black Heart and OutZone

[Jelloman581]

OH ITS ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!!!

I'll bring a bigger variety of fighting games, as there were a few that wanted BlazBlue (have all 3 releases, so prob the latest one). I'll prob make some of that fabuloso goolash! I have a PC I'm setting up for my Kraylix cabinet that has MAME (need to update shmupmame on it too) and a bunch of PC based shooters (including Jamestown), so if there is interest in that, I can bring that as well.

Hope DDP SDOJ is out by then, love to play it on a proper cab again!

I wonder how many people will be trying to sell CAVE games once we get our collector's set later this month lol

[jepjepjep]

Count me in Frenetic! I'll bring some food/snacks.

Here's a list of my pcbs guys, let me know if you want to play any of them: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... jZlE#gid=0

I can also bring the 24" monitor that I brought last time if there's a need.

[Tyranix95]

Hey F,

Count me in too, please.

And put me down for either Onion Dip--or two bags of Potato Chips.

Here's my board list: http://www.arcade-museum.com/members/me ... _id=422541

Just let me know what you want to play.

Thanks,

[arcade game]

[Jelloman581]

[dannysaigon]

Danny saigon

[thelion1856]

Cant wait to meet all you guys & learn more bout the STG games. I'll come equipped with some of the best beers from from the breweries in san diego!

http://www.ballastpoint.com/

http://www.stonebrew.com/

http://www.greenflashbrew.com/


Edit: lightning brewery is ok but how could i ever forget green flash! So green flash instead!

[AKRATEN]

I am stoked to be in town for a awesome game visit.

If you need me to bring anything let me know.

[mesh control]

Depending on where my finals land; I would like to come.

[louisg]

Oh man, maybe I'll be able to make it down for this! Make it a weekend getaway.

[Fly]

Tournaments/Live Demos:
Head to Head Hudson Shooting Watch Duel
Frenetic

Oh, shnap! I might have to go just for this! I've always wanted to try one of thoise things. Have you guys done this before and what were the best scores? I might be able to go 24-26/sec depending on what techniques you think are legit.

Hector

[trap15]

All techs are legit, but I find using only one button to be the truest test of skill
24 is incredible though, I'd like to see that no matter how you do it

[Fly]

Here are a couple of samples of what I can do on one button

NES Track & Field

Arcade Track & Field

I think it would be cool to see how many hits per second.

Hector

[trap15]

That's magic.

The buttons on the shooting watch are like the NES ones, but a bit tougher, so that arcade tactic won't work, but the NES one should. I'd be blessed to see that IRL

[dannysaigon]

I will bring a 32" hd tv for the jamestown!!!

[blackoak]

awesome! I'll also bring the ToD/SoM setup then, and my custom harnessed HRAPs for 4P D&D. Hopefully your tv won't have any problems with the XRGB and my supergun... when I've taken it to friends, its proven to be tempermental depending on the tv.

[Necronopticous]

Hey man, I should be able to make it this time around. Count me in. I'll bring some kind of delicious that we are lacking (to be determined as the date nears)

I have the following PCBs:

Strikers '99
Dragon Blaze
Donpachi
ESPGaluda II
Mushihimesama
Mushihimesama Futari

I'm happy to bring any or all of them.

[trap15]

THEY'VE GOT A DOOMSDAY MACHINE!

Please bring DonPachi

[AKRATEN]

I like the game with the dragon

[Tyranix95]

Hey arcade,

If you bring some Candies, make sure one is a NEO.

[trap15]

One month of hype left I'll be bringing Ibara Kuro in addition to whatever I've said before

I'll also be on the look-out for a decently priced Armed Police Batrider Gotta fill up my YGW collection

Also, I've updated my games list if anyone wants something I've gotten recently.

EDIT: Additionally, I can bring my capture card if someone can bring some setup to hook it up to. Maybe alamone could bring a setup to hook up the PCBs to the card, and then someone else brings a tower to put it in? Needs to be a fairly decent machine for good streaming quality.

[alamone]

I'd be up for it if there would be a Norcal carpool arrangement for the weekend (blackoak?)

[Softdrink 117]

Regarding capture:
I may be able to lug my tower out if we want to record or stream. I have the same card as trap, and it's theoretically capable of recording directly off of PCBs. However, after experimenting I have yet to figure out how to do so. It is great for recording off consoles. I have a bunch of replays at 720p/30 which I compressed in real time; those are available on my YT channel, here, if you guys want to have a look. I haven't tested it streaming yet, though I plan to soon.

I have a pretty serious system (GTX 560Ti, i5-2500K, 8GB DDR3, dedicated audio card -- runs everything I've thrown at it at maxed settings with power to spare). It conveniently also has the complete Tale of Alltynex trilogy, the complete Touhou series, the eXceed games, Cho Ren Sha, BWR, and a ton of emus, many of which can run upscaled at 1080p/60 without dropping frames.

Four things that are possible concerns, though:
1) It's a PITA to pack it up and move it on short notice due to its unusual design.
2) My audio set up is a little bit complicated, so depending on what will be available at the meet it might be somewhat cumbersome to set up or might be super easy.
3) If I need it immediately available for homework or some other serious obligation the day before or after the meet, I may need to opt out.
4) If I bring my tower I may as well bring my monitor anyways, which takes up room and is its own minor inconvenience, but is also awesome because it is a tateable IPS panel.

Finally, I would need someone more knowledgeable than myself to provide some kind of JAMMA video -> VGA breakout if we want to do any recording off of boards.

TL;DR: I can haz computer. I can bring, but it is not the most convenient thing. If other peeps cannot I iz down.
