By the 23rd, I should be in Sydney. Ok, maybe next time I'll be around :?

Okay, I've scanned through the thread, so let's make a list of attendees.
CONFIRMED ATTENDEES (20 listed):
> namakoteam-UK / Team Mills <
- Icarus, Smraedis, freddiebamboo, DEL, mulletgeezer, elbarto, Mills, Masamune

> AEX Team Italy <
- LUN, BR1, Kati-sama, Neverland, fontaz

> Team Cowboy <
- Plasmo

> Others <
- Kaede, Herr Schatten, rjpageuk, ill6, Hinatafan, KrgFn
UNCONFIRMED (5 listed):

This list has been added to the first post of this thread. If your name isn't listed, or if I've listed you in the wrong place (confirmed/uncomfirmed etc) let me know and I'll sort that out.

Have we got an idea of what will be available to play at the meet, fighters, shmups and other stuff-wise?

This is going to be one big meet. Over 20 have expressed interest here, and if DEL has really advertised the meet via poster, there might be even more coming on the day. o_O

I've booked for Ian too, but now it's definitely too late to add someone to the group. Anyway, I suggest you to ask to the barryhouse, we're all there. The prices and the guys are extremely cool ;)

DDP(DoDonpachi) has been installed which the button set up as (A),(B),(C). Well try and get the 1player side set to the requested (C), (A), (B)button set up. Hopefully del will have realised that the (C) button is connected.

And all the Ika players hate Ikaruga because they haven't played it for such a long time :P
Except you of course. Seems you can play every game you played in the past like you played it all the day before :)

Ah, I hate that! I'm trying to gauge whats going to be there so I can practice and not make a total fool of myself. I went back to DDP once and for 2 days couldn't break 30 mil...

Mushi still better be there Del, I've been playing the ass out of that purely cause I knew it'd be installed so Lun can do his crazy ultra thang :wink:

Well, its just as well that someone else is gonna handle Mushi/ultra, and DoDonpachi because im probably not get to grips with those games by the london meet.

Yep, I'll play ULTRA all the time, and only a little bit of Ketsui! Don't expect huge scores though, play with default buttons is another world, and I'm really not used to anymore (but stage 5 is pretty much guaranteed). I guess I must put some practice in default before the meet, but alternate fire on PS2 is so much better in any sense!

Edit: how about the ULTRA scoreboard on Casino's board? Is it filled with Maniac score? Where does the scores from ULTRA mode are saved?

Many Thanks to Mills and Bob for installing the DDP! The C doesn't seem to be working at the moment, but masamune & Mills are aware of this and will get it sorted I'm sure.
Apologies for not telling Mills about the C,A,B configuration surprise for Bruno :oops: .

The DDP board has been kindly lent by ARC. He also lent me his Ketsui again, but my Batrider board is the next to go in.

Mush is there for LUN and Plasmo to show how ULTRA should be played. Its working fine, apart from the autofire circuit not banking as usual.

Masamune might just get Progear and Giga Wing transferred into a couple of the fighter cabs.

Ikaruga is most unlikely & its true that some players view it as a puzzle game :wink: .

ill6 could perhaps still provide EspGaluda 2, but we've run out of vert cabs with half decent monitors :? .

Icarus - The Poster has not been put up in the arcade. It needs a bit of 'Paint Shop Pro' before it can be stuck on the wall.

Oh and Dress Code for the Meet will be Bow Tie

Wish I'd read this post this morning, I just got destroyed on stage 4 whilst smacking every button on the cab looking for the bomb! :lol:

Cheers to the Casino guys, ARC & DEL for installing this great game! 8)

(Bring back Ketsui!) :oops:

Oh yeah, but... C is a very important button for social relationships, you know :oops:
Edit: but not as much as a good bow tie, of course :lol:
