If its the european version, tell Dharnesh not to bother.

JPJ, you know of any arcades/cabs back in the shire?

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Sat May 23, 2009 2:45 pm

you're from glos...??

mr_m0nks · Post by **mr_m0nks** » Sat May 23, 2009 3:05 pm

Well I live in London but due to financial probs (ie not having a job) I will be living with my mam over summer in Bibury just outside Cirencester.
My Girlfriend is from Glos so I spend allot of time there

ah wicked. i was half expecting you were gonna say "no, i'm a hobbit"

no arcades mate. crackers nightclub have a sega rally twin cab, and westgate snooker used to have a neo geo six-slot and some cocktail cabs, but i gather they're gone now. there are three fruit machine parlours (casino royale, raffles, mr pringles) but none have any cabs either

It was european version when it was at Namco Wonderpark. Either way i can guarantee that dharnesh's brother won't loan it out period.

think positive...

sadly, the truth is if i ever went down to casino it would be to play in one of the street fighter tournaments

Hey!
I already told DEL he can have it, You can change the region of the board by messing about with some links!( set it to european version to make it easier for you guys, more bullets fired and more damage in the jap version and it regulates more).

Besides what's my brother got to do with this? He doesn't play games anymore!

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Sun May 24, 2009 10:36 pm

Thanks ARC. I'll arrange to pick it up from you this week.

Keep it on Japanese mode. That's the WHOLE point. Its about The Mills Challenge.

EDIT:- spadgy - To answer your XEXEX question. My board is Intl version not Japanese. Icarus has offered his Japanese board for a loan. We'll see how popular the game is in Goodge first and guage whether we should ask Icarus to oblige. It would be nice to play an easier/balanced full colour version of the game

. We'll see...

He has greater say over the loans of certain pcbs than you. When i asked for that game (when we were both at casino at one of the london meets) he adamant said no......not in so many words but he made every attempt to say it wasn't gonna happen. So i left it at that.

LMAO ! I'm sooo out of touch with games I hardly know what this game looks like anymore !

Don't recollect the conversation ...only covetous of pcb's when we first get a game..got to cane it , you know ! ..well until boredom sinks in !

Anyhow we get to see you in action....always a memorable sight...very calm,cool, composed,quick reactions and one of the best pixel accurate movers ......until you get mad ...and smash a screen !!!

Lets hope everyone enjoys the game !

Regards to all !

Ok I've bought my ticket for Insert Coin (18th). I printed out the ticket, which is basically just a barcode and address - is this right?

cools · Post by **cools** » Thu May 28, 2009 11:13 am

Yes, that's all you need. I've been told we'll get fancier ones delivered in the post as well but the printed one is fine.

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Thu May 28, 2009 1:39 pm

Thanks cools.

I'll get Uncle CHI to buy one now.

Am I right that I've met you before Panda? (I'm Will by the way). Anyway, I'm going to try and make it, so I'll see m0nks there, and the rest of you!

Was at Casino. Me, CHI, and m0nks played about two credits each, and then a graphical error appeared that the engineer seemed to think was to do with the board. He had to hold pressure on the GFX chip with a thump to keep the visuals clear.

Shame - it was a fun game with a great soundtrack. Looked easy; played hard as nails!

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Sat May 30, 2009 6:54 am

CHI will bring it down tonight and I will play test it on my supergun. If need be I'll get Fire-Bug to try to fix it. I want this game in the arcade.

RGC · Post by **RGC** » Sat May 30, 2009 8:46 am

Is it tatsujin2 or truxton2? Been playing and enjoying the latter in mame lately.

Arc · Post by **Arc** » Sat May 30, 2009 4:17 pm

Whoa! the board was working on thursday. What's the actual problem? Have you tried gently pressing down on the chips and cleaning the connecter, blowing the dust off ?
Probably best for DEL to test it on his supergun, might be fickle about power supplies.
Del please kep me informed.
Thanks
RGC- its tatsujin 2 although it can be changed to versions regions by messing with the jumper links.

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Sun May 31, 2009 4:46 pm

Aw Hell! It doesn't display properly on my supergun too

. I tried pressing down on the chips, but no improvement.
ARC - I'm gonna have to bring it back to you. I'm sure its fixable.
I have it at home, just PM or call me.

I'll check the Strand SNK shooter tonight.
Wot iz it? - Chopper 1?

EDIT:- Inti told me last night that the Troc now has Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion. The Tekbats are crowding round. Tonight will be packed.
The SNK shooter is down stairs I do not remember the name but I played a few credits on it before christmas.

Where is this Las Vegas Arcade exactly? It would be nice if someone could show it on a google map or tell me how to get there.

Looks like there will be no Tatsujin in the Casino after all.
