Where: Orange, CA (please PM me to RSVP and I will send you my address/details as we get closer to the date. Thanks!)
How much: Free! But I'd really like to have a snack/drink potluck, so if you guys could bring something to snack on/drink that would be great. There is a grill available and I'll have hamburgers/hot dogs and my rice cooker on.
Update:
Hey guys, just wanted to compile a list of everyone who is coming. I'm capping this at 16 due to room constraints. Also, please get your RSVP to me in PM to confirm plus with which side dish or drinks you're bringing. Since there is so much demand if you aren't able to come please let me know so someone can take your spot!

Here are the 8 setups we have so far:

2x Supergun setups courtesy of alamone
1x Large Sony TV w/console setup Wii/PS2/Dreamcast (I have a Hori Real Arcade Pro 2 stick with Dreamcast adapter)
1x Laptop for Doujin/PC games and speaker setup w/Xbox 360 stick.
I also have Xbox 360/PS2 pads if you prefer.
I went over to Fry's Electronics and bought surge protectors for the setups and a multimeter to measure voltage on cabs/setups just so we have everyone's PCBs safe and sound (measured 5.05v, 3.35v, 12.5v).
Maybe we'll have a tournament of sorts with prizes! Also, if you guys want to do some trading this might be a good place to do testing of games/PCBs.
trap15 might be bringing a Raiden II PCB which is missing a volume pot. I have a Weller soldering iron. If someone could help him out with that, please chime in.
Here's a list of the games available, please feel free to make requests. And by all means if you'd like to bring a PCB as well, please do so!alamone wrote:I can help fix up that Raiden II PCB. I have a digital temp soldering station as well.
Just need to get a replacement pot, or if you don't mind max volume you could just bridge the connection.
Shmup PCBs requested and from which owners:
Sparky: Out Zone, Espgaluda II, and Ibara.
alamone: Gradius II-IV, Battle Garegga, Puchi Carat, Tatsujin Oh/Truxton II, Same! Same! Same!/Fire Shark
jepjepjep: Armed Police Batrider and RF2, (Dodonpachi, too maybe?)

Also we are thinking of going to play Darius Burst: Another Chronicle after the shmupmeet (maybe leave early around 7 pm?) We can play unlimited lives:
Then we'll see about getting a caravan to Round 1 Game Center in Puente Hills (about 30 minutes away) to play Darius Burst: Another Chronicle. Other shmups there: Shikagami no Shiro III and Raiden IV (as reported by Sparky, thanks!) Here's the info from the Utah location.
