Magfest 2014 (Jan 2-5)
Re: Magfest 2014 (Jan 2-5)
Alright, I've got the board right here, so if you want to bring the carts, I've got a mobo for you. When did you plan on heading down? I'll be there tonight since I live close by, and I can bring Die Hard as a placeholder if needed.
Re: Magfest 2014 (Jan 2-5)
I'll be getting there around 6pm on Friday, leaving sometime on Sunday to go to AGDQ. I was actually gonna ask, is there a shuttle from reagan to the hotel? I'll need a ride otherwise.
Dimahoo is a fun game.

Per the Marriott website, you can reserve a shuttle from Raegan National to the Gaylord. There's an $18 fee, and don't forget to tip the driver. Call 301 965 2081 to reserve.

StarCreator,
So, this is what I've got japanese-gaming-360 that I'm bringing.
Shiki III
Otomedius Gorgeous
DDP Black Label Extra
Shooting Love 200X
Mamoru-Kun
Ketsui
Deathsmiles IIX (retail)
Strike Witches
Radirgy Noah
Ketsuipachi
Under Defeat HD
Did I miss anything...and do you need me to bring any of the NA releases or region-free 360 titles or are you gonna bring them all?
I'm also going to dig out the older 360 NA 360 that bought all the XBLA titles. So we (should) have all those as an option. I'll have to see what works once we get there, or I'll hook it up in the next few hours and check.

If you see a short girl 4"10', possibly wearing a Mr. Saturn on her head playing on any of the cabs say Hi to her for me, I told her to get to the gaming room for some shmups at some point. That's Edobean!

Re: Magfest 2014 (Jan 2-5)
I hope you have a backup plan for filling in Batrider; just pulled it out to test while I collected up all my boards, and the sound is very oddly distorted. Doing a little bit of poking, it sounds like the FM chip is busted in a bizarre way; the PCM all sounds fine. If we want to still run it, I'm ok by it, but I'm just putting that warning out now.

That's a wrap guys! Hope you all enjoyed and got all your PCBs back! Huge thumbs up to majors for managing the chaos as expertly as usual!
Re: Magfest 2014 (Jan 2-5)
Yep, it was a lot of fun (if not completely exhausting)! So.. just wondering.. whatever happened to those jugs of sweet tea?

I last saw them in the other Canadians' room the next morning. Didn't look like anyone had touched it; I guess they really wanted to save it for when they had pancakes on hand.Kiken wrote:So.. just wondering.. whatever happened to those jugs of sweet tea?

Oops, guess I missed that I blinked while checking the picture to see if Martin had blinked. Thanks everyone who brought games/cabs.

Re: Magfest 2014 (Jan 2-5)
MMP was running on the 360 anyway because Strider's flight got canceled and we thus didn't have use of his PCBs. The SLG3000 we were using with it worked great also, but I don't think I guessed correctly when I tried to get MMP's output resolution to match up to where the scanlines were being generated. Unfortunately, setting up a machine to play with a bunch of people waiting is not optimal conditions to experiment with stuff like that.
Ketsui was next, and looked amazing at 93/94% overscan (to match the game's native 224 horizontal resolution: (224*2)/480 falls in between the two closer to 93% but I think 94% looked a little better). Fitting MMP in meant we never got to try out DOJ as intended though.

Re: Magfest 2014 (Jan 2-5)
We gotta bring more cabs next year. If I can find a way to bring my cab, I'd bring all 3 Parodius games and just rotate them.
Re: Magfest 2014 (Jan 2-5)
Oooooh, were there any 1CCs or other notable achievements during this event?

Re: Magfest 2014 (Jan 2-5)
Thanks again guys! Love that I was able to get the good shooters running. I'm sure the credit-feeding attendees, even though they did not know what they was playing, enjoyed them also.
Big props to Boss and Star for allowing us the used of their babies. I did not see any damage and I hope they only need some windex after the show. Glad to meet everyone...let's see:
Mikehaggar -> Can't go wrong with Tetris, nice to see someone that KNOWS how to play!
Zerst -> Sorry for the confusion on the ST-V carts, I normally do not rely on others but I just do not have enough boards.
Trap15 -> Hope your Batrider and Garegga didn't melt, those god lots of love.
Kiken -> WOW...I saw you beat Ikaruga at least 3 times...you should hold a clinic
dead 88 cats -> Sexy is better...but any Parodius is a good Parodius. I always saw attendees sitting down at it when it had it's run
brendz -> The trooper from Canada! Youmacon is closer and I need boards...we can work something out
My memory during cons is...not so good, so if I forget ppl then you'll just have to keep coming and playing until I remember you name-to-face! I hope the schedule helped things out, but I'm open to hear opinions or suggestions. MAG is the biggest event I bring cabs to that works well for STGs. Starcreator(maybe some others) go to Animazement and gives me support, didn't know if you'all wanted to have a summer con-meetup. He'd be the best to ask if he thinks it'd work.
