Bay Area, CA Racketboy Member's Meet Up!

[sevin0seven]

Got a message back from Apollo and Marvel 3 is happening. I'll bring the game for ps3 with my tourney stick and my akuma fight pad, unless someone else has a stick. I hate playing pad now ever since I relearned everything

that's a very good advantage. i don't know anything about MVC3.....yet.

.i wonder if ApolloBoy has SSFIIHD on his 360..

Unfortunately I don't. I'm not a modern gaming guy so the 360 and the Wii actually belong to my brother. Though since they sit in the family room, they're free for everyone to use.

Anyway, my brother mainly has FPS stuff when it comes to multiplayer 360 stuff, like L4D and Orange Box. There's New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and SSBB for the Wii too.

Is all your stuff hooked up with component already?

Is Jesse planning on bringing a Dreamcast or should I? (or my s-video cable for that matter -at least if he's not sure if the S-video on his VGA box is working right)

I'm good for any added Nintendo controllers (N64, SNES, NES, GC) if you need them.

Otherwise I'll just bring whatever.

Only the 360 is hooked up through component in that room, the Wii uses composite. I'm not sure if Jesse said anything about bringing his DC, but I'll see when he comes over tomorrow.

Such is life working in the video game industry.. never know when crunch will start and for how long it will go.

Sorry guys, next time i'll try to make it!

Only the 360 is hooked up through component in that room, the Wii uses composite. I'm not sure if Jesse said anything about bringing his DC, but I'll see when he comes over tomorrow.

I sent him a PM on Sega 16 asking if he could at least bring 2 DC controllers (I only have 2 and I've got a 4p game that will be limited to 2 players otherwise).

I could bring a Wii component cable if you want, unless it would be inconvenient to hook up. (though if you're using the SCART adapter, you'd have to change the hook-ups anyway)
I could bring a couple composite switchboxes and rig it up for the component lines (up to 4 sources) and a 2nd switchbox for audio. (I've got 2 I could bring -one also has S-video, but it's finicky so probably better to avoid if possible -it's just the S-video out jack that's the problem, everything else is fine)

Does that TV in the Family room do anamorphic widescreen? (I forget how knew it is, but some games are definitely better looking in that mode -especially with a screen big enough so that you don't loose to much viewing area to letter boxing -like your little Toshiba which would be pretty small to use that mode for some things)


And if anyone's bringing a PS3 without component cables (or a PS2 for that matter), I could bring a cable for that too.

I'm going to bring my DC with two controllers along with the VGA box. I didn't do sufficient testing with S-Video vs Composite so I want to take the opportunity in doing so. Plus, I want you to take a look at it, Chris. Also, I'll bring my Sega CD model 1 since it needs a fuse replacement.

Speaking of the Wii, we would have to do component video if we're gonna do this rather than scart since the converter is going to be where the TV in Ben's room is with the SNES, Mega Drive, PS1, Saturn, etc that uses it. I can try to come over earlier to help set up if need be so things will be settled before more people arrive. I can also bring my 3-way scart switcher to make switching between consoles that use scart cables much easier.

Likewise. It was great to see everyone again. Too bad some couldn't make it. Also, can't wait for the video. I want to see the recap on our game of Castle Crisis. Also had fun playing Gunstar with Brad until both of us died and we had to restart the entire stage we were on. At that point, we pretty much said "screw it."
