If you do bring it, would you need any extra controllers, or are you fine on your own? (it's probably not a big deal to bring since we have so much lined up already)

YES, SORRv5 is ideal.. I have two Logitech PC controllers and a Genesis Retrokit for use with a Genesis controller.
ok, i can bring my (snes) controllers for the MAME box. We do have a TV available for the MAME box right?

Let's not forget that I have two TVs with RF only. One is the ol' Zenith from '87. Still works, you just have to sometimes smack the screen to keep the picture stable. Can be used if absolutely needed. The other TV is my Magnavox with really clean RF. I have a modulator plugged in so we can hook one set of composite cables to it.
i'll bring the RF connector for the Jaguar as well just in case.

There are 6, and there will be 7 when Brad brings his monitor so we should be fine.
What a maneuver!

I'm actually going to bring my modded Genesis 3 which also happens to be for sale. It uses the same video encoder as my Genesis 2 so the video quality should be the same. I'll also bring over my AV modded top loader for added reliability, along with the Four Score. I've decided not to bring the 7800 since we've already got a ton of systems on our hands now, especially since Mark's bringing over his MAME PC now.

OK, I won't be bringing the Atari computer stuff either.
Could you bring your N64 power supply? (I can bring the extra SNES PSU, S-video cable, and N64 controllers, but I can't dig out my N64 PSU from out entertainment system)

Is the Genesis 3 still mono only, or did you do an audio mod as well? (I assume it has S-video)
sevin0seven wrote: probably it will look better on a smaller screen since it's composite. but either way is fine to me.
I wasn't saying to use the smaller TV because composite looks bad on a big screen, I meant that big Toshiba is worse at displaying composite than the little TV (blurrier and uglier in general) which is why I suggested S-video capable stuff be mainly used on that TV. (the 25" Toshiba in the main set-up would probably look best for composite, but the 14" Trinitron would be a lot easier to set-up)

Oh, and if you haven't decided already, Raiden and maybe Ultra Vortek (forget if you have it) would be nice to try.

Probably use the bog toshiba for the MAME box.
I have an S-video switch-box I could bring to make sharing that TV easier. That switch is a little flaky, but I should be able to get it working OK. (Jesse's main TV -the 25" toshiba with component- might also be a possibility, but that's also the hardest to use since there's so much already hooked up to it)

If you want to do anything TATE in MAME, you could use Brad's TV.
i'll bring the RF connector for the Jaguar as well just in case.
You could also use composite cables with Jesse's RF modulator (or I could bring mine). Jaguar RF is usually pretty noisy (not sure if yours is an exception), so an external modulator would probably be better.

The Trinitron will probably be fine though.
Jaguar games have a mono option, right? (like SNES games) Otherwise sound won't be right using composite on a mono TV. (we could always use one of the stereo TVs though)

Are there any chipped (ie Super Everdrive incompatible) SNES games I should bring? (like Super Mario Kart)

Is there any chance of GC or Wii stuff being played. (I've got some GC controllers ready to go and some games I can bring, but I'll leave those at home if noone cares)

I've got these N64 games ready to go, I forget if you have any of them already:
Smash Bros
Mario Kart 64
Star Fox 64 (with both bonus multiplayer options unlocked)
Episode 1 Racer
Wipeout 64
Perfect Dark
Diddy Kong Racing
Rampage World Tour
Rampage Universal Tour
007 The World is Not Enough
Kirby 64
WaveRace 64


I've also got dual shock controllers I can bring and a PS1 multitap. (but I think you already have one)

I'm not bringing the Neo Geo this time. I grabbed my saturn with action replay cart and a couple import fighters. I am bringing my saturn fight stick and the toshiba tv. I know Dunpeal is bringing some saturn shmups, but I might be able to swing by my storage unit again and grab galactic attack.

I've got the GC controller situation covered when the moment arises. I have 3 controllers. Doubt four people will be playing at the same time considering the amount of consoles there will be. Yes, I have a PS1 multitap but we'll need controllers.
What a maneuver!
