Can we make do with CAT5e?

I can help out with IT Technical Support

Update:
I have sorted out DOSBOX for IPX/SPX with Batch Files, should be easy enough for us to do now. The IPX/SPX emulation is done over the TCP/IP layer so you don't have worry about modifying your NIC interface to support the protocol either.

(simply put, it all should work and not be a pain to set up!)

Hi Guys,

We aren't too far away now from the LAN, looking forwards to it . I just wanted to give you an update of what I've got my hands on so far (mostly Tried & Tested over tcp/ip):

Megadrive:
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
Micro Machines '96
Micro Machines 2 - Turbo Tournament
Micro Machines
Sonic and Knuckles & Sonic 2
Sonic and Knuckles & Sonic 3
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Streets of Rage
Streets of Rage 2
Streets of Rage 3

32x (not tested over TCP/IP):
Mortal Kombat II
Virtua Fighter
Virtua Racing Deluxe

NeoGeo:
Final Fight
Last Blade 1
Last Blade 2
Metal Slug 1 - 5, X (Sorry no 6)

We also have something called "Magic Sword - Heroic Fantasy" which I only obtained because the file name said MSWORD.ZIP :lmfao:

I've also got hold of DuVeL + JanuZ's Carmageddon on PC (DOSBOX)
and
albert's Manic Miner on C64

Note that we will have to setup IPX/SPX according to DOS Wiki for Carmageddon:

I dont mind being the middle man for hosting the IPX/SPX Server.

Please let me know if you have any further requests before the LAN, the more games the better

Cheers!

What I meant was:

Series   Carmageddon
Engine   BRender
Platform(s)   MS-DOS, Windows, Mac OS, PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color, iOS, Android

Was hoping DuVeL could pick one

There will be differences on each console so for example if it was PSX or N64 we could get the correct edition and again play it over NetPlay, this fortunately takes the cost out of the equation. (Not trying to be awkward)

Yeah sure, which platform did you want Carmageddon on? Our aim is to try and make this as fluid as possible so it'll ideally be all emulated and we will be making use of Netplay to play across machines via TCP/IP. DZ and I will be doing a bit of testing beforehand just to make sure it all works

For instance last night we had a later version of Kega Fusion which kept on getting out of Sync, we reverted to a previous version that worked.
 
Let me know what version of Carmageddon and I can hunt for it :g:

Tutonic - Looks like I best get shopping :flirty: (Of course I am not being serious! I don't want people expecting me to dress like Screech from Saved By the Bell)



JanuZ - Holy crap that looks complicated! Would be pretty awesome if we could pull that off :blink:

Hi Everyone,

I will be attending this years Lan, and DrunkenZombiee and I have come up with an idea to host our own little "unofficial supported games list". This would be an unofficial addition to the Official supported games list. We aim to extend the list by providing a more retro gaming experience, taking the audience back in to the 1980-1990's with Sega, Nintendo, NeoGeo emulation 2-4 player games. We will also be throwing in a handful of old PC games such as Open TTD a remake of Transport Tycoon Deluxe, Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun & Red Alert, etc.

We are open to suggestion so please by all means give us some ideas and we will try and bring this to the table at the Lan.

I look forwards to seeing you all there :byebye:

Cheers

OI stop talking about me haha.

Yeah after going and trying out the Compact System camera's (including the NX1000) I kind of met the same philosophy as I did when I wanted to get a small form factor computer that was a beast, its pretty difficult and I ended up going for a fully blown out E-ATX rig and haven't regretted it since. Going back to camera's fortunately my dad had a 30D kicking around that he said I could have so I saved myself £££ and used that instead. DZ also subbed me some lenses for the time being and I'm good to go The compact system camera's are too fiddley to play with for a guy like me who has massive fingers, there is a reason the NX1000 advert has a lady showing it off as her fingers are small enough to tinker with all the buttons on the camera.

The other major concern I had was that the focus ring was not actually physically attached to the lense and is totally controlled by motors internally, I found this out because the focal adjustment was slow and when the camera's firmware locked up I couldnt adjust the focus anymore. Having an SLR really makes a difference in this respect, I recommend sticking with it if you want the ease of use and additional control over the shot.

I dont know if this helps at all but if you're still interested in getting a new camera I found this quite good for me to compare the quality of a variety of camera's: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/studio-compare

Hope this helps.
