Aw man that's way too late for me. =(

Yeah I've thought about making it (officially) start earlier several times but there's so much footdragging sometimes as it is and 8:00 for me is FUCK YOU I'M STILL AT WORK for some people, so.

Seconding Acer's point that if you want in you gotta say something, I am done herding cats and I've made too many Skype calls to people who acted interested and then never picked up on the damn call.

I am tracking down a potential Kaillera-free route for Mametimes so everybody hang on to that shit for now, maybe we can still make it work (and, you know, might as well grab Windjammers while I'm at it). Maybe we can give it another swing next week if I can comprehend this shit, though let's not beat our heads against the wall for two hours again.

Failing that dunno what's next for Emulapril, somebody found a netplay-capable N64 emu at some point I think?

oh god it's not Kaillera but it is java-based

dis ain't gon' be gud

Addendum 2: Rychord I'm sorry shit was so poorly conveyed the one night you could make it :(

Addendum 3: NINJA BASEBALL BATMAN

Nah it was still a great time.

Gotta admit it sort of still makes me laugh how badly we wanted it to work. I think Acer would still be trying if we didn't drag him into playing The Hidden.

X-MIN!!!

I would like to play 6-player X-MEN and NINJA BASEBALL BAT MAN next game night if possible. I hope your java solution works, Pang.

And yes a couple rounds of Hidden is always welcome. Great game.

Okay, so this thing is called MAMEHUB, and it's actually been updated this year and runs on a fairly recent revision of MAME. Which, good news in practice, but unfortunately most of those ROMs I already hunted down aren't going to work anymore.

It's a little convoluted but it seems to work okay. The lag is a lot better, at least in the couple of games I've managed to join so far. HERE IS HOW YOU DO:

If anybody else gets it going flag me down so we can see if the multiplayer works outside the few test games I've tried with random Bulgarians.

(The make-a-shortcut-and-run-as-administrator thing just makes the console window instantly vanish so I just launch MAMEHub.bat directly, YMMV.)

Additional Spam:
PS: ROM sharing is on by default so you can usually get the ROMs for any game possessed by any other player logged into MAMEHub (which is usually like 5 other people tops, but still)

Alright, Garr and I gave this a test just now with some AVP and it works pretty damn well. Melted down completely about 3/4 of the way through the game(possibly due to my camels pitching a fit) but it was completely playable up to that point. Little bit of slowdown lag and compensatory fast-forward, nothing unbearable. If you haven't installed this shit by now get on that, and I'll reassemble the rom pack so we have more than three things to play.

And it does the cool guy thing of letting everybody use their P1 controls, so that's nice.

Yeah, MAMEHub apparently doesn't actually bother checking the contents of the rom zips until you try to launch, so you end up with a lot of false positives. I went ahead and checked what was still compatible and found maybe 5 or 6 that still worked, so: fuck it, new rom pack.

Having never played Rival Schools before I was really blown away at how fun it is. Wind Jammers you are simply the master at. I got some lucky wins at that. I think we need to have a SNES and MAME session at the meet. More than likely a lot of those wins I had were that I was hosting and got a split second advantage or something. MAMEhub handles the lag really well though but I think I got really lucky. That said I love me some Akira. Damn does that motorcycle babe have some nice moves.

Yeah, MeetMAME seems like a better and better idea and there will certainly be more than enough Xbox pads floating around to make it viable.

(Maybe I should also set up a Dreamcast emu for some Project Justice. Also, just dedicate somebody's laptop to Seaman all week.)

I asked for other systems anybody wanted to (and could) do for April and didn't really get any answers, so... considering turnout this week was a little anemic, yeah, might as well give MAME one more night unless anybody's opposed. Hopefully we can actually fill out some of those 4-player deals at minimum.

Yeah, I apologize about that. I was a little bit of a let down last Tuesday. Maybe hopefully ifnally get some CYCLOPS CYCLOPS CYCLOPS CYCLOPS CYCLOPS CYCLOPS CYCLOPS CYCLOPS CYCLOPS CYCLOPS CYCLOPS CYCLOPS CYCLOPS to work as a full crew.

alright, i think i've got this mamehub thing up and running, and i'm borrowing my brother's arcade stick to get that authentic "i have no idea what i'm doing here" feeling. Now i just have to remember that i've changed timezones since last time.

Man, I don't know, I sure haven't planned or prepared anything. It's been a big STOP PUTTING SHIT OFF TO THE LAST MINUTE, IDIOT week for me. There was some talk of Torchlight2/L4D2/whatever as well, don't know who's game for what. I'm fine with Pomme or Pretend You're Xyzzy or whatever if everybody just wants to wind down from WHY WON'T IT WORK month by keepin' it casual.

i'm up for a break from Troubleshooting Tuesdays. I actually have both L4D2 and Torchlight 2 (though i've never yet gotten around to playing the latter), so i could get in on those. Hopefully by the time game night rolls around tomorrow i'll know if i have a job come fall.

If you're gonna run Torchlight 2 on multi, you'll need to create an account at Runic.

CAH is pretty fucking excellent, and is never bad. But are we sticking with browser stuff again or are we going somewhere else with this on tuesday?

I'm doing to declare that it is Acer's Turn To Pick Something, because then it will be his fault when Tuesday rolls around and we have no plan.

In the extremely likely event that Acer does not even so much as glance at this thread in the interim, suggestions are welcome from the peanut gallery.

Monaco?

Works for me. ALTERNATELY: Guns of Icarus Online is gettin' a sale on. Looks like you and Acer are already on that train, and it was on Garr/Hawkeye's wishlists so I tossed it in their direction, so we've got that on the table for whenever if not for tonight.

(if anybody else wants in on this third bundle copy just say so)
