Speed is all that matters.

Please remove my N64 and my DK 64 from the list, thanks

Done.

Quote from Rueake:

I mentioned this in an earlier post so I apologise for posting again but just wanted to try and get it out there again.
Is there anyone who would be able and willing to bring an original PAL Xbox?
The issue for me bringing mine is that I'm on a RyanAir flight so I have fairly limited space (my own fault I know)

Actually I have one laying around...

I'm not sure I can bring it tho. It's kinda bulky :/

Alright, if there is nobody else that could bring it, I'll bring it. PM me a week before ESA as a reminder for me to bring it or else I might forget.

Quote from KennyMan666:

I, uh, have a PAL Xbox that I got for free once. It's untested but should be in perfectly working condition. It does not have an original controller and I don't have a power cable for it. So if you can bring those things, I guess I can bring the machine and A/V cable, since I'm coming by car. Wouldn't take a lot of space.

I'll bring mine if necessary. It's been collecting dust since Ninja Gaiden 1.

Which of these should I add then?

Add Ozzys for now.

I don't remember if the original Xbox uses a standard of proprietary power supply. Perhaps Ozzy can drop of the Xbox with Kennyman since they are both going from Gothenburg?

Precursor

We do have a practice get-together at my place planned (more details on that soon-ish), but rather than Ozzy leaving his here for me to bring when I drive, I might as well bring the one I already have here, as long as someone else brings a power cable and controller.

I guess Ozzy could drop those off at my place so I can bring the whole thing.

Looking at the back of the thing, it seems to have the same power cable contact as the PS2, which I'm pretty sure is a standard power cable, actually.

Let me know if you have all the stuff needed, whatever is missing, I can bring to you during the get-together. Going to test if all my stuff works. Let me know if you need me to bring a controller.

EDIT:

I'm a derp! Will bring controller.

I'm going to also bring my japanese Little Nemo cart and my PowerPak.

I'll also try to bring my own NES (NTSC) if I can fit it, but probably not :S
I will at least bring a few controllers.

Thanks for the help massively appreciated.
I'll probably be bringing my controller anyway, because I'm not dealing with the mammoth sized controllers. As for the power plug I can bring mine but its UK so I'll need a step-down

You just need a travel adapter for your UK plug, we're all 220-240.

I've said this on Skype / IRC / PM a couple of times, but I feel like I should make it crystal clear.

Unlike *GDQ, we will not record your runs, encode and upload in high quality. We don't have the man power nor equipment to handle that. If you want to record your run, you will have to hook up the console to a DVD-recorder / Capture device yourself.

Of which I assume there will be enough on-site, including people who know exactly how they work?

I think we could make it a low priority during the setup-day to try and record SDA-acceptable vids (using whatever is around and reasonable) for those who want that and are there that day, so they know how to set that up when they play their game?

If they want to keep the run they should bring their own recording material like DVD's or USB-storage devices.

Just a thought.

Whatever you did to split game audio last year, that needs to be done again.

RCA plugs from all consoles. (No console should run on HDMI, only component)
3.5mm to RCA from PC.

Simple.

Aha. I'll toss in a ground-loop eliminator with the equipment I'm bringing in then.

(When PS4/Xbox One running becomes active reality I'll set everybody up with what they need to do for streaming/capping)

Since I'm taking my own laptop with me, I would also take this little thing to ESA: http://gamerzone.avermedia.com//products/live_gamer_series/live_gamer_portable
The only disadvantage is that it only can record games from PS3, XBOX360 and the Wii. Older consoles with the Scart or video-chinch input are not supported by the device.
I hope I can get a small external HDD for the recording, altough I have 300GB free space on the laptop, but I want get sure that I don't run out of space Smiley

We've got the gear to upscale all content (except RF, don't know really, can't say I've tried that :D) to formats/inputs that device can capture. If we get our hands on a couple of more HDMI-splitter that would work.

So in other words, it doesn't matter which console it is, as long we have an HDMI-splitter you can provide me with a signal, which I can record on the laptop with my device, right?

I think I have an HDMI-splitter I could bring, since it's quite small, if it's needed. Don't know about the quality of it though.

Perfect, I just ordered an external 1TB HDD for recording, just in case the space is not enough for the 140h+ stream ^^

Btw. I'll be coming on Monday (15th July), not on the setup day, I hope this isn't a big problem.

1-3 N64 controllers

I can also bring HDMI cables if needed.

-> N64 w/ Expansion pack; up to four controllers, rumble pack, transfer pack
-> PlayStation; one controller
-> Second controller for a SNES
SNES games:
-> Asterix (Not the one I'm running, that's with Obelix, and is on the will-bring list)
-> Donkey Kong Country

-> Super Mario World
-> Yoshi's Island

If anyone wants me to bring any of that, PM me or write in here by next week-end.
Nev, do not add any of these in the non-marathon part, until I confirm to you that I'm bringing it ^^
