RandomSelect.ie are doing a night where they book out upstairs in that place on Liffey street.

Mostly fighting games, but would anyone be interested in setting up a retro corner?

Hmm, maybe although I might be too interested in EVO itself especially if there's KoFXIII on, that game is such a spectactors fighting game.

I'm bringing my Dreamcast.

Only have 1 stick, 2 pads, SoulCalibur / Dead or Alive 2 / Ready 2 Rumble though.

CiDeRmAn · 06-08-2015 5:30pm

Howdy there peeps!

Looking at a Beers in mine before the end of the month...

Let me know the kinda weekends that'll suit folk, and I'll discuss the matter with She Who Must Be Obeyed aka Mrs Ciderman.

Retr0gamer · 06-08-2015 6:02pm

Any time after the weekend of the 15th suits me.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy · 07-08-2015 10:57am

I have a meet up on the 15th in Naas, not sure if I'll be home that evening or staying there or Dublin yet.
Should be up again since I'm hoping to go to the butterfly farm with Retr0 before it closes at the end of the month.

DinoRex · 07-08-2015 11:08am

I'm good for for most weekends except the 29th as Knavecon is on.

Currently in the process of moving to a bigger place so the Halloween beers will be a good one this year.

CiDeRmAn · 07-08-2015 11:12am

Well give me a day and a date or two and I'll get the post
party planners in!

Actually, how does the 22nd sound?

DinoRex · 07-08-2015 11:35am

22nd is good for me.

It's up to yourself, I don't think anyone would mind extra notice for it.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy · 11-08-2015 11:17am

I don't think I've any plans for September in general.

DinoRex · 11-08-2015 11:36am

Might drop a line to the neighbours in the Ninty forum as well.... then play nothing but Xbox for the night

It's the hour or so needed to get accustomed to the dreadful camera and controls that slows down proceedings

I'm going to head out to you. I still have Layer Section and Tokyo Bus Guide put aside for you. If anybody needs a lift from the Northside shopping centre area let me know, there will be empty seats.

I'm sure I have a Ethernet adapter here for someone, was it yourself?

Yes it was, I picked up a light blue ps2 from Adverts a while back, that's what it's going on to. Still need a decent size hdd, have you any idea what type of hdd I need?

For PS2? The standard way is to get an old 3.5" IDE drive, I've a 120GB in mine (which filled up very quickly). I've been looking at some of the SATA mods out there, some you have to butcher the network adapter but others allow you to leave it as is & use adapters, therefore you can use a 2.5" SATA drive

Myrddin · 03-09-2015 11:24am

Sorry, for the standard way it's a 3.5" IDE drive, post edited

I was planning on asking you to carry out the mod when I gathered all the necessary parts, that's if you had the time of course. I'll have a look for a decent size hd when I get in from work, at least I know what I'm looking for now.

It's hardly even what I'd call a mod, once you know someone who has an already exploited PS2. Luckily for you, I do

I think all I'll need to do is copy the files from my memory card onto yours & you're all set

Doge · 03-09-2015 5:25pm

Theres a newer softmod called HDD OSD which doesnt require a free mcboot memory card or an existing exploited ps2.

All you do is write an image to the hard drive, pop it in the ps2 and away you go.

There was chinese 3rd party network adapters with a SATA port but missing the ethernet socket on sale from the likes of dealextreme.

Vectrex Roli installed one in his ps2:

I can't seem to find them on sale anywhere now though.

Very cool, I hadn't heard of that one cheers. I think I prefer the way FMcB handles things dash wise, but this one is obviously easier to install. Will look more into it

Such would be perfect, let me know if you see them listed

KeRbDoG · 03-09-2015 6:22pm

You could convert an IDE PS2 phat network adapter with one of these

You've to butcher the metal shielding though with those, or do you?

Doge · 03-09-2015 6:45pm

Best I can do is link you to the manufacturer, but they state minimum order quantity of 200!

http://www.diytrade.com/china/pd/8985359/SATA_PS2_network_adapter_support_SATA_2_5_or_3_5_hard_disk_IDE_network_adapter.html

Maybe you could sweet talk them into selling one or 2?

They also sell parts for the laser:

A rare occurrence the day off afterwards.
We can stay til 6am so right?

jkjk.

CiDeRmAn · 08-09-2015 8:47pm

I'll schedule my breaks in the morning so I don't have to be in until 10am, otherwise I'd have to be on duty for 07:45, and be there until 20:40!
The previous evening, before the night, I'll be off around half six, giving me time to make myself purdy, dust off the 3DO, put up the "No CDi" sign.
