Equipment for Evo Qualifier Tournament

ayjayirl

Hi guys,

This is the thread for equipment for the evo qualifier. This is gonna be a fairly monumental task to do this in 6 weeks and we're gonna have to pull together on the equipment side. I am starting this thread as a separate one to the main thread in order to organise with the coalition of the willing on who can bring what. I'll be bringing 2 xbox's, 2 TV's, and Brian.

Use this thread to post up if you can bring gear. I hope to run it all on xbox but if needs be we can do PS3. We will need many things from copies of the game (please mark these with your name), to cables, speakers, TV's, consoles, cakes etc.

Please help...

I'll bring an Xbox with a copy of each of the games.

I will bring one PS3 and one 360 along with a TV or two and some recording gear if needed.

K.O.Kiki

I'll bring a 22" lagless monitor if you want.

Goody2shoes15

Have to run it past the society but we can probably steal our two widescreen TVs, not sure of the lag, Voa should know but i don't think its horrific.

Neeknak

I can bring a xbox with whatever cables are required, UMvC3 with DLC, kof 13, mortal kombat, sfxt, AE2012 and 3sOE.

Misty Chaos

I'm going to bring my Xbox again like last year, along with a VGA cable.

I will bring AE2012, SFxT, UMvC3 ( without the DLC though ) and SCV.

OriginalRazer

I'll see if I get my PS3 down there for this.

Many MK players play the game on pad so 360 for MK is out of the question dude. Won't work. Besides the patches only work online for 360.
On PS3 the patches are saved during offline.

As for games I got MK (PATCHED/DLC'D), KoFXIII (PATCHED/DLC'D), SFIII:3SOE (PATCHED), SSF4AE (DLC'D), SC5 (If its there) and I will have SF X Tekken also.

So what you need?

All the best,
RAZER

If you want it run on PS3, we need more than an 'if'

Bring your setup & Games if you can. We ran MK9 on PS3 last year so I see the same situation for this year. We only had 1/2 setups though, the more we have the easier it will be to run solely on PS3

Orim

Didn't you say we would have internet? If we can connect the Xbox's then MK on them shouldn't be a problem.

There is internet for streaming. This could well be a direct connection and a tunnel to outside internet. Having all console online on the wireless is not something I have confirmed yet. Possible but not confirmed yet. I am sure this is not be a problem. Chopper is bring his PS3, Razor his and we can bring ours as well. That should be enough for MK9. Maybe one more if people have it.

I can bring mine, which is fully patched and has all the dlc.
It's also got AE2012 and UMvC3 with the dlc characters.

Trinity Internet is finikey at best, we may have to use a VPN of a mate of our for the streaming, certaiinly on the normal student internet you can't connect because it is proxied to all hell. I'm e-mailing the TCD IS guys to see if there's a way round it. We can defo organise streaming though.

OriginalRazer

@ayjayirl

It will be there.

@orim

No way man you want me to play on a 360 pad?! lol I simply can't use them.
Ps3 it is

All the best,
RAZER

the 1st hardter

I got my TV they use for DOC sometimes I can bring. And my Xbox with AE, UMVC and should have SFxT fully patched for it (can not guarantee DLC)

OriginalRazer

Good **** man.
Hopefully my SF X T will arrive by the time I finish work.

All the best,
RAZER

ayjayirl

This is what we have got committed so far and from whom.


We realistically need 5/6 more xbox's to make the tournament work. I ask you all to remember the community only has 4 monitors. EVERYTHING else is brought by us. If you can help by bringing your xbox, copy of the games, TV/monitor then please post here so I can make arrangements and schedule

I will update this list after more come in
Thanks,
Aj

the 1st hardter

Can I also ask for people not to complain about monitors if they did not bring their own???

I know my TV has about 3/4 frame lag or so (according to others, but I may just be used to it) but I do not need to drag this heavy piece of crap in to town for half 8 or so in the morning to listen to people complain about it all day

Dreddybajs

Will bring a 360 with SFxT, UMVC3 with DLC characters, and 2012. Possibly a monitor but I can't confirm on that.

Sairus

I'll get a 360 and a Monitor up to you with copies of SSF4 and UMvC3 (with Shuma and Jill) one way or another.

animaX

I have SSF4AE 2012 running on my laptop, can use it for casuals but not for tournament use!!

Let me know if it would be worth bringing for casual only

K.O.Kiki

Ayjay, I may be bringing my laptop also.

Do you know if there'll be any way I can secure a lock cable anywhere?

Speedhaak

I have a Roxio Game Capture device if that's of any use to Doom or any other recording artiste out there.

nope, you'll need to bring one. This raises a point we made earlier but I think we should re-iterate it. All equipment brought by peeps must be labeled as yours. The room itself is secure and we will have a front desk to ensure anyone entering the venue gives their names etc and I will not allow anyone to just walk off with equipment but I cannot see everything all the time. I am accepting no responsibility for equipment brought. If you bring it, keep an eye on it. Not only will there (hopefully) be a lot of people there but I am bringing TV's, consoles & other equipment that I will be keeping an eye on myself. I suggest everyone does the same with theirs. I honestly cannot see this being an issue (AKAIK it never has) but sin é.

Laptop are grand for casuals lads, I'll have little or no room for casuals on the setups unless we get like 25/30.....which we won't so cool. Like I mentioned above, keep an eye on it, we'll be in Trinity and, well, you know.....Trinners and all that.

OriginalRazer

Iv only PS3 so I kan't bring any 360 titles lol
I'll be bringing MK9, iv PS3 copies of ae2012 and sfxt, no umvc3. Need any of the sfs down for ps3?

All the best,
RAZER

ayjayirl

Hey guys,

I know its a bit of a job, but can all of us who are bringing xboxs & have SFxT, start to create a no GEM custom profile for each character over the next couple of weeks? It will help immensely on the day if we have little or no customisation to do. Time will be toight enough.

Thanks in advance
Aaron

supersquaddy

excellent stuff my good man. All welcome. Just a point to note, if you are bringing your hauppauge, you may need to bring your computer/laptop as well if you want to use it. We have a setup for the main stream but I do not have a problem if you want to set up another recording station - you'll need a laptop/computer.

Good stuff bringing the gear. It helps . I'll update the excel today with the new additions..... I think we might be very close to our desired 20 setups for the day which would be awesome.

ayjayirl

Hi guys,

Here is the latest information on equipment.


If everyone who has committed to bringing something does, then I think we should be mostly ok. One thing I am noticing and something that we can hopefully ensure doesn't happen is the number of the copies of games. If you have a copy of the game, please bring it along. Its not a very big item to carry and it will ensure we have enough. Be sure to label it if you do - ON THE DISK ASWELL IF POSSIBLE -

Doctor DooM

Are you including my xbox in the 2 you're bringing there?

You don't own that xbox you merely purchased it....but yes. Might be able to get another but I'll see

Speed Boat

I forgot to say I'll be bringing my xbox with AE2012 and UMVC3(no shuma or jill though).

Kuro Tao

Bringing my ps3 with all MK dlc and a copy of both MK and SF X T.

supersquaddy

OK, pretty much confirmed monitors now.
Can bring 8-9 if needed.
As I will be travelling down friday night, can I bring the monitors straight to the event?
Would be Ideal for me If I could get some help transporting all the gear around

These are old'ish monitors, so will be doing lag tests this weekend for suitability lol

Owwmykneecap

Make a note of what inputs they support, so all the cables match up on the day!

supersquaddy

cool good idea.
Think most will be VGA, cant see any of them having HDMI, but then no one uses that anyway lol.
Am I too late to register for the tourny?

No no. Register away. We will have access to the venue the day before and it will be securely locked up so we can bring gear in on the Friday. Pm me your number and I'll make arrangements.

Neeknak

Guys, I have to apologise as I won't be able to attend now due to unforseen financial issues. I'm gutted as I've been looking forward to this since last year's. Again, I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Lythero

After I found out I'd be there the whole event and after, I checked my account on xboxlive. I had MS points left over from some microsoft reward thing, so I got Shuma-Gorath for the sake of it.

Cause of this I'll be bringing:
A 360
SSFIV: AE 2012
SFxT
UMvC3 (with both Jill and Shuma unlocked on the console)

Now I'mma go make some LABELS.

ayjayirl

Right guys,

The week is upon us. All our talking will be put into action..... I hope. I have compiled a list of what we have committed from people so far (thanks to all who are contributing).



As you can see we are should have everything covered. Can I ask everyone involved who can, to bring your equipment to the venue on Friday between 4pm and 6pm (The closer to 4pm the better) so we can setup as much as we can and test everything we can. We cannot get access to the venue after 6pm unfortunately. The place will be locked up by security and no one will have access. I will be there from 4pm so if you can great, if not, please ensure you are at the venue at 9am sharp. We will have a lot to do to get all the setups done and working so your help is greatly appreciated.

I am gonna be on boards everyday to monitor everything as this is the best way to get in touch. If you want my number for the day and don't have it, PM me.

Aj

Orim

I can't make it on Friday AJ, I'm in work till 9 but I'll check all the xboxs at home and do gemless profiles, DLC etc.

ayjayirl

That's cool Orim. I knew peeps would have work commitments etc, I just want to catch anyone who might be able to in order to minimise the madness of the next day a little . Plus I'll be bringing all my sh1t in. At this point that is 3 xboxs, 4 TV's/monitors, recording equip & many many cables and plug adaptors.....


One more thing. If people have 4/6/10/N pin extension chords for plugs, please em in. They will be needed.

We'll be able to provide a few of those from scifi too, at least two four-gang ones

ayjayirl

With the exception of Neeknak, is everyone else who has committed to bringing equipment still ok for it? The fewer surprises on the day they better

@el chop - can you bring the bag of cables? - if you have it.

chopperbyrne

Which bag of cables?

Lythero

Since I won't be in Dublin until 9pm on the Friday night, I can't make it in time to organise my xbox/games at the venue. If you leave a monitor out with any space I can quickly set it up in the morning though.

How early will folks be arriving at the event in the morning to set up the rest of the equipment?

Dreddybajs

The bag of VGA cables? Are they not in the Exchange?
