Seeing as I am the nongaming coordinator (non gaming as it relates to computers at least) I was curious as to what consoles people were planning on bringing (or would like to bring) as well as what cool gadgets for the consoles people would be willing to share with the participants (eyetoy, guitar hero, etc.). Please post offers here. Most of this will be used during the "Sleepy time" period of 2 am - 7 am. A staffer should be awake and around the area during the time of use and we will respect your wishes if you choose to only allow it to be used while in your presence.

I have a friend with a pair of guitars and guitar hero and he has agreed to let me borrow them for the LAN. So if someone can bring a PS2 we can do some guitar battles. Let me know.

Well, I have a GC and Mario Kart DD but only two controllers. My GC has the network port on it (these weren't available after 2003 or something like that) but I've never set it up for a network. If I know people are going to actually play it I'd bring it along but I'm not dragging a tv with.

So your sayin we can have 8 real players playin with the network port?

i got a few gc controlers + the box if needed.

lol.
don't bring your gc. its all messed up.
your controlers are good though.

i've only got 2 good controllers too.
and i have no idea how to set up the network thing.

as for the tv.
do they make video capture cards to work with those cables?

_!Rathe!_ · « **Reply #12 on:** August 16, 2006, 09:06:38 AM »

I have a TV Tuner card on my PC and if needed I will drag it over. Also we are going to have a couple of projectors available for gaming.

llDayo · « **Reply #13 on:** August 16, 2006, 09:14:29 AM »

With two GCs that have the port and two Mario Kart games (one on each GC) you can play 8 players. You can also do 8 players with 8 separate GCs/TVs but that's not needed. From what I remember reading in the manual about hooking the systems up it's not difficult, you just need a TV for each GC and a network cable.

AXE · « **Reply #14 on:** August 16, 2006, 09:47:59 AM »

what kind of port is it labeled as?

because maybe my gc dosn't have one.

on the bottem of it, theres a port labled as hi-speed port.
is that it?
