Mega Man 2 4-Player Race, Anyone? Tentative Date: *MARCH 16/17*

[VegaVegas]

This sounds pretty funny, but how would we be playing?? Will everybody need a microphone??

[UglyJoe]

How long do you think it would take?  It sounds like fun, but I'm not sure I'd have a whole evening to devote to it.

[manuel]

Speedruns take about 40 minutes, so I guess normal mortals would take about double to three times that time. At least.

[petik1]

I'll probably be able to do it.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

Yes, you will need a microphone (hopefully a decent one).

And because we will be using a hacked Mega Man 2, you will need an emulator (or a Power Pak) & some way of video-capturing it (what fun is it when we can't compare each other's progress afterwards?).

We should devote at least (ATLEAST!) two hours. So at least three (ATLEAST!) three. You can take a break, but keep in mind we're still recording.

Do keep in mind though we'll have unlimited lives, so it might go quicker than expected. I want to do unlimited lives so as to prevent having huge gaps between players. Plus, no one wants to start a stage over! It sucks!

Oh yeah, & we'll be doing DIFFICULT mode... just sayin'

[petik1]

What we call "Difficult" the Japanese call "press start".

[FamicomFreak]

It would've been more interesting if they didn't sucked ass in the game...also infinite lives? You really have no game!

[Jedi Master Baiter]

You really have no game!

Oh? Bring it on!

How's March 16-18th anyone who is thinking about this? I'm thinking, of course, some time in the evening.

[DDCecil]

I'd love to join. What if there are more than 4 people, though?

[Jedi Master Baiter]

If there's five people, which I'm hoping there will be, then I'll just commentate.

If there's more, though, then maybe the extras can be on standby? You never know if someone will drop out.

It looks like there's room to fit 6 videos at once, but I think that would be too busy... & noisy.

[petik1]

I agree. But how are we going to record gameplay and talk to each other? Nestopia and Skype? That could be taxing for small computers and laptops. I'll have to try it out before I commit.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

Really? And how worse would it be with a capturing device & a separate audio recording?

FCEUltra takes up less RAM.

I'll do a test with my laptop.

[petik1]

Well, isn't the fun in listening to each other scream at the top of their lungs? Recording separately wouldn't be as neat.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

I mean I want everyone's voices recorded separately on a mic so we can get better quality screams.

Plus, I don't want the video game sounds overpowering. Especially when they're all put together.

Edit: Unless someone knows of a better way? I don't know...

[petik1]

It would be difficult syncing woo of the audio with each video. Perhaps we should get in contact with the LPers and ask them how they did it.
