Toucan Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) It's Matt Splett time, as he takes on Bigfoot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5KkiFN7fVg He was streaming live on 1/6. Might be up for a TI challenge, like to see him stream Parsec. He also did another Bigfoot on 1/13, just 2 days ago. Wonder if there's a way to play against him? Might be fun challenging him to a Meteor Belt duel. Edited January 16, 2018 by Toucan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure why you would say that about an obvious reference to a common idiom—especially, where most seeing it are gamers and the one who issued the challenge is a whole lot younger than we. ...lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jedimatt42 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Nice, I was able to add my details to that poll before I get into the next age bracket (grin) --- So the real reason I'm live streaming my Bigfoot gameplay is to get used to live streaming... I really don't like editing... So I need to condition myself toward the correct level of effort. And, I've spend almost all of my free time in the last year on TIPI... If I don't take some little breaks, and enjoy this computer, I'd burn out. Since this thread is all about me, I'll continue... and lead us away from competitive gaming, as there is a different thread for that. --- I've picked up one of these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N16ZM2M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1(it was a gift... from myself) I had an Elgato 60HD (actually it is still on my shelf, I plan to put that up on e-bay), which is considerably more affordable, but Microsoft Windows angered me to no end when Edge installed crap without asking. So I needed to switch up to something that follows industry standards like the Magewell, so it works under Linux without drivers... The Magewell is slick, it is a standard USB audio in, USB audio out, and UVC video in. So it fits into the ecosystem well. I'm using OBS - Open Broadcaster Studio to capture and mix the inputs from the Magewell, my webcam, and another USB desk-mic. I can actually, easily add another web cam into the mix, which I'll probably aim at the actual TI or the workbench as appropriate ( instead of bigfoot cover art ) The magewell is more capable for retro computing than the Elgato was. The Elgato 60HD has higher minimum input requirements, so it won't grab 480p... My VGA to HDMI converters all output 480p if the VGA signal is only 480 rows high. So I used to have to have another upscaler in the mix. That isn't necessary anymore with the Magewell. So far I'm content with it. With this setup, I can capture/stream from my TI, Tomy Tutor, Geneve 9640, Amiga 1200, etc... --- The only issues I have is that the mic input on the Magewell is not visible to OBS directly. Software that selects at a lower level finds it just fine, but OBS is going to require that I set up some pulseaudio virtual mixer or something... Right now I work around that by sending all my retro computers to a mixer, and feeding the output of that into the VGA to HDMI converter's audio injection jack. --- I've ordered some more bits from Tanam1972 for my Tomy, and I'll learn how those work and post a video for that too. I suppose I could capture from the CC-40 with a gorillapod, and webcam. Once I build the boards I received from 'brain'? I'll probably give that a go too... It's all just more ways to have fun with all these gadgets... -M@ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Meteor Belt is a simultaneous 2-player game, it would be one where you could head-to-head against someone. you probably would have to do it through emulation on the PC to allow for two people to play head-to-head. Speaking of which, it would be kind of neat if an emulator had this feature to somehow allow people to go head to head. Maybe have the a website where gamers could connect for head-to-head match-ups and the server has the game and emulation software on it with some programming to allow for transmitting the data to both end-users? Probably could do this over a browser if the emulator was on a server. Edited January 17, 2018 by Toucan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they're developers running away from the idea of coding multiplayer emulators. Edited January 17, 2018 by Sinphaltimus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard of Kaillera - which may be because the latest release is from 2004! I wonder whether this is still running with MAME as of today.

+jedimatt42 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 To bring this back to the topic of 'me' I never actually played any multiplayer games on the TI until Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2016... where a passer by and I played Beyond Parsec. It was a hoot. Since then, I've play tested Combatti with ElectricLab across 2 TI's... that is fun too. We are working on extending TIPI to allow games to be written to support multiplayer models across the network on real-iron. -M@ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
