Strati Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Okay, I'm going to lead this thing. Here are the rules: 1) To join, post in this thread. You have until midnight EST on Tuesday, January 16th, 2007. If you decide to drop out before then, you may, just PM me and I can remove your name from the list. 2) I'll put all entrants into a single-elimination bracket. Positions will be decided randomly. In the occurrence of an odd number of participants, the last person to be (randomly) decided will be given a bye for the first round. You will be notified by PM who your opponent is, and when I get a bracket drawn out, it will be posted in this thread. Once a match has been decided, I will notify both participants of the next round. 3) You will have three weeks to organize your game with your opponent. We will be using the SNES version of Tetris Attack, so how you organize your game is up to you, as long as it gets done. Wins will be based on a Vs. best of five points match. (In other words, there's no need to play anymore once one person has reached three points.) I would appreciate no last minute results, as the sooner people get their match on, the sooner I can figure up winners. Times for each round will be decided depending on number of entrants. If the match is not decided by the alotted time, then both people forfeit. If one person in the group is being deadbeat about it, notify me, and I'll see what I can do. 4) When an outcome to a match is decided, both people must PM me with the results. That way, I can verify that both people gave me the same result. (I'll have the bracket, so I'll know who plays who.) I'll update the bracket accordingly. Oh, also, a person may forfeit. In this case, only the person forfeiting has to PM me. 5) Winner of this tournament will be allowed to choose a game for next month's tournament, as we are hoping this can be a continuous event. More details when it comes to that. As for other prizes, I really have nothing except bragging rights. Maybe if a successful sig maker could whip up something cool *hinthint,sigmakers!*, but don't plan on that. If you have any questions, or feel I left something out, feel free to PM me, and I'll clarify things! And hopefully this will work out, and be a fun event. Best of luck! Instructions: First, you need a netplay-enabled emulator (I suggest the latest version of ZSNES, link provided in Links below) and Hamachi (ditto on the link). ZSNES comes in its own package, so just download and extract from the ZIP. As for Hamachi, you'll need to install it. Once installed and configured, click on the Join Network button and join network "OCR Tournaments" and password "ocremix", both without the quotes. (I would appreciate that you do not join the network unless you are ACTUALLY in the tournament.) Once connected to Hamachi, you will have a special network IP. Open ZSNES, and click on NETPLAY, then on INTERNET. It will ask you to either start a server or connect to server. You can work this out amongst yourselves, because it really doesn't matter who does who, just be sure to give the other person your Hamachi IP. Once connected to each other, you'll have to both load the same ROM file (or compatible, they have to be the same type). One person can send a copy of the file to the other person, if necessary. After this, the game should start, and you can both play! Links: ZSNES: There is apparently a new version of ZSNES out, v1.50. v1.50 has no netplay, so you will need to use v1.42. 1.42 (Windows): http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/zsnes/zsnesw142.zip 1.42 (Mac): http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/zsnes/zsnes142.zip Hamachi: http://hamachi.cc/ As for the ROM, we're not allowed to link to it, so you'll have to obtain it on your own.

Strati Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 Can anyone help me get 1.42 working in Ubuntu? I'm on AIM for another hour or so. I don't know anything about Linux, so I can't help you, sorry. Hopefully someone else can... EDIT: I haven't added you to the list yet. When you get things working, let me know and I'll add you.

Added, and you can do what I did, if you can spare it, which is pick up some sort of USB controller. I use a wired XBox 360 controller, myself. $30 at GameStop.

Xerol Oplan Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I get errors when trying to build it under both "methods" I came across. xerol@xerol-laptop:~/apps/zsnes_1_42/src$ ./configure --enable-releasechecking build system type... configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify onexerol@xerol-laptop:~/apps/zsnes_1_42/src$ sh ./autogen.sh && gmake && gmake installGenerating build information using aclocal and autoconf..../autogen.sh: line 6: aclocal: command not foundchecking build system type... configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one The first came from a FAQ and the second from the actual documentation. I can't seem to find this "aclocal" anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 If you can give me instructions on how to hook a SNES control up to my comp, I'll do it. I imagine some manner of USB device must exist that would do it, but I don't know what that would be or where to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine some manner of USB device must exist that would do it, but I don't know what that would be or where to get it. I'm not sure if you're OK with using a PSX/PS2 controller, but I got a USB adapter for one at Radioshack for $10 and it works quite nicely.

Xerol Oplan Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I am officially in on this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strati Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Added! And Tauce, you could pick up a USB gamepad, they're, like, thirty bucks at most. There are SNES to USB converters out there, but I've never seen one in stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Just ordered a SNES to USB adapter from ebay. Count me in, assuming it gets here. Also, Siamey damn well better participate in this. It would be nice if Bahamut would as well. Are we doing Vs or Time Trial? I think it would be cool to do tournaments for both.

Strati Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Wins will be based on a Vs. best out of five points match. Though, if demand was up, we COULD do both... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerol Oplan Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Maybe the timetrial could be an ongoing highscore thing, and we could just keep a top 10 table. Although isn't the time trial single player? I guess you could have the second player be a "witness" to report the score back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 No, there's such a thing as two-player timetrial -- and the mechanics are different enough from 1p time trial that the differences in scores are HUGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmuh Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Anyone feel like playing? I am terrible and need some practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerol Oplan Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Sure. You'll have to connect to me though because I can't see who's who on Hamachi (or just give me your Hamachi IP). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychotic Ninja Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I'm in as soon as I find the ROM of Tetris Attack, which shouldn't be too hard. Edit: I found the ROM and i'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strati Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Added! Also, I was thinking, Tauce, this tournament will be Vs. only. If someone wants to do Time Attack, they can specify that if they win and choose the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Whaaa? Why didn't I see this sooner. It's not too late for me to join in is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
