  1. Thanks man. Looking to improve me amateur stream this year based on the suggestions from last year. I've added a ground loop isolator from a suggestion from @Neerrmand and USB powered hub from a suggestion from @davemurray. Not sure if anyone knows who that is? Anyways.... Will be streaming for those that would like to watch. Good luck gents! I should probably add the link to the stream.
  2. Thanks for posting this! Glad to see a tournament in Milwaukee still. There will be a stream for the tournament as well once the link/channel is firmed up someone will post here and on discord. FYI - Tournament starts at 11AM. 11PM is just a typo.
  3. Based on the info I've read from others on here I made a probability chart for reference. Odds may not be exact. Please excuse the crudity of this model. If something does not look right let me know and I can update. It the cut scene does not come up below are the APB odds. " If the cut scene does come up it uses 50APB" or 20.3% Updated the below chart based on Bruddog's HSTL discord post. Thanks Bruddog!
  4. I'm interested in going. What time does the tournament start and about what time would you expect it to end?
  5. Was great seeing everyone yesterday! Congratulations to Regulator and special thanks to Jon and Rico for running the tournament. Thanks to Troy for the tips on the stream and also for the feedback during! Can't believe JoeyGats is in WI now. As if it wasn't hard enough to win a tournament in the area. lol
  6. Thanks for the heads up! @trojan1979 I used a hot spot at Tundra bowl and it worked a lot better. Don't have the ability to do that this year. =( I'm going to stop by Boomers today and check it out. If someone has the ability to setup a hot spot on their phone it would probably work a lot better. Uses a lot of data though. But when it's for Tecmo it's all worth it, right? If anyone has that ability hit me up!
  7. The tournament will be streamed as well. Here is the link. Tournament starts around 10AM or so. Will plan on having it up the entire time. https://go.twitch.tv/darthrockman
  8. Yeah I thought so too. Tried a different NES and different cables. When you hit reset like 3x's on the NES it will go away for a few mins but then comes right back and never goes away until the next resets. Seems like something with the actual adaptor. When I add the cable splitter to a TV it's not on the TV just the laptop capture screen. Very odd.
  9. Any more recommendations on USB capture devices? The one I bought has a green line down the middle that won't go away. Does it on multiple NES systems. Support said they don't know what it is. Looking to buy one that works right. USB Capture with free green line down the middle. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073PVGJW2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I see this one recommended but is now over $50 and takes 2-4 weeks shipping. Could buy a used one If I had too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002MT7JFQ/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me Darth
  10. I was watching the stream as well and thought about muting it but then decided just not to watch at all. Not a fan of that style. Loved the look of the stream. Hated the sound of the announcer. Bummed as it's raining and could of watched all afternoon.
  11. E-mail is how he handled the past tournaments. He also has a facebook page for tournament updates "Tecmo Milwaukee".
  12. Congratulations Mort! Thanks to Troy for running the tournament. Had a great time and looking to forward to the next one after the baby can crawl. =) Once again I finished 2nd. Always a brides maid never a bride!
  13. This works! Thanks for the rom! Now when I play flash80 maybe he'll stop wining about how I got the better team. Ha! Although, having away and home uniforms would make it much better to play against someone. Either way this is good stuff! Thanks again.
  14. Congratulations Rico! We're surprised you won too! j/k You played well and deserve it. Thanks to Jon for taking time to coordinate the event. Also a special thanks to his wife and family for supporting a game we still love even though they don't always understand our Tecmo craze. A shout out too to all those that traveled to support it as well including GBLAN! Looking forward to the next one. The first one is the hardest and they only get easier, right? At least that's the story were sticking too.
  15. Any of you MN gents coming to the Milwaukee tournament on April 23rd?
  16. I think some of the lag was cuz I was playing the game online while trying to stream. Probably a recipe for disaster without a faster connection. To do a better test I'll have to setup the capture card and try it again. Trial and error! Thanks again for the help!
  17. Thanks for the tips! I did some testing last night and the CPU utilization was low so I think that's ok. I set the camera's FPS to 15 which is pretty low. I was mainly messing with the bitrate and it seemed like the max I could do was 700. Folks said the camera looked fine but the game was a bit choppy. Watchable but not great. Brutopia's fps rate was ~56 so was getting some lag for sure. Will do more testing.
  18. Screeching noises sounds like feedback from the microphone. Speakers close to the microphone? Just a guess.....
  19. What internet speeds have folks been successful with hosting live events via Twitch? I have 1MB upload speed at home and it worked well once I turned the bitrate to around 1000. Once we get more views I'm assuming that will affect the hosting server and not our local site. Folks online recommend much higher upload speeds however I don't think Tecmo needs HD quality. Any input would be appreciated.
  20. All this talk about running it smoothly and ensuring it's setup correctly is fine but what we all really want to know is why is there no mention of a T-shirt? Ha!
  21. There has been an awakening.......Have you felt it? Long live Tecmo is right! Between Discord and some folks stepping up with tournaments, Tecmo lives. I have had my eye on the Iowa tournament as well. Just a stone's throw across the pond.....or should I say field.
  22. The emperor is most pleased with this report of a Milwaukee Tournament...... I will be scouting this place out soon. If anyone would like a report let me know.
