Hello !

Please enjoy my new Bio ! ! As the official Mascot of the Araiguma: Advanced Battle Center , let me thank SaigaDOS 
for bringing me and Araiguma spirit to life !

You'll be seeing a lot more of me on official cab art kits , stickers , shirts , posters and much more ! 

Pleased to finally meet you all !

Website : 

Fixed the ' Contact Us ' Submission Form . We can now view these !

Added ' Community ' Tab - Forums link added , more pages to come .

Hardware : 

We now have a full Sega CD setup fully running ! 

Hardware supporting Gundam Extreme VS Maxiboost ON 4v4 is now available and running ! At this time we have one PS4 , a single unit is required for each player in this LAN setting .

Space : 

Commentary headsets have had their connections locked . We had an accidental unplug and missed some great audio but was luckily resolved fairly quickly . We've also added headset mounts on the cage and strain reliefs to keep cables from getting hooked on anyone below desk level .

Mahjong is now available ! The Marvel Pit is now formally known as The Marvel Pit, now is The Mahjong Pit ! And this setup is streamable !

Pit setup has been moved to the double coffee tables .

Sound : Set up a turntable on the big stereo system next to the big TV . People are welcome to bring their records now !

Space :

SegaCD is coming our way ! Thanks Clint !

PS2 Slim donated by Wess ! Now using MX4SIO to back up our DDR DVD to and run this way . Also big thanks to ArcadeRandomPosting for donating the PSU for the system ! Soul Calibur 2 is now in it's native 4:3 Aspect Ratio !

A second coffee table is being added for the second couch downstairs !

Stream :

This Saturday now testing ! New Stream Headsets ! Once approved , the purchase will be finalized and announced on Patreon !

Not a lot to update this week ! But something cool to add ! Hoping to see everyone again on August 12th to see how the slight additions are received ! 

Space :

We now have a Sega Genesis with two 6 Button Controllers (Thanks Travis ! ) and a Mega Everdrive X7 loaded up with a ton of games at the table . There is now a CRT on top of the fridge . 

Future Plans :

We're going to expand the space in the head to head room again . This may not be done this week , and will be seen in next weeks update .

Space :

A couch has been added to the Hall ! 

Whiteboard has been added near The Cage for tracking who is in the Main Stage rotation . 

Hardware :

We now have commentary headsets ! Thanks to the Patreons ! The worst thing is having good commentary , you want to come back to hear it , but you slowly lowered the mic from your face through the night and lost the audio . Now it's much more intuitive and will be much clearer . Viewership is also increasing ! Time to kick up the Stream already ! 

Other :

Audio echo on Stream has been resolved. When experiencing echo, it's due to the camera mics being set to "use custom audio device" in OBS. 

Stream Camera has been repositioned. 

Cups / Paper Towels / Plates stock is good . We should still have enough for the next two weeks depending on attendance , Thank you to those who have donated !

Air Quality :

Hall is still hot. Still looking out for an old AC window unit to cool it. 
 
Combination Lamp / Enclosed Air Circulators came in but didn't work at all. Going to use a oscillating fan to move around the air conditioning downstairs. Though Saturday ( Now today ! ) is nice and non-humid ! 

Space :

Cleared out room to the big CRT and pushed setups out. 

A refrigerator was donated by BranFlakes  ! ! Nice and cold , setup downstairs !

Titles : 

The following have been added to the Head to Head Setup:
Soul Calibur 2 HD Online Edition
Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown
Samurai Shodown Anthology ( I - II – III – IV – V - VI but lets be real , we have it for Shodown II )
Ultimate Marvel V.S. Capcom 3
KOF 98 Ultimate Match 
KOF 2002 Ultimate Match

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ( PS2 ) has been added to the big CRT ( which normally plays anime/kung fu movies ) . We now have a Kids in the Hall save . 

Hardware :

Main Stage issues resolved . No issues last Saturday . 

The Pop'n Music machine is fully working, control issues resolved last Saturday. Scoring does not record, so we're tracking scores on a clipboard next to the cab ! 

Maintenance Keyboard installed for the Pop'n Music machine. 

The evaluation RTX 3060 has been purchased. The cabs will be updated next with this hardware once finances stabilize. 

Other :

Fixed some audio issues on the Stream .

The Hall is going to be under going some optimization . A couch will be in place where some US cabs are currently in the near future . 

Cups / Paper Towels / Plates stock is good . We should have enough for the next two weeks depending on attendance , thank you to those who have donated !

Weekly Update ! Going forward we're going to be doing this . Even if we can only provide , " No Changes Made " . 

These will also be posted directly to Discord . 

Air Quality :

Hall is still hot. Box fans have been purchased to prop under the bay door with sheets of wood to block off the sides. Should provide enough circulation with the entrance door open. Rain will effect this as it would have a negative effect with humidity. Alternate plans are in place to address this if the situation arises.
 
Combination Lamp / Enclosed Air Circulators have been ordered . These will not arrive for 7/15/23 Kids in the Hall . This will resolve the issue discovered during Up To No Good 7 of the Air Conditioning being uneven throughout the lower level . 

Space :

The Marvel Pit has been rearranged and is now much larger . 

This also allowed The Table to be pulled back , opening more space in the main area . Better seating , more standing standing space , more travel space . 

The Head to Head Room has had some cosmetic updates . Minor adjustments to allow for more spectator seating . 

Titles : 

Marvel V.S. Capcom 2 has been added to the Head to Head Setup .

Hardware :

Main Stage 'BSOD' on 07/08/23

We have a donor Motherboard / CPU to test on the Main Stage . This has not been checked . Running this weekend as only casuals will be run , to better monitor any possible causes. 

The Pop'n Music setup has software enabled but still requires some additional code to remedy current control issues . It is possible this will be remedied this Saturday . If not , it can be expected for the following Saturday . 

The evaluation RTX 3060 on loan to Araiguma is still within the evaluation period . This Saturday we have agreed to have an answer as to if we will purchase at the discounted rate . Thankfully were given an extension of this period due to closures . To note , the previous card installed , a GTX960 had failed during Up To No Good 7 .

Other :

A few have come forward with hardware donations that can be made in terms of Motherboards , CPUs and GPUs . These are always welcome , and incredibly helpful for keeping everything running . Thank you !

Cups / Paper Towels stock is good . We should have enough for the next two to three weeks depending on attendance , thank you to those who have donated !

Parry The Ball (Attachment) - Fightcade
Save To: \Fightcade\emulator\fbneo\savestates

Update: Ferguffle had pointed out the Parry The Ball Save State is only with Ken, so we came up with the idea of doing a save state for every single character - WIP
