I've been having a bit of a scout about and have yet to find a way to play GBA games multiplayer on a DS, homebrew or otherwise.

Looking forward to this, by the way. I'll be one of the ones pushing for a move to Uisge Beatha...;)

You would decide this the day I put MPH on Ebay!

Oh well no doubt I could do dl play or whatever is possible without a cart. I still have tetris!


Where is this Lacuna of which you speak?

And Uisge Beatha? WTF? Can someone write that phonetically, its not that folkish joint near Gibson St. is it?

Caspar: The map that Ches posted above is for Uisge Beatha. We *might* be moving on there later, but the initial meeting spot is the Food Factory of the Queen Margaret Union. Do you know where the union is?

[Caspar_Esq.]

Ah, yeah sure I know where the QM is, the use of the word 'lacuna' was the one that confused me!

Meeting at 5pm though? Sounds pretty early, are people going to be eating in the food factory then?

[Bluepixie]

Some will. I myself am still on the continental time for dinner so, I'll be heading home come 7:00ish I think. Will be having a pint though. :D

Yeah, there will probably be people still up there eating but there will be more than enough room for all of us. I'll probably get myself some dinner, actually. It'll just be a chilled-out thing with people sitting around having a pint/bite to eat and playing some games!

[Sideshow]

I'm coming straight from work, should be there by 6pm. I have Lumines, Wipeout Pulse, Ridge Racer 2, Puzzle Quest and Squad Command. I couldn't find Wipeout Pure, but Pulse is better anyway.

[Sid]

I hope that everyone's remembered about this!!

I'm gonna try and make it along for a while.

[Exuus]

I might come along for a while after work, presuming you'll still all be in the QM at 6pm.

[Caspar_Esq.]

Pleased to say I introduced myself by winning the 100 point Mario Kart marathon....

[DAve]

Games played (and enjoyed):

Bomberman (6 player)
Mariokart (5 player)
Metroid (2*4 player games simultaneously)

Awesome fun, thanks for organising this Niall!

[Sid]

Sorry - I couldn't make it along in the end. Sounds like it was a good time was had by all!

Caspar: Glad you had a good time. Welcome to Pause!

[Bluepixie]

That was quality. Looking forward to the next one! Thanks to everyone that came along was great to see you all. :)
Also I was wondering if people would like the time to be made officially for 6pm instead of 5pm? I was there at 5 and nobody showed up until about 5:30pm. I know that some people have to commute further than others and finish at 5 so would 6 be better? How long did you all stay til?

Yeah, Bomberman was awesome fun! :D
