It would be cool to do the convention have some of the people from TECH TV and such. plan it 1 month after E3.

how would you do the ports for the connections. it would be good if you make them your self and you sell them and hope that it would be the next gameboy.

All you'd need to do is have 2 standard DB15 plugs, one for input, and one for output. Just make sure that they go to the right places.

Actually, you could do it with a db-15 easily, and a db-9 for the n64 since the controllers only have 1 data line.

You would have to make a custom cable though, you couldn't use a standard db-15 cable because you need to make a couple of cross over connections.

I know a place we could rent out for a convention right here in Camden THE COMMUNITY BUILDING it is kind large and cheap to rent and just a few blocks from the BP to go on a POP run or somthing else. It has great parking and air conditioning.

i found out that it would cost at least cost $50 a day, and next time ben or one of us are on G4techTV we could advertise it. if we could rase some cash and schedual it on a week end next summer not durring a Wedding.
i think it might work.

I'd go. Heck, I'd be happy to pitch in $20 and give rides along the way if I could go. I was originally thinking of asmall one for the members of the board, but a bigger one would work, too.

ah cool if i ptiched in money could i get a little bouth and a speach of like how and why..

so, I should just double check, are we serious about doing this? If so, is it realistic? I'd love to, but I'm not sure if it would really happen. Otherwise, I would give a ride to eveyone, if they'd be willing to pitch in some money for gas, since it would cost about $160 if prices keep going up.

Yeah, but we should have it after Ben's book is released, then maybe he could do a book signing

Also, It would be pretty fun, but I'm going to be pretty busy during June and July next year.
