Well this thread was 1 year old on Feb 25th so Happy Birthday to this thread!!
I've noticed on the intro to Tekken 5 that while it does show Hihachi (whats his name) die after that there is a small sequence with a Hihachi looking figure in what looks like hell breaking free from some chains, so I guess he is in Tekken 5 as a devil like character or something. I havnt had time to play Tekken 5 yet so I dunno if thats true.
Also just got "Intellivision Lives!" for my PS2 which has all if not most of the classic games for the Intellivision! Some sweet retro games in there!
Thats about it on the PS2 front, just waiting till friday for Metal Gear Solid 3 PAL to come out!!
QFG Fan did you get your PS2 yet??

I'm so psyched....
I just bought an old cabinet at an auction, and I'm going to start building my MAME machine. It's an old non-working CARNIVAL cabinet.

I'm going to strip the interior, and mount a monitor on the inside, install the new HAPP coindoor I bought, and an old PIII I was given as a gift. I bought a bunch of controls from HAPP controls, so I begin wiring the control panel either this week or next. This thing is gonna be awesome!

How's the MAME cabinet coming along Bt?
I wish I had the space for one of those!!!
Tekken 5 is really cool! Cant stop playing it!
On another note, Just installed ExecFTPS to my PS2 which allows you to connect your PS2 to your PC via FTP so you can upload/download files to and from the memory card and HD, very cool!
Also installed Key Launcher which allows you to boot ELF files by pressing a certain button on the PS2 controller, making things alot simpler!!
Anyway that last 2 bits probably wont mean much to anyone :lol

The Mame Cab is coming along slow, but steady.
My cousin is coming over; we're taking out the old Monitor, which sits at an angle (you can see in the photo in my above post) we're building a new monitor shelf (basically a piece of plywood) which will hold the new monitor, which is going to be 21 inches. I'm getting a monior bezel from HAPP, and I still need to order an I-PAC from Ultimarc. But hopefully, in a month or so, I'll be working. It's a ton of fun!

[spoiler]The guy who breaks free from the underground chains is Jinpachi Mishimia (Heihachi's father!) any way Heihachi is not dead the explosion in the intro blew him into a forest where he was near death for several weeks. When he awoke he joined the King of Iron Fist Tournement 5![/spoiler]Angelus3K wrote:I've noticed on the intro to Tekken 5 that while it does show Hihachi (whats his name) die after that there is a small sequence with a Hihachi looking figure in what looks like hell breaking free from some chains, so I guess he is in Tekken 5 as a devil like character or something.

Amazon.ca got my money back for me and the user got the boot but it was a stressful event having 210 bucks almost go on me. I mean this winter alone I've lost 800 and made nly like 500. On top of that the resort I worked at isn't opening next year unless they can get 3 000 000 dollars canadian!... I'm not very happy. Oh wait I have more bad news. My computer blew up and I've done my last 15 or so posts on this crappy mac that I'm finally getting used to. So I can't play the sims 2 anymore and the only game I can play no one else plays so please someone go pick up World of Warcraft! :(
