I also did some VOOT casuals using V-On Masterpiece at a few other venues (that unfortunately closed during the early pandemic era). Our retro booth guy also has Dreamcast VOOT with splitscreen, which we brought to Baguio once.
It's been a challenge setting up V-On. The PS4 versions don't have splitscreen, so they require two PS4's with PS+ (and copies of the game). We've also had some difficulty setting up twinstick controls since the official Tanita twinstick is hard to find (and expensive). It is pretty playable on PS4 pads though!
I do know that the old SM North players are just lurking around and will probably show up if we can find a venue with a working VOOT cabinet, or successfully mod a twinstick setup.
I'll swing by your event on the 28th in Circuit Makati. I want to check the place out if it's a good place to have tournaments (from the pics, it looks perfect). I haven't touched the Gundam Vs games since Gundam Vs Gundam on the PS2, though I played FvsZ DX on the arcade with people.
Of course, if there'll be AC, I'm down with it.
I'm barely familiar with the Virtual On scene in SM North, I've only been to their arcade to meet the people there once, and it was with VOOT 5.2. I usually hung out in SM Megamall and in Powerplant Mall which both had VOOT 5.4. I do hear a few names here and there back in the day, I think it was in virtual-on.net that basically turned into the PH forum?
