Hello my tag is GBakaB and I am the engineer behind the original Double/Quad setup. The idea came from the mad genius Mike Lau from TukHouseSmash and I happen to have equipment that could make his idea come to life. I noticed that Full Bloom 3 used similar techniques in order to get a “Tri” working. I post a lot of my work under my GBakaB Engineering Facebook Page and I am very open source about things I mod and repair. Someone from Melee Mecca (Which I am a part of as well) was contacted by the head TO of Full Bloom 3 about information regarding the Quad and was given the basics to a quad. If they would have responded after they got the “Vital” information they would have been directed to me and I could have given them the list I made when I did my tests and recent dry run test at Escape the Basement (11 March 2017). I am making this post so if anyone in the community wants to try ideas like these, I can assist by giving my pros and cons, OBS Logs, and overall data to better assist so the community can have a better viewing experience. Here are the Computer Specs for the Current Quad setup I have along with the main rig I use for events. I hope this information helps and we can continue to make the communities stream viewing and players stream experience better.
