mvsfan:
also i wish i could open a store like this where i live and also survive financially.
but the market isnt big. not enough customers around to support it.
ChadTower:
Joe is a decent guy. I wonder if this store turned him into Gord.

Gamestop came to town and all of our small classic games stores went out of business.
Now I have to drive 45min to get to a decent used store.

1. setup a computer to host it from your own home connection directly.
2. setup a computer to record the webcam and stream it to a server which will then redistribute it to users/visitors.
you can also get networkable stand alone web cams.. these are pretty expensive i think around 200 bucks last i checked but no computer needed they have their own embedded http servers to view the camera.

Thanks Beretta. I think I'll go with #1. How hard will it be to set up? I'm kinda a novice when it comes to computers, but I did hook up a wireless internet router.
Will any web cam do, or should I buy one specific for this purpose? And is the frame rate of the web cam determined by the web cam itself or the internet connection?

Same here. I have to drive 145 miles to find a good place in Atlanta. The only thing here i know of for game stores thats still around is EB and Gamestop.
