I think I'm going to buy project diva f or w/e that shit is called when the localized release comes out, I couldn't be assed to import so just waiting.

I have some tips, though I doubt they'd be really useful

- don't neglect the turntable or use autoscratch
- use whatever fingers you need to hit keys, but try to keep it consistent. And it's probably better to start using your thumbs if you can.
- use high speed modifiers to read better and find that "invisible line" where your brain goes to press the note (versus the red line where the note is actually judged)
- I would use random too, since it prevents bad habits and gets you accustomed to dealing with everything, no matter how dumb (like 1234 chords)

if it's worth anything, my progression as a beginner was something like this:
1-3 = one day
4-5 = one week
6-9 = one month
10-11 = one year

but I'm definitely not a good player or anything. I trained on consoles--can't imagine having to go to an arcade to practice...

>>11866374
I'm interested in buying my own controller, but I don't live in the United States or Europe so shipping is likely to get me to pay buckets. Thanks anyhow.

>>11866313

First time in IIDX? Level 2 is good. Prepare to lose a lot.

>>11866313

You should get into DDR (or alternative) rhythm-based games instead... for the exclusive reason that it gets you really good cardio while you're playing. And, despite popular opinion, there does exist a progression that takes you from 1-2 footer DDR to full-on real choreography-based dance.

Here's is the progressions steps (assuming you're a disgusting weak fat-ass with little athletic ability)

Day 1-3 = 1-2 footer (beginner mode) DDR
Day 4-7 = 2-3 footer (easy mode) DDR
Weeks 2-3 = 4-6 footer (normal mode) DDR
Week 4 - Week 8 = 7 - 8 footer (hard mode) DDR
Month 3 - Month 6 = 9 footer (e.g. healing vision, cartoon heroes) DDR
Month 7 - Month 12 = lite 10 footer (e.g. xephyr, sakura) DDR
Year 2 = Switch off of DDR to DanceMasters (or other computer vision-based dancing game)
Year 2, week 1 = easy mode
Weeks 2 - 4 = normal mode
Month 5 - 12 = hard mode
Year 3 = Switch off of DanceMasters to finding 踊ってみたvideos on either nico douga or youtube
Year 3, month 1-2 = easy cutesy-tier songs (e.g. happy synthesizer, Renai Circulation, platnium disco, etc.)
Month 3 - 6 = trickier ethnic/fun songs (e.g. 千本桜, paired wintry winds, bad end night, etc.)
month 7 - 12 = trickier pop/lock songs (e.g. Killer Lady, baby maniacs, 狂喜乱舞, Masked bitcH, etc.)
Year 4 = Begin incorporating break-dance elements into dance routines. Start mixing in strength training (in particular with your core) to achieve the balance necessary to pull off the various moves.

By this point, you should be in shape, agile, and pretty decent a dancer - a nice step away from the disgusting fat piece of shit you were before. Just be careful if you're American and male - all your friends will start thinking you're a massive cock-sucking faggot for having learned to dance.

>>11866465
>all your friends will start thinking you're a massive cock-sucking faggot for having learned to dance.
This has got me wondering: Why is it perfectly normal, acceptable and fine for an Asian American (or Asian anything) to dance on DDR machines, but completely abhorred and unthinkable for a white American to do the same?

Most of the time when I go to the arcade, a significant number of people on those machines are Asian males.

I could be as good as this guy but I don't wanna.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV3yVpPJvss

>>11866592
Eh. Last time I went to an arcade the DDR machines were dominated by American players. Even grills. It makes me feel inadequate.

>>11866465
If your goal is to just do actual dancing, why play DDR at all? I love dancing games, but this progression doesn't make any sense. If you want to learn to dance, learn to dance. DDR isn't dancing.

>>11866646
Why not just play DanceEvolution

>>11866380
Isn't DAO from China or something?

>>11866650
Is that the one that's based off kinect, but with vocaloid songs and shit? I saw that at an arcade in Osaka. I don't play it because I have no desire to learn to dance. I want to stomp on arrows to a beat.

>>11866657
DAO? I'm sorry, I don't know what that is. You don't mean http://gamo2.com/en/ ?

>>11866348
That was localized and released in September of last year.

And let me express my jealousy towards to the OP that he gets to even have an arcade near him, let alone weeb machines.

>>11866716
Living in major cities is great.

We have a Pop'n machine here, it's outdated but it's better than nothing.

Also, does anyone know where to buy these? I want a Sumire.

>>11866658
Pretty sure DanceEvolution doesn't have vocaloid songs, but I could be wrong. I know that Sound Voltex has vocaloid and touhou stuff, but DanceEvo is mainly Konami and licensed stuff.

It's got luka luka night fever, which was the only song I saw.

>>11866313
IIDX is hard but fun. Hopefully the people in your locals will be a nice bunch to be around and help you out because the Bemani crowd tend to be elitist and exclusive.

>>11866380
You just need to find a deal. I don't live in Europe or USA either but I managed to grab one of the official controllers. It wasn't as cheap as I would have liked it to be but it was in good condition.
Remember to check both regular e-bay and ebay.co,uk.

A shame I barely use the controller because no motivation.

>>11866313
Start from the bottom (beginner mode, step up mode whatever) and work your way up. You'll find yourself leveling up fast. Seeing progression is fun.

>>11866465
No just play ITG and get better and better.

hitting buttons = good

>>11866313
>My local arcade

You're so fucking lucky. It hurs being a European sometimes.

>>11866723
I think they're UFO catcher toys? I have the SigSig set and want the smooooch set. I bought them from someone from sows. YAJ/yahoo auction japan is probably your best bet.

>>11867517
tfw you are italian and there are only 3 arcades in the whole country with a IIDX stand

>>11867399
>>>/v/

Bump

Where is a good place to buy an IIDX controller online?

>>11872273
I've searched and searched and the only way to get a controller now would to be get a DJ DAO or lurk ebay and craigslist for awhile.

how does one acquire tricoro?

How good at beamani do you have to get an sows account?

You'll never be as good as this guy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17std-4pKGA

Yellow phase on psun is live, but I don't have the data or a sows account.

eh I've only ever tried osu

>>11874661
>yellow phase is live

W-W-WHAT???

OHHH MY GOD SEE YOU GUYS LATER <3~

is sega being a bitch?

A shit!

how do i get into iidx on pc

http://pastebin.com/97ie1u0E

>>11868477
tfw you're german and your stupid country laws make it unprofitable to run an actual arcade so there are literally NO arcades ANYWHERE.
First Bemani arcade around here is 200 kilometers across the border in Belgium.
Now for the prize question: Is it worth it?

>>11875110

this is out-of-date and will not work. Tricoro on psun now requires a unique pcbid in the ea3-config file obtained from having an operator account on programmedsun.

The only way you'd be able to play is setting <pcbevent> to 0 and playing completely offline (no scores, unlock songs, etc). I even tried this once, but I still got an eamuse check fail.

I recommend finding a lincle/resortanthem hdd and putting in full unlock dlls (18 and 19 do not require eamuse).

or, keep in mind that invites have opened up and it's easier than ever to get sows! go to cons and ask around, we've gotten nicer as a whole since aubrey got banned.

>>11876882
Hell, even just hang around IRC a bit and prove you aren't gonna download all the AC data right away.

>>11876883

yeah, the irc is easy to hunt down and is more hospitable as of late. If you can speak english and aren't in korea/japan you're already above thousands of other idiots.

tricoro yellow!
Time to beat up alien bosses.

>>11876888
Are Korea and Japan completely off limits? I just saw a Japanese IP on a sows torrent the other day.
Also, what happens if you move/go on a trip there? Are you automatically bant from sows and psun?

>>11876966
sows is a private tracker/community while PSun just provides an e-Amusement server for home use only. People living in Japan or are from Japan can still be a part of the community.

>Are you automatically bant from sows and psun?
No, there are some exceptions of course, but as for now they are GeoIP blocked. With the lock down in effect, it will cut down some public discussion in JP/KR communities.

>>11876995
They're not. Been on sows for over 8 years, been travelling often to japan in the past 5 years and never had any issue accessing the site. My last trip was a month ago and could post and download just fine, with different JP IP address (my JP carrier LTE and my home Wi-fi).

>>11875438
They closed Japan Arcade in Little Tokyo here in Los Angeles. A bookstore a while back I wanted to use when learning Japanese.

I want in sows but I don't want to have to work for an invitation
guess I'll just go back to playing Lunatic Rave

Sound Voltex is the funnest rhythm game I have ever played.

Does /jp/ like Prim?

>>11878873
Some of the songs are good, but I don't like everything.

>>11872273
eBay if you're looking for just a standard PS2 one. Dunno if you're just starting out or looking for a more fancy arcade style one.

>>11877639
Hi Brian

>>11875110
Thank god they took my Steam name out of this one.
20 friend invites after a week of not being on Steam wasn't fun.

>>11881098
Controller or dual mice?

>>11881182
PS3 Controller, the bind still sucks so I still can't AA it...

just got the game 2 days ago though... so yeah it's easy...

Playing DJMAX Ray is fun, but it feels like I'm eating table scraps. US Technika Q iTunes store release fucking never ;_;

>>11886416
I thought it died because it devolved into autists accusing other autists of fucking with timing windows for scores and devolved into jackhammering and hoping you don't get carpal tunnel.

>>11886458
Technika Q isn't that great either.

>>11886460
As someone who liked Technika Tune, would it be passable?

>>11886465
I guess, main problem I've seen people have is with the charts and the fact that it's still 3 lanes.

>>11886478
I've played Pump it Up, DDR Supernova, and 8th Style. I'm pretty accustomed to bad/awkward charts.

No 4 lane is pretty dumb, but I don't have an iPad so it's not a deal breaker for me, not like the deal can ever be propositioned since the team behind Q is essentially dead because DJMax is most likely going to be dead by June entirely.

>>11886491
Pretty sure there's a way to play the korean version right now if you have an android device.

>>11886491
DJMAX just acquired a new team from what I've heard on their fagbook.

>>11884768
I'll do you one better: I still play and write with DWI.

>>11866943
>the Bemani crowd tend to be elitist and
exclusive
I've noticed this is true especially for the IIDX crowd. Why is that? I guess I'd be an exception then.

>>11886565

the core bemani community is mostly idiots or legitimate psychopaths. Sometime's it's got more drama than the Melee crew. Sows is trying to crack down on this, but it's too little too late. BMS is gone and eddie sold all of his machines. To top it off, sherlok has no idea how to manage a community and will behave like a child if criticized. You're better off finding some irl people that play. The online communities are pretty much over

shoutouts to svgl

>>11888920
At least mouseish is sane

R-right? ;_;

This is for sale locally for only $20. Is this what I'm after if looking to start playing IIDX?

>>11888947
no

>>11888920
Do you think the games attract these kind of people? I don't think this has happened with other game series like the DJ MAX, ez2dancer or Pump It Up series.

>>11888947
That would only work if you wanted to play stuff in 5key, which no one really does.

>>11889008
>>11888952
Oh, I see. 7k is the norm, right?

>>11889014
Yeah, it has been for quite a while now.

>>11889014
Although, for $20 I would still get that controller.

>>11889015
I see. Thank you.

>>11889019
Would it be worth starting by playing 5k on this while I look for a 7k?
I've read that people do not recommend starting lower and working up.

>>11889033
Not really. 5k skill doesn't transfer to 7k. It would only help slightly in reading if you're a complete beginner. The jump between 5k to 7k is like playing a completely different game. I also wouldn't recommend playing 5k to help you improve your 7k skills.

>>11888947
they sold it for $5 in Japan

I've been dicking with LDJ for a while but can't seem to get the network to work right (error in NETWORK on boot sequence). I've tried
<services>http://svc.programmedsun.com/core/services<services>

as recommended on PSun and

<services>http://xrpc.programmedsun.com</services>

as recommended on the pastebin but without luck. Any ideas?

>>11889208
You need a PCBID.

>>11889210

Huh I see. Thanks for the clue. I'll look into that.

>>11889218
If you don't have one you can set it up to play offline(I don't recall what you have to change), but it won't save your scores and stuff like that.

>>11889223

Aha, after doing a little poking around I mostly see how this crap works. Tried setting pcbevent to 0 to play offline, but to no avail. I guess I'll idle in the IRC til I get an invite or something. It sucks the Bemani scene has to be so hard-assed and retarded about everything. But I guess it's the only way not to get shut down? Anyway thanks again for your help.

>>11889008
I dunno why. Some of the 5key stuff is the shit. Especially from The Final or III.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul4SMJop0Nc

>>11888973
Probably. I know back in 2003 when I got into IIDX it was the DDR crew that were holy shit elitist and IIDX/Popn were pretty chill. Took about three years or so for the former to die and the latter to get infested with retards.

I still remember that thread about a IIDX moneymatch that descended into fight club shit.

Never paid any attention to sows. What have they done that's registered on the fucktard scale?

>>11889264

make sure all network devices are off close torrent programs and so on.

>>11889407
I'm still leaning towards buying one. My only experience in reading is from Taiko which is alot different as you probably well know. I suppose $20 is simply that and no great loss is made if I do purchase it.

>>11889264

the psun forums (once you register and login) had a thread where you can request access to PCBID accounts. It's primarily a "I don't live in SE asia" test. I'm not 100% sure if it's still there, but it's still something worth looking into

>>11889264
Press the test button, then enter game mode.

What the fuck happened to tricoro.net? That's my go-to site for LR2 and various downloads.

>>11889264
Post on the programmed sun forum >>11889906 as suggested. It really is that easy. I have no connections in the bemani scene, am socially retarded, and I was able to get a a PCBID just by making a post

>>11890569
I don't know, but I was able to dig up two links which were in that one thread with the 1-20th style lr2 files

Thank you DJDao ;_;

>>11891044
Their customer service is very lovely.

Or maybe it's just the engrish that makes it feel so much more sincere.

Is there anywhere left on the internet where I can get a PS2 to Parallel adapter? or am I gonna have to build one

>>11891044
>>11891069
Are the controllers worth buying?
I have no experience with the game and am looking to buy my first controller, but $200+ is a substantial amount of money.

>>11891111
If you really like the game then yes. DJDAO controllers are also the best.

The game is difficult to pick up and has a high learning curve with high skill ceiling. IIDX is a high maintenance music game that requires practice.

I would recommend trying the game at a local arcade if you can or even try using a keyboard. If you're familiar with other note based rhythm games, you'll definitely enjoy IIDX.

I've been downloading Lincle for a whole month now, holy shit.

>>11891122
I see. Thanks then. I'm OP, actually, but I don't think the arcade has it operating yet. I'm purchasing a second hand officially made controller soon, though.

Last thread, a guy posted a photograph of his Youmu themed custom controller. Do DJDAO do those?

>>11891130
He doesn't. DJDAO only does IIDX-themed colors based on CS games. I would also recommend buying sanwas and omrons with your controller if you can.

I personally bought a DJDAO controller 2 years ago and now IIDX is the only game I play.

>>11891126
Holy crap, where do you live?
I downloaded it in like 3 hours.

>>11891159
That's great. I appreciate your help; thank you.

>>11891130
if you getting 2nd hand, make sure it's ASC or DJDao
Never grab Desktop Arcade or KOC Japan, KOC US is still a good choice but I doubt you can learn difficult music using KOC.

I really recommend getting DJDao, FPS is the cheapest and the best you can get for a Custom Made controller, extra dough should getting you to Real Edition, you can never go wrong with Real Edition.

>>11891159
Not that guy, but I'm considering gettting a DAO and I was wondering about the Sanwas. Is there much difference between those and the stock DAO buttons? I've read that the Sanwas have a louder click noise or whatever sound they make, but if that's all then I think I can live without them.

>>11891126
Are you downloading from Baidu? Those 56k speeds are horrific.

>>11866465
Any recommended makes when buying a dance pad? I don't live close enough to an arcade to use an official machine.

>>11891205
It's the feel, as in the feedback when pushed down and the bounce combined with click noise. They feel a bit more mushy but they're ok if you want to go dao buttons. Sanwas just feel perfect.

What are some other rhythm games besides Osu! that I can play on the PC without having to buy expensive controllers/equipment?

I keep getting error 5-2000-0000 in Tricoro now after not playing it for about a month. What gives? I didn't change any of the settings as far as I can remember

>>11891274
Do you have any other networks adapters other than the one you use to connect to the internet enabled?

please im getting really fucking assmad about not having yellow phase data for tricoro

>>11888920

Sows is dying because of their extreme policies when its comes to torrents. All games are over seeded a gazillions times so a new user has to wait about 6 weeks to build up enough bonus points to download any game data. People would rather hit and run than wait and I cant blame them.

Also you have the extreme crazies you mention who want to keep it a super secret club and go on crusades against anyone they suspect is a leecher, making a fool of themselves when they are proven wrong.

All you have left is a small group of idiots with their stupid injokes desperately trying to hang on to the sinking ship while being actively hostile to anyone from the outside.

>>11893543
This. I've had an account for years and I've rarely used it only to download some Bemani music CDs. Downloading an HDD rapes your ratio and you won't get it back unless you upload lots of shit or donate. I still have all the HDDs from Troopers until Tricoro thanks to real life connections and I wouldn't touch sows for it. I would probably upload one but my 512Kbps upload wouldn't help.

Having a seedbox for sows is pretty damn handy. I've got one and I'm paying about $6 a month for it!
Best thing to do for a newbie is to instantly download and seed the Freeleech stuff. Then do the "Save The World" thingy daily.

Like many people have already said, I've got an invite but I can't trust any of you with it. Sorry guys!

>>11893691
I just leave my PC on all the time, I've never had any problems seeding anything on the multiple private trackers I'm on.

>>11893691
The issue with private trackers is, for me, that I live in a country where bandwidth is still a thing.

>>11893697
Or this. Then again, I don't want to rack up a huge electricity bill

>>11893691

This is the problem for new users since everything is extremely over seeded and regular users are competing with seed boxers they will only ever be able to upload a tiny fraction.

They need to double or quadruple the bonus point system. Bonus points is 24/7 seeding for six week for 10GB. Allow many more users in and promote the uploading and seeding of a diversity of non game content like soundtracks since there is no reason to come back once you have data.

Clean up the shit hole of the forums and help promote bemani to new players,

>>11893380
I know how you feel. It took me forever to find the yellow data. I'm uploading it right now. Leave an email. I won't post the link here because free users only have 10GB bandwidth.

>>11893730
>They need to double or quadruple the bonus point system. Bonus points is 24/7 seeding for six week for 10GB.

I agree with you there. The bonus point system is pretty bad at this time especially with new users.

If I remember, I'll drop a few invite during the Christmas period since you can't really fuck up unless you leech everything after Christmas and then fuck off.

>>11891044

whats the difference between gamo2 and djdaojp shop, is it the same producer?

>>11893708
I pay $60 a month, I also have a dehumidifier running all the time, too.

This might seem like a dumb question, but how can I select a single song to play for LR2? I only seem to be able to select sets of 3, and I can't choose my own of them.

>>11893708
It costs more electricity to boot up your computer every day than have it running in standby mode.

>>11893543
But it's easy to maintain a ratio and get ratio. A new user can just upload any random j-core album in flac and get ratio. There's also the opportunity of grabbing torrents before it reaches hundreds of seeders.

>>11893759
yes, they change their website name to gamo2

You don't need a sows account for anything general. HDD and append can be found elsewhere without absurd ratio killing. PSUN isn't hard at all to get a PCBID from. The only thing that's going to hold you back is the cost of a controller.

>>11893875
What about if Spada HDD ever comes out

>>11893898
Won't happen until the next IIDX is out.

>>11893898
Every HDD eventually makes its way out. It's happened for every one for a long time. Still, there's no need to upgrade so soon, when the download will likely be 40GB

>>11893822
You need to keep the computer awake to seed shit. The network interface turns off when you suspend it.

New Pop'n soon.

>>11893898
DJHackers will usually have each IIDX release out 6 months after their initial release in Japan. Going by that rule, SPADA will be out sometime in May

http://p.eagate.573.jp/game/bemani/p/special/jaepo2014/jaepo_popn.html

>>11892737
good gibe me

>>11893903
Well, it's 6GB if you already have tricoro, which you should.
tricoro, SDVX and Sunny Park can already be found outside of Sows, so grab them, and when the future updates come along you only need to download <5GB of data per game or something.

I've basically been playing lr2 and only songs from something called "best of fighters"
Does this make me a super pleb?

>>11893808
In the main menu go into songs instead of courses or whatever you're clicking on.

fuck off.

I've been downloading the Lincle HDD from some non-sows place
It's taken a week to get at 80% and now there's no seeders
please kill me

I am interested in getting into IIDX and/or LR2. Is it possible to play on a 8 button arcade stick? I'm too poor to invest in a proper controller.

>>11895126
>Lincle
Why. You would have had luck when it came out. Just wait it out, it'll eventually finish

>>11895130
It should be but depending on the layout, it would probably be a bit of a bitch to play with

>>11895126
Just grab Tricoro instead.
Here's a guide http://pastebin.com/97ie1u0E

>>11895172
isnt this guide outdated?

>>11895424
It is, but the data is still the same. With enough searching and common sense the data is still usable with PSun.

>>11895424
The torrent is still good, just go on the psun forums for the new settings guide.

plz giv sows inv

How is that even possible?
I play since this summer and i still can't pass 7s

>>11895710
Maybe he has prior experience with rhythm games? I have prior experiences and yesterday I tried a flash game I think of that game, and went from 2 to 3 and 4 in less than an hour, but I'm not sure if it's difficulty is the same as the original game. That said, playing on a laptop keyboard is different from the real thing, so it could be easier or harder.

plaaace youur bets

>>11896195
Worst song. Worst chart.

>>11896200
>Worst song.
How does it feel to have shit taste?

>>11895710
>>11895885
when I started IIDX, I was also playing FFR, DDR, and Pump, so rhythm games were nothing new

I might have exaggerated my progress because it was a long time ago, but I do remember progressing very quickly with daily practice. It's nowhere near as difficult as playing a real instrument.

the main point I meant was that the spacing between levels isn't really balanced. The difference between a 7 and a 8 is absolutely nothing compared to 10 and 11.

Learning to do spins on heavy/expert DDR songs is one of the most fun things I've taken on in a really long time.
On a separate note, anyone in the Phoenix, Arizona area? I'm always looking for people to go to Gameworks with to play... Always doubtful, but you never know.

But now I can focus myself to PIU, which is nice.

If anyone wants an invite to sows, you should check PSun forums.

I'm really bad at jacks.

I got this in the mail today.
I don't have a converter to test it, though, and my Playstation is in the attic.

This is probably a huge stretch but I'll try to ask this here:

I'm going to Osaka this coming week, and kinda planned to play some Bemani games since we don't have a lot of those in my country (except maybe DDR).
Does most arcades there have Bemani games like Jubeat or Sound Voltex? Tried to check zenius but most of the info there is out of date.

>>11866716
Vita version won't be out until next month, and is the superior choice due to the input lag from PS3 controllers. It's also really nice to have it portable.
I have the English PS3 version and the imported Vita version and the difference is surprisingly big on faster Extreme maps.

>>11905359
Most likely. jubeat and SDVX are both really popular and I wouldn't be surprised if they have more than 2 cabs lined up next to each other.

>>11905359

I went through most of namba/denden last year and my favorite bemani spot was here
http://www.taito.com/gc/map/nanba.html

>>11907094
That place is near nipponbasshi right? Was planning to go there.

>>11904625
lol 5 key good luck mate

I downloaded the tricoro HDD but it's not working properly. When I start it up, it goes fullscreen for a bit, but then i just get this.

It seems to respond if I hit certain keys, but there's still no actual video.

>>11908346
Disable desktop composition on launcher.exe.

>>11907755
It was the only one I could find. 7 key ones on eBay are in the range of $90, this one was $20.

>>11908416
That fixed the issue, but now I have a new problem. During the boot process, it gets an error under network and says this.
I've gone into test mode and run the network check and it reports things being okay.

Do you have a PCBID?
If not then go to the ProgrammedSun forums and get one there.

Anyone have that SPADA rip that's floating around?

Yeah, but fuck the rules it's out there and I want it.

>>11908663
What's up with that

How do I get the cardfile for webui to work, +, =, and backspace never works in game for eAmuse.

>>11908666
Too early maybe.

i'll sell my djdao fps and buy a real edition once i start clearing level 10 songs
watch ebay
some day it will happen

>>11909279
What's the difference?

>>11909338
The real edition is an arcade replica. I probably won't get the real edition because its probably way too much money. What I really want is to upgrade my buttons to sanwas and omrons. They try to fuck you if you want to upgrade just the buttons so it might be wiser for me to buy a slightly better model with the buttons I want.

>>11909603
I'm tempted to get a RE because it looks cool as fuck but it's an old model and likely didn't go through the 2012 fixes like the FP7.

>>11909622
By the time I'm good enough to justify upgrading a new model will be out

S-So how do I get a PSun invite? ;_;

Just started playing LR2 on a keyboard. I found a good layout and set up custom folders for BPM and note counts, which helps a lot with finding stuff I can play. I'm still only in the range of 3's to 4's. Hoping to get good before I look into a buying a controller or finding an arcade. Any protips for making LR2 crash less?

>Sweden will never have arcades

Ugh I can't get any of these games to work.. I keep getting a router error for iidx games that says 5-2000-0000 and i know i followed all the steps but people keep mentioning com0com, what is that? I'm not very good with computers.

>>11912391

can someone help with yellow data? i can help with psun pcbid invites

>>11912763

I'd appreciate a PCBID

I use a controller and play standard 1 player I think. Turn table on the left.

I've been trying to start using my right pinky finger to hit the bottom right button but its killing my wrist and forearm for some reason. I'm really tall and have gigantic hands. Maybe I should just give up using my pinky and go back to using my ring finger for it.

Someone kiss my arm and make it feel better.

>>11908367
That is just incredible.

Umm^^

>>11913667
It's not a bad idea, but I don't recommend it because it'll throw you off if you ever have to play with turntable on the right.

>>11913667
kiss
Do you play at the arcade or something? I think it depends at the angle of your arm. I only play at home sitting down so my arms are parallel to the panel. It makes my ring finger bend at a weird angle when I hit the 7 key, but using my pinky feels pretty comfortable

Man, why do all these rhythm games use buttons that are 25 bucks a piece? I'd like to build my own controller for something like pop'n, but I'm better off doing something like this stupid shit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYQ3KaB6fc8)) instead of paying the hundreds of dollars an arcade official pad would cost.

>>11913941
Yeah I need to set something better up. The ergonomics are really bad right now, I have my djdao sitting on a coffee table and I'm all hunched over.
I need to do that and learn how to install a big boy version of the game and stop playing LR2... all these things to do.

>>11912400
I did and I still have the same error, i really did follow everything perfectly, pcbid and all. is it because I have windows 8 or something? I read it should work fine on it..

Has anyone gotten 10th style to work? I've tried multiple cracks but i keep on getting a SID error.

>>11915994
Check for hidden adapters.

Is there any way around this e-amusement shit for Tricoro? I really don't care about psun or online features, I just want to play the damn game.

>>11915994

go to Device Manager
View -> Show Hidden Devices

I had about 10 I've never seen before. Once I disabled them all tricoro worked fine (after running gamestart.bat as admin).

>>11917134
Yeah, if you go into prop\ea3-config and change pcbevent to 0 it should let you I think

I downloaded Lincle a little more than a week ago, but I'm too picky with the songs. Recommend me a few nice lvl 5-6 songs /jp/!
My favorites right now is mermaid girl and some other eurodance songs.

>>11919865
Just play through them all?

>>11919865
突撃！ガラスのニーソ姫！

/v/ here just got an american beatmania controller and lunatic rave 2 today to practice on until i start fishing for sow invites

started playing IIDX gold because that was the easiest to find but i have everything before tricoro downloading right now so far i like it allot its pretty tough though coming from a mediocre at best ddr player

is there a style with any familiar sounding stuff? ive played through max2 through X and some of the recent ddr songs

>>11920082
That's fucking cute dude, but I can't find it anywhere. Maybe I have to unlock it first? I'm new at this.

>>11911808
Why are there no arcades anyway, laws making it unprofitable? something else? I don't know myself.

Are desktop arcade Pop'n controllers worth it? I'd rather not shell out 60$ for a tiny one on ebay.

this is me playing MAX 300 double in expert difficult in a DDR SuperNova arcade in Mexico

>B
I've honestly forgotten that there are grades lower than AA.

>>11920142
>DDR
I used to play PIU at decent level. I can't go back to that now, because I have really shitty stamina, and getting enough stamina to play at that level would require MONTHS of cardio training.

How do I play any of this without an arcade nearby, on my PC? How?

>>11920173
Using the internet.

>>11920092
Probably 9th style or lower. You'll find a lot of old DDR songs.

>>11920092
DDR music really doesn't hold a candle to IIDX

if you like Xephyr (which was humorously given to me as a counterexample to the above) it was in Happy Sky, which is my favorite style as far as music goes.

as a music snob, I wouldn't say iidx music as a whole is good, but it's pretty varied, and you're bound to find a few songs you'll really like

>>11920126

>Desktop Arcade

I've heard bad experiences with how long it takes people to get their stuff. Someone was waiting 6 months for a IIDX controller.

A friend of mine gave me the tricoro data a while back; it works fine running as admin on W7 in XP3 compat mode *except* for the minor detail that no input works, whether I try to map USB devices or just from my keyboard. I've googled around but haven't seen anyone complaining about this particular issue. I was really hype to play after MAGfest, but then I got really busy and haven't had time to mess around with it. Just another example of Bemani making me sad. THANKS KONAMI

I've played bemani since ddr 3rd mix cs and 2DX 5th style cs. Used to go to eddie's site when it was drop0ut and shit. Community was pretty cool back in the day. I remember this tourney was the shit.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajdkMGqzgxw

I hardly play bemani like I used to though. But back in the day I would help somebody find games and shit if they were looking. Anyway I ran into a few of those sows faggots at a con. I remember people used to share shit and be cool but they acted like it was some super secret club.

Anyway OP get into 2dx. It's the best rhythm game there is...also ddr and pop'n.

>>11920521
No.

>>11921173
No.

>>11921173
Not at all. osu mania is so fucked up. Major difference is the frightening amount of hold notes. Anyways, some of the bms coversions are okay, but at that point just play LR2

My favorite song that everyone hates

livin' the dream

I'm so happy, my arcade down the street just got IIDX 21 Spada. It's so freaking shiny, and they also have pop'n sunny park so I can just bounce between them when they get full.

>>11866313
With the older machines, if you get an account and start playing step-up it will keep you in lower brackets for a while. Step up can be a good way to play different difficulties of songs without having to worry about failing out and you should take advantage of it.

Also for anyone who buys an E-Amusement card and has no idea what the fuck to do:

>my arcade down the street just got IIDX 21 Spada
What the fucking shit, which country?

>>11922596
Austin TX, USA.

Arcade UFO, it's crazy. They got Tricoro a few months ago but it had some hardware glitches (screen flickered, sound would randomly boost, etc) so they downgraded to Lincle until they could get it all worked out. Now it has all new parts and Spada, pretty good deal. $1.50 a set though.

Drummania isn't very popular in this thread?

>>11874661
Do you want a sows invite?

>>11922620
They have one at my local arcade, but the only person I have ever seen playing it was a very sweaty, large 30-year old man. He had to stop and lean against something after he finished one song.

>>11922672
I do please, anon!
I have my email in the email field.

i just started playing IIDX to get into the scene at UFO will you guys laugh at me ;~;

the only thing funny about me is how bad I am at video games

If you work hard you will get good at it, dude! I spent more than two years playing Pump It Up so I could get to a 'decent' level.

>>11922795

I got a djdao and tricoro data about 6 months ago and I'm already clearing 11s

I gotta say it feel great to see yourself improving so much

I'm working on clearing 6s, downloaded it two weeks ago. I'm used to fast rhythm games, so for me is more about getting used to the keys, but I probably won't get past 8s before abandoning the game completely.

so I just got this for 50 bucks, and can't do shit to config this on PC

right yellow button is somewhat reacts to shut off the Y Axis of the controller instead of inputting a control...

people told me to just recalibrate the controller, but don't do shit to bemaniso config

help

>>11926819
Playstation pop'n games recognize the controller because it's always sending down, left and right as pressed. Right yellow is mapped to up, and the rest to the available buttons.

So first, you'd have to configure your adapter to read the D-pad as buttons instead of a POV hat.

>>11925299
Any tips? Or are you just playing an improving really fast? I started a little over a month ago and I've been stuck on 6s for a bit. I can pass a few easy 7s but that's about as far as I can get.

>>11926997
Not that dude but it is normal to slow down on the progress in games like this, he probably plays more often than you do. I play at most half an hour daily and I'm improving fast, but that's because I'm used to rhythm games.

Do we want another thread once this one falls off?

>>11926997
Work on your technique and use your thumbs if you aren't already.

>>11927036
Thanks. I've actually came across this video and switched to 1048 style a few days ago. My left hand feels a lot better, but I get lost sometimes when having to scratch + 3 or something like that. I guess that part just takes time.

>>11928004
I had the some problems with lincle too, I used the files that some anon posted in a pastebin and had to use only one screen so it could start.

>>11928027
>discussion has slowed down a lot.
Welcome to /jp/.

>>11928027
I tried 1048 and encountered the same problem. Either use your left hand thumb to hit 3, somehow stretch your pinky, or use your wrist to scratch.

>>11928004
just set the executable to run as administrator through compatibility options
otherwise edit your gamestart to have
cd "directory to game"
in the first line

How long does it take Dao to process orders?

I need a controller!
