When the new versions of the Real Edition came out.

So how the fuck do I get spada and infinite infection?

>>12571166

did rag get the door yet

>>12571166
Being part of the secret club is the easiest way to do so

>>12571334
Ah. That shouldn't be too hard.

so is the unlock for THE DOOR still unknown?

>>12571166
Suck major dick and get into the sekret klub

>>12571658
Well that wasn't too difficult?

Does anyone have basic measurements for real machines? I'm gonna build a space for IIDX and SDVX but I don't know how high the keys are from the ground, how high the monitor is, how far the monitor is from the keys, and how big the monitor is.

Obviously the measurements are probably different for each game, so I'm looking to make something that's close enough for everything.

>>12572022
i know that pop'n music buttons are roughly 3 feet from the ground, if that helps

>>12572022
Just measure where you want them to be and go from there. Or even better get an adjustable shelf for the controllers and monitor stand that can move (and rotate for SDVX). Don't forget a number pad too.

>>12572022
Floor -> Top of the IIDX deck is exactly 1 meter. From the bass stage, it's 90 cm. Monitor size in CRT cabs used to be 32'', nowadays it's 36''. Distance from monitor to keys is about 15cm, no idea about the height though.

>>12572352
>Distance from monitor to keys is about 15cm
That seems really fucking close. Is that to the top of the black keys or to the end of the table?

>>12571262
Dl pls

>>12572610
Uploaded!!

>>12572661
wow thanks anon

>>12573057
The cycle of sarcasm is now complete.

Someone should seed the nonsows spada torrent, I'm stuck at 87.2%

>>12572590
top of the black keys. All that's between them and the monitor is the thin instruction sheet and the metal FX plate. Mind you, the actual viewing distance is at least twice as big, since your eyes aren't usually directly above the keys.

>>12573164
I'm talking about horizontal distance btw ("top" of the black keys as in the edge that's furthest away from the player). No idea about the vertical distance.

basket-con feat. WOBBLE IMPACT

>>12573444
i can still clear some 44s and 45s though as long as i'm careful not to misfire the left yellow key.
I've learned that the table wobbles like crazy anyways tho. So I'll need a really sturdy stand(Initially I thought a X-shape keyboard stand would do but now i doubt it)
Any suggestions?

Rag pls stop playing CROSSxBEATS and go open the fucking door

>>12573513
rag will never stop, he wants them event songs, and he will do anything to get it.

On the topic of CROSSxBEATS, event started, YUKARI looks stupidly hard, and has highest amount of notes, barely passed on sight read.

>>12573444
lol, nice ghetto controller, from where did you bought the buttons and how much is it?

>>12573114
Nope.

>>12573444
reminded me of this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYQ3KaB6fc8

I love this fucking website.

Wow, they made a 1/12 Taiko model kit. Anyone have this thing?
Too bad there's not one for Pop'n or IIDX.

>>12575199
I don't get why everyone says the sows community is shit.
It's certainly better than a lot of other forums I've lurked on.

>>12575218
i'm not sure about 1/12 but they definitely do have figure sized model kits for pop'n and iidx

>>12575282

>>12575284

>>12575292

>>12575282
>>12575284
Damn. Looks like they're all 4 year old prizes. Any idea how I'd go about finding these things?

I'm not seeing any on mandarake and my moonrunes are too shit to look anywhere beyond there.

>>12575300
dumping more pics if anyone doesn't mind

>>12575344

>>12575334
Yahoo Auctions Japan are probably the only way to get them.

>>12575365
Well I'm not seeing any on yahoo auctions japan with "デスクトップアーケードコレクシヨン", but the pop'n ones and a couple others are on amazon JP for rape prices.

Guess I won't be getting any of them besides the Taiko kit.

>>12575334
>>12575365
>>12575428
I believe you can get the Taiko one on Amiami for about 3200 yen.

Can't wait for pendual's soundtrack to come out! I'm loving this stuff!

>>12576017
seriously. i got a chance to play pendual and now i'm fuckin mad that i live a shitload of hundreds of miles away from it

>>12576038
Just to clarify I haven't played pendual due to there being no IIDX cab's running it here but I have heard some of its music.

>>12576017
I just want to play the game, man. Next year can't come soon enough.

>>12576059
Agreed. I'm itching to play it myself. This is going to be a long wait.

give me ベィスドロップ・フリークス or give me death

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=790515369

Hopefully noone is going to swoop in and try and pinch this off me, but how much should I spend on this?

>>12574101
http://istmall.co.kr/shop/goods/goods_view.php?&goodsno=9992261
had to use a middle man, it was 1.4kg so ems was like 45 bucks lol, some would say not worth.
But these are used in the official korean cabinets(which i've tried for months) so I was sure that they'd do the job.
The sanwas are definitely superior in quality though, just five times the price.

Oh and 7800 won would be 8usd max
the fuck? it was 8500 won when i bought it goddamn

>>12576110
My local arcade has some 30-year old businessman who comes for IIDX nearly every weekend and plays this song in every. single. one. of his credits. He says his wife would kill him if she'd ever find out what he's doing.

...it's a weird world out there.

>>12571673
>Amazing blowjob technique

>>12578862
Well what else is there for a faggot to do?

2013

>>12579249
yep, finally

is 2013 leaked yet

>>12579268
Fuck no suck it up and stop being a faggot that end up with no more arcade data for everyone and go make some friends instead.

>>12579268
Wow, it got fucking posted minutes ago and you already are looking for a leak?

Do we have any information about DJMax Technika arcade leaks? Since the service is mostly discontinued I though we might have something... I know it's a korean series and service but still...

>>12579249
Holy fuck it took them long enough. This almost makes me want to buy a shitty soft pad to play it.

Are there any actual good pads for playing DDR at home? Like aside from buying a real machine or something.

>>12579249
time for ratio

i told you niggaz 2013 was coming soon

was straight from tau's mouth, and it did

>>12579282
cobalt flux if you can find one, crawl craigslist, iirc actual pads can be converted to simple usb for pc use

Yessss, wasn't invited before spada, so time for ratio

>>12579367
>$300

No thanks.

>>12579399
yeah, you arent going to find a hardpad for much less

>>12579268
Yes, but you have to post a timestamped picture of you for me to link it.

7 tries and still not open.
What's the point of an event that nobody can play

>>12573114
Where is it? I have one at 99.9% but I'm sure it isn't the same one, maybe the files are compatible and we could complement eachother..

>>12579806
Send me the torrent, I can seed for you. I got sows data.

>>12579897
I'm not him, but I'm at 80.6% for this torrent. Sows is one of the trackers, pic related, so be cautious.

puu () sh \ c8Fci \ d5206bd805.torrent

>>12580098
I forgot to mention, this is from a magnet link. I cant remember where I got it from, so this is just from my utorrent hidden folder.

>>12580098
>>12580103
I'm the one with 99.9%, I just added a tracker from that list and I'll be seeding it until I get a 2+ ratio, also I now have 100%. My upload isn't that good though.

>>12580098
Can't add it to rtorrent for some reason. Get me a magnet link if you can find it.

>>12580136
I'd can't see you, just these.

>>12580143
I'll have a throughough look in a few minutes, I'm cleaning my desk at present.

>>12580157
I can see them too. I guess I'll add all of the trackers.

I have a feeling I got it from Tokyo Toshokan, but searching for LDJ as of right now just yields a single JAV torrent; 2 weeks ago it came up with two torrents, Spada and the JAV.

Searching for results from the past month using the game version code, 'spada pastebin' and 'iidx pastebin' just give the Tricoro non-sows guide and a chatlog featuring xBEMANIxGIRLx. I did manage to find a page on Bloglovin which had this link, and the size of the torrent matches up; 37.4gb, but the site hosting the .torrent is down for maintenance, so I'm not sure. I'm trying to find a way to view past magnet links that I've input to utorrent, but I can't see anything about this.

Also, give this torrent (puush link) a go. I believe it's exactly the same, but I had 3 ones with the same name downloaded on different dates, so it might work. I put them in a separate pastebin because system thinks it's spam.

http://pastebin.com/CHkvgTFD

>>12580265
Give me the trackers list for the torrent you're DLing and I'll add them.

is DJMax Technika Q the game I should play if I want to level up from Cytus ?

>>12580284
If you're dead set on touch screen games yeah.

Also get deemo. It's really casual, but it's fun as fuck.

>>12580284
If you have a PSVita go for Technika Tune, it's the best technika experience out there if you don't live near an arcade.

Cell phones and tablet screens usually have a considerable delay time and it will fuck your gameplay up in higher levels.

Either I just suck at iidx or there's a huge fucking wall around level 6 or 7.

I got up to shodan within my first week of playing, but since then I've been stuck on 6s and 7s for over 2 weeks now and I don't feel like I'm making any progress at all.

>>12580695
i don't remember what it was like to have trouble with 6s but there's a bigger wall between 7 and 8
and an even bigger one between 8 and 9, and an even bigger one between 9 and 10...

>>12580695
>over 2 weeks now
Try getting stuck in there for 2 months. That's what I did until I learned to use the rest of my fingers anyway.

Horo is an annoying fucker on Sows and an even more annoying faggot on his stream.

>>12581277
I'll be stuck here for at least that long at this rate. Still having fun with it even though I suck.

I use my right thumb just fine, but I just can't get my left thumb to do what I want so I've been playing with ring on 1. That's probably part of the reason I suck so much at scratching, which is definitely my biggest problem right now.

>>12581295
Would you expect anything less from an osufag?

>>12581295
why do you say that anon?, i watch his stream sometimes and i don't think he is a bad guy, and no, i'm not from sows.

>>12581336
Then don't use the scratching. There is no point to it unless you plan on playing on the original or buying the controller.

>>12581631
I'm stuck at 6 and having trouble scratching too. I have an FP7

>>12581744
I'd suggest you trying different ways of using your fingers, including one handed with the 7 switches and the scratching with the other hand. Of course you will have to go down a few levels when using only one hand.
I'm not expert though but that made me get used to the keys and get faster with my fingers.

>>12581830
I'll give it a go; I have a tendancy to not play as though I'm using a keyboard where I will rest my fingers on keys where I'm not doing anything, rather holding my hands above the buttons when not doing anything. I think part of the issue is not being able to quickly enough press x buttons with my hands while also scratching without pre-assigning fingers to buttons like most people do. I would be keen to try 1/7 though, it seems interesting and challenging.

>>12581336
>but I just can't get my left thumb to do what I want so I've been playing with ring on 1. That's probably part of the reason I suck so much at scratching,
i was doing this for a good month and a half and started brute forcing 7s like that and just it was starting to become unfun because scratching was an absolute nightmare

i ended up practicing and getting comfortable with taka.s (thumb on 1 index on 2 then both thumbs do double duty to handle 3 depending on the situation) which actually kind of launched me into 8s. i'd recommend it, it always leaves you in a good position to scratch properly, and is a good workout for your thumbs. you'll probably want to explore other techniques before too long though

I can't remember how to open the options menu on tricoro
Is it start + select?

yes except there is no select, there is effect and VEFX, both of which will change what options you are looking at

I went to the arcade today.

OMES. It wasn't even on the Dynamite Rave jumpstep, just some random easy note late in the song. Oh well.

>>12582455
And then I did some other things.

>>12582470
LSV is BS to AAA

>>12582527
The few measures where the music gets really quiet were easily the hardest. I just had to play a little earlier than I expected and managed to get through this time without Greats.

The whole song is straightforward 8ths. Once it's within your comfort zone speed-wise, none of the double steps or jumpsteps are a problem. Fun chart.

How long should someone be playing before considering a Dao? Been thinking of picking up an fp7.

Also how much of a difference do the sanwas really make? An extra $100 just for buttons seems really steep.

>>12582823
just as long as you're sure you really like iidx and think it'll be a good investment
the sanwa buttons aren't really that important, it's fine to get dao buttons and get sanwas from rakuten for way cheaper later if you find yourself wanting them
it's very very important to get omron microswitches instead of the honeywells though

>>12583016
amazing

>>12583016
I need more pictures of this cab. And its location if I ever find myself heading out for Japan.

>>12583215
taito game station akihabara

>>12583231
oh wait no that ones slightly different

http://2dera.net/iidx_map/view_pict.php?shop_id=118

same shit tho, but it might have been recently changed to the tricoro bosses

>>12583235
Thanks!

why the fuck don't dao's controllers have a vefx button? how hard would it be to add one myself?

>>12583231
its an awful feeling when i was there in mid 2012 and only started playing iidx this year

Guide to sows invites:
1. go to IRC
2. hang out in IRC
3. make friends in IRC
4. maybe eventually one might invite you
5. maybe eventually DOES NOT MEAN TOMORROW

>>12583735
>make friends
That's my greatest weakness.

>>12583742
Plebian.

>>12583735
If anyone here plays VNs, ask moogy. He doesn't play rhythm games anymore and could maybe invite you. (probably not if you're EOP filth)

>>12582551
I actually like double/jumpstepping. I think I have one or 2 on LSV.
>>12582455
On that note, I did AAA this some time back when I used to play.

Too bad there's no decent machine nearby or I'd start posting scores too... Portland Oregon has no working Bemani anymore. Ground Kontrol is a fucking hipsterhole with a fucking LCD screen (lmfao) on their EX, and the nearest machine that is functional is in Hillburrito. Ugh.

>>12583934
There aren't really any good machines where I live either (one good one is about an hour away, but it's noisy and full of kids all the time). However, some hole in the wall "arcade lounge" opened up earlier this year that's much closer, and that has encouraged me to get back into it. The owner is just some dork that likes playing video games, and he doesn't care about money really. They're all really cool, and they let me take apart and fiddle with the pads to my liking. It's dark, quiet, and I get to adjust the volume and other game settings all I want. I've been playing DDR for over 10 years and never really went beyond SDGing things, but now I'm getting a handful of new AAAs every week.

>>12579410
Yeah there are literally no hardpads at this point that you can buy new. Thinking about commissioning someone to buy one or building one myself if the former proves harder.

>>12583976
Where do you live if you mind my asking? That sounds like a super chill place. You're really fortunate. I've been playing since late 2002 and I haven't really played since 2006. I played for about a month this year but the pads were just too bad...

can one of you fags stream some pop'n?

>>12584203
>Where do you live if you mind my asking?
Northern Colorado. There used to be a decently sized DDR scene here for some reason, with regular tournaments and such, but I don't know if anyone really plays anymore.

>bowling alley has ddr cab
>use it all the time
>never ever seen anyone but myself using it
>decide to do an experiment
>put 2 credits in it before i leave
>come back 3 days later
>they're still there
>not even a little kid came by to play it
>ddr is dead
a-at least i didn't waste one dollar worth of credits

>>12584408
ddr is shit, that's why

>>12584408
Stop playing it for a couple weeks and then ask if you can buy it from them

>>12584421
i'd be totally willing to do that but i have no idea how much they'd ask for it, i really wouldn't want to pay more than 600 dollars max since it's an ancient cabinet and in a pretty bad state of disrepair (even has duct tape on the bar lmao) plus i wouldn't know who to ask about it and how likely it is that they wouldn't sell it and i'd just embarrass myself by asking...

>>12584408
Who are you quoting?

>>12584470
himself

I just set up and entire voice controlled BemaniPC with an old phone.
>Say open + game name and it automatically opens, the opposite to close it.
I might write up a guide or something on how to do it.

>>12584532

>>12585050
um...

you aren't osumania here?

anyone here use lift? i just tried it for the first time and i think i can time better with it on.

How do some members on sows manage to download stuff without it adding to their ratio? I've seen quite a few people do this where it doesn't add up

I'm playing 6s on iidx presently and clearing probably 3/5 of the ones that I play. and am going to try to play more often than I have been. The thing is I don't have any 5s FCd; the closest I have is S!ck with 2 misses.

Should I keep playing 6s then move onto 7s when I feel I'm ready, aim to FC some 5s, or just keep playing 6s until I can FC some of them then move onto 7s?
Most of my favorite songs are clustered around the 7-8 difficulty.

>>12585081
Either they've gotten it from elsewhere or freeleech.

>>12584459
If you have the room for it at home definitely go for it. What do you have to loose? You'd be surprised at how easy it is to get this info.

Start by asking any employee there. They might be able to tell you if it's owned by the bowling alley or if it's rented or refer you to the owner of the place. This is exactly how I got my ITG2 cabinet. I ended up paying 2500 for mine, it needed some new pad sensors and a good cleaning but was otherwise in decent shape. I'm not 100% sure how much an older DDR machine goes for or what shape it's in but I think you can probably get it for under 1k.

>>12584418
Fuck off back to Osu or SM you fucking fag

>>12585099

There's no reason to waste time replaying easy songs when you're this early in your progression. Just keep moving up. FCing and AAAing will come naturally as long as you improve your base skillset.

>>12584389
Yeah I have no clue what the scene looks like out there. I played in Montana, Wyoming and Seattle (Seattle Center), Fukushima Japan (Jusco Disney Rave and 5th Mix ftw) on and off but never made it out there. I miss the traveling aspect of tournaments but I'm glad I'm settled down now. We used to have a good scene in Oregon but things really died down when the last public ITG2 was bought by a private owner. Extremes slowly started disappearing, then the final nail in the coffin (Supernova) came. ITG really seems to have been the factor that splintered the community nationwide though.

>>12585154
Cool, thank you. Do you know if Spada has 8 bit princess, or do I have to download an update later or something?

>>12585037
yes

>>12585133
keep being gay pretending to be a penguin

Does anyone know how to get SPADA non-sows? I already have a pcbid from PSun but cant really use it unless I have game files. Same goes for SDVX, which apparently nobody is talking about in this thread. Weird

Not sure how to use the links posted by >>12580265 either.

oh man osu vs iidx go

>>12585516
really hope that ends up being true. i can't wait to whoosh for real.

this upside down iidx controller and 2 mice setup just doesn't cut it.

rip SDVX2 final

Please read Tau's announcement from last night.

>>12585689
You meant the
>Rule #1: Do not run this in public.
>Rule #2: Do not run this in public.
>Rule #3: Use your judgement when posting about this on public websites.
>Rule #4: Use your judgement when giving this data to other people. Do not post it anywhere public.

uh, what happened?

Did someone stream?

Downloading HDD data rapes my ratio completely in sows, is there a way to get notified if freeleech has been activated?

>>12585721
total freeleeches are announced in red

>>12585721
Just don't miss major releases, and DL them instantly. Alternatively you could upload a bunch of doujin bemani related music like I did and seed freeleeches. Got me 25GB in one week.

>>12585239

It's in the Tricoro folder.

>>12585689
i'm surprised it took so long for this announcement to be made
don't know why one wasn't made after some speedrunner streamed SDVX2 to 2000 viewers

but what happened, did someone streamed a tournament with a lot of viewers or what?

>>12586217
It's not because of any one person. It's just that images and videos in general have begun circulating on social media.

>>12586222
dang, that sounds really bad.

>>12585269
As someone from the sup3r 3l1t3 sikrit klib who'll get banned if I download spada (muh ratio) I've also been interested in non sows for the time being.

The torrent name being "LDJ-2014071600-nc" - in size of 37.4gb being the exact rip, leads to some results, though not much you can look to download.
Thats all I've got currently

>>12586222
it's those koreans up to no good
somebody posted a korean tweeting spada omnimix that got 1000 shares or whatever it's called

>>12586401
I thought Koreans weren't supposed to get invites because they have official e-amusement server or whatever.

>>12586446
that doesn't mean they can't lie when applying through tictak
it's the reason why his invite tree got purged and korea got ip banned from psun

I still vote that programmed sun should be sows (maybe existing users too? Depends I guess.)nly and sows should move to a "get an invite to proceed to a what.cd-like interview"

>>12586498
i agree, at least until this blows over

>>12586499
I was thinking permanently. But something to make this shit harder to play certainly needs to happen.

freeleech time

>>12586678
Shit, I don't even know what the fuck to download since I have all the current games already.

Guess I'll grab that LR2 complete torrent. Any other suggestions for stuff that's worth having?

>>12586687
music

Is psun sows only now?

>>12586960
Can't see anything on psun about that.

>>12586960
not right now, no

>>12586976
>>12586977
Thank you. I was unsure based on what an anon said here, I lost my sows a while ago based on inactivity (and have really bad upload rate right now so I'll lose it pretty fast again) and was worried about losing the ability. Maybe I'll play again, I kind of miss it...

>>12586678
downloading spada, ddr 2013 + sdvx 2

thank you based freeleech

So can someone explain the sows drama and how it pertains to each side of the coin: sows and non-sows users

>>12587055
Basically as long as you don't care about streams or tweeting things publicly, nothing has really changed.

>>12587055
It should apply to everyone who has the data and is running PSun, bemaniso member or not.

We should also stop discussing AC data and leaks here. PSun forums are probably closing as well, but that shouldn't affect anyone who already has a pcbid and has the game running.

>>12587080
So this means that if someone doesn't have an account for either site, they're shit out of luck yes?

>>12587091
it's not as if you could do anything without either anyway

>>12587091
Not really.

See:
>>12587076

They're probably going to make pcbids more difficult to get if anything. They're relatively easy to get even for a nonmember.

>>12587080
it's not like idiots here aren't going to ask for/post leaks anyway even if tau posted here personally telling them to stop
>>12587091
it's not as if they're going to make either site impossible to get into
and i haven't heard of an official decision on a way to restrict psun a little more

Somewhat related, following an update, Deemo just got its song count doubled yesterday.

Why is there a need for a separate network, psun, and sows?

Despite not being a sows member. it sounds much better to have a separate eamuse network; one for sows and one for psun. The psun network could support older games such as Tricoro, Linicle etc, while sows' network could support the latest; Spada, SDVX, DDR2013 etc.

It seems the major way in which this affects non-sows members is the crackdown on leaks. I really hope it's not that instant though, I have 15% to go on my leaked Spada torrent.

>>12587111
The people posting here asking for leaks aren't going to respect Tau regardless if he works for Konami, is 'one of the sows guys' or is someone off the street.

#psun is leaking into this thread and its really annoying with their heightened feeling of superiority

>>12587241
....are you fucking serious?

>>12587241
I can't even. You are entirely missing the fucking point here.

I see what you did there

>>12587287
hi ness151

>>12587271
And xBEMANIxGIRLx was banned again today.

This thread is now for discussing #programmedsun rejects.

Who Glas here?

>>12587319
What did he do?

I mean, other than shitpost on /vg/ as DJ Tomato

>>12587308
tuxdude is cooler than bemanigirl
i thought bemanigirl was ok but hes a leaker faggot lol

>>12587271

he always talks about being on irc at school

going to see if my arcade is selling their ddr cabinet

the pad's work okay, need some repair; bar needs repainting, etc

what's a price range i should be safe at? i dont want to overpay

>>12587419
Are you the guy who said that no one plays it but you? The one who put 2 credits in, left, came back a day later and they were still there?
Offer around $500.

>>12587446
no i'm that guy
mine is a solo cab also

>>12587446
no but i laughed when i saw that yet i have a similar situation

i'm the only guy that plays it, nobody else i've seen play it, etc

i'll offer 600 to be safe

why the hell is dao's jubeat asc so expensive?

>>12587643
because jubeat is a bad game and he wants to discourage people from playing it

>>12587643
one piece metal construct and more specialised pcb/buttons

>>12587649
What's wrong with jubeat?

>>12587665
memotrash

>>12587665
its a memorization game and if it didnt have buttons and the bemani name on it it would just be another crappy touch screen game no one wants to play

So who wants to go "fuck the rules" and be the first to attempt to stream something?

>>12587678
Some clown already started streaming without reading the forum.

Also, please don't be an idiot. This is obviously a precarious situation right now.

>>12587683
Where're they streaming?

>>12587693
Twitch

so no one can stream anymore, even between 2 or 3 people?

>>12587728
Nope. No more streaming anything for anyone.

>>12587728
the key word is "publically," so anything that could somehow end on jp/kr twitter is absolutely not allowed
as for small private streams, i'm unsure. it seems like it would be fine, but it's better to be safe than sorry. someone said "if you have to ask, the answer is no."

>>12587728
What part of "Effective IMMEDIATELY, any further streaming, pictures, or public discussion of home setups is forbidden. This means both hacked Bemani AC being run on home setups and even real arcade machines in residential settings."did you not understand?

>>12587728
For the most part, No hdd rip casts. CS and Lunitic Rave is ok

>>12587738
>>12587742
>>12587747
>>12587748
welp, i wanted to be sure, thanks for the answers.

So any bets on what'll happen due to all of this drama?

>>12588147
My guess, programmed sun and world get taken down after complete retards/assholes refuse to follow the new rules, and djh/sows higher-ups see a lawsuit over all this bullshit (if konami finds them). After that sows may or may not go down.

Alternatively people follow the goddamned rules and this is the new normal for the community.

Some people aren't really grasping how serious this is. This freeleech could damn well be a going out of business sale.

i blame touhou

>>12588396
Leakers, twitter and irrisponsible streamers are the problem.

>>12588403
and touhou

>>12588403
and people who keep feeding /jp/

>>12588226
Something will eventually replace SOWS and rise from the ashes but you people need to stop doing this shit. I made all my Bemani shit private and you all should be doing the same. If you want new games you need to fucking cool it.

>>12588559
Why should we? They've been doing their sekret klub bullshit forever, they should know how it feels.

>>12588601
>If I can't have it, nobody can!

>>12588601
this comment is sad, i mean, i'm not on sows neither, but i appreciate how they share the games even tho is private, come on, if it wasn't for them, will would be not have the games in first place.

>http://www.torrentkitty.org/information/F14153A90DA58A6FB3571D7772E3E84AFDD73BD5
Dumbasses like this are going to make it so there are never any new Bemani that we can play.

If you really want to get into the community and spend the time to cultivate the relationships necessary to play the games then by all means, do it. The more exposure leaks get and the more Konami knows the less likely we'll get new releases.

TBH I don't even like that there are Bemani threads on here. I like the sense of community but with streamers being stupid and a lot of this other stuff it's clear that there's a need for secrecy, at least for now. There was a scare like this in the past and I expect this not to be the last one.

>>12588681

I should invite you to sows just because you make sense for a non-sows member

But sows doesn't actually have anything, so it'd be pointless to invite you.

Sorry :(

>>12588807
You shouldn't invite people you don't know.

>>12588809
I'd invite anyone here if they gave me stats that I deem worthy. This personal bs is bullshit.

>>12588809

As if I can invite anyone now anyways.

I only invited one guy and he lays low like a motherfuck. I spend my bonus points wisely.

A question, why isnt the network sows only? Wouldn't this solve at least some pf these issues?

>>12588807
nah is ok, maybe someday i hang out in the irc and then someday get one.

this thread is fucking trash now

>>12588831
It always has been, now is time to post bemani porn.
please

>>12588824

If the network was sows only we'd have more problems, actually.

>>12588846
Like?

What proof is there that Konami is aware of the existence of sows?
Obviously with this recent issue it's become more public, but I heard at least 6 months ago that Konami knows about sows but turns a blind eye because sows isn't really hurting them. Obviously with Japanese people becoming more interested in these home setups it poses an issue to their money making ability.

Who knows, maybe Konami will just resolve to release a PC version of IIDX every few years; that would be good, because then we'd be able to directly support them, and we could get cheaper controllers.

>>12588807
>But sows doesn't actually have anything
wat?

>>12588854
The /jp/ shitposters are leaking to this thread

>>12588852
I know some bemani artists (or maybe it was just kors k?) contacted Sows and requested certain things not be uploaded.

And with how fucking loud everyone has been over the years, there is no way Konmai doesn't know about PW/PS/etc. by now.

>>12588852
i highly doubt konami knows and people are most likely just generalizing about it

the matter of the fact is that there is not a large enough audience for konami to have any thought of releasing any of their games here. the only games where it would have a slight chance is (possibly) sound voltex, which I would still put in the back of my mind.

i wouldn't ever expect to see a US IIDX release unless they made the game a LOT easier then it is on the arcade, otherwise people would just be complaining that it's too hard

>>12588868
wow, is that true?

>>12588870
re-replying to my old comment

but most likely because konami does not give a single shit as long as it doesn't grow huge. people streaming SDVX with 1000+ viewers (cirno's stream a long time ago) was a MASSIVE PROBLEM because it bought unwanted attention towards sows

as long as a massive amount of people don't find out about it and just go there for (lol free arcade games thx konami) then I suppose we're in the clear, unless konami decides to pull one because you don't know what they'll do

>>12588851

Imagine all the hit and runners and shitty leechers we have. The fact you need not just sows to get the data but other places to be able to run the data is great, since it puts a little more control on people freely playing the games.

>>12588854

It really doesn't. It just has arcade data, which is what everyone wants sows for, and soundtracks that wind up being available for direct download on animu forums.

I mean, yeah you could say the same for every site, but with sows when freeleech is on, there's nothing really to do.

This thread has gotten out of hand

>>12589070
Game is garbage.

>>12589068
you can try the ones on wii, there are like 5.

>>12589070
is a nice game, even tho is not too difficult imo.

>>12589076
How do they run in Dolphin? Don't feel like hooking up my wii anymore.

>>12589073
i like 1 handed mode

>>12589082
ummm, i dunno, depends of your specs, let me try.

>>12589058
Taiko is bad as a competitive game, but it's still cute and incredibly stylish. The 60 FPS tweeny animations are cheery and appealing. I like watching it more than playing it.

Rhythm Heaven has 0 replay value since any remotely experience music game enthusiast perfect everything instantly, but it's still really good for that one playthrough.

I got a fake tatacon from a chinese website as a birthday gift. It's good, but the issue is that you can't really smack it the same way you would in an arcade.

There was a project done by some people at a university where they take a certain frequency and have that as an input, then put a microphone in a drum that they make. I was going to make one last holidays but didn't get around to it. I was going to use some fake leather and PVC pipe with rivets or something.

>Full of black people, pretty cushy apparently
Not exactly how I would describe a place full of black people but okay.

Just got a fresh version of PnM21 since freeleech is on, but I came to wonder something.

Are all songs unlocked, or am I supposed to do something to unlock songs? Psun doesn't really give me any options to activate any events for Pop'n Music, and I'm worried I might be wasting points I should be using to grind new songs.

>>12589675
Psst don't you know we're supposed to not talk about that.

>>12589686
errr, i think we can't talk about leaks and stuff, but we can help, i guess.
>>12589675
there is two ways, unlock everything with a dll, or unlock everything in the old way, playing combo songs to get some related songs, and get animals to "buy" new songs.

>>12589704
>>12589686

The ban on talking is more on home stations and showing pics of them, I don't think it extends to normal conversation about it.

Still, how do I get animals? When I finish a game I don't get the zoo event, it just ends. Do I have to activate the event somehow? And what's this about combo songs?

When I was in Japan it was all automatic, but I'm not sure about how I'd go about configuring it myself.

>>12589748
do you have last update?, if you do, then the event is automatically on, even in the start screen is an icon of animals, well, about the "combo" songs, there are some song you can unlock be playing certain song, e.g. you play two songs related, and the third song you can play a secret song related, and then you can unlock it, i do suggest check out more info on remywiki.com/PnM_AC_SP, and you get animals to just playing songs, 1 when failing and 2 when clearing, and you can get more from bonus. that's all, i guess.

Oh yeah boy, it's freeleech time. Too bad I don't even want anything.

>>12589769
Tell me about it, All I've gotten was the LR2 torrents and now I'm kind of lost.

>>12589769
How long does freeleech usually last?

>>12589774
I'd download some arcade data but it's not like I have any decent controllers or the money to buy them.

>>12589788
This particular one will last a week.

>>12589800
Playing Pop'n on a dualshock is a fun time.

>>12589769
Just DL everything for ratio purposes. I got up from 100G to 500GB in like 12 hours.

>>12587258
Mine is still running fucking Lincle

>>12589818
I don't know, I like playing games with their actual controllers. I was think of building a ghetto controller but I'm too lazy to make one.

>>12589890
My ratio is already pretty high, I barely use this tracker anymore. Just for music once in a while.

Always wondered, is it allowed to seed one copy of something with a few seeders on one PC, and then download the very same data from another PC and then after completion deleting the data. And then you repeat.

>>12589896
Actually, does that even give you upload, since both clients use the same passkey?

If I get a crash on startup while checking for the IC card unit, is it because I entered the pbcid wrong?

I'm sorry for discussing this.

I guess I'll wait until things quiet down to request an invitation on the psun board

>>12589167

who the hell are you guys

Well sorry to do this, but now that I have fully downloaded my leaked version of Spada, I don't think I have the right bemanitools - the setup guide on Psun has been edited to remove that. I have 4.21, but that doesn't have an iidx21 folder.

Do I just use the iidx20 folder?

>>12591016
I'd feel really bad for those who had to play SPADA as their last style.

Time to push some buttons!

in the past I've wondered if the djh team has like, a backdoor somewhere with meltdown buttons on everyone's arcade rips if things were to ever get serious

>> 12591578

Yeah, it's called they just turn off the PW/PS servers and that's it - it's over. There's maybe 5 people who can do that at any moment.

>>12591593
You can make your own network instead of using pw/ps. There's a guide for it on psun i think.

>>12591608
can you link the guide?, i was searching something like that and i never saw a guide about that on psun.

>>12591608
That doesn't work for anything new.

>>12591593
guys just click the post numbers with javascript on
or type it right lmao

>>12591608
Everyone can make their own network with some light coding abilities. Japanese users on Bemanichannel have 3 of them. We need to abandon PW/PS and create an opensource alternative for when everyone using their real names to distribute illegal copies of multi-thousand dollar games eventually get vanned.

>>12591593

what I mean is something that initiates some sort of self-delete function on any game that tries to connect to the servers if there was ever a lawsuit and they needed to destroy as much evidence as possible and quickly

I'm throwing darts in the dark here, but they've got to have some sort of contingency plan for a worst-case scenario

>>12591635

If they're dumb enough to use their real names to distribute illegal games I highly doubt it.

>>12591578
>>12591635
that's dumb & you're not good at computer

>>12591608
Hahaha, NO. You can try to get eamusement emulation working but it doesn't work on anything recent.

There's also bemanichannel, but if you think sows is weird and horrible and is difficult to get info from, good luck with moonrunes.

>>12591625
Most of the work involves reverse-engineering what data the game expects. Requires network traffic analysis, the ability to set up a web server, and the ability to design a database for it. The work to figure out what and how the game expects data is most of the work. It's not a "light coding" thing that you do in a starbucks while sipping lightly on a faggotchino.

>>12591704
haha, faggotchino.

Hey, let's play a game! Post your PCBID numbers and I will give you something very nice.

>>12591718
Sent ;)

>>12591625
Yeah, ONE GUY made the original bemanichannel implementation. You don't see them or anyone handing out source code because that's exactly the shit that brings the bootleggers out in droves and the Konami banhammer banhammer will sue force.

If/when PW and PS go down, they're not going to be handed off to anyone. They're going to be destroyed. But yeah, good luck to you coming up with an alternative. I'm sure a weekend of light duty is gonna do the trick.

cloppabazonkso

>>12591743
>cloppabazonkso
copabazooples

>>12591732 >>12591704

OK OK, "light coding" is a total understatement, I know. My point still stands that between the PW team, the original PSun team (before the PW merge), the chinese Rainbow team, the bemanichannel guy, and the old eamuemu guy all doing it, there's no reason why someone else can't.

If you don't think the game's already being bootlegged to hell you're blind. Shit's been going on since like DDR 3rd Mix. If you've checked the facebook of everyone involved (again, real names because fisher price my first warez) it's clear to see this time there's something going on more than "the sources are getting nervous". If Konami wanted to bring the banhammer they could have very very easily done it already.

>>12591745

cappobaHAYOHHHHHHH

>>12591756
Nah, if Konami had brings the banhammer, you'll see a complete and immediate shutdown.

Also, I love when "someone else" is always the person we're waiting for. If you can't do it for yourself, no one will. So either learn to figure it out for yourself, by yourself, or start sucking dicks now.

>>12591756
Look at the entitlement here. Hey, fuck these guys because who gives a shit? Someone else will just do it for me and then I can play my chinese rainbow games. Like and subscribe, follow me on twitch, retweet my dumblr/twatter shit pls pls pls notice me senpai waifu

>>12592293
yeah, and we try to talk something elese, and people come back to just shitposting...

well, what's maimai?, i never heard of it.

It's kinda fun.

There's a reason for that.

What's the name of Spada's Menu music? i really like it.

>>12592321
music select

>>12592310
wow, it looks somewhat chaotic, but fun at least.

>>12592333
Not that much chaotic compared to Jubeat's or Reflec Beat's level 10s.

MaiMai is a bit of a weird one, I still can't pinpoint what your meant to do while playing it.

>>12591625
main reason why this isn't happening:

1: bootleg cabinets easier i.e someone can make money off of a djhackers crack by just avoiding their network and making their own, not banning themselves for using coin modes, etc; allowing them to profit off of it

>>12592356
To add to that it would also piss off konami even more

i figure maimai's gotta be decent in a world where beatstream and beatcraft exist

Well you're supposed to click the buttons surrounding the screen when the small circles are in the purple large circle. You also drag your fingers across the screen (it's also a touchscreen) when those blue arrows come up.
God I'm bad at explaining things.

>>12592367
It's ok, you've helped give me a basic idea.
It certainly sounds interesting.

>>12592347
feel the washing machine

>>12592370
It's not as deep or complex as IIDX but if you like Jubeat, or RB you'd probably like it.

>>12592372
lol, nice one, even tho is a nice design.

>>12592389
Problem is I don't know of any maimai cabs where I live!

>>12592397
try it when/if you go to japan

>>12592367
I remember seeing maimai machines in all the arcades when I went to China, I had no idea what they were at the time but they were easily the most popular thing there. Everyone playing them would wear special gloves that I'm guessing reduced friction on the screen for the slider notes and they would just camp there with queues of up to 10 people waiting to play. I was thinking of trying it but just kinda didn't cause I would look like an asshole playing at low levels while all the serious players just stand watching.

I ended up just playing a lot of spada and SDVX. And rhythmvaders..., but i don't know how much people actually know about that game, I never see it talked about

>>12592397
the only arcades i know from where i live are ddr and drummania, and those are 1 hour from house :c

>>12592410
All the bemani stuff here is around a 45/50 minute's drive away. Even then the IIDX machine runs lincle and has no e-ammusement

>>12592408
>queues of up to 10 people
Holy shit. I didn't know they were THAT popular.
But yeah that wearing glove thing is indeed a thing here too among the pro players.

>>12592408
I feel like most people won't care if you're shit at game at an arcade.

>>12592421
even winter gloves?

>>12592427
I don't know about winter gloves since I live in a tropical country. I would think cotton gloves are the norm.

>>12592421
i've never played it but i can imagine the friction blistering you the hell up if you didn't

>>12592408
>rhythmvaders / groove coaster
I have a feeling this game isn't too popular. Even when I went to Osaka this year, no one was playing this game in Taito Station.

>>12592424
Yeah, mabye I'm a little too self-conscious about these types of things, I think that plus the fact that I dont blend in with most people well just makes me not want to put myself into the spotlight too much

>>12592421
I think, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, that maimai cabs are a little inefficient because there are always two linked together and, if one person is using only one, the other cannot be used at all. Two people can play linked, but if one is used by one person, the other just sits there. I remember the little coin shelf where people reserve their spots being stacked so that people had to put coins on their coins on their coins

Yes this is definitely a thing. It's a stupid design decision from Sega.

>>12592435
i see, thanks.
>>12592456
those are the gloves that pros use?

>>12592462
Some may think of it as strange. Other's may think of it as a clever way of stopping people from pirating the games

>>12592466
>>12592462
Not asking for a leak or anything but has anyone ever successfully pirated and emulated one of those games? Do they even run in a Windows machine or is that only for Bemani games? Just curious.

>>12592585
From what I know MaiMai hasn't been successfully cracked or emulated before. For 1 thing SEGA's encription is brutal and for another thing it would be near impossible to play without it being on an actual cabinet.

>>12592585
I'll explain why MaiMai isn't cracked.
1.) Game hasn't been dumped. (trivial)
2.) Sega Ring Edge 2 hasn't been cracked. The most likely person with experience working on sega hardware security isn't interested and no one's offering him money to do it. Unlike dj hackers, this guy expects to be paid for his work. Either in money or in gear.
3.) Neither Taiwan nor Hong Kong wanna touch this. They have plenty of other shit to work on, and slot machines are much more lucrative to bootleg.
4.) The game requires an implementation of ALL.net. No one is working on this and no one cares.This is absolutely necessary to offer all the features in the game. The game is crippled without it.
5.) There isn't a suitable input method for the game. No one in the western community wants to crack this game just to run it on a laptop. And no one is willing to invest time in creating an ASC, Even recent ASC attempts for sekret klub membars have been mostly a clusterfuck.
6.) Seriously, no one fucking cares.

There's actually a lot more demand for say, GGXrd, to the point where bootleg software copies are available for legit hardware but absolutely nothing for MaiMai.

Did I mention no one fucking cares? And good luck wishing and hoping and praying for it when Sega themselves won't bring it to AMOA. Neither BMI nor Raw Thrills have any interest in it. Last serious, premium games they backed were Pac-Man Battle Royale and Giant Tetris, and both of those were miserable failures. It's why Doodle Jump and Flappy Bird are more likely to have redemption games at Dave and Busters.

If you get lucky, maybe Round 1 will get it, US Round 1s get all the runoff from their Japanese HQ. But good luck playing it when the game requires a card to save your progress and you have to import one from Japan. Oh, and get fucked if they have a regional IP ban ANYWAY.

Maimai Orange in my country apparently got cracked so all of the songs and diffculty are unlocked from the get go. So it's apparently possible to play 'offline'.

>>12593271
And this is exactly what you're not going to see at Round 1.

I really like this album.

>>12594249
Cafe Music is fantastic.

While not cafe, I'm a fan of this.

Can someone explain what microswitches are? And what the recommended ones are?

>>12594372
Get the 50g omrons. Honeywells are garbage.

If you're getting DAO buttons, get 100g switches. If you're getting Sanwa buttons, get 50g switches.

Dao doesn't let you customize springs, but you should know that if you buy sanwa buttons, they come with 100g springs default, and dao buttons, they come with 40g springs default.

You want the total weight to be around 100-150g.

If you were to get 50g switches with DAO buttons, it would only total up to 90g.
