Is there any benefit to purposely training yourself to read extremely high scroll speeds? At what point does reaction take over pattern recognition?

>>13075482
Sorry a word triggered your autism there

Might wanna get that looked at

>>13075586
The big advantage is that it lets you isolate more of the lane so you can zero in on what you really want to focus on while cutting out anything that isn't relevant yet that can distract you from catching the corner of your eye. Higher speed mods will help a lot on songs with slowdowns and charts with whiplashing BPMs, like Mind the Gap.

>>13075657
Fuck off crossie.

>>13075744
god i remember when i gave a shit about board politics shit on 4chan. /jp/ didn't exist yet and i was a teen and it sucked. hope things get better for you buddy

>>13075586
i don't know what your definition of extremely high is, but generally you want to work on reading as fast as you reasonably can.

>>13075586
I'd say none. It's a good way to warm up fast though. I tried to purposely train and it didn't do anything you wouldn't get playing normally.

Reaction takes over when you've burned it into your brain. That takes a lot of repetition and time. If you'd play roughly four hours a day it would take maybe half a year. Then you'd feel comfortable enough so you wouldn't think much about hitting the buttons and it's more about timing and reading.
It's a good feeling once you're there, but try to remain aware of your hands, positioning, etc. This will help you at higher levels when you need more dynamic control over your hands.

As little bonus tip, you don't always have to play at your limits. You can play easier songs. This will help you stack up those hundreds of hours.

>>13076156
>i don't know what your definition of extremely high is, but generally you want to work on reading as fast as you reasonably can.
Faster is not necessarily better. If it's too fast you'll spend too much of your energy on reading and not the actual flow of the chart and timing.

>>13075586
For me the speed increase is completely natural, as I get better I find myself actively wanting the notes to scroll faster.

>>13076184
totally
but you won't figure out what too fast means for you overnight, so my generic advice was a simple hey try to go faster but be reasonable about it

funky thing from previous thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfOwkFvumuk

>>13076184
What's considered fast enough for top players to play the hardest charts and make them clear enough? My comfort zone is around 350 green number (pretty new, playing 8s), will that always be fast enough?

>>13076603
I think most top players play in the 270-300 range.

>>13076340
You will switch between higher or lower green number as you go along many times. It will change naturally.

It's a very minor thing. I could switch to 450 and get used to it in few hours and then to 270 or whatever.
Finding or knowing your sweet-spot in the early late game is more important to keep your timing consistent. You will get past that as well. Don't overthink.

>>13076823
yeah you're right, i was pushing what came naturally to me which who cares

Just got my Sanwa adapater (PY-PSUAD11) in the mail today and I can't get it to work whatsoever. Once in a while it will let me input shit and then just stop, and LR only registers up scratch, select, and start. The buttons are definitely registering on my computer since the Lincle config recognizes them all, but anything later I've been shit out of luck.

I'm playing on a DJ Dao from around 2010~2011

>>13078141
Well I got it working by just recopying over bemanitools and now need to work on binding the scratches properly.

>>13078244
Okay now I'm bored and if anyone can send their appdata files that remedies this issue I promise you that you will be rewarded very poorly.

>>13078141
If you have dao why didn't you just buy an arcin or dao's new pcb?

I'm confused as to why you're still playing lincle. Are you using the latest bemanitools?

>>13078464
I am not playing Lincle but noted that it worked with Lincle at first but worked with tricoro and later once I recopied bemanitools.

I will buy an arcin/pcb in time, but I want to do a quality test with the controller to see what parts might or might not need replacing first. So far, I think I need at least two new key buttons, two LEDs, and a different set of microswitches, but I still want to confirm some other stuff as well. If I can get it all set up and working for a month, then I will make some upgrades.

>>13078464
Does the new PCB work fine with 3 pin connectors for the buttons? I know I at least have to get a new extension for the turntable due to wire length.

Also it looks like I'm getting nowhere with this adapter. Oh well. Win some, lose some.

So I'm looking into seedboxes and I'm not entirely sure if I'll need one. My computer is constantly seeding 24/7. I've joined about a month ago and my upload is 8gb. Is that good? Will a seedbox change my upload speed drastically as opposed to only using my computer to seed?

>>13082038
sows is the last tracker you'd ever need a seedbox for. just take advantages of freeleeches and your ratio will be through the roof

>>13082038
i wouldn't bother. if you can seed from home 24/7 without it being problematic then you really shouldn't need a seedbox for any private tracker out there, let alone this one

>>13082071
>>13082218
Thanks. Guess I'll just keep the seeding to myself, then.

>>13082038
I'd say you really only need a seedbox if you live in a dorm that limits internet (or blocks p2p altogether) or if you don't leave your computer on overnight but want to gather points.

If you just want to build ratio, you'll get most of it during freeleeches anyways.

Why did Konami stop making CS games? PS2 was out of date and they didn't want to make new turntables? I'd import the fuck out of some CS games for PS3 or 4

I installed Cytus on android, and it's surprisingly good. I didn't think android rhythm games could have nice gameplay, but this one is really well made and the tracklist has some great stuff. Anyone tried it here? The only major downside is that it seems too easy for rhythm games veterans, I played an hour and can already pass most 9s (which is the hardest diff) with 75%. Only freedom dive managed to kick my ass

>>13084577
Cytus is fun but like you've mentioned it's nothing all that new if you're already good at rhythm games.

You have answered your own question.

>>13084899
Bemani has a rich and storied history of being played by people in fursuits.

How do you guys hit your 7 key (or 2p 1 key)?
I use my ring finger but it feels so unnatural to curve it so I just move my hand down when I have to hit it. It's worked fine up until 9's where I'm faced with constant stairs.

>>13084899
Wut, where, when?, I'm there but never saw something like that, maybe I don't lurk enough.

>>13085695
Ring or pinky. If you're playing 1P and want a way to teach your hands things, learn to get really good with a 3x3 numberpad with index, middle & ring and then throw in your pinky.

>>13084899
For your big fat information the ITG community has a proud and rich history of people passing 15s and 16s in their fursuits check your privilege

Is anybody having trouble signing into sows? Every time I try to log in it tells me my info is incorrect. I tried signing in last night but I got locked out for 6 hours, and now I tried again and I'm locked out again. I seriously hope this isn't happening to others, this is suffering.

>>13094537
>he hit capslock

>>13094565

I wish that were the case, I've been trying to figure out what the problem is since the first time I got locked out. The second time I even took my time and put the password in as slowly and as carefully as I could to ensure I wouldn't mess up, but of course it didn't work.

>>13094593
Check your email.
You're better off going to irc and contacting someone in case they have an ip filter or permanent lockout function.

>>13094601

Checked my email and nothing, and to be honest I've never used IRC nor know how to use it. I guess now all I can do is wait for this problem to blow over.

>>13094656
Learn to. Possibly your account details got stolen. Better act now.

This also happened to me a while ago, I can't say I'm glad I wasn't the only one, but at least I know it wasn't just me and that there's a possible problem going on. An anon was kind enough to send me an invite after I explained my situation, I hope someone shows you the same kindness.

>>13094675

I seriously hope that isn't the case.

>>13094705

When did it happen to you?

>>13094711

It was about a week before new years, so about two months ago.

>>13094742

That wasn't too long ago. Have you tried signing into your old account since you made the new one?

>>13094756

I actually did about a week ago, and I still wasn't able to sign in. As the other anon said, it's very possible that your account information was stolen. I have no doubt that that's what happened with me, I hope this isn't the problem with you, because if it is you're really fucked.

>>13094802

Is this still cheaper than just buying a turbocharger or something?
What parts did you use?

>>13084899
because pop'n has ollie

>>13095572
It's cheaper but I'd personally just buy the turbocharger. I bought the buttons like 5 or 6 months ago off of aliexpress and just now got around to putting them into a box,
How it is now I still need to replace the springs before I'd consider it even remotely playable. Even then the box itself is somewhat flimsy.

>>13096771
say it aint so :''')

Black IIDX keys would look a lot nicer if the outside was clear and the inner white part was black instead

>>13096746
What was your logic behind the purchase? Have you played SDVX before? Do you have k-shootmania set up or anything like that?

Anyways getting into sows isn't super hard. If you can show you're dedicated, which having an expensive ASC is a huge part of, that's the main thing you need for someone to feel comfortable giving you an invite.

>>13097166
I got the data for 1 and 2 from some of those leaks
theyre outdated though so its in my best interest to get on sows
i got 1 running offline with a problem im trying to work out but 2 wont do shit

i did check out kshoot but sure doesnt feel as good

i havent had an impulse buy in a while now so i went ahead and splurged

>>13097189
If you've got any data at all, you don't need k-shoot.
I don't really know a whole lot about updates, but you should be pretty set for a while if you have SDVX II. I had a tricoro leak and an FPS for a good month or two before I got into sows, you really don't need it right away. For now just dive into the community - learn more about the games, if you've got a local arcade go to it and meet some people, do research on how torrents and seedboxes work if you're not familiar with that stuff, just make yourself a better candidate for whenever you have contact with someone with invites.

Or, you can always just draw cindy fanart

>>13097221
yeah, im sure the data will hold me off for a while
im still waiting for the controller to get here so thats why im not just playing it right now
I have no problem seeding since im assuming my 1 mbyte/s upload would do just fine
thanks for the info, was wondering if others got leaks running

>>13097247
>thanks for the info, was wondering if others got leaks running
As far as I've seen, it's not really a big deal to most people. If you're the "fuck sows, leaks for everyone" type then that's a different story, but lots of people do start out on them out of curiosity before really taking an interest in bemani stuff and deciding to get into the community.

i can't decide whether to get an fps or a pop'n controller

fps
+ huge quality upgrade from my uskoc and no more 250hz limit fucking my timing
+ i play iidx a lot more
- using a koc is like 70% of the proper experience so not as much of an upgrade as getting a pop'n controller would be

pop'n
+ using a minicon is like 0% of the proper experience so huge upgrade
+ i'd play pop'n a lot more if i had an asc
- loud as fuck

choose for me /jp/

>>13098368
SDVX ASC if you don't have one yet -> Pop'n ASC -> IIDX ASC

Playing on a koc is close enough to the real thing that I wouldn't bother upgrading until you have controllers for everything else too.

>>13098368
keep going with the 2dx but get a platinum edition instead and then buy an arcin for dat 1000hz

That's a relief. I've heard of certain cards having issues with ddr. Not sure if the same holds for iidx. Guess its just nvidia cards that have issues.

>+ i play iidx a lot more
Go for FPS unless you're dead set on pop'n. The KOC and ASC are oceans apart, and not just because of fancy lights and turntable distance. Jackhammering on a KOC is a pain in the fucking ass and even the standard buttons and Honeywell micros significantly improve that, the buttons seldom stick due aforementioned springs assist in the recoil on release, and the sound gives you better audio queues of your rhythm. As a bonus, the new PCB has native compatibility with the PC so you won't need an adapter anymore.

Also, I think that pop'n ASC might turn out being quieter since it's not HARD FUCKING ASS PLASTIC ON HARD FUCKING ASS PLASTIC ACTION if you have something really sturdy to play it on.

>>13100110
you're welcome

>>13099851
IIDX has standards, that's why it's the only Bemani game without Hinabita songs.

>>13100137
thank you

>>13100188
>IIDX has standards

>>13100188
The hinabita songs are so good tho.

>>13099851
Because SDVX is mostly user submitted doujin stuff and the note charts are user created.
I'm in the minority who would love to see 2hu music in IIDX, but I know it'll never happen.

There's always BMS, but almost all of the taohao ones I've found are pretty shitty and that's not really the same thing as being able to play them at an arcade.

Big timing improvement with my KOC after holding my hands above the buttons and slamming my fingers down arcade style versus resting my fingers on the buttons and just pushing them down like I used to.

>>13104993
Yeah, that really goes a long way. It's better for preventing repetitive stress injuries too, because there's more arm/wrist movement rather than only fingers moving and fucking up your carpal tunnel

>>13104588
I know how that feels. I'm currently aiming for a quad soon, this is the closest I've been. It's a shame the DDR/ITG scene is dead, it had always been the main attraction at every local arcade I've ever been to.

Also piu exists.

>>13105217
>also using C mods takes away some of the fun of custom simfiles.
I don't think this particular file had anything going on with speed changes anyway. I mostly do it out of laziness. There's a few song that it's really annoying on and I do it there because fuck those songs, like kono spoon suteki desu ne.

Nice score by the way, my roommate plays and he's significantly better than me but I don't think he SDE's much of anything. He's been focused more on getting 99s on 13+. I just don't have the stamina for it at all.

http://www.amazon.com/Counting-Combos-History-Japanese-Community/dp/1475003161

I think an epub or pdf copy is available somewhere, but I can't remember where I found it. The guy isn't a very good writer (and he's pretty badly biased) but it gives some really interesting perspective if you're at all interested in this sort of thing. Probably the most interesting thing is how he talks about konami's attitude at the test sites, saying that they actively targeted the "average" (read: struggles with 7 footers) player as opposed to the players aiming for AAA. This has changed a bit (new difficulty scale, making fantastics global, adding harder songs) but the game still has dull charts that don't fit well with the music or are horribly convoluted with meaningless crossovers and time changes (but apparently this is what Japanese players like?).

>>13105470
What made ITG good?

>>13108280
Back when the series came out (ignoring R21/hacking/KONAMI WILL SUE, etc.):

Challenging without having to always result to gimmicks (but sometimes does), decent difficulty curve that doesn't alienate newcomers, better speed mods even if you ignore CCs, arrow skins that were much easier on the eyes (remember trying to read arrows on Drifting Away on Max 2 AC it was a pain in the fucking dick), larger variety of modifiers, higher sound quality due to not running on PS1 hardware, better pad construction due to partnering with Andamiro, USB ports were more reliable than DDR AC memory card slots and kept track of personal bests and edits, a scoring system that better reflects progress, significantly less syncing issues (but there were still a few), patches made to tweak minor issues and add content and NOT fix a broken-on-release game (sup Supernova), and actually listening to consumer feedback. While the song list had its ups and downs, it was mostly passable.

Doubles charts still suck ass on both fronts, but ITG wins that as well.

at least some of the round 1s are getting gitadora, right?

What the hell is with all of the social justice people on SOWS and California players in particular? I don't want to go to the arcade with this cancer.

>>13108873
Please explain.

>>13108312
Plus the new gameplay elements of mines, hands and rolls as well as the much smoother difficulty curve when compared to DDR.

>>13108873
i know what incident on sows that you're referring to and there has only been one thing irl that i witnessed firsthand. the people who are like this just talk shit behind other's backs. it's not bad like other types of gaming yet. just don't go calling people jews etc and you'll be fine. it's getting worse with people going in the gay thread saying the use of "the term faggot is problematic" and the other mentioned incident but overall sows is okay.

TL;DR Bemani players are useless degenerates.

Yeaaaahhhhhh about that... The "Hate Speech" rule is moronic and everyone knows it. That mentality is one of the many reasons I just snatch torrents and don't post. It's a shit site with shit people (much like here) but don't let it get in the way of GGs.

>>13109108
To be fair, osu is probably the biggest 'portal' game available to westerners.

>>13109128
I started with taiko 6 years ago.

>>13109147
Think we'll ever get an asc+rips for taiko? I've always wanted to git gud at it but I don't have anywhere to play it often.

>>13109156
You'll have to make it yourself. There are real decks that have been modified to work with dj hero the way it should have been. A taiko drum is much eaiser to pull off.

>>13109156
You can try the ps2 or wii games.

>>13109108
>started with osu!
How unfortunate

>>13109108
>>13109257
>All the unjunstified, blown out of proportion osu hate

Come on, we know the ranking and scoring system sucks, but it's still a fun game with great elements like its beatmap editor and multiplayer. Nothing wrong with starting out with osu

>>13109297
If you mean Osu(The original game), ok.
But if you mean the simulator, I don't know, Mouse or tablet is not the same experience than a touch screen.

>>13109309
You're talking out of your ass. The original game is Ouendan, not osu, and tablet gameplay with keyboard allows way more skill than what a touch screen is limiting you too. It also becomes more of a rhythm game, with two fingers playing the rhythm. Osu is less of a rhythm game than IIDX or DDR for exemple, but still more than what it's original was

Hey guys I need some help here. I got taiko no tatsujin on my jap 3ds and I was wondering if any of you guys know how the scoring system worked.

>>13109339
Is Osu Tatakae Ouendan anon, now do a little more search, but is ok, I'm not saying is bad to like it, is not the same to me.

>>13108873
i don't post on sows (nor have i seen any of these specific events), i don't live in CA, i've been posting on imageboards for over a decade, i like loli & i don't care much for tumblr. if i found out i was taking turns with somebody that claimed to be "anti-sjw" i would not hesitate to engage them + give them what for. that's nonsense mate

>>13109339
You can't accuse others of talking out of their ass when the entire osu community was throwing shit everywhere when tablet players came in and utterly destroyed all the keyboard and mouse players.
What's with this massive reduction in /jp/'s IQ recently?

>>13109504
From Sows showing up

>>13109309
pretty damn sure Ouendan is the original game, and osu is a clone of it.

I started with FFR and StepMania like ten years ago. I actually found out about IIDX from using k//eternal's StepMania themes and became much more interested in it after learning that a bunch of my favorite simfiles were IIDX songs.
I'm sure most people who came from the arcades or played the PS2 games would scoff at that, but I don't give a fuck, because I live in the middle of nowhere and have never owned a PS2.

>>13109871
I came from Guitar Hero 3, so you don't have it too bad

Is Nekomata Master the most consistently good Bemani artist?

>>13109871
>ffr was ten years ago
holy shit
I wonder how many people have gotten carpal tunnel and can't play rhythm games anymore since then.

>>13110640
Listen to the song over and over until you can recite the scratch part by heart.

Then play.

you think this pro cindy shoop skills will net me an invite? i worked really hard on it, i suck at shoop

>>13109871
I started on StepMania in 2006 and didn't learn about IIDX until I saw someone playing it in the game room at a convention in 2008. And even then, I never had the opportunity to play it myself until only about six months ago.

Behold!

>>13111763
urs is cool but mines better

i pmed the pic to sherl0ck but he hasnt responded, really hope i get an invite i got 650 dollarinos invested in this shit

>>13111793
i dont even want the invite, so make it count towards your invite i guess. Just wanted to make the image

>>13111437
quick somebody call the cops we have a real live internet tough guy &he's pretending that he's in a gang

>>13109108

Quite the opposite. Why would I care if I were in the gang? Think again, tough guy.

>>13112327
dude you were totally trying to sound irl menacing over the internet
don't front

>>13112356
What the fuck? I was just pointing out their little sows group. If you go in blasting you'll have a real fun experience.

>>13112396
oh, well. my experiences don't really support the harsh perception you seem to have? arcades aren't highschool and sows aint the football team
there are probably some arcades with crappy communities, and there have got to be some circlejerky cliques on sows (like any proper old forum has)
but i mean, all of the arcades i've been to and almost all of the people i've met at them have been alright&decent people, and many of them probably have sows accounts

>>13112527
Pretty much. Except that unfortunately irc channel brings out the worst. Especially if someone goes in with bold opinions. As long as you're not yourself everything's great.

I was made VIP after hanging out with sherl0k and Anthony at Anime Milwaukee.

Anyone who wants an invite send me your email address and a timestamped photo of your erect dick to skub@bemaniso.ws

Alternatively, just send me an email and I'll send you a bemaniso invite.

>>13113038
GTFO Evi.
The nebulous term known as "hate speech" encompasses more than racial slurs, it's basically "anything I don't like". Go back to posting about how you have problems with "cisgender" posters on Sows, nigger.

>>13112776
I've already sent out only one invite.
Still received zero cocks.
Make this change, people.

also SLAKE is god

>>13113278
Aubrey pls :c

>>13113113
when you're trying to manage/expand a community (especially one that you'd like to consider welcoming) it's worth considering how many friendly people might be put off by that stuff and never engage with the community because of it. telling those people to get over it or go home is not as effective as asking the existing community to dial it down
(how well the administration is doing is a separate matter)

Be excellent to each other.

>>13113315
People entering a community need to adapt. Why should established people have to change for newcomers? Sure, the community is expanding and people from 4chan are getting invited. Why do they need to be babied, they're from fucking 4chan. I don't think when you're curating new users from 4chan "friendly" is the key metric by which old and new members of the community are judged.

>>13113246
high level bait

>>13113354
Put your trip back on aubrey.

>>13113315
name any user that has left sows because of "hate speech". i'm waiting lmao

>>13113246
literally every slake song is excellent

go listen to the invisible force if you want some more easily accessible stuff by him

>>13113371

Just because it's complex (or so you think it is) doesn't mean it's good. See: math rock, breakcore. If you like shit music, you have shit taste, and 90% of slake can barely even be considered music. I was being generous by recommending blocks.

>>13111544
looks like it did

>>13113493
ayy lmao.

>>13113493
yeah dude, im feeling pretty honored about it
skub sent me an invite before sherl0ck did tho, but he said it was fine if i send it to a buddy
how is freeleech supposed to help if everyones uploading and nobodys downloading off it though?
i got real fast internet both download and upload but i need something with lots of leechers to get a pay off

>>13113510
Download all the freeleech stuff and wait, gather dellars

>>13113362
i personally know multiple people (that i'm not going to namedrop on 4chan, sorry) that avoid the hell out of sows because of the various ways that the community can be less than excellent to each other. not just "because of "hate speech"" but that kind of stuff is very much a factor.

>>13113347
i'm obviously not talking about the more recent 4chan invites. (i'm mostly talking about people that have been in the arcade scene for years and never done nothin to hurt nobody)
>Why should established people have to change for newcomers
none of a certain group's established social norms should ever be reconsidered because of what other people think? surely you don't actually believe that, right? (and again, in this example it's much easier and more effective than asking everybody else to adapt) (mixing up your vocabulary can even be fun!)

>>13113395
i'm sorry to hear that, honestly

>>13113522
it has no reason to do with "hate speech". that's what i thought. don't try to move the goalposts. perhaps "hate speech" was never really an issue to begin with?

why dont u ppl talk about this on the forums instead of behind a wall of anonymity lmao

>>13113625
>post your opinions on the forums, don't worry :^)

>>13113625
>that entire post
I think you've answered your own question, el maoh.

>>13113522
Okay? As you said those people have already been in the arcade for years. They are already part of the community. You are talking about attracting new people? Stop contradicting yourself.
>you strawmanning.
I never said never, that's from your mouth. I'm for change if it's rational and helps the community as a whole, but myself and others are skeptical of this change. Don't strawman if you're interested in a real and productive discussion.

Since you're going to need this succinctly stated:

a) Tell me who you are referring to when the largest number of invites as of late are 4chan (but you claim community members who have "been in the arcade scene for years"?).

b) Present a more nuanced claim against my argument since all you did was strawman an either/or dichotomy out of a general rule which never stated to what degree the rule should be followed? Obviously I'm open to discussion as to what degree it should be followed so why not discuss that instead of presenting another unproductive and lazy argument?

>>13113655
I say what I want all the time idk what ur problem is

>>13113510
>how is freeleech supposed to help if everyones uploading and nobodys downloading off it though?
The idea is to download a ton of stuff that you can seed in the future.

>>13113676
I guess you catch new people jumping into freeleech and get a little upload in
I cant imagine that itll be much though because so many people are seeding

>>13113702
I make albums freeleech all the time. I also make big requests for troubadour stuff and there is a huge list of shit u can buy to contribute to the site. it is not difficult to get ratio.

>>13113750
yeah, im checking out the requests section now
if my ASC gets here and I still need some upload ill just buy shit because im impatient

>>13113780
check the OMY albums thread there is a big list of buyable cds there that I can put hefty bounties towards

which ones are you still missing out of that discography?
im cool with buying albums, but the only rare stuff ive ever hunted down is obscure shit in subgenres of extreme metal and some abandonware
unless theres like some place where you can just buy the album in flac im useless at this

>>13113866
there is a list in the thread of places to readily purchase stuff. if its importing from japan any number of forum members can purchase it for you. I usually put places to purchase stuff in requests if its plausible.

>>13113522
just admit it you're fucking dumb and the rules are to ensure there's a hugbox.
>>13113623
is right.

how many specific examples of cool+good people that are understandably offended by the use of slur X (to the point of not wanting to spend time with people that use it) would to convince you that adjusting vocabulary to not use slur X might be a cool+nice thing to do?

i wish iidx was still in the gay japanese techno era

I'm starting to go through the 7 folder, and all of the old styles seem to have really dull songs with awkward and not-fun charts. The numbers also seem to be way off half the time, some 7s feel like almost 9s or have single tiny absurdly hard sections.

Am I a scrub for thinking this or is that the common opinion?

>>13114570
i miss iidx eurobeat

>>13114579
On 8s now and I kinda agree with you. The difficulty feels like a measure of the chart's density, and not how hard the patterns themselves are. I have 7s I still can't play well and 9s I can clear easily, without using random either.

>>13114125
What do you plan on using it for? Isn't it broken for any games released after 2011?

>>13114419

Don't analyze. It's a waste of time. Start thinking once you begin timing 12s. Keep grinding until you feel like breaking your controller. Then take a month off. Oh and put that random back on and never turn off. Don't be stupid.

You peeps have no idea what you've gotten yourself into.

>>13114590
Y & Co. is still around at least.

>>13109033
nuh uh

>>13114824
StepMania died when it became an e-spurt. No one plays StepMania on a beige Compaq Presario keyboard anymore. No one puts their shitty Acer monitor through the wall after failing Maid of Fire for the nth time. There are no StepMania themes, just the same ultra high visibility noteskin and black lanes obscuring the background. Every simfile plays exactly the same (and sounds the same, too), because there are only so many ways to increase the density of the chart when you have just four keys, and only so many high BPM death metal songs to throw in for background music after the chart's done.

>>13113979
Doesn't seem like anyone left the community because of hate speech after all. You won't provide any examples even though there are only a few hundred players and everyone knows what goes on because of FaceBook etc (honestly you're probably making shit up). Meanwhile there are 3+ posters saying they intentionally don't get involved with the community or post because of social justice/identity politics. Again, the onus is on you to provide instances of where people are even getting offended. When I say offended I mean a person leaves a meetup/gathering, not Xantar showing up in the gay thread saying people can't use the word faggot.

>>13113625
I'm none of those posters but it's worrying how everyone has their real identity attached to a private torrent tracker. Good thing I don't interact with any of you and just leech torrents, I can't fucking stand the forums or any of the people.

>>13116861
i actually do hang out with some of these people rl, to each their own in terms of friends but if sows ever got shut down/konami sued (won't happen) most people have 0 plausible deniability lol.

>>13116861
>it's worrying how everyone has their real identity attached to a private torrent tracker
what, from a legality viewpoint or from an ew socialization viewpoint?
lol if the former and for the latter, it's pretty understandable that people into the same ultra niche shit would want to get to know each other

>>13115672
b-but random isn't fun

>>13117175
And random is cheating the chart.

>>13117175
>>13117180
This shit again?

>>13114974
Why would I? Been on sows 7 years before you got invited.

>>13117183
you know that is true

>>13117183
I don't think it's cheating, I just don't think it's fun. I still grind it out every now and then, but it breaks up the intentionally placed fun note progressions of the chart.

I don't take IIDX too seriously so I'd rather just play non-ran and enjoy myself more even if I'm not learning as much from it

>>13117185
That doesn't make you incapable of sending me nice emails.

>>13117204
skub have you ever had a girlfriend?

>>13117204
im already on sows but can i send you one anyway

i'm thinking about getting into ddr
what's the least worst foam pad

>>13117204
why do you feel the need to put on a trip in this thread? you are a very low-quality poster on sows, I can assure you nobody is excited to see you here either

Actually I am inrerested in sows can any one send me an invite?

>>13117175
If you want to have fun play something else. You're here to drain yourself empty and reach the skies. Once you've conquered PH!NX or any of those bitches you can take off you random and "have fun"...You go that?

I see some people using card readers for HDD rips of IIDX, how would you go about getting one of these and using it in IIDX or SDVX? Can it be a generic card reader?

>>13117850
make your own with acrealio

>>13117713
ok

>>13117856
Thats using wave pass though, I see people posting shit like putting your physical card into a reader, not swiping it. Is there a way to use like a generic card reader to work with eamuse cards? Also I thought someone posted that you cant just make a card reader for SDVX without wiring up all of the inputs too, so does that mean you can do it that with dao controllers by opening them up and wiring it all? Or is it possible to actually have a stand alone card reader for SDVX without having it be integrated into the controller?

>>13117210
I live in a condo with my boyfriend of two and a half years.

>>13117213
Thx bby

>>13117443
Because I'm handing out invites.

>>13117713
Fucking email me. Time-stamped dick pics welcomed but not required. skub@bemaniso.ws

>>13117896
Even the slot readers are still using the RFID tags, it just has that extra mechanisms to retain the cards during play.

I don't believe there is a way to use "generic" card readers. The real hardware readers do work and just require a different .dll, but why use them if you don't have a legit cab?

Correct on SDVX. If you are using the card reader it is assumed all the i/o is coming from the same device so all buttons/LEDs must also be hooked up through it. You could rewire the entire Dao controller with a small change to read analog values instead of pulses for the knobs in the ardiuno code.

Can someone explain to me what arcsin and usbemani are and why people want to install them on in their controllers?

>>13118361
red paint/flame decals and because they're ricers

>>13118371
I thought it was to reduce lag and sync issues though, although I don't understand the whole native usb support because I thought that the asc controllers already had that? wouldnt that make them worth purchasing though for the lag issues, or does it really make a difference?

When people build dedicated pc's for home setups is here a way to just boot up into the game immediately without having to turn it on and then open the game, or perhaps remote access each computer from my normal desktop so I dont have to get mice and keyboards for each pc

>>13118361
USBemani is a board that allows for PC compatibility without the use of adapters and less input lag compared to the other boards out there. Annoying thing about it is that soldering is required.

Arcin board is a board which has quadruple the polling rate of the DJ Dao board which allows for better scoring due to the polling being 1000hz vs 250hz. Acts as a "drop in" replacement, meaning that if you have 4pin setup, all you need to do it hook them up to the board. Can also work with the console games, but you need some soldering work.

Both use micro USB hookup.

we eventually got to remake our general gay discussion thread

"EMPOWERING"
Wow, sounds like you are a fucking snowflake from Tumblr. Hope I never see you at SVGL or anywhere I play.

>>13118969
you're one of the biggest problems on the forums in terms of identity politics being pushed to the forefront. hopefully you keep acting gay as fuck and get banned. cutriss et al are being super nice/reasonable. i don't want to see this community get torn apart by identity politicians.

This x100

is the 3ds region locked?

i kinda want to get one of the taiko games on 3ds

>>13119149
Yep, but there is a new exploit to execute imported games, and taiko is one of them, you don't get dlc, streetpass and all that online stuff tho.

how do i get into sows

i want to play other games than osu

topkek @ all you children who think questioning systematic oppression and the silencing of minority communities is an indication of any desire to be recognized as a particularly privileged individual

do you really think that the censorship of progressive discussion accomplishes anything at all

still handing out invites, send an email to skub@bemaniso.ws

So today we did this.
Downgrade successful imo

>>13119897
Kek, why did you do that?

>>13119905
Why the fuck not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>13119914
Yeah, you have a point, and how did you play it?, it was pleasing?

>>13119920
>Implying we even played it
Fuck that, besides you can't just map the deck to any old control due to the USBIO even if you wanted to so :(

>>13119936
Ayy, I thought you did, is hilarious to see that tho.

Why is sows full of drug addicts and alcoholics?

>>13119519
>oppression
>progressive
>silencing

cool buzzwords friend, but your colorful adjectives dont turn internet whiners into victims

someone make a sows thread for straight white males.

how did you get the led marquee to display info pulled from osu tho

or is that like an optical illusion

>>13120015
think about it like this: if you were autistic enough to find joy in pushing buttons to the sound of music yet self-aware enough to hate yourself but still interact other human beings, why wouldn't you be an alcoholic/drug addict

>>13120254
here, i'll rephrase the post to make it easy for babies like you to understand:
being upset about mods being inadvertently rude as shit and making people shut the fuck up for no apparent reason doesn’t mean you're trying to be a "special snowflake"

moreover, trying to stop people from talking about it at all accomplishes nothing

if you would like an invitation to join bemaniso, send an email (optionally with a photo of your dick) to skub@bemaniso.ws

>>13117990
but before that, faggot. i just can't imagine a young skub that didn't like cocks.

>>13120931
oh, yeah, i've totally been in a vagina a couple of times when i was like 15. according to homokun, i am not a "gold star gay"

>>13120898
What's the fucking point though. It's a place to discuss music games, why even bring your gender identity into it if you weren't trying to be a special snowflake?

It's entirely irrelevant to the topic at hand.

>>13120898
I don't know the full details of this particular situation, but I think the problem here is that you can't expect mods to patrol certain problematic threads. It's like asking a cashier making minimum wage to bring your meal out to you at a fast food restaurant. I realize that having no mods around can turn a thread into a ghetto, but the alternative is just banning the problematic threads altogether. Imagine if the threads were about fantastical drawings of imaginary lolis instead. Ignoring the legal questions, would you really expect mods to keep that kind of thread civil?

>>13120997
You act like the only thing people talk about on special interest forums is whatever interest they were originally focused on.

It's not like we were derailing important threads pertaining to rhythm games to needlessly talk about ourselves; it was solely in general discussion and VIP (which is just general discussion for people who can dickwag their ability to donate $5 to a website that already has a pile of cash its administration doesn't know what to do with).

>>13121020
Yeah, I understand that completely. The mods even said that they felt they weren't equipped to moderate discussions about social issues if they got too heated. It was just sort of fucked up that almost out of no where, totally unprovoked, two threads that were centralizing /lgbt/-talk (threads that were effectively dissuading people from gayshitposting all over the place) got nuked (not even locked or trashed).

>>13120898
being upset about mods not catering to you means youre trying to be a special snowflake

moreover trying to whine about it accomplishes nothing

>>13121453

Because it's so much more stupid than pushing buttons? Sows board is terrible. If you'd take out few interesting and useful topics it's literally the same as this, but worse. Out of 7k members only the worst communicate. It's bad even for 4chan standards.
Maybe I'm stupid, but I thought or believed sows would bring together people with common interest in music games. The most interesting people have empty profiles with 0 posts or comments and I can see why. They don't want to get involved with that shit. They literally discuss everything related to games anywhere, but on sows.

I seriously hope somebody start releasing cracked AC data to public so everyone can get back to basics. Public board, taking screens and posting scores. PSun is great, but with a bad, broken community behind it there's no use for it.

No butts or butthurting involved.

what the hell is random?

I don't want the HDD source to quit just because you want to dickwag your scores to your Facebook friends who don't give a fuck anyway.

I'm disappointed in him. I thought he was better than this. Every single thing in that video is wrong. He's missing the point entirely.

>>13120015

thats my bad I popularized drugs with a bunch of people who couldnt handle them.

>>13120582

arguably every sows thread is for straight white males

>>13121515

hahaha u are posting like brazoliange did u get banned for something. frankly if anthony and the other djhackers people manage to run something and provide hacks there is no reason u upstanding yung men couldnt go and source the data urself

lmao everyone on this board is a fucking whiner

>>13119519
>pushing a million buzzwords into a post
Fuck off. SOWS was not created to be a community for minorities or any of your snowflake "identities": It's a website for music gamers. You haven't even been on the site half as long as most of us and you're pushing bullshit down our throats. As someone else pointed out, "identity politics" and other related bullcrap have pushed multiple users in this thread from the community and the board. Every time people like you enter a community you try to mold it to your liking and destroy what is already good and well. Get the fuck out.

>>13121580
Congratulations! You missed the point entirely.
Of course nobody wants sources to be in danger any more than they are now. It won't happen. Don't crap yourself. I was only pointing out the absurdity of sows community.

Obviously the only one who has facebook account is you and so far I haven't taken part of any "dickwagging."

Maybe try to pick on my post again so we could perhaps have an interesting change of perspectives?

>>13121768

Was gonna post "petition to name the next thread 'aubreyless edition'" but I guess it's too late for that now

It's not "not catering"; it's being willfully ignorant and (mistakenly) destructive
>whining
do you just assume anyone who disagrees with authority is "whining"? lol

>>13121515
That quote is extremely hyperbolic, if you couldn't tell; recreational drug use with friends is really fun.

The sows boards are pretty moderately terrible, but a large number of the active posters are really tight-knit and make an effort to meet and hang out in real life, so there are a lot of unseen conversations and events transpiring that can't be understood by just reading the forums. If I had to say, I think I prefer discussions on sows over 4chan because they often feel more sincere.

Sows does bring a lot of people from various circles of life together through the mutual interest of music games. You just have to make a genuine effort (or be an otherwise "useful" member) to be "accepted".

I wouldn't say that the most interesting members are the ones who don't participate in the social aspect of the site. I've met a lot of US bemani people over the last year, posters and lurkers alike, and even people who shitpost as hard as I do are often really cool people.

It would be nice if everything could be publicly available so that everyone has the same opportunity to push buttons and bitch about charts and share scores, but the (very justified) paranoia and fear that comes with being what essentially amounts to an international online piracy ring means that unless some other really ballsy Japanese people with access to original arcade hardware are willing to risk jail sentences for the sake of something as trivial as giving people outside of Japan access to niche video games, it just won't happen.

>>13121721
If the discomfort brought on by the discussion of "identity politics" is strong enough to destroy a community, either the community was shit to begin with, or the ones being "pushed out" are overly sensitive to being negatively portrayed in a light they don't understand.
