>have enough money for a decent iidx and sdvx controller
>psun webpage is down so can't even get a pcbid

Its not like I wanted to play anything but DDR anyways.

>>13466006
Same shit here

>get told to PM mouseish

Who ye quote?

>>13465915
So, I wanted to get into IIDX but no idea how. Any help /jp/?

>>13466174

Here's a handy step by step guide on getting into IIDX

1. Wait for PSun to come back

Its really that easy

>>13466174
1. have a modded or japanese ps2
2. pirate or import iidx ps2 games
3. buy konami official ps2 controller
4. enjoy

it's a great day to have kshoot

>>13466206
I mean for pc!

>>13466006
>mfw i'm in that exact situation
i guess i still have guest mode and kshootmania

>>13466211
1. download lunatic rave 2
2. download bms files
3. buy a konami official ps2 controller and a ps2 to usb adapter
4. enjoy

>>13466220
Not Djdao?

>>13466211
1. get into sows
2. download hdd data
3. wait for psun to come up
4. enjoy

>>13466223
dj dao makes fine controllers but it's not a wise investment for someone who's never played before

>>13466230
I was looking to go all in on this. So I figure I'll just buy a high end controller and not waste time.

>>13466238
what if you find out you don't like it and waste $300 on a controller? a koc is serviceable for any skill level despite what people will tell you, you will almost always see japanese cs players and insane bms players using jkocs in videos.

>>13466260
That's part of the fun. If I don't like it at least I know I went big and might pick it up again. Or I really get into it and drop every other music game I play.

>>13466274
>gambling hundreds of dollars on a game you've never played before
>fun
ok

>>13466287
It could be a neat paper weight so its a win/win in my book

>totto randomly throws out a happy hardcore song
>its miles better than anything ryu* has done in years

The fuck is the point of keeping ryu* around? He was already getting stale 5 years ago but now its just depressing.

fucking golden week, i ordered a gitadora eamuse pass on the 1st and it still hasn't arrived at the forwarder

>>13466223
Purchasing a $300 controller right off the bat isn't really how you "get into" something, anon
Starting with a koc is a good cheap way to start playing and see if you like the game enough to warrant the fancy investments.

>>13466321
Line 4 Ruin is really good

Is the Bishi Bashi AC data on sows cracked? I dont want to download a huge file to find out I cant run it.

ban everyone except totto and nekomata from making 2hu arranges thx konmai

>>13467231
Doesn't seem to be cracked at the moment

>>13467238
While you're at it, ban every non-nekomata+ song cause that shits been getting bland as hell

>>13467238
also keep touhou shit in the containment game sdvx

>>13467300
the only bland one recently is Time again dude

>>13466171
>Who ye quote?
Why is thy autism raging?

>>13467300
I love Funny Shuffle but fuck the chart

>>13467373
>>13467300
Oh thought you said ban nekomata+ but you said the opposite, sorry.

I like all like all of Nekomata Master because his music makes me feel all warm and fluffy

>>13467381
>ban nekomata+
afro knuckle is +

>>13467388
But Afro Knuckle is jammin'

Sorry I think the conversation got mixed up somewhere.

>>13466321
>totto randomly throws out a schranz song
>it's good
>totto randomly throws out a happy hardcore song
>it's good
>totto randomly throws out a fucking Necrofantasia remix
>it's good
what can this guy not do?

>>13467397
Yeah the extended version is pretty good too, link related.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAHHFc-gIeI

Why aren't you playing this /jp/??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn1jV9XkOgI

>>13468281
I still don't understand RB. And that hitsound is annoying as fuck.

>>13466006
I had a PCBID but It got deleted when my HD failed. Is there anyway I could get it back?

>>13467409

Be sound director of a decent Bemani game.

>>13468325
Not really. Try to work on your hdd and see if you can at least recover ea3 file.

>>13468335
damn

If psun comes back would Americans be blocked the same as the Japanese/South koreans/etc?

>>13466006
>>13466073
>>13468325
It's dead, guys. It's not coming back.

>>13468377
I sure hope not. The wait for a good rhythm game has made me impulsively buy Rhythm Heaven. If that happened with the site, I don't know what I'd do.

>>13468377
it would be amusing but i highly doubt that would happen

>>13468377
Why?

>>13466006
Is there a way to get SDVX II to work without psun? I've searched for a compatible version of e-amuemu but it either crashes or doesn't work at all

>>13468813
Because you can play legit SDVX and IIDX at Round 1 now.

>>13468859
So psun for europeans only? In that case I don't think anyone will work on bringing it back. Pretty sure Round 1 doesn't mean jack shit. They'll maybe ban local regions or something.

Konami is a dick and doing anything to "please" them isn't goal to pursue. Instead sows just needs to do things in a way not to get too much shit.
Psun will probably come back in slightly different form for most people and even if there are attempts to control "official" regions there are several unavoidable workarounds you can use.

>>13468859
And? R1 has been around for a while now I'm pretty sure konmai doesn't give a single fuck about psun.

>>13468849
I can get into the game, but I can't get past the insert coin screen even tho it's on free play

I want a controller, I'm fairly novice so it'd be for LR2 and DJMax. I can't really justify getting a DJDAO, I don't have the patience or skill to build my own and I can't find any old Playstation controllers.

Is there any alternative at all or am I fucked?

>>13469970
Hold that thought, found this on eBay, would this be my best bet?

>>13468859
>SDVX
not if faggots are hogging the machines all night

>>13469991
if it's less than $70 yes

>>13468859
Yeah sure just let me travel almost 800 miles across three states to the nearest R1. Even when there is at least one R1 in each state, it's still going to be out of an acceptable traveling distance for a shitton of people. Even if PA were to get one anytime soon, it would mean jackshit to me since the rumored location is still a two hour drive away from Philly. Until there comes a time where you can't take a piss without some of it trickling on an AC, psun is here to stay.

Also why should we do it out of "respect" for Konami when all they have done for the past couple of years is shit on their fans by systematically eliminating their IPs? I'm fine with n-1 rule since it means the data won't be leaked like a dozen different times corresponding to each update and won't give us too much attention or involve leakers putting their asses on the line numerous times.

wow the ps1 games have cool looking discs

>>13470238
How terrible do the buttons feel on the controller? Just looking at it, I can almost feel the sticking keys.

What's the cheapest way to turn a USKOC into a decent controller for PC use?

>>13470289
I modded mine with an arduino with unojoy. Just get a cheap clone of a uno or leonardo and you can use uno joy or use lenoardo to map turntable to mouse and buttons to keyboard

>>13469991
if it's 5key like i think it is it wouldn't be much use

>>13470445
that's quite clearly a 7k uskoc, think of how ridiculous the tt spacing would be if it were 5

With konami going to hell, how does the future look for bemani?

Is it making enough dosh for them to keep it around?

if you dont like that you have to suck dick to play your stupid weeb game just make your own server.

how unwise would it be to play doubles with an fp7 and a koc

>>13470477
Konami probably won't go anywhere anytime soon. There are plenty of willing investors to gladly grab control. What would remain if that were to happen? Who knows, but considering arcade scene is relatively large part of Japanese community I don't think they're particularly interest in killing it off.

>>13470583
Well done, but did you write a server just to boot up the game? That's a slight overkill.

>>13470728
Do you have any specific concerns? Differences in input lag might be a problem, but you can get used to it. Some things you may not be able to hit with your koc's hand on the arcade, but again it's something you'll most likely quickly adapt to when the need comes.

>>13470583
I tried that e-amuemu shit but I'm bad at everything

I just want to try SDVX

>>13471362
eamuemu doesn't boot anything past iidx lincle. This boots pendual and sdvx3 offline. It saves scores locally too.

Holy fuck the 11 wall
I started a year and a half ago on 4s and I've had some rough spots along the way but nothing compares to trying to break into 11s
The jump in density is the biggest yet, random (which helped a lot for 10s and below) just turns everything into a clusterfuck, and for the first time my hands are getting fatigued just attempting the charts

>>13471796
>for the first time my hands are getting fatigued just attempting the charts

that's good, you're adapting! keep going!!

>>13471771
Well am I gonna have to suck your dick to get this then, or learn how to code my own?

>>13471874
Just move to Japan faggot. Shit's obviously fake.

>>13471874
he just ran ealocalserver through a .net decompiler dude

>>13471925
What is ealocalserver? Does it save your scores?

>>13471979
no, it doesn't have any card support at all

>>13472007
Do I need a pcbid for it or what do I need? Do I have to be on sows? How do I get this

>>13471796
I feel the same way. I've been at it for a few weeks now and I think I have 4 11 clears. It's brutal. There are a lot of charts that are honestly quite easy and then the last 10 seconds is just a clusterfuck. I think maybe I'm happy just sticking with 10s

If anyone wants a bemaniso invite, feel free to email me.

skub@bemaniso.ws

does anybody here play PMS with a keyboard?

>>13472581
Is this one of those websites where I have to circlejerk in a forum and be a "contributing member of the community" to keep my membership?

>>13472835
nope
you just gotta seed and keep your ratio up

>>13471925
>>13471892
Sorry I was loopy at the time and didn't see you mentioned Pendual and SDVX3 and were being a rusemaster

Also getting pretty bored with my life and would like to be able to play some of these games but, eh, what can anyone do

>>13471796
Practice harder 10s if you get like 300 misses on 11s. You want denser charts preferably at high bpm.
Fatigue means you're wasting energy. Try to make smaller, but more precise movements.

Consider picking up few BMS songs for better variety. 11s tend to be either too easy or too hard.
If you do get into BMS I highly recommend changing judgerank to normal or hard.

>>13466274
i did the same thing dude, i bought a fully upgraded svre9 then upgraded fp7 and just recently got my popn
didnt waste time with cheap shit, something looks fun i just dive in
having a blast

>>13474429
Yeah I regret buying my KOC. Thing feels like shit to play on.

I haven't played since the takedown. Losing all of my saved scores and unlocked songs with no way to get them back or even save my scores again killed most of my motivation.
It sucks because I'd just broken into clearing some 9s too.

>>13470583
>>13471925
Hardcoded RC4 key and XRPC responses. They didn't even bother reversing the crypto.

Out of curiosity does anyone here struggle with CFS?

>>13476206
what's that

Is LR2 the best iidx sim?

>>13476514
As far as public ones go yeah. It isn't necessarily the best, but mostly has everything you'd need and come to expect from ac data.

>>13476549
Whats the best private one?

Still no card service for pop'n omni.

I just want to save scores so I know what I passed, especially when I can pass this 42 but not this 38

I know Im late but its probably worth mentioning c18h27no3 has an extended version on Grimorie of Crimson

>>13477274

Protip: check remywiki if you ever want to know whether or not there's an extended version of a song

so lunarbeat is the best sim then?

>>13477928
no, it's too underdeveloped to be worth playing
LR2 is still the best.

I'm trying to remember the name of a touchscreen game where you're just a dot going down a single line that curves and zigzags with some obstacles coming your way. It looked pretty cool. Does anyone know?

>>13478304
Groove Coaster

>>13478353
that's not a touchscreen game, it has two giant nipples you press and wiggle around
but that's probably it

>>13478353
>>13478549
That's it, thanks. I never saw the actual machine so I assumed it was a touchscreen game.

>>13478221
Why? I looked at videos and features, it looks awesome. That training mode, looks really usefull. What's thje problem with Lunarbeat?

Is there any secret to getting good at games like IIDX other than just "practice" or "play more"?

>>13480594
Git gud.

>>13480594
use better technique and keep playing songs that push your limits. play every day if you can, even if it's only for an hour.

>>13480594
Hover your hands

>>13480621
Hoverhand

>>13472054
Sows only.

>>13480594

no

>>13481103
Yeah no your wrong. ealocalserver is a thing outside of sows. Post the lewdest touhou cosplay and I'll give 4chan ealocalaerver.

>>13475780
Baked in responses in, yes. Spada Omnimix RC4 only, no.

That thing boots a fuckton of current era sows Bemani, SDVX2 included. Apparently all the new games need the same server bits thrown at them to run.

And skub, fuck off. Who made you 4chans goodwill ambassador? We don't need more niggerfaggots clogging up the pipeworks. Dead community is best community, keep the newfags out.

pendual fucking when

>>13481172
When the next IIDX comes out, just like always.

Do I need different PCBIDs for different games? (spada, omnimix, sdvx etc)
Yes I do have one, from a while ago

>>13481576
nope, one works for all, just don't have 2 at datas with the same pcbid running at the same time

>>13481576
You can use the same one for different games

>>13481651
>>13481653
Excellent, thanks boys

tfw playing a scratch heavy song and you feel your tits jiggling

>>13482293
Lose weight fatty.

>>13478221
the pros seem to greatly outweigh the cons

>>13482454
As soon as lunarbeat stops relying on LR2 skins with all sorts of menus and buttons that don't do anything because it's got its own menu, I'll start using it

What's the most recent song that has the same rating for the hyper and another charts?

>>13482454
what wiki is that

>>13481167
Will this do?

>>13480594
For IIDX this is a good watch, though in my case I was already doing most of the things he recommends.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5kTIofPZLw

Also, use Random.

Is lr2s pgreat timing easier than console/ac timing?

>>13484164
Yes.

>>13484153
I like how totto and neko had better songs here than in their shit event.

>>13484173

Its a nice try but not even a tingle. Dig a little deeper and I put this on Mega for you.

>>13483849
Go fuck you'reself

>>13485505

Does skill correlate with how much time you put into these types of games?

>>13486119
No some people start being able to play top difficulties.
If you can't start at least near top, give up and kill yourself.

>>13485380
having gh1 songs in there is lame

>>13486119
pretty much yeah
i started playing iidx 3 months ago and could only clear 6s and thought i wouldnt ever be able to clear anything higher but now im breaking into 9s and 10s

>>13484164
Depending on song's judgerank. There's easy,normal,hard,vhard. Normal is close to AC, but still a bit lenient. Hard is slightly tighter and vhard is silly.
You can change judgerank to whatever for all songs.
In general normal is fine. I can easily switch between ac and lr2 back to back without any changes in timing.

>>13486119

yes. if you want to be good at them it is required that you play a lot

>>13485380
the could've at least used a good war on drugs song....

Why does everyone hate rerave so much?

>>13493121
tfw you clear an 11 and hear someone behind you clapping

Which does IIDX need more of, denpa or touhou?

>>13493283
2hu. All denpa is terrible, but at least some 2hu is decent.

>>13493179
>>13493121
tfw no arcades

>>13493327
The new remixes of touhou are pretty good too.

>>13493327
>at least some 2hu is decent
good bait

>>13493327
Everything needs more touhou

what does voxandra's jumanji smell like?

>>13493283
Denpa, at least it's original music

>>13493179
tfw everyone in the arcade sucks at rhythm games and start crowding behind you because you just completed the hardest songs on dance maniax.

>>13494200
What's the point it is original if it sucks?

I still can't break into 9's and it is fucking killing me.

Maybe I think I am supposed to be progressing fast when its supposed to take a long time and I am just not ready.

>>13494716
how long have you been playing for?

>>13494847
February is when I actively started to play. I've played a few time before.

>>13494716
>>13495069

as long as you're pushing yourself every time you play and you're playing a lot I wouldn't worry

beyond that if you feel you have a particularly deficient playstyle you could try addressing it

How long did it take you to start clearing Anothers?

I just played for the first time since the shut down and went on to get far better scores on my old songs. This keeps happening.

>>13495069
I only began to clear 9s around the start of this year and I began playing back in 2007.

>>13495775
>I only began to clear 9s around the start of this year and I began playing back in 2007
damn u bad

>>13495848

>>13495270
Another 8 from recent styles are ezpz, got there in 3months

Anyone order a turbocharger before? how long was the shipping?

>>13495069
that's about when I started to take it seriously and I can clear some nines
just try them, you'd be surprised at what you can clear

>>13495069
Three months is about how long it took me to start getting into 9s as well, along with getting a flood of AAs on light 7 charts.

>>13493427
It is until Nekomata makes denpa.

>>13497418
Nekomata denpa would be sick, can't wait to hear it

>>13497418

Everyone's been there. Just relax, keep playing and you'll progress naturally.

>>13494434
>>13493327
If you really think the MOSAIC.WAV track in IIDX sucks it's your taste that sucks, not denpa.

Is there a replacement webui or are we just waiting forever for it to come back?

>>13498239
Thank you for playing

>>13498176
Nah. All denpa is terrible. Same with 2hu.

If you hate 2hu you need to get the FUCK of /jp/

>>13498176
You got that backwards, the one with shit taste is you.

Why is there no rhythm game that instead of discretely assigning scores to certain ranges of accuracy (300, 200/GREAT, GOOD etc) instead just uses continuous, precise flat values as scores?

>>13501786
Dummy, it'd be impossible to instantly tell how accurate you were on a note.

Does anyone know how im supposed to get ealocalserver? (the sows link is fucking dead ;_;)

>>13501943
what

just make it output how many milliseconds you were away from an absolutely perfect hit 0ms hit
that'd be enough

>>13501786
Because people don't react as well to fluid scoring metrics like that. It's nice to see an unbroken combo of perfects/marvellouses/whatever and if you use straight numbers it's both hard to process when you've got 10-20+ notes per second and not as much fun.

I sure wouldn't mind it as an option, though.

>>13500902
>>13500907
why is an bms player sows only?
does it crash at all like lr2?

>>13502524
mite b cool but it looks like it's a rhythm game in the same sense that audiosurf is

>>13502641
>in the same sense that audiosurf
yeah probably

love how epileptic it is though

>>13502420
There is still no scoring reward for players who have a better accuracy, I think that is retarded. If it's too easy for pros to full combo a song, then there is absolutely no way to make a competition between the two

>>13502891
then just assign it a score anyway, for example 500 = 0ms
and 0 (a miss) = +-500ms

>>13502450
could make the numbers flash the closer they are to a completely perfect score

>>13500744
I had plans to play IIDX with the bottom four and first three top buttons with the stick for the scratches, but I ended up getting a uskoc before I got a fightstick

>>13500744
I tried using mine for stepmania but mine only has 6 buttons so I have to put my fingers in an awkward position for it

>>13500761
It's really not hard or expensive to make a homemade minicon if you want to do this

>>13501068
I managed to get that one non-sows to the boot screen, but of course, since i have no pcbid it just gives me the network error.

>>13501786
Guitar hero.

>>13502641
It looks more like a super epileptic Groove Coaster to me.

>>13503980
Huh? Guitar hero is the worst about this. It's purely hit or miss, and all the scoring is based on combos. One of the worst scoring systems out there, unless they changed it since I last played it.

>>13503972
Do you still need legit pcbid when using local server? Have you tried creating a random one keeping similar structure?

>>13500907
What's to stop someone from mirroring it outside of sows?

>>13504333
People being reasonable and understanding? As much shit as sows gets most of them are silent observers and gladly stick to rules.

Lunarbeat is in development and receives relatively regular updates. One link is worthless considering there's still lots to do.

Is it possible to play Sunny Park offline?
This sucks.

>>13504379
>receives relatively regular updates
hasn't it been dead for 4 months now
which it wouldn't be if it was fucking open source

he also sealed it with some sort of christian magic so it breaks every .net decompiler i've tried

What can we do to stop new players from discovering Bemani?

I'm serious. Could we somehow spread a rumour that downloading these games gets people thrown into prison? Anything we can do to stop the flood of new players would be a step towards reviving PSun.

>>13504644
Revive Guitar Hero and Rock Band, which is already happening. Those games are what killed interest in rhythm games in the first place.

>>13504644
Make sows strict like bemanichan

>>13504644
Restrict data to people who signed up before 1/1/2007 and assign a single pcbid to each of those people. No one else can play. Ever.

>>13504644
You could try actually educating new people instead of trying to hide everything from them which only makes people more likely to not understand the policies and fuck everything up.

Trying to push people further away will only make things worse, no matter what you do people will always find out about bemani and be interested in getting into it.
You're a special kind of retarded.

>>13504708
I like this idea, but 2007 is too strict. How about 2012 or 2011?

>>13504774
"New people" are retarded. They will never learn the etiquette, just as Redditors will never learn to respect 4chan culture. The only way to deal with them is to purge them.

>>13504470
I do believe there is a way, but it involves hex editing.

>>13504814
Let me guess: You started playing this year, didn't you?

>>13504790
>"New people" are retarded. They will never learn the etiquette
If you teach people, some will learn it. If you wall everything off and refuse to let new healthy members in, nobody will learn it and they'll go running around posting pictures on social networking and publicly ask for help getting the games working because nobody was there to tell them not to or how to actually set it up in a safe environment.

>The only way to deal with them is to purge them.
That isn't possible, there will always be people interested and there will always be retards. There's nothing you can do to "scare them away."
There are two options - we can either convert and educate the ones who are willing to learn, or we can let them ALL be retards and drag everything down even faster.
I repeat, you're a moron and you have no idea what you're talking about. Your exclusive elitism is incredibly immature and embarrassing.

>>13504853
You may be right, but I honestly don't care. Anyone who can't clear at least a Lv.8 song on IIDX shouldn't be playing the games in the first place.

>>13504844
That's a pretty epic reaction image. I've never seen anyone use that a million times before.

>>13504875
What if they are working their way up to clearing level 8's?

>>13504844
>shrugging girl
You don't even know who that fucking is, do you?

>>13504875
>Anyone who can't clear at least a Lv.8 song on IIDX shouldn't be playing the games in the first place.

I'm sorry, but do you realize how retarded of a statement that is?

>>13504885
You can't just "work your way up". Some people are talented, some aren't. It's genetics, son.

>>13504892
Cry me a river. Light-7 is a waste of everyone's time, and you know it.

>>13504925
>Cry me a river. Light-7 is a waste of everyone's time, and you know it.
That has nothing to do with anything.

You do realize the main reason people seek home setups is because they don't have fucking access to real cabs to learn to clear an 8 on?

>>13504925
>Light-7
oh sh*t look at this oldbie everyone

>>13504790
Pls don't bully. I've only been on sows for 6 months but I've never broken any of the rules. Shit's easy if you're not retarded.

>>13505032
Should ban old players tbh. most of them are retards.

>>13504600
There's no magic in Lunarbeat. If you'd go so far as to decompile to continue developing start your own project. It takes time, but isn't overly complicated. LR2 is good enough anyways.

>>13504790
>"New people" are retarded
If so you'd see everything being leaked constantly. Do you see it happening? I don't.
It has been stated countless times that most people want to play. Many don't even care about the community much less leaking anything and for who? 4chan?

>>13504925
>Some people are talented, some aren't.
It may be so around at the very top, but you can very easily work your way towards 20s BMS just fine. Maybe not competing quite at the top, but oh boy are there many players and scores to beat. Why should you care about the very best?

>Light-7 is a waste of everyone's time
It's a waste of time towards higher levels.

What counts as a clear, anyway? I can pass songs with Bs and As but am nowhere near AAA yet

>>13505075
only hard clears count

>>13505044
>Should ban old players tbh. most of them are retards.
This is why I hate newfags. You have no respect. No respect for anything.

>>13505075
AA is fairly average. What are you playing at?

>>13505075
>What counts as a clear, anyway?
a clear

>>13504925
Light-7/Normal isn't a waste of time to people learning to play.
Just saying.

>>13505086
>This is why I hate newfags. You have no respect. No respect for anything.
Why would anyone respect retardation?

>>13505086
You are literally retarded if you can't see how fucking dumb most of the oldfags are.

Care to explain how?

>>13504644
Send them a hard BMS songs and have them record themselves play it with proof that it's them.
Only the ones who can actually play hard songs are worthy of playing Bemani games.

>>13505256
>B-but.. Muh secret society of rhythm games..

>>13505110
i would rather they banned fucking glas already.

>>13505467
Like it or not, it's the secret society attitude that keeps the community manageable.

For instance, look at >>13502104. Here's a poor sod who's already in sows, but he can't download ealocalserver. In any other community, someone would've mirrored it for him. And 500 other cockgoblins would've downloaded it alongside him.

All of a sudden, we'd have 499 more idiots playing IIDX on Twitch. Losing one honest player is a small price to pay to maintain the integrity of the Bemani community.

>>13504708
Rather than using 2007 as an arbitrary date, I'd restrict data only for people who joined before the invite system was in.

If you were invited by someone, you were already late to the party.

>>13505586
So restrict data to people who don't play anymore? Sounds great

>>13505610
Lot of people who have been there since the beginning are still playing.

I'm still playing and joined in 2005. All the recent leak or people streaming were actually members who joined relatively late. People who have been there since the beginning and who are still active care enough not to do that sort of shit.

>>13505634
This is pretty hardcore levels of false flagging

>>13505610
It would solve the newfag problem, permanently.

People playing Bemani games is incidental to keeping the community free of leakers and idiots. If no one can play the games, we've done our job.

fuck yall sows fagots

i'ma stream online every day ;)

>>13505586
How about a simple forum style system, anyone can join, but only people who reach a certain "level" can actually download shit.

>>13505688
Thats what it is like right now. Only Power Users can download AC data. But the current PU requirements are a little too low.

>>13505763
Except it's not that simple to keep an account.

>>13505768
what part of keeping a 0.4 ratio is difficult to understand

>>13505975
You'll be surprised

>>13506049
Its not difficult if you actually seed

>>13506051
That's the problem. Some people are too dim to know how to seed.

Do you guys know if red octane pads are any good? I found a guy selling one with the control box for 50 dollars.

>>13506264
is it a soft pad with the foam insert? or the metal one?
idk anything about the soft pad but i think their metal one is p good
either way 50 bucks is a good price for a dance pad

>>13506324
It is the metal one.

is iidx allowed to be my favourite game even though im shit? or is that not allowed

Are you able to change your DJ Name when a new style is released like in SDVX?

>>13506114
My internet is shit, i stay away from sows because i'm unsure if i'd be able to keep the seed rate.

>>13506573
Get a seedbox then. Or just seed 24/7

I missed the last freeleech because it was announced via a forum post rather than the front page

tfw no pcbid

tfw 4 pcbids and all i play is iidx

Do HDD rips of the arcade taiko games exist? I'd really rather not import a jp WiiU.

>Shit suggestion
Why? I think it's quite decent

>>13506573
As long as you aren't downloading anything, it can't go down. It's really not as scary as it seems.
Either get a cheap $5 seedbox or set up a separate computer to stay on 24/7 with something seeding, then you can get most of your ratio from bonus points.

>>13506475
Aren't you able to change your DJ name whenever you want?

Did you uncheck read only?

Is Theatrhythm good? I've not had good experiences with touchscreen rhythm games, mostly due to poor detection and obscuring the screen. It seems like Theatrhythm solves the latter problem, but I'm still worried about the former.

>>13511692
When i uncheck read only it just checks itself again.

>>13498176
>>13498910
Hey Tuxdude.

>>13511550
try pressing test when the error comes up, otherwise just give it about 5 minutes
i know at least for saucer you have to build nvram the first time around

>>13511783
I'll try giving it some time then. Do i just leave it running in the boot screen?

>>13511709
Touchscreen is optional--you can choose to play with buttons.
I've played Curtain Call and the DQ one. Overall I would say it's a pretty good game, although the song selection is kind of blah.

>>13511879
Is there any challenge or does it end at lukewarm? I enjoy some console games but project diva was the only one I've seen that gets even slightly difficult, and that's mostly with bullshit scoring mechanisms.

Managed to get rid of the message, but now i get "bad" in the network check., but i heard that knit doesn't require e-amuse.

>>13511902
It only gets a little difficult, but nothing really like project diva's top difficulty (you mean F 2nd, right? since the 3DS project diva is mostly a joke).

>>13511922
>(you mean F 2nd, right? since the 3DS project diva is mostly a joke
3ds one is project mirai. Looked like a joke and I've never played it. I'm talking about basically anything since 2nd for the PSP, though recent releases have branched out from "jam on one or two buttons really fast" for the hardest songs.

Yeah, if that's the hardest it gets I don't see the point. It's annoying as a frequent rhythm game player when games are clearly targeted at very casual players, since I just can't enjoy boring charts at all. Like, who the hell plays easy on project diva? Why can't I start at extreme? So annoying buying the new game because I have to spend a couple hours just getting the game in working order.

Then I see people online who have full perfects on every easy and it's like... why waste your time?

What happened at Konami that caused DJ Troopers to end up being the last good style?

>>13511950
Modern gaming happened.

>>13511946
I totally agree with you. The Theatrhythm games are basically marketed to casuals, what with card and character collecting being elements included in the game. But at least they'll let you play at any difficulty from the get-go.
I only really played through them because I own a Gateway

>>13511905
Does it, though? Seems like it would require it. I don't know, though, I've only played it, not tried to run it.

I finally broke the 9 wall boys. Passed 17 9s so far.

>>13512449
grats buddy

>>13512449
What the hell, how did you pass 8s? The patterns start getting confusing as hell for me

>>13505387
Just replace pcbid field with any numbers or letters in ea3 config. In fact I don't think you need anything at all if you're using ealocalserver.
If you DO need pcbid while offline then there's a local check in which case if you know how you could reverse engineer that shit out, maybe.

>>13512602
Keep practicing and naturally you'll begin picking out patterns, etc. When you get to 9s you can start using clickagain to see which songs are easier/harder. Good way to keep track.

>>13512602
Go to your failed listed and just keep playing those songs and you will slowly get better.

>>13512654
I've started recently clearing 9s, but what's clickagain? Aside from being the name of one song.

Someone mirror ealocalserver already.

>>13512686
http://clickagain.sakura.ne.jp/cgi-bin/sort11/data.cgi?level9=1
You can sort by clicking on either one of those buttons just below Level 9 title where you see ver,ver, title, title, etc.
Pink columns show relative difficulty for normal/hard clear. It's somewhat useful. Mostly I'd pay attention to notecount. See what you can more or less clear and practice songs that have slightly higher notecount than what you're comfortable with.
Of course it's all relative. You may be able to clear say song with ~1k notes on 9s, but not 10s, but in general for early levels it's a good way to keep track, because mostly you're limited by your ability to comprehend and hit notes which comes down to notecount.

>>13512698
Like publicly? There's a working mirror on sows. You may also be able to find one baidu.

how do i surpass the 11 wall

>>13512698

mega[.]co[.]nz/#!O5Nm1CTR!X_Kvfgu_rIyK7btakH-hZKgirBsIwNx0jK5m33jvB9I

Here is ealocalserver. If anyone has a PCBID they can donate to alt.ru-9o4tk1wg@yopmail.com id appreciate it.

>>13512799
Play mendes hyper. There you have one very easy clear.
First of all determine where you're stuck. Can you read the notes? Can you hit them? If it comes down to reading just force yourself to read by playing charts you're having hard time with. If it comes down to muscle memory. Well then it may not be automatic and fast enough to push 11s. In that case you need mass practice of anything until there's little effort needed to hit notes.

>>13512799

just play shit that's hard for you

>>13512905
Not to offend anyone, but this is really shit suggestion. You can't get good by playing 12s when you're barely clearing 9s. You have to know your weakness and work on them. This doesn't always mean play harder songs. Pushing is necessary, but waste of energy when you're trying to improve the wrong thing at the wrong time.

if random is cheating why was it added before hispeed

>>13512936

I'm assuming the player has common sense and does not start playing mendes black when he's working on 11s

and no, it's the most catch-all effective suggestion possible if he's interested in clearing

>You have to know your weakness and work on them.

he's at "the 11 wall," his weakness is literally everything, and the fastest way to clearing more songs is to play songs that are hard for him

>>13512741
Neat. Thanks.

>>13512803
>.exe

>>13512960
Ok. So, say you have to pay quite a lot of attention to hit double and triple notes. Now how the hell does it help you to play dense 11s filled with them? Especially if you more or less skip half of them (I'm exaggerating). Play close to your limit until you can relatively comfortably hit those notes and then move on.

His weakness might not be everything. What if he's comprehending charts just fine, but isn't able to hit them? It does fuck all more to push hard 11s and wastes energy. It would be way easier to work on hand control, etc on easier charts he's still struggling with, but can mostly hit.

>>13512993

What else would it be ya dumb dumb, ealocalserver.gif?

>>13513028
The point is more about running an exe provided by a trustworthy anonymous member of the internet.

What got me comfortable with dense patters was playing cs on .8 speed. 11s and 12s had finger movements I wasn't used to.

>>13513038
That's the one linked on sows, it's fine

>>13513017

you're over thinking advancement during a stage in a player's development when it does not pay to over think things

>It does fuck all more to push hard 11s and wastes energy.

if he's stuck on 11s then it does the opposite

he is stuck on 11s and wants to clear harder songs. he needs to grind songs that are hard for him to do. stop over thinking ways to approach the issue because it is not helpful at this point in time

unless he has serious playstyle deficiencies he needs to fix, this is the solution, and it has always been the solution. it's very tiring addressing these kinds of questions because inexperienced players are sometimes resistant to simple advice, and then you have _other_ inexperienced players throwing out overcomplicated advice

please trust that (except for the playstyle thing, if that's an issue) it really is as simple as that right now

So if I wanted to make some controllers for myself, how are chink parts until I can get the cash for real ASCs?

Sucks playing SVDX with a KOC upsidedown

>>13513113
Simple advice, yes. So is if I say know your weakness even if you're shit at everything. There are still some things you're worse at then others and those need to be worked on first. Everything said it is common sense and generally you'll know how to improve.
If you call me inexperienced then I call you grumpy guy who worked his way up by struggling so much that he wants everyone else to struggle just as much, because he thinks this is the only way and of course to spread grumpiness.

It's isn't rocket science when it comes to motor skills. You need lots of experience and practice to improve. As I said it does not matter to your brain whether you struggle with over the top 11s skipping half the chart or playing something slightly easier and doing exactly the same thing. Then suddenly what you know you can easily hit the notes! Time to move on.
If you can't read the chart push so hard that your eyes pop out until you can. That's the only way, but might not be relevant to op at this point.

If you believe such simple advice is overcomplicated approach then what can I do? This is common sense seen throughout the whole process at every step. If you still haven't learned that there are many things involved in progression and believe the only solution is to grind harder shit then fine, do whatever.

I didn't get to insane bms by forcing until my ears bleed. I took it one step at a time trying to improve the right things the right time. No need to force, just lots of practice, patience and conserving energy by NOT pushing worthless shit I can't hit.

>>13513259
I'd save up for an asc, cuz arcade parts plus shipping is gonna run you about 200 dollars for sdvx buttons and knobs

>>13513308
It would be about $50 for chinese shit though

I think I'll do it, it'll be a fun electronics project and when I want to step up I can give it to a friend or something

>>13513259
what were you using for the lasers with your KOC?

>>13513284

I don't really see the point in arguing about it beyond the guy's playing 11s, and only cares about clearing new stuff. if you don't believe that the absolute fastest way to do that is grinding stuff that is difficult for you, and you don't believe me when I tell you that it is, then I don't know what to tell you

it's like pulling teeth trying to tell people this. there are undoubtedly a million ways to improve your combo and clearing but that's the fastest

i'm the guy that's at the 11th wall and i'm trying to master all levels b4 i go higher and i definitely have some problems like not being able to hit doubles or triples in high density charts so i probably should focus on that right?

yeah, spend a lot of time playing whatever dense stuff's giving you trouble and you'll improve quickly
