Ouch.

Has anyone found a working beatoraja skin that isn't litone's idol skin? I'm getting tired at staring at coffee beans. Tried EndlessCirculation but it doesn't really want to play with me.

>>17929864
WMIX works for me, but you have to do pic related.
If you're fine with SD, spdframe, OADX, and most remi-s work.

dumb question: how do I select difficulty in Jubeat? I'm living in Seoul and there's a Jubest machine at the arcade but it's in Japanese and I have like 20 seconds to pick a song so I haven't been able to effectively spam the options

>>17932052

korea, so, you must be playing Clan, the newest release? on song select use the top left square to choose Category Select (it's written in latin letters) then Level then whatever level you feel comfortable with

WHY THE FUCK IS LR2 SO FUCKING HARD I CANT PASS A SINGLE FUCKING CHART IN THIS FUCKING GAME FUCK THIS SHIT

we just got a round1 and that is 100% the case

>>17933127
like they even have project diva and that final fantasy one and some game that is literally a kinnect in a cabinet

>>17933127
What the fuck is up with them neglecting pop'n? The one closest to me is 6 versions behind. Does nobody like slapping big ass buttons?

at the r1s nearby we have tune street and sengoku and I was bummed we don't have an HD cab but I guess were lucky to have what we do

there's really no HD popn in USA outside of private collections because the old cabs they replaced are now in USA while the new cabs are only in Japan. we need to wait, basically. I asked someone in-the-know at r1 and they said the game actually gets more play than you would think and they are debating upgrading to the modern popns so there is hope.

Is there a place where i can check IIDX charts

that person didnt know what the fuck they're talking about. r1 wants to bring over popn but konami will not let them, it will never happen. we have offline sd popns because they were sitting in jp r1 warehouses, just like everything else at r1 thats not brand new or american. speculation is pointless, just buy a dao and some samducks or play a different game

Why the hell does konami hate America so much.

Why foreigners have a boner for heavy IIDX setups? 20/50 is best and no reason to play more than 60/25

>>17938209
>20/50
I mean sure if you play nothing but Insane BMS or something.

>>17938209
I feel better feedback when I play on 60g springs. 20g is too light.

>>17938209
I feel like I press the keys maybe 1/3rd lighter than any other people I see play. There's some people who just pound the living shit out of them. The added resistance probably feels better if that's how you play.

>>17938817
Odd number SDVX is edgy so this is possible.

>>17938209
I play 100/50. The faster rebound is nice. Think Licht's cab also uses that.

>>17939257
Whatever the next one is, I hope it has a very explosive interface. Getting UCs on v3 feels weak as hell in comparison to the “fuck yeah bubble explosion” feeling you get from v4.

>>17941417

Didn't they just announce it was coming to NA in the playstation experience conference the other day?

>>17938209
I'm a foreigner and agree with you, though 50/60 is fine for only iidx too maybe since it's not that much heavier than 25/60.

>>17939354
Licht uses heavy to practice for KAC, right now he is running 100/100 to be ready for it.

Dolce's preference seems to be 25/60, U*TAKA's cab has 50/20, M!TSBA has 50/40. Though 1048 is the exception in that he prefers 50/100, though he doesn't seem to play that much anymore.

Where as MACAOD who is a korean ranker really good at jacks plays on like 25/35 on custom springs and hits really hard, so definitely can hit hard on light too.

>>17943584
Small chance unless they want to ruin their reputation there.

How was everyone's Thanksgiving?

I had a lovely dinner with my family at my house where my cabs and setups are in the living room, everyone was just banging on drummania or fucking around on IIDX without really trying or wanting to learn

rhythm games make for a somewhat awkward activity to do with your family if they don't know what the fuck is going on and don't really want to learn either

At least the turkey came out juicy, thanks /ck/

Not if you want to play on a full-size controller someday. Also you don't have a lot of room to move your hands on the 15+ / 18+ charts. If you want to be casual though, go for it

Hi, where should I go if I want to build a pop'n ASC ?
I've already seen this tutorial http://popn.ecxol.net/ but well, since it uses a psx controller for the board (wich means no usb I guess) I'm not that confidant to use it.

>>17944377

Is there a place where i can buy iidx original hdd's?

I am having trouble with this pattern, i am getting confused here.
Should i use one hand to do the 1 pressing and my other hand to press the other 2 keys.

>>17946697

depends which ones you want. the new versions are leased by Konami to the operators, so no, it would not be possible to buy those. the older versions you could get lucky and find on ebay or yaj

>>17948026
I'm looking for a Tricoro hdd.
Finding it on eBay seems extremely difficult though.

>>17947972
you can play it on mirror which makes the similar part found in "in motion" [a] much easier for me. i think i aaaed love is orange nonran though, so it might not be that similar ymmv

>>17948081
dude same i nced quasar recently it feels amazing

had exactly 80% during the break before the outro

>>17948751
It's nearly impossible to find stuff like this out in the open. Too obscure to be something a random seller has to offer.

You gotta be inside several secret clubs until someone tips you about some guy willing to part with his stuff.

>>17947972
This is the Normal, right? Just bring your right hand over

has anyone tried modding their house's light switches with sanwa buttons?

>>17948886
Yeah, i agree with you but yesterday i actually found a dude selling a Sirius hdd on Yahoo auctions lol.

>>17952155
How much?

>>17952155
You'll have a hard time finding at Tricoro HDD that still has Tricoro on it because they're still in use having had a consistent upgrade path up to now.

Games from the previous hardware generation are more common on auction sites.

>>17952155
LDJ PCs (tricoro+) we're updated exclusively online so you're going to have to find a decommissioned machine pull
not impossible but not likely

guys i take it back museca is actually fun

>>17953621
I've never played it before despite it being right next to the IIDX cabs at my round 1. Is it actually fun?

>>17953621
Museca is legitimately my favorite rhythm game to play. I guess I get to join the fans of all the other dead games in the graveyard.

>>17954128
Yes. It also have some good waifus too.

>>17954128
It’s very kinetic.

>>17954128

It just feels nice to play with the feedback from the big buttons and spinning.
Has a bit of that problem that sdvx does in that the difficulty doesn't scale well, in an hour or so I was playing 12s and 13s, and the highest i saw was 15 i think.
Also I don't think you actually lose your credit for failing a song, if there is even is any criteria for a "fail", so definitely a more casual game but still fun

>>17954499
there is no failing and everything besides 15s and some 14s is trivially easy but its a good game and scoring well on 15s is legitimately hard (i've heard it compared to pop'n 48s)

>>17954128
I'd enjoy it more if it didn't hurt my hands slapping the buttons. It's all hard plastic with not much give

How do I train to get better at timing?
Recently I'm seeing a lot of goods and low greats on IIDX charts.

>>17955039

>>17955039

>>17955039

>>17952155
why do you want one? do you just want to play tricoro on a cabinet? lol

the files are out there, even completely authentic drive rips/clones, but i have a hard time believing there'd be any legit machines lying around that haven't been connected to the internet (and inherently also not even turned on, since tricoro requires e-amusement) since 2013

despite this post being some dumb bait,
the lack of arcade etiquette here in the us is annoying, not enough trust for simple card lines so you have to wait behind the person, and even then sometimes people don't have the courtesy to ask if that person standing 5 feet away looking at the cab wanted to play, they just swipe another credit
I'm so glad I don't play dance games, I see normies doing stupid shit around the DDR and PIU cabs all the time

>>17956201

does step up only allow you to play songs you already played on other modes? or am i supposed to be progressing with the bosses etc

Why are knobs so hard for me

>>17958035
The 2 main folders are random old songs at a certain level. If you clear they'll go up bul goes down if you fail.

You can also play the songs you've already played in other modes too.

>>17954499
The big problem is that there's no way to fail out of a song unless you play something really far out of your league. Getting clear marks in games like Museca and Jubeat feels like a very hollow victory. You could fail out of songs in the initial Museca release but they removed it in 1+1/2 even though it would've been fine to keep around since the game was no longer a dumpster fire.

The "cheapest/best" option then is Infinitas.
If you buy a hdd you'll need to mod it anyway.

Word, thanks.

Any /g/ nerds in here?

I want to build a series of dedicated Bluestacks cabinets for games like VOEZ, Hachi Hachi, and Deemo. I’ll be using 21.5” touchscreen monitors for the base of the cab, but I need to build PCs that are optimal in performance and price specifically for Bluestacks. Whaddya got?

>>17959944
>>17959968
Oh, i thought you could just copy the files and play it.
Well thanks anyway i'll just play on Infinitas.

>>17959997
that idea owns, make sure you make one for arcaea

>>17960003
I’ve basically been benchmark testing with my touchscreen laptop with VOEZ, and it’s a completely different gameplay experience.

>>17959997

I had a friend that used a touchscreen monitor like that with his laptop and had this usb stick with android on it and would just natively run games like that
Playing stuff like cytus on a big screen is pretty cool,
don't know the specific pc you'd need but i'm pretty sure almost anything can run bluestacks

>>17960068
I’m just looking for guaranteed silky smooth 60fps no stutter gameplay. I’m probably gonna end up sticking one of these cabs at my local arcade.

>>17959997
>price specifically for Bluestacks
Just look for a machine that can dual boot to android, don't know if you can run games on androidx86

>>17960294
Would it be more resource efficient to use x86/BluestacksOS?

I imagine so since windows as an OS would no longer be a thing. I just need it to be equal parts smooth, reliable, and cost-efficient.

>>17955039
Depends, if you are like clearing 11s at least then you should go play a lot of 7s-9s that are based on 8th notes since you need to be good at timing those to have a timing base.
After that play stuff with simple 16ths and etc. and continue playing like 10s and easy 11s for timing. That should give you a good base for timing.
After you have timing down for 8ths and streaming then you can probably figure out yourself what to do next.

If you can't AAA 7s-9s though maybe then play like 4s-6s, any lower than that is probably a waste of time though for practice purposes.
https://djrea.blogspot.fi/2012/11/songs-to-practice.html songs listed here in "Timing" section are all good practice though if you can't figure out yourself what songs have a lot of 8ths and such.

j copped superbeat xonic on me switch, did i fuck up or?

>>17960689
No it's a fun game.

>>17960083
>I’m probably gonna end up sticking one of these cabs at my local arcade.
Why? And how legal would that be for them to actually accept it and run for people?

>>17960664
what the hell lol 1-3s are extremely hard to time and worth practicing even insanely good players try to max- them

>>17961885
I know that but I disagree with them being that useful for learning timing if you are just starting to learn timing, since there's too little notes to practice on.

>>17961901
eh my first aaa was a 1 and then i mostly played 5-7 stuff and now i score on things from 1-10

i'd actually say that like certain mostly-simple chord 9s and 10s are the easiest to time on, with mid level stuff being a little harder and 1-3 being way harder, but the difficult/weird 9s, 10s, 11/12s are the hardest

>>17961915
Well I mean I recommended stuff like 8s-10s just for that reason because they are the easiest. Should start from practicing the easiest stuff and then go into harder stuff don't you think?

Why do people play osu mania, stepmania and lr2 are significantly better for both 4k and 7k I don't understand why someone would willingly subject themselves to a garbage game when better alternatives exist.

>>17962248
Why do people play Stemania/LR2 when they could play DDR/IIDX instead?

>>17962281
because of accessibility
if you're trying to make a point that osu mania is more accessible than sm or lr2 you're a dumb idiot moron

>>17962281
stepcharts/BMS

>>17962281
stepmania has more well-made charts available to a wider range of songs than ddr, as well as variety/goofy charts

lr2 is similar although iidx is a game where chartmaking is not nearly as important as in ddr because people use random and it's much less likely that you make "impossible" patterns.

they both function as fresh experiences and training tools for people who already play iidx and ddr, as well as accessible ways to get people into iidx and ddr

how come half the songs in sdvx are touhou or vocaloid

>>17962834
You won't find much of those when you're at 18s.

Some vocaloid songs are fun though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3VMu6tpUF0

>>17962834

because sdvx is a cashgrab for plebs

>>17962834

>>17962248
People play osu because their friends play osu and they all watch other Twitch streams of people who play osu. If you haven't noticed by now, most people only play the games that their social circle plays and don't choose what to play on the basis of what they individually like.

>>17963166
osu is not osumania. It's also lot more accessible than stuff like LR2, and a decent entry into VSRG's in general. It has nothing to do with any of the shit you just made up.

Good job posting a video that you don't even understand, and neither does the uploader. That anti-spam thing doesn't work well solely because of how OD works in this game, which is that, first off all, you can adjust its difficulty rather than having rougher hard-coded difficulties (normal timing, hard timing). It is also less punishing on poor timing, which means that you can't break combo as easily. That, however, does not mean that you can faceroll your keyboard and get pgreats, it also doesn't fly at all on harder, and more dense charts.

>+ no keysounded charts
Factually wrong.

>+ auto converts
What kind of fucking stupid argument is that? Not only are auto-converts completely optional, there also more than enough (and to some extent, good) original charts solely for osu!mania.

>+ broken score system
If you're talking about osu's score system, you've really gone full retard. If it's about how pgreats are handled, then okay, we have this minor little thing. Really ruins the game, am I right.

>+ ranking system
It's far from perfect, but it's a good attempt at measuring difficulty in some way. Hardly any other rhythm games even attempt it. See Konami's attempts at assigning difficulties to their charts, it's fucking awful and it has always been.

Please, for the love of god, stop parroting dumb shit that bemanidrones feed you. Don't you have your own fucking brain?

wtf are you guys literally everywhere?

I picked up a taiko controller from china today. One tap in, I knew I'd made a huge mistake.

It's funny, they copied the main design, and it even looks like they used pressure sensors around the edge, but then they cheaped out and used a couple of those shitty rubber membranes balanced under a chunk of plastic for the actual surface. Sure, it was only 30 bucks, but I was expecting something a little better for the money.

So I picked up the PS4 one instead. They're a little cheaper now, 90 bucks isn't that terrible. Shame I'm still going to have to mod the fuck out of it, but at least it's native USB, right?

>>17964739
>That anti-spam thing doesn't work well solely because of how OD works in this game, which is that, first off all, you can adjust its difficulty rather than having rougher hard-coded difficulties
And that's why it's bad, an amateur """level-designer""" isn't near qualified to adjust it correctly, that's why hard-coded timings are better.

>>+ no keysounded charts
>Factually wrong.
Ok, "keysounded charts aren't the norm", there, are you happy ?

>What kind of fucking stupid argument is that? Not only are auto-converts completely optional
Most if not all beginners will start playing mania with auto-convert, wich is a bad introduction to classic vsrg gameplay
>there also more than enough (and to some extent, good) original charts solely for osu!mania.
A good chart isn't just notes at the right time

>
If you're talking about osu's score system, you've really gone full retard. If it's about how pgreats are handled, then okay, we have this minor little thing. Really ruins the game, am I right.
I was thinking of mods
>It's far from perfect, but it's a good attempt at measuring difficulty in some way. Hardly any other rhythm games even attempt it. See Konami's attempts at assigning difficulties to their charts, it's fucking awful and it has always been.
My problem with the ranking system is that because of how it works it'll encourage people to play and choose charts for their rank rather than for having fun, that's why it's a bad thing.

>Please, for the love of god, stop parroting dumb shit that bemanidrones feed you. Don't you have your own fucking brain?
Yeah, that's why I don't play osu anymore

+Hidden and sudden are useless garbage
+Speedmods are pretty garbage
+Little to no original content, everything is (poorly) stolen
Osu pretty much does everything except availability worse than lr2/beatoraja/stepmania, so no point in playing it.

Speaking of sim custom charts, are there any must play customs on KSM?

>>17964795
The tallest player I've seen is like 6'6". He uses lift for the bottom half of IIDX.

Also he's Japanese.

>>17965242
>Most if not all beginners will start playing mania with auto-convert, wich is a bad introduction to classic vsrg gameplay
No, it isn't. You're building early muscle memory and there's hardly any room for bad habits. If that somehow results in you being permanently rendered incapable of looking for proper charts, I don't know what person you have to be.

>A good chart isn't just notes at the right time
Yeah. And my point stands. I don't know what kind of garbage you saw that made you conclude that literally everything is bad o!m.

>encourage people to play and choose charts for their rank rather than for having fun, that's why it's a bad thing
Now this one really baffles me. I'm not sure if you're just grasping at straws or are legitimately unaware how nonsensical this sounds. If you're finding ways to play games that aren't fun for you at all, there's something wrong with you, not the game.

>>17965329
>+Hidden and sudden are useless garbage
Hidden is just in there because djmax and SM have it. It doesn't affect you or your score, what's your point?

>+Little to no original content, everything is (poorly) stolen
I fail to see how that is an argument for the game itself being bad. If it has soundtrack of 10 other rhythm games, in fact, why isn't a good thing? Moral problems? Stepmania players give just as little of a shit, just saying.

>+Speedmods are pretty garbage
Agreed. That's the first good argument here. They really are.

>>17965627
>If you're finding ways to play games that aren't fun for you at all, there's something wrong with you, not the game.
The Osu community takes ranking way too seriously, making the whole COMMUNITY-BASED content centere around ranking.
That's why there's so many poorly designed charts/maps in every game mode.
So yeah, there's something wrong within the game because of ranking.

>>17965627
Give me 3 good reasons to choose osumania over any other vsrg. You can't, it's shit

"East, West Japan: 7 player will go to finals for each division (3 for Group A, 3 for Group B, 1 for total score)
Asia, Korea, America : 1 player will go to finals for each division (Total score only)
The 6th KAC Champion seeded : Chris Chike will go to finals"

love that konami is so salty about filthy gaijins beating them at DDR that they give 14 slots to Japanese players just to have a chance
wait until they find out that they're aren't even 14 players in Japan that can clear 17s

>>17966978

and there isn't even one westerner who could reach top 14 on iidx or popn so whats your point. ddr is a joke game anyway ita not 2003 anymore

>>17967022
t. Brosoni

do rhythm games cost less to play in japan?

>>17967067
compared to what

>>17967022
cool opinion, still no excuse for konami to be xenophobic in the one game where japanese/asian players have serious competition

>>17967071

Ah. Missed the 3 in total bit.

>>17966954
I'm not recommending osumania over stuff like LR2, I don't know what gave you that impression. I'm just saying for people who're starting out with those kinds of games, osu!mania isn't necessarily a bad choice. That being said, there are some things that is has that other games don't.

>easily accessible multiplayer that works well
>simple UI customization allows you to make your game look like DJMAX, O2Jam, Stepmania etc.
>process of browsing though the song library and getting new ones is really simple
>star rating system gives you a good estimate of how difficult a chart is
Yes, it improves on nothing in terms of gameplay mechanics, but I don't know why people just completely neglect these positives, when their arguments also include a whole lot of shit that has nothing to do with the gameplay.

>>17967748
>easily accessible multiplayer that works well
probably the most valid one though stuff like SMO still exists and works perfectly
>simple UI customization allows you to make your game look like DJMAX, O2Jam, Stepmania etc.
nearly every free rhythm game has this
>process of browsing though the song library and getting new ones is really simple
basic filters, doesn't even have folders
>star rating system gives you a good estimate of how difficult a chart is
awful algorithm that often misjudges charts, even etterna is better

>>17966978
>14 slots to Japanese players just to have a chance
It's just more players for non-Japs and Brosoni to fucking mow down. The skill gap between and best and second best in Japan is insane and Brosoni jobs super hard at KAC. Why the fuck would anyone in their right mind compete for a chance to be humiliated by real top rankers, considering that Konami doesn't even spare so much as a dime on commute or hotel expenses for players from Japan? It's a waste of everybody's time.

>>17968833
You underestimate their desire to put "KAC Finalist" in their Twitter profile.

You can literally see the 100 yen coin slot on the cabinet how much do you think it costs

>>17968961
>japanese arcade operators will eventually go out of business as inflation lowers the revenue they make every year and they are powerless to change the amount of tokens per play

>>17968966

Konami is the one that loses the most in that scenario, which is why they have special paseli credits that unlock more shit and stuff like eamuse subscriptions.

Also it literally costs 100yen for a credit so you're still dumb

>See about a half dozen card holders at my local DDR:A machine.
>Can't work up the will to play a round because I feel like I'm going to faint before I finish a single 10.

>>17973626
It's not very challenging. Clearing songs takes no effort and it has really lenient timing windows. It has a few unique gimmicks but they are not interesting enough to make the game stand out like SDVX's knobs, GitaDora and DDRs self-explanatory attributes, RB being touchscreen, etc. I feel like the spinners are overused, despite not being used to their full potential (very little consecutive spin objects on the same button unless they're directed in a specific direction), while the pedal is very underutilized outside of a very select few charts like Invitation from Mr.C. The buttons feel weird to push due to their flatness and don't offer the same satisfying feedback compared to pop'n or IIDX, but that could've been easily overcome if the charting was better. There are very few iconic charts that you remember even after weeks of playing them, and those moments are monopolized by patterns that were annoying as fuck (see any chart that spams direction-specific spinners a la Redshift. For those that never played this game, imagine if IIDX had charts that made you spin the turntable CW or CCW. It's THAT obnoxious). The game relies mostly on being pushed as a sister series of SDVX. While it had more effort put into making a marketing push for it than Beatstream, they never recovered from its initial launch.

Museca had a lot of ideas that could've been explored and there's still room for several quality-of-life modifications. Cross promotions with other Bemani games could've netted a handful of fans who previously had no intention of ever playing the game.

>>17975210
Continued.

A third inbetween timing judgement would've worked out fine since holds don't continuously contribute to combo and make scoring feel more satisfying. Many of the Graphica missions use the same songs so when I was going through the missions I would FREQUENTLY play the same song twice on the same credit, and still see them pop up later on, and the UI should let you view more than one mission at a time because looking through what you have or have not cleared takes fucking forever and you still need to choose the mission to see the song, difficulty level, and draw power recommendation. Museca also needed Rivals. Premium Friday's were a mess, limited time events were announced to suddenly and gave you too little time to participate (while this is definitely more critical to American players, Japanese players who might be in the middle of a really busty time are also left out in the cold) and reviving New Generation songs for a temporary amount of time instead of making them available by default comes off as a total dick move since Museca doesn't really have an unlock system other than "play X amount of time between so-and-so and blahblahblah" and buying other difficulties for songs and purchasing EXH charts of certain songs in SDVX.

>>17975210
i wish museca had less use of the spinners. so many charts would be more fun if they just didn't make you spin the buttons so much. it's physically uncomfortable and doesn't add much. i also don't know why the fuck they don't port scratch songs from iidx and have you using various spinners like turntables there's so much potential there

i also wish they'd cross more bemani music and make holds feel better/use them less.

other than Touch My Body and Brainpower i haven't had "wow that was awesome" moments with the game

>>17975389

>>17986212
Seriously??
Playing alone is just fine if you're going into a practice session, but you got to have somebody besides yourself to compare scores with in person.
Not having that only hurts your ability to enjoy the game, in multiple senses of the word.
The elation of nailing that song gets that much better if you have somebody to share it with.

>>17986599

I'm perfectly capable of improving my own scores by myself, i'm not a top ranker so the only score that should matter to me is my own. There's no need to bring other people in it and trying to force a competitive environment.

However going to the arcade with friends and playing different games or having a fun time together is always enjoyable

sort of, all the keys work and it scratches last time I went in september which is better than when some of the keys were literally broken but it's still shitty, theres zero resistance on the scratch and the keys randomly stick. the right machine still has that monitor which is zoomed in, but they did position it slightly better so there is less glare from the games behind than before.

I want to know why Arlington show up as "R1 APM" on the "shop ranking" (and internet ranking), but grapevine shows up as "000" on both. someone never named the GVM location on eamuse?
