Updated state of machines in Arcade Locations.
Can't say I'm surprised, any machine that goes into Troc goes into disrepair and the staff don't give two fucks about it.

I guess I'm lucky that I play mostly the one machine that gets hardly any use

Has the beatmania 3rdMix gone?
i went there briefly and didn't see it around anywhere but i didn't really have time to go looking for it.
if it's gone then that kinda sucks..

Last time I was down I didn't notice it at all, this was about two weeks ago. I think the GUITAR FREAKS was missing too.
So that's another two series killed off in the UK, sigh...

Been gone a while now.
I think it left when Technika joined.
Where is Pro 2.
They got rid of Pro 1, my last and only chance to play Space Fantasy, and replaced it with Fiesta EX, which really doesn't add a whole lot to fiesta :/ Which is still there, right next to it.
Not that happy about that decision.

eurgh, this is depressing news.
i guess we can hope beatmania's been sold to another arcade or something.
otherwise what do they do with machines that are removed? what is "standard procedure"?

For all we know, it could be in storage in the building, but that's just speculation unless proven otherwise...

Standard procedure for most arcades would be to replace it with a machine that generates more revenue per day, and then scrap it.
They could sell it, but no arcade will want it, and even though their machine is in great condition, and featured as a prominant prop in a music video, I doubt a private collector would pay much. I don't think that's worth the effort for them.
I'm guessing they'll just store it somewhere on-site, and maybe bust it out again if they ever make a "retro corner" or anything. It loses them money every time they put it out in public and turn it on, but it's an irrelevant ammount of money.

No one said the PIU Pros were gone. AFAIK one is still on the middle floor.

The one on the middle floor (next to the dodgems area) has pads that stick and whatnot, the other one (near Fiesta etc) was pretty much spot-on last time I checked.

The ITG2 isn't in storage, someone actually bought it off them.
(Or so I heard)

When I last saw it, it was off.
The only time I saw it on was last year, it was a generic SM with an assortment of DDR/ITG/random simfiles.

When I last saw it, it was running stepmania 4 default theme.
The packs appear to be some kind of old stepmixes, there's a pretty decent Anisakis file but mine and Chewi's is a little better :V
There was a neato Go Beyond file too.
Back when it was a "DDR Ultramix theme" stepmania cab, you can play infinitely by selecting "endless" mode, because it says you get 4 lives but really you have a regular life bar.
Nothing else is very good about it though.
Not that any of the above was actually good.

I was there late January.
It was running an Ultramix Theme. I refused to play it because it didn't look playable being windowed.
