Donkey Kong (International)
Comment: Sadly a reproduction machine (not an original), which means LCD and poorer quality controls. It's in good condition for what it is, but wouldn't reccommend playing.

They still definitely have Star Wars, Gunblade, and Sonic Racing, you could see them in the background of a preview video they did before opening (albiet switched off and partly dismantled). Guessing everything other than Initial D and the games they have currenty is gone for good then.

Just thought I’d add a handful of the machines weren’t actually theirs and were loaned from other companies so might explain why so many disappeared in the move. Initial D was basically fully working before they moved so if that’s not set up yet it’s probably not got a space yet.
tedward6185 years agotedward618
Fusion's CRT just doesn't show red colours anymore now. Pads were dropping holds as well but other than that, playable.
Dancefreak5 years agoDancefreak
I didn’t go to the closing party, I wanted to just forgot to get a ticket, was at the Nintendo meet all day though then just went off to play stuff in alt after. Glad the machine was still ok anyway when it closed!
tedward6185 years agotedward618
ALT is great but if it had arcade games I'd go much more often
tedward6185 years agotedward618
I was at the closing party, Fusion was still fine. Hopefully it'll still be decently maintained in Sheffield!

I’d feel sad about it closing if ALT wasn’t blowing it out of the water.

wow the python 2 boot is initialising network for most of its boot sequence iirc

I’ll try and do it next time I swing by to work on it. Can only do it whilst the rooms not being used. But it’s surprisingly just a blank screen for the most part compared to all the other boot sequences.
lmaosamsddr5 years agolmaosamsddr
Is someone able to get a video of the machine booting up for me? I’ve never seen a python 1 boot, stuff like that interests me. If the machine does get converted to Stepmania can someone send pics of the PCB, since apparently the python 1 is setup differently to the python 2

Shame tedward618, you've been stellar in updating the place. Hope you manage to after the move! It can sometimes be a thankless task updating UK gaming places, so I thank you for your time :)
tedward6185 years agotedward618
Real shame that it's moving to Sheffield. What was great about the location in Nottingham is that it was only a 5 minuite drive away from me. It's still not too far, but the convienience of it being close was great. On the upside, they've said the main reason why they're moving is because of space issues, so potential for more arcade games!
Dancefreak5 years agoDancefreak
Venue to be moving to Sheffield in September/October. Hopefully someone else will be willing to fix up their fusion and convert it because I certainly can’t afford to travel and do that now :(
dsd-teamuk5 years agodsd-teamuk
personally it be better on stepmania and choose different theme and mixers ! then will be more popular to play
Oni-915 years agoOni-91
There’s a good reason there’s not allegedly many Fusions left in the wild.
Dancefreak5 years agoDancefreak
It’s gwtting converted to stepmania because of the fact almost nobody even casual people would want to play on fusion and stepmania is the easiest alternative to put into it. It’s being done strictly so they can reverse it if they need to though so they could possibly put it back on request but it’s not been started yet, still waiting on some more parts for it!
lmaosamsddr5 years agolmaosamsddr
They shouldn’t convert the fusion to stepmania. There aren’t that many fusions left in the UK (afaik). I’m hopefully gonna come here in summer.

I come for the beer and not a lot else.

A bit of glare on the bezel, but probably one of the better public DDR machines in the Midlands. ‘Player 1 down is a little insensitive, player 2 left a little insensitive, currently in the process of being fixed up and upgraded with stepmania of some description. Waiting on new parts first. 29/06/18 UPDATE : Bad condition. Both pads are very insensitive.".
