With the shoddy work they put to the machines, the fix had better be free.Quote: al2k4
I guess Gameworks listen to player feedback then. 
If only some arcades around here would do such a thing (I'm looking at you Dave & Buster's)
Hell, if Gameworks would open an establishment here in NYC, I'll go.

For those that have access to an X machine, can you do me the favor and see where Calico Cat is on the list when sorting by Series? In SuperNova2, the song is under the M section when sorting it by series.

I believe I spotted it in the C section. I'll have to take another look whenever I go back there.

Does anyone have a picture of the main title with the icon that indicates that edits can be read/placed on the DDR X cabs?

Which begs the question...What about Aoi Shoudou / BLUE IMPULSE (for EXTREME)? A or B?Picture link

In Extreme, it's under A. As for SN2/SN2, I don't know.

"F***ing exhausted." |
i still cant figure out why sobakasu always sorted under F.
anyway, shitty machine is shitty. gameworks at AZ mills got a dedicab, and i have to say i'm less than impressed with this machine. the pads are awful, the sync is horrible, and most importantly, the pads are awful. you cant feel where you are when playing doubles, its never consistent with when you step and when you get a judgment, dropped freezes, the whole 9. every thing you expect from a 10 year old set of unmaintained pads, and only for $12k. i'll give it this though, the game looks pretty. hopefully CnC will be smart enough to just get an upgrade. also hopefully, they dont remove ITG2 again. i think they learned from the complaints they got last time when they had extreme and SN, X and ITG2 will be sweet.
to give you guys that havnt played it yet an idea of what the syncing and pads are like, i have 24 excelents on this on R21. i figure that should translate to something like 50 perf and an SDG like it does for most other songs of this same difficulty, i have a PFC on it on CS. its impossible to stay on beat just by watching it, simply for the fact that the pads arent consistent in one direction- meaning you never know if you need to try and step early to compensate for occasional lag from faulty pads. if you step early, you might get a good step out of it causing an early great or it might trigger late for a marv. if you step on, it might trigger a marv or a late great. if you step late(no one is going to step all marvs every time) and it triggers even later, c-c-c-c-combo breaker. i got kinda lucky on this to not break combo at all, no dropped holds.

I went to Gameworks in Illinois again with a friend. We went to DDR X and I told him not to get his hopes up because the pads were horrible. To my surprise they were fixed and working phenomenally. The 1P side seemed almost perfect, and the 2P side had minor issues with the up and left arrow.
The lag was still there though, but as long as you step to the music and early to the arrows on the screen, your fine. AAing is still hard to do with the lag, but I AA'd alot of songs yesterday on that cabinet. I got as far as the Extra Stage (Saber Wing), and almost AA'd that too.
Now all that needs to be done is fixing the lag.
Oh and get this. Turns out Gameworks did not fix the pads. They were extremely angry about the purchase and phoned Betson about the many problems with the machine. Betson responded by sending out an employee to fix the machine for free.

where you there when they fixed the pad issue? what im pretty much asking is, did they happen to mention anything on the HD lag issue or anything?? or maybe tell the arcade owners anything about it?

"TAKING IT TO THE PIE" |
So has anyone that we know of tried putting an edit file, renaming it to the US version of the file and putting their USB stick in an X machine to see if anything happens? They've already reported that they can enable edit mode, but no one has seem to have tried to use any edits yet.

Who has? We know to enable EDIT MODE, in the Japanese machines, the operator can enable that functionality but there are no known US locations where this is the case. So, it's assumed it's enabled in the same way but as of yet, nothing's happened. Post #6197 · Posted at 2009-06-22 10:01:38am 16 years ago

June H. at BMS reported a similar event at his DDR X machine.
Thats because its the same DDR machine lol. I see him there almost every time I go there.
Lets see what Betson does about the lag problem now... I am sure Gameworks made it extremely clear when they talked to the employee from Betson that many of the players are complaining, and the arcade techs have also noticed it as well and can't fix it.
I wonder if you can hook up another monitor to a DDR X machine, seeing as it runs off a computer essentially. That could set up a temporary fix until the problem is resolved if anyone wants to try.
EDIT: Also here is a video of how the lag is, as well as the fixed dance pads...

Please know that the Goods are not associated with the pads, but with the lag and me playing to the music incorrectly. It seems as long as you play to the music perfectly, you can still manage AA's.
EDIT 2: Also...

MWAHAHAHA

"shakeitdon'tbreakit" |
So I wonder what exactly they fixed on the pads?
Also they need to fix the lag
Hopefully....we will eventually see some new machines with fixed pads and/or fixed lag
