DDR X2 (AC) (International)

There's a JP machine somewhere in Australia (mentioned by PumpKinetics) and another in Indonesia as mentioned by Silverhawke. Both are, IIRC, also incapable of accepting pad unlocks.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before, but Paris has an X2 machine at La Tête dans les Nuages (http://www.ltdn.com/). I went there a few times when I visited Paris the last two weeks. The pads are horrible and the game has FPS issues. And it's an upgraded X if I'm not mistaken.

Here are some pics:

I was the one who put the Unlock Code 1 so yeah we talked about that before. We are waiting for more unlock code and an update

That's not quite right/complete. In order to put this matter to "rest":

Konami China has only:
1) jubeat "ripples"
2) GFDMXG1

IIDX 18 is testing and REFLEC BEAT should soon too, according to someone from Shanghai.

Konami HK/Taiwan(/Macau too?) has real jubeat and GFDMXG2, plus these series:
e-Amusement
DDR
GFDMV*
pop'n music
real IIDX
real REFLEC BEAT (I can only assume the mainland will get a unique build again. literally)

Not comparable at all. Good thing Baohui makes killer Pump It Up machines for the mainland, and China has their own Technika 2 network, otherwise they'd have nothing hardcore to play over there that isn't a knockoff.

When I said they market for "China", I meant that marketing comes from KoA, not KoC. On the other hand the Chinese vocal versions of the songs in X2 were produced by the Shanghai offices according to the arcade credits. Which makes PERFECT sense. >_>

Tom's World (mainland) claimed they had a DDRX in a Shanghai location, even though DDR clearly isn't available in the mainland... (they pictured a Japanese widescreen dedicab w/ LED lights). Of course this past May when I went to go find it, the workers there were clueless and the website was updated literally a day after to say there is no DDRX in Shanghai.

but I'm now pretty convinced there actually was a DDRX dedicab in Shanghai at some point, however brief that point was...

edit: well fuck me. Tom's World changed the page back http://www.tomsworld.com.cn/cn/02_products01_01_01.php?ID=2
anyone in shanghai wanna go get trolled (or strike gold)

So, how to know X2 that can unlocked songs ?

Which version that can unlock and which version that can't ?

---

Machines from USA/PAL can unlock songs. Asian and japanese versions (dedis and upgrades) can only unlock via e-amusement.

---

im not expecting DDR X2 to be unlocked now. I'll just look forward for the next DDR game
to play DDR X2's unlocks and the initial songlist of DDR X3

^^ Yeah, we're better off waiting out the next game since it doesn't seem that we will be getting any updates from Konami (of Asia) for our X2 machines. And there hasn't been any new unlock codes in a while.

---

If anyone lives in/near/planning on visiting East TN, another X2 has arrived, and this one is in a normal arcade. :3

I've tested this machine out earlier today, and can say that the pads are in excellent condition. Now, granted, I wore my worn-out sneakers today, but I had no problems with the machine as a whole. The one downside is that the place in question is a two hour train & bus ride away from me. However, it was worth the trip.

Hahaha that's like the exact distance from me too.

---

Hoo... i see.

So that means USA version machine definetely must buy in order to unlock songs.

I will tell my local gamecentre to buy the USA version machine.

---

just buy the US HD and put it on the JP cabinet. problem solved (i think)

I don't think that'd work out well considering the US hardware is different than the Japanese.

Ow... i will try it.

---

Neo...read the post before yours...

in an expanded sense... that question has been asked, discussed and answered before.
and cabs from US is nigh impossible due to high shipping cost. i've only seen one cab from US, that is DS SN.
and that's also why there's no ITG in Indonesia, you know.

also I don't think an arcade owner which said arcade was actually just a branch and thus all actions are controlled by the main offices would obey a single person, so meanwhile... enjoy your (newly arrived) DDR X.

on topic, I'm so happy with the local highscore feature. encourages competition

Well, i've seen Japanese version of X2, on a US SN2 cabinet. Rofl~ And none wanna play them due to the sucky pads & the sucky unadjustable screen display.
