DanceDanceRevolution A (AC)

I highly doubt Konami is going to do anything about offline/USB patches until A20 is released outside of Japan.

My brother linkens A20 to an extremely long location test, due to how the game's only been in Japan now for the past three months. I'm rather inclined to agree.

They're talking about EU patches for Ace. Unlock codes don't exist for most songs because the content isn't even on the machine in the first place (disregarding Extra Savior stuff, of course). USB patches to update A to later versions of the software would probably be a welcome thing for EU players.

SN2 through X2 had unlock codes because the game shipped with everything in the data in the first place, so unlock codes were possible. X3 through 2014 were not released in NA and EU (the only regions that used unlock codes), and either X3 or 2013 (don't know which) switched to adding songs in the data post-launch via software updates that happen every so often. SN had no unlock codes entirely, probably because Konami didn't think about that when moving the Asian regions to use eAmuse instead.

The EU version of Ace uses a version with the datecode 2017091599, which is almost two years old at this point. There have been 18 updates to the other region versions of Ace since then, and EU has likely not gotten any of them.

There are 2 date codes in Europe
December 2017 and August 2018, the December 2017 ones are the most common.
E amuse is completely removed from the game, the toggle is greyed out and stuck to off in the operator menu.

I'm not surprised I got the date code wrong there, though that still puts it at a long time ago for the version. I suspect that when the machines are shipped out, they are shipped with whatever is the current version at the time.

They’ve done 2 batches so far, one with 2017 data and one with 2018 data so eventually we’ll probably get one with 2019 data.

Does anyone have any tips for passing Possession 18 Challenge? I can almost beat it, I usually fail on the last couple notes. My best was failing on the last note. Thanks.

Autumn Co-op show is now on, so hopefully when you're in Olympia London, you might be able to play this. It's only here from 1-2 October.

It's still a 2018 build of the game without e amusement.

Anyone else asleep? I'm asleep.

how do they work?

To answer that, we need to talk about parallel universes

go on........

who even wants to play on an offline cab which hasn't had its its protective clingfilm taken off lol

"Literally no one" is the correct answer. I wish they'd stop bringing them here if they were just going to give us gimped bullshit.

tbh it's not electrocoin's fault at all
konami are the ones being difficult here

Considering the cabinet in Herne Bay has moved near the photo booth, it's still in great condition!
Check the Cain's Amusements Pier Arcade section located in the arcades section.

It's the EU's issue (GDPR). Until the eAmuse servers live within Europe, it won't be available.

So it's on Konami, like everyone is already saying.

Anyone know if there were any extra DDR A cabs produced? Or are all of them sold by now?

Electrocoin got more white cabs in stock but they’re running Ace and not A20, they’ll probably start selling A20 in the new year.
