Re: Hello

I LOVE IIDX. I played that and Jubeat Prop when I went to Ohio a few months back when I started playing rhythm games. Ive been playing IIDX 16 Empress on my ps2 closest thing I can get to playing it.

My brother got me a copy of Empress for my birthday back in May and I have been loving it. Most of my experience comes from 9th and Gold.

I love Ohio, but have only visited a couple of times. If you went there a few months back and played IIDX and Jubeat, i'm guessing it was either at Glass City Con or you went to KDog's arcade. I don't know many places that'll have those machines up there lol

Actually I went to a place called Gotcha Gachapon in Colombus. They had Jubeat Prop, IIDX 22, Guitar Freaks, Drum Mania, Taiko, and some DDR machines.

Re: Hello

Ah, I heard Columbus had a good arcade but I didn't realize it was that Bemani friendly, lol. And Virtua On? Shit yeah son!

Thanks for the info; next time I visit I'll likely try and stop there.

Re: Hello

I wish there were some good arcades in my area I could go play Beatmania at. The only one around where I live has IIDX 3, and the only time I went there they were repairing it.

You'll have to ask dAnceguy or Sunfan if they know of any, I don't know northern Alabama that well.

I know Geogia had a scene last I heard, you might be able to day-trip to someplace over there and get a fix.

I'm near Pensaola, east of Mobile and I can promise you there ain't any down here. We have a broken SuperNOVA2 and two broken Pumps and that's it for the scene. I'm gonna to check out Panama City's Dave and Busters tho there's a really slim chance something is out there.

I can't drive and I don't think my parents would like driving all the way to Georgia just for me to play Beatmania. xD

Re: Hello

Ah, gotcha.

Re: Hello

For now Ill just have to keep playing Empress. Thinking about getting a Beatmania controller with ps2 connector and usb. Got any recommendations?

[MixMasterLar]

Re: Hello

Whoa, have you been playing on controller? Ewww lol


I'm guessing that a Dao would be out of your price range, so next best bet is looking on Amazon for a US Beatmania + Controller. If you must play it on PC you can also geta PS2→USB converter on there for like five bucks, but if your already playing on PS2 and haven't played all of Empress yet I'll just focus on that (playing on PC comes with a host of issues that you don't have to worry about on console)

If Amazon doesn't have what you want, playasia.com is also a good source, and so is eBay

Re: Hello

Ikr so bad to play with a default controller.
I actually ordered a Beatmania controller of amazon but it was very cheap plastic and we refunded it.

Re: Hello

I mean, was it the Konami one? They are made of plastic.

Because you ain't finding an arcade like one for less then 400 at best. EDIT oh snap I double checked and Dao's FMP has come down in price . Still really pricy for a new player though

If the Konami one feels really cheap, there are ways to mod it t make it respond closer to the arcade. I've been playing on my modded USKOC since 2008 and while I myself suck at the game and can only pass 9s, I've seen friends nail 12s on it
