So, this seems to be the dedicated Ground Kontrol topic now.

Carry on.

Ethan doesn't play bemani much anymore, from what I've gathered. :[

I'm more concerned about his well-being than his gaming habits; I'm hopefully just being paranoid though. (I get it from my mother)

Ethan's perfectly alive, I saw him on AIM a couple days ago.

I played there on Monday. Heh. The left side was poop, though.

Okay, glad to hear it.

Phylicia: glad to hear it's back up now.  I was there Sunday; missed ya by a day.

I saw there very briefly, just a game.

Wrong verb? :wink:

saw = was T_T

You would have been able to catch me kicking ass on Joust if you had been there a day earlier.

Cross-post from DDRFreaks, so you all know what's up!

Hey folks,

Well, I hate to disappoint, but DDR continued to be problematic... to the point that we had to ship the motherboard back to the distributor in the hopes that they can repair it.

It went out today and as of right now I don't have an ETA on when to expect it. I'm sure we'll have to wait till they get a chance to look it over and let us know.

Again, all of us at GK sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Hopefully the beat will, you know, go on ASAP.

I'll post more when I've got solid info. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks for the update!

What do you think the chances are of it getting back in less than 3 weeks?

Alright, here's where we're at.

First: DDR is back up. We received the board back from the distributor and were able to boot it up again. I believe it's still exhibiting the same problems, but we were lucky and it booted. For now, we're not turning it off unless absolutely necessary!

We did order a replacement board, and it should be arriving shortly (hopefully). At that point, I'm sure we'll have to do more troubleshooting.

What I'd like to do, once we've got DDR back to normal, is organize some kind of tournament or all-day event. So, if you local folks could suggest something you'd like to see happen at Ground Kontrol, that would be cool. We really appreciate your patience!

Again, for now: you can come down and play!

Cha-ching!

Excellent. If a tournament did happen, I might go there. From what I've heard, GK seems to be a pretty chill retro arcade place.
