[Current Added Songs/Packs]

We can add songs to the Acme Bowl ITG cabinet now.

I'm in charge of this, so basically this is how it works:


1. Post in the thread a link to the song that you want added to the machine. Make sure the audio is in the correct format, the SM file works with R21 syncing, and that you have a banner/background file if you don't want a generic one.
2. I'll play the song on my custom ITG build, and tell you if it's appropriate to add to the Acme machine.
3. Barring any weird stuff going on in my life, I'll add the song to the Acme ITG cabinet next time I do an update. This should occur fairly frequently.
4. If you have a song that you want added but don't have the file yourself (or it's a really common file), just post the song name and author and I'll look for it. I have all the DDR song packs converted for hacking, so that should be possible to add immediately.

I'll apply to be keep saker of updating said machine's with new songpacks.

I only frequent ACME once to twice a week on weekends usually, but since I'll be moving to redmond with a car I'd be more than happy to make the drive to put new songs on when people wanted. Even if that's all I went there to do. I wouldn't mind one bit.

Kevin, did this pack ever get on the machine?   If not we should hand the responsibility of updating the machine to someone else (working with Bill too on who that is).

I'd like to request Mwok's and Jimbo's tournament pack be added.
http://www.mediafire.com/?79xbjq15t3qdqc1

It's about 50 songs (mainly techno but some rock, pop, and video game tracks), ranging from 9s to 13s. Very nice quality I think; similar to the style from Flash's packs in the past.

Yeah, I'm thinking about putting in a "PNWBemani Pack 1" kind of thing soon. I'll play through some stuff and add it ASAP.

Maybe you guys could try my stepcharts and see if you like'em? If so, perhaps you could add those to the machine. I know Null loves my Stamp on the Ground and Summer Party charts, and he generally plays the same types of songs you guys do.

Thanks, I just hope you actually get around to it It was months ago when we finally got even a few new song on there and it hasn't been touched since. I sorta wish I could just be put in charge of this machine seeing as I'm actually at Acme 4-5 times per week and have the drive to upgrade the machine, since Amber's basically gone and you've hardly played recently but I suppose that's up to Bill. I will post up a new list of songs to be added (and a couple keyboard charts from the Flash packs to take off/leave out) when I have the chance.
And btw if you ever need a ride down to Acme I'd be happy to oblige if it helps get the additions done

The Empress theme is crashing on the song select screen. I'm not sure why; I'll try and figure it out soon. It's a really really good looking theme. Judgments are totally different as well.

I rebooted the machine after it started up in ITG3 just to make sure that it wouldn't switch back. It worked fine for me, hopefully it does for you too. Also, be prepared to wait a while after the green screen shows up...I don't know what changed in OpenITG beta 2 but for some reason it hangs on a black screen loading FOREVER. Don't think it's crashed, though, it just takes a little longer to boot.

Also I am kind of really back into dancing games again so expect me down at Acme every week from now on.

Okay! I managed to get a USB drive to work eventually and then proceeded to install OpenITG Beta 2. It fixed all of the USB problems! Woohoo!

The game is also running the ITG3 theme again. Let me know if any odd things happen.

Woohoo!

Hopefully it won't reset to ITG2 when we reset the machine lol.
Anyways good news. Hows the IIDX empress theme coming along?

There might be, but that would suck for cancelling out of songs like I do when I'm testing syncing. Theme will either be switched back to ITG3 or Empress tonight.

ok sounds good!

I'm going down tonight to try and fix the USB issues and resync some things.

and switch the theme back to ITG3 please.
Also is there an option to turn fail to instant instead of fail after a 30 combo miss?

Guys can we get someone to change the theme back. I called Kevin to to let him know, but he didn't pick up.

Though in a way it's kind of fun. I'm forcing myself to use 4x on all these song I use 3.5x on

It's taking some getting used to but my scores are going to get much better I think.

Also I'm working on a pack of songs to put on which should be ready in the next month or two. Stay Tuned

Gerrak and I were able to play custom songs via USB, but it was very.. unreliable. Over the course of the night, we had to reset the machine a couple times.

Tonight Ancsik also relayed the message to our local friendly mechanic about the USB issues already, I believe.

Kevin, I wanted to be there when you put the songs on because I have a fixed up version of the sakura-con 2010 pack.

Also, I restarted the machine tonight and it reverted back into the ITG2 theme.

Hah, yeah, I didn't remove them. They're pretty loud on the machine, haha. Anyway I think other packs would be okay, just nothing insanely silly with regards to the profanity. If it's just like in the context of the song then that's okay.

Also this is another reminder! Everyone really needs to let me know ASAP about the USB drives! I seriously can't get it fixed until I find out if the game is just completely not recognizing the drives at all.

KevinDDR, when you added the FlashExclusivesAndFriends pack did you include "Keyboard Crusher 0.o" and "Tapioca Game Keyboard Crusher"? All the other songs are pretty cool, but those two ones are just remixes of that one angry WoW player screaming. I can see other gamers in the room being all "WTF?" if either came up XD

Flash has a couple other pretty awesome packs as well; would profanity be an issue if I wanted to recommend a song pack that had Kanye West, etc?

Okay, everything is done!

There are still some issues, but obviously that comes with adding new things.

+ Cutoffs are now 10:00 for any individual song, with 3:00+ counting as 2 stages and 5:30 counting as a full set.
+ Flash Exclusives & Friends v2 pack installed, syncing is good
+ Groovestats "Customs 1" pack installed, everything (I think) is late (again, I think). They're not unplayable, but they will be resynced ASAP.
- USB stuff didn't work for me. The machine complained about the USB hub being disconnected, but this is definitely not the case as the ports worked fine when I was booting into Linux off of them. I think this is either a theme problem or an OpenITG problem, but do let me know if any of you manage to get the ports working with your drives. I couldn't install the newest build of OpenITG as a result of this. I would have used the port inside the cabinet, but I didn't have a screwdriver with me to open the cabinet up as I didn't think it was going to be necessary.
- IIDX Empress theme installed, but it doesn't work so we're still using the ITG3 theme.

I checked and the timing windows are DEFINITELY smaller than normal. I'm not changing them to normal unless there is an overwhelming consensus that it's what people want.

Anyway, I updated the first post. Again, please please PLEASE post if anyone gets the USB ports working at all. I really need to know if they are completely unusable in order to get this problem fixed.

To be honest I don't even think difficulties matter anymore. We can all pretty much pass everything and now when I play I just judge difficulty by stepcount. Anyway yeah it is looking like Friday or Saturday for the Acme stuff. I have to pick up an arcade cabinet from Bill in Tacoma as well this weekend and I'll probably be doing that on Friday.
