I called in already about the right side a few days ago but good that other people noticed. I meant to call in again yesterday but I forgot. I had definite errors on the left, up and right arrows yesterday when I played around 1 or so (I don't know if the tech had come at this point); the down seemed fine but I could definitely attribute errors to all three of the others (I played Mne Uzhe and I dropped rolls that I clearly hit on all three of those arrows, and on other songs as well had glaring errors). The down may very well be somewhat bad as well, but I tend to hit the down a little harder than the others since it's almost always with my heel.

Anyway I greatly appreciate your guys' taking a look and cleaning it out/replacing bad sensors or whatever. Thanks much!


On a random other note, I also think the Street Fighter joysticks are maybe getting worn down a bit. I actually play a game or two every time I go play ITG nowadays and it seems like though I'm getting better at the game it's getting a bit more unreliable to execute moves as of late. I also was having problems grabbing on the right side (so LP or LK is probably acting up). I'm by no means close an expert on this game so these are only speculations, but I hope maybe someone can take a look if other people are noticing the same thing.

Thanks!  

Our tech had been there.  he is back agian, probably right now.  Stages being rebuilt and serviced, full clean out, etc, etc.  Let us know how it plays after tonight.

It's been a busy week for me, so I keep putting off the USB work.  Finally took a closer look at the code and made what should be the necessary change.  I'll try to do some testing on my desktop tonight (otherwise it'll likely be tomorrow) - if things look good, I'll try to set things up next time I go to Acme.

Glad there's been good work done on the pad, thanks! Yesterday I failed a song due to the right arrow sticking, as I called in and said, so I was hoping someone could head down and take one more look at that arrow.

As always, much thanks!

A few months back I was at Acme and someone was playing a simplified version of Mne Uzhe Haiduc that they had made. It's a 10 on hard and it has the original chart as 11 on challenge.

I got a copy of it from whoever you were (sorry, but I just can't remember who it was). Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted that chart off my machine and for familiarity sake, I would really like to get a hold of that chart from whoever originally gave it to me.

If the person who made that edit reads this, would you please PM me or post a link so I can get that chart from you again? Thanks!

Mne Uzhe comes with a 10 and an 11 if you get it from the original pack.  It's Monster Energy Pack 3 - you can find it in the r21freak pack list.  I'm assuming that's the 10 you're talking about - I've never seen a different one - it's almost identical to the original, and just has the quad stomps taken out or something like that.  If that's not the one you're thinking of, then someone else hopefully knows.

And now on a service report I saw this morning, anothet two sensors were replaced yesterday on ITG.  Allan, please report condition after your next arrow smashing tangent.

Just so ya know, Tony, I was playing a few of Jayce's charts last night & the ITG cab really seems to not like the Portal1 song.

I got through the Technika "Whiteblue" one just fine with that overlay, but when I did Still Alive both on versus & then by myself a couple sets later, it would exit out of OpenITG & basically go to a desktop screen right around three-quarters through the song.

Played on Sat, pads were great! Thanks for getting all that fixed!

Now that theyre good and fixed, I've come down with a cold and cant play... I'm going into withdrawals...

I need to download the machine's crash logs to see why Still Alive isn't working right.  It worked fine when I first installed it, and all of Jayce's overlay charts (except Whiteblue, but it's been on there for about a week) have crashed the machine as some point, but Portal is particularly unstable.

The crash screen is just the computer's desktop - I still haven't gotten an auto-revive script set up yet, so when OITG crashes, you get the desktop.

Whiteblue is awesome btw... Failed the first attempt, 80 on second attempt, was going for a mid-90 on third attempt but it crashed the machine I really wish we could get it more stable....

Next time I'm there, I'll try to remember to pull the crash logs and see if I can figure out what keeps happening.

It shouldn't have anything to do with memory, graphics, or CPU issues, since they were about as stable on the old computer as they are on the new.  It shouldn't have much to do with the files themselves, since they work some of the time.  This unfortunately means that it's probably something extremely subtle; fortunately, many subtle issues are things like trying to display too many things at once and hitting some internal limit, which would actually be logged in a fairly clear way and is probably easily fixed once tracked down; unfortunately, if it's not so clear, but very subtle, it's going to be damn hard to fix.

USBs?

I been deathly sick so I cant play right now anyway but thought I'd pester about it...

Was in Utah over the weekend, so I couldn't actually work on anything.  Will at least compile the patched version tonight, should have USB working soon, though I'm going to be out of the state this weekend as well, so I'll probably install the patched version sometime next week.

Talked to the people who maintain Utah's dedicab about Jayce charts crashing on their machine, and apparently, they see different charts crash depending on what OITG version they are running (they've run Jayce charts against beta 1 and beta 2).  Basically, it looks like the root cause is extremely subtle - I'll pull the crash logs tonight.

A haiku for these dark times:

     USB Sorrows...
          OpenITG's shit... One choice...
               This turkey sandwich





Hey give me a break, I'm on lunch....

My brain is now trying to construct a song called "USB of Sorrow" out of "Rain of Sorrow" from DDR.  Thanks, Gerrak, this monstrosity is going to be kicking around my head all day.

Why hello everyone  long time no talk, school/work/working out is no easy thing to juggle. Thought I would let you fine folks know I'll be at ACME this thursday night to be practicing for that tourney, as most of my training has been physical, but nothing shakes the dust off like some good ol ITG. I may possibly be going in tomorrow as well (sunday the 23rd) after work, but that depends how the gym and work go. But count me in for sure on Thursday evening.

Nimm... What a beast   Awesome you decided to come to the tournament!

  You most definitely know Gerrak!

Went in yesterday near 5-6:30, very much fun, rust is coming off fast in terms of the 9s and 10s (mid-high 90s), still able to do 11s and most of the 12s I love. But that will change soon.  The USB wasn't working, but knowing how it is at ACME, it will probably be up and running soon. The pads and bars seem better than what I remember too. I'll be going again Thursday, afternoon/evening.

I think the down arrow on the left side is giving a few errors. I heard someone mention it and I played on that side for a while and it looked to be this arrow that gave the issues. I was just hoping someone could take a look Thanks!

Also the 'USB out of order' sign is missing, or else Tony fixed it without telling anyone. Preferably the latter I'm gonna lose my #1 most preserved USB data on Groovestats status if the USBs are broken for too much longer...

USB is still down - somebody must have removed the sign.

Building the fixed version of OITG isn't going so smoothly; something's not working quite right with autoconf, so the compilation scripts aren't being generated (therefore I can't even try to compile the program).  I should have some time tonight to look into the autoconf issues.

Oh boy, more sensors to ITG today,  Hopefully playing well.

Not playing well is Drum Mania.  It looks to be down for the count, and scheduled to get pulled early next week.  We cannot figure out the error on the screen , as it is in Japanese.  Does anyone here know Japanese?  If so, please feel free to plug in and attempt to boot the cabinet this weekend.  Let us know if you can read in to what the error message is.  It will not fully boot up.  Hate to retire it, as it's a nest game.  But that operating system has been a bit flaky since day 1.  :-(

I can probably take a look on Sunday. Shouldn't be too hard for me to get down to Acme.

If someone would post a screenshot, I could try to translate it.

I think I'm gonna go tonight, so I'll take a picture for you (or you could just come hang out!)
