James,
That is great information that helps us to figure it out.  Keep it coming! 

Hey Bill sorry to bug you but People from cali came down to play initial D version 4 and they mentioned to me that the acceleration in initial d 4 is not at max. We tested it and no matter what the right player always passed the left player in the begining of every race. this makes it unfair to people that play on the left side, me being one of them. I also hold most of the records on the machines but i cant put them online for the official initial d v4 world ranking because the acceleration settings are killing my time by 10 to 20 secconds. Alot of us initial d players would love it if both machines were set at 100 accel so it would be fair for everyone, and for us time attackers to submit our records and  let other people recognize that some of the best players in the usa are here at acme.  

Thanks for the info, we will recalibrate all the ID4 controls.  Let us know how it works after that.  Thx

Nope It was the same as always. I was told the way to get the acceleration to 100% was in the machine settings mode. We cant get to that without your help though. XD The problems not with the controls, but with the acceleration settings the machine is set on. I Will try to find a link to it. thanks for trying though. We had a big crowd today and everyone lined up for the right side as usual.

went there tuesday night.

no complaints on any of the music games :O
thanks a lot for everything.

ID4 had its gas and brake pedals recalibrated today.  Please let us know if that cured the problem.  Also, checked ITG2 down arrow once again, and it seems fine.  But as always, please give a follow up report on if it's working well now.  Thx 

Other news:  for the driving game crowd, new Maximum Tune 3's arriving early February, about two weeks.   

Bill helllp I was about to test the initial d v4 but my card was all used up and I tried to renew. Now its at the 403 screen. I called masterman vending now I'm gonna sit here till someone arives. I gotta leave at 9 tho.

Oh good, you called.  Service should be out tonight.  You could cure the problem yourself, as well.  The machine would need to be pulled out a bit and rebooted by unpluging for a moment.  On reboot, I would guess it would spit your card back out and be playable again.  Anyhow, if you decide to do that, and it works, you could call tghe service number agian and cancel the trouble call.  Thx.

Well the good news is the acceleration is normal now. I tested both sides and its working beautifully. Bad news is it didn't spit my car back out once I restarted it. I spent over 300 dollars on that card. Please tell me I can get it back through the machine options recovery. I will wait for help to arive. Your still my hero for getting the machines acceleration normal back to waiting for help haha. Your the best bill <3

Were having a bit of a problem with the 403 error bill. It keeps poping up. Even when we try to restor it. I'm afraid to leave cuz I know if someone else puts their card in that slot my data will be lost forever. What should we do?

Did the tech get by there and get you taken care of?  Is the machine running well without 403 erros now?  thx

WE got my card restored on the very last try :] We tried it like 10 times. We didn't know why it wouldn't work but it would take a blank card into the slot as if it was gonna transfer the data, but nothing was writen to it,then it would go to the 403 screen again. It even spit out a couple blanks. The machine is useable now but I'm sure the error wll come back to torture people once more. Both machines are working perfectly, the acceleration is perfect for both sides. Thank you bill. I bow to thee

I probably should be calling these in but by the time I remember, I'm home already =\

Popn, DDR, and ITG worked great.
Pro's 2P side up right arrow is a bit weird; I think unsensitive as I was getting a few delayed inputs.

Thanks!

Well, PRO spazzed out once again .



...and...



I officially suck at ITG now; I failed both my Final Audition simfiles* today!! Whee!




*They're both available in the Simfiles section if you guys are wondering.

I was there earlier today!!1
Anyways, it was fun.

Yeah Pro's 2P pad is getting a bit weird... the 9 button was double triggering when I wasn't even stepping on it...

Also, the 3 button dropped a freeze on Papa Gonzales hard resulting in 4 perfs and a miss... Kevin got 5 perfs and a great and I won. Weird.

This would be appreciated. I don't see why In The Groove costs more than Pro after 2 years, but I'm not really complaining about the price it's at. I think it would be a bit more justified if a cool theme was installed or some songs were hacked on with backgrounds and banners.

i was there today. all the dance machines seem fine, not sure about other games though. oh i and saw mykl who like never goes there haha. and davyn too who apparently is like one of the top pump players around here. if you guys cant tell who i am from my username, i was the asian dude with a fancy yankees cap. yup. and im pretty buzzed right now, shoutouts to EVERYONE. peace niggaz

Have I just been blind...

How long has MT3 been there? :O

I didn't even notice it last night. I think this is a bad sign for my mental acuity. First not being able to read DM without dark and now this? Bleh.

bills a sly nigga

Haha, a mind that only follows arrows neglects to notice new MT 3's that have been there a week now.   

Well, I hadn't been there for a while... but now I'm motivated to go more.

Sweet. I'll have to transfer over my unshaded card.

Hey guys,
As you know, we are trying to figure out the random problem with PIU Pro giving the extra credits.  As you may have noticed, for the last week the game now only accepts quarters on it's right hand side coin door.  Has the machine gone nuts with the extra credits this last week?  Input appreciated.  Thx

The machine did the 20 credits thing on Saturday at least one time in the day. I don't know of any other times

Oh and the hi-hat on DM is f'd up. You have to hit it hard for it to respond
