Playing on any modified version of ANY arcade game illegitimizes your scores because it eradicates the existence of a machine to machine consistency and standards. That's why I don't play ITG too seriously lol. It truly is Stepmania in a cabinet :O
I do agree, and I can say the same for software standards if the judgment is changed. I mainly play on modded pads to achieve the ability to play harder songs though, without having to step into craters, but it would be impressive to play on stock pads. I would be okay playing stock pads with regular danceable charts though
, but I prefer "dancefloors" to be almost flat.

Did X3 ever get connected to Programmed World? Not that that matters now..I was wondering if it could get some kind of unlock all patch or something. Last time I played it (which was like a few months ago) it was missing a lot of the songs. Now that PW is dead I think it's the best option
e- actually i guess X3 doesn't have an unlock all figured out just yet so nvm

Does anyone still add packs to the ITG machine? Haven't seen anything new in a while, but I also haven't visited in a while because of it.

If you're going to SakuraCon, that would be a
prime
(heh, Pump..) opportunity to get new packs added. A bunch of the community will be hangin around the cabinet for 3 days straight; maybe Ben or someone won't mind sticking some additional packs on there~

Yeah, they take the machine up to Sakura Con every year and I think they hold tournaments or just full on free-play all three days
I wanted to go last year but I couldn't because I wasn't of legal age yet, and I didn't feel like making anyone my chaperon. But now I'm LEGAL BABEH

We've still been adding packs. Turnaround is not instantaneous because adding packs still requires Tony's assistance. All of the packs you requested should be going on the machine at Sakuracon.
To reiterate a previous policy: Pack requests must follow the format of forum PM which includes links to the packs in question. When somebody PMs me a list of packs, I get an e-mail and a reminder every time I log into the forums, whereas if you try to contact me some other way, I may be busy when I see your message and then it will fall off my radar.
We'll try to have packs added within a month of them being requested.
We also recently added BemaniBeats, which is a really cool new pack of technical charts from Bemani games!

Hi fellas. I am new to the area and looking to join the dance game scene around here. I used to play hardcore for a good bit about 3 years ago so im gonna be very rusty. When are some good times to go play at this location? Anyone going to be there this week or weekend?

Hey. Welcome!
I usually visit on Saturday evenings around 8pm, once a month. Not sure I can make it this week though.
I don't know if there's an optimal time to go per say, but if you head there in the mid/late afternoon I think there are more children, who sometimes have the habit of yelling (during the Cyclone game nearby) or running across the pads.
Cheers,
Zach

Yay, a new monitor!!
Also, any new song packs added yet? There's like nothing new to play since I've gone.

Is the machine back at ACME yet? I stopped by yesterday to play and was dissapointed that it was still gone. Guess I should have checked here before I drove down

I'm curious whether the new ("permanent") monitor for ITG will be the same flat screen one that was used during Sakuracon o.o
Don't think it was confirmed at the time whether it would continue to be used after the weekend.

I need to address a few things. Since coming back from probably a month or more of avoiding ACME, I've discovered this:
The new screen has this weird video sync delay. Notes come up "earlier" but you still should be hitting the same way you always do.
The global offset feels off. I tried to step along to the song and not following the video, but I cannot score over 80%. I've failed to score anything well even with 12s. Barely passed 13s.
In my opinion (and only my opinion, I do not claim that this is a major issue), the pads need some reworking. It seems a bit... less flushed, and it's totally fine that it's not flushed as that rat from Flushed Away, but it's really difficult for me to score well on even easy songs. I played a 9 and didn't do too well but I thought it was just me. I tried in both shoes and socks. I forgot to take pictures but the next time I feel like going I'll do it.
But hey, the upside is - we got a new brighter screen (albeit a bit smaller in size) and a few new packs... only 2 out of 5 that I had requested months ago, and then of course SakuraCon and some animu & mango packs.
I figure I'd be the one to say this so something can be done sooner.

Hey everyone!
Met up with KLOC today and we completely reworked the modding since we'd gotten a bunch of complains about the pads. We're going back to tweak them more on Monday so this weekend I'd really appreciate it if people went to ACME and gave me their feedback.
The pads are currently more flush than stock pads but less flush than they had been, to hopefully give old-school and stamina players both some kind of happy medium. Please play this weekend and let us know how it goes!

Yeah, Laura and I were working on them.
What I've diagnosed is that the P1 side is much harder to mod in anyway. Currently, footswitches/jacks are especially difficult on the up arrow on that side. The rest of the pads seems normal. We'll definitely have to come back another day to continue fixing.
P2 is doing great, and surprisingly good enough for even hard songs, and they're not even that flushed. Up arrow has half the intensity of the problem stated above
I passed a few 15s on them. They just demand quite a bit of energy because they're still "crater-like" but they are not impossible to stream on.
I played some sets of doubles as well and I was able to nearly FC although with a few misses, but they were just me.
Laura and I both tested each pad, but because we're probably the lightest out of all of the usual players, we can't tell if the pads may be too sensitive for heavier set people.
Plus, to clarify, I am just a kid that really enjoys playing ITG quite a lot, but I am in no way claiming the methods I used to mod the pads are correct. It's all a matter of me experimenting until it feels right. I hope, with my best intentions, that the pads will work for anyone - people new to the game - people who play no-bar 9s - people who play 6969bpm streams - and people who play doubles.
We're going to come back on Monday noon after some more people have played.
In the meantime, please feel free to report any issues you notice, no matter how little it seems. Whether it's hard to bracket or that you notice misfires or you wish it were less flushed, please do inform us!

ATTN guys: I unfortunately had some stuff came up for today and I won't be able to mod the pads! I have a job interview at 2 and another job to go to starting at 4 so I will be pretty busy today.
So sorry about this guys.
Laura and I will try to find another day to do some pad work!

Oh hey, I just saw this now.
OK, in that case, can you meet me there on Thursday around 1 PM? And anybody else who would like to test?

OK how about this. Does anyone want to do a Thursday night meetup to test the pads? I can get there around 8.
