Man I want to play it really badly... I would rather wait until the USB is working though, no sense driving 30 minutes to play a game without one of the key features.

It would be worth it to try the new songs, really.

Also, who knows when that arcade will get the USB thingies. The place where I play NX2 got the USB Keys like 1 week after the machine was installed

Haha yeah, Baechigi is made of a whole lot of win. Definitely going to try to hit it up tomorrow night I think, if not Saturday afternoon.

Hey Saturday afternoon you may see me there.

YeehawMcKickass · 03-27-2008, 11:51 PM

June, you want a usb? I got em!

also:

I'M HOLDING AN NX2 TOURNAMENT.

(graphics coming if GTC ever gets to it)

Saturday, April 12, 2008. 7pm start.
One University Parkway
Student Union Basement
Romeoville, IL 60446

$5 entry per division:
SpeedMAX
Freestyle

If time allows, there will be a no cost "special" tournament.

SpeedMAX formatwill be determined by number of entrants: Eight or less will result in a 6-round point assignment tournament (win the round, get 8 points down to 1 for losing). More than 8 will operate top cut.

Prizes Per division:
1st: 70% of entries
2nd: 20% of entries
3rd: Greater of 10% of entries or 5 bucks

ALL ENTRIES ARE PUT INTO THE RANDOM PRIZE DRAWING. Prizes can run the gamut from me going out and buying good stuff, Pump merch, or me just handing you random shit I've accumulated that you can throw away. Additional chances can be purchased for the low, low cost of a buck a chance.

Bar allowed because I'm not a dick.

The games in the Den are on free play all weekend. If you want to come up earlier in the day on Saturday to warm up/get used to the pads you're more than welcome to. There isn't JUST pump, there's a mini bowling thing, a couple racing games, a golf game, two pool tables, and a bunch of couches. Also "food" service in the same building.

Comments? Questions? Flames?

Apparently, Addison was shipped a broken USB drive so they're waiting on a replacement. Probably going to check it out if not tomorrow, then Thursday night.

*Kσn* · 04-09-2008, 07:19 PM

I will be there Friday with some friends. You can tell its me if there looks like there is guards around me... Dont ask... My friends are acting like I am pro, and want to do it to trick people. I actually do not recommend going when I do this time... lol.

BanYa4eVr · 04-09-2008, 07:19 PM

Did they fix the goddam screen yet?

It's been zoomed in towards the left for like, 3 weeks.
Can't even play P1 side.

*Kσn* · 04-09-2008, 07:46 PM

wow and that is a very easy fix. you just need to go to the setting of the monitor, or change the setting in the game right? How hard could that possibly be?

Have you worked on arcades before? How do you know that it's obviously that easy?

It could be an easy fix, it might not be. That screen's been plagued with problems since they had Exceed 2. After the first time it blew, the screen hasn't been the same; it's been dimmer, blurrier, and never completely fitting on screen.

Knowing this D&B, they could just adjust it, but we're still not talking about the most competent techs on the planet...hell, they switched the floor panel lights when they upgraded.

As for the centered screen, it's odd. Sometimes it'll be just barely off the screen on the left side, other times it's almost completely off. Another time, the screen was shaking HORRIBLY. It's got a life of it's own or something.

The monitor is just an ordinary CRT, so it should be that easy to adjust it...

of course, if the monitor is breaking down, then we'd have a real problem...

I'm glad Chicago is getting more NX2s.

YeehawMcKickass · 04-10-2008, 02:41 PM

D&B Addison's pump monitor is an old RP 480i big screen TV.

Getting at any of the service level adjustments will probably require a remote they likely don't have anymore.

It just needs to be replaced.

thats why its a easy fix.

you dont have to work on a arcade machine to figure that one out. However it could be hard if its not windowed into the screen correctly (as in the screens image is too large to fit on the CRT that is running pump it up).

Oh, it's one of those kinds of setups...

Yeah, they should just replace it as you said.

*Kσn* · 04-11-2008, 02:10 AM

or you buy a universal remote. I mean I have a TV be gone, and that will be fun to turn off while people are playing! lol.

They would have to know the exact TV type though, and they probably dont know what it is.
