help with ITG songs

*Kσn* · 03-13-2007, 11:35 PM

ok This is really pissing me off!

Alright, I have 48 songs on the flash drive, its in the Songs folder under in the groove 2, the song allows people to play custom songs, and I only have the .oggm and .SM files in each song foler.

So bemanistyle users, what could I possibly be doing wrong?

for starters, you could ask a question that makes sense, and explain the actual problem.

people have had problems with it not loading all their songs, even under 50 songs. just ask the operator to reset the machine. it usually works.

I cannot load songs on my flash drive, that is the problem. I thought some of the following information would help you to help me...

1. I have 48 Songs on My Flash Drive
2. the locations of the songs are... "in The Groove 2/Songs/song name"
3. The Song File is .ogg
4. The Step chart is .sm
4. .ogg, and .sm files are the only things in the song files.
5. I asked the operator to reset the machine, and it did nothing.
6. The machine reads my crad, and saves data, but still does not load any of my songs.

So, any idea of what the problem may be?

It's very possible the ITG machine either, does not have custom songs enabled or it's not R21/R23, it might be an R16.

again, it is R21, people play custom songs all the time on the machine, SOme of my songs showed up once, but only like 8 of them, now none of them show up... why?

I'm not sure if this matters, but do the .sm files refer to the correct music file extension (.ogg and not .mp3)?
It could just be your flash drive though. If you have another, you could try with that one.

I'd try another jump drive. If that doesnt work then chances are it's the machine. And if you say it isn't that then.. Well your life is d00med.

Put less songs one your card. I only have like thirty on mine and they work when I play itg(once a month).

that might work, but not necessarily. i've had about 40+ when i go to 8otB, and their dedicab loads like... 30ish. but when i go to another arcade nearby, i have absolutely no problems loading all my songs.

it might be either the flash drive, or the machine. what brand usb do you have?

Stop asking to reset the machine, that's very unlikely to be the problem.

Is the In The Groove 2 folder in the root directory?

Try inspecting the .sm files themselves. Make sure there is nothing amiss in them.

Do try another pen drive. That's probably the problem if everybody else's is working.

ok, I omly got a few to load, and I have like 38 songs on the flash drive. About 10 of them loaded onto the game.

I honestly dont get why none of my other songs load. I did a few things you suggested, but I will not get a new flash drive, the one I have ewas not cheap to begin with.

Just thought of this, if you have other things on your flash drive, that might make the machine take longer to find and load your songs on your flash drive. Then because there is a time limit to how long the machine can load songs, only some of them will be loaded.

this actualy may be the problem, I will see if it works though.

*Kσn* · 03-17-2007, 07:18 PM

ok, now for some songs it says "song is over 5 MB". the 2 songs are under 2 minutes too, anyone know how to fix that?

Take the original MP3s and compress them further so they are under the filesize limit
