does anyone know WHERE or HOW i can rent/buy either a new OR USED taiko no tatsujin arcade machine?
Does anyone know how arcades get them? are they rented? bought? who supplies?
any idea on costs? im going to japan and probably going to get it there UNLESS my local arcade will sell me the taiko machine as long as they get it serviced before hand...
any suggestions or info at all would help! | |

does anyone know how to get one from japan then?
the arcade here wants to charge me 10,000$ for their original version 9 one which has bene updated thru 10 and now to 11, but the drums are busted
and the lights stopped working
so i said not for a half assed one, id pay at most 6gs for that.
i was hoping to just wire it to my tv and sound system but apparnetly its super complicated -_-;
i was hoping to just buy the drums + the game unit itself insde the cabinet, i guess im wrong andi t IS more complciated thant hat., | |

Okay...
The cheapest way is to get a Taiko 1,2,3,4,5 or 6 PCB. Get a Taiko 11 PCB to upgrade it and then connect RCA cables for audio and visual output
As for the controls, there are some wirings you need to do. But as far as I know, you CAN connect the drum controls to a PS2 Tatakon or a PS2 controller.
But this is serious hacking stuff and it could damage your PCB. | |

The PCB includes the controls for the drums. Unless, you want those big Taiko drums. If that's so, I'm afraid you need to buy a full Taiko 11 cabinet. | |
