I've been playing Beatmania IIDX 7th Style at my local arcade every day. However, i've noticed that the turn table is closer to the keypad on this arcade machine than it is on the IDDX DJ Troopers machine which is right next to it ( i play IIDX 7th style cause it's cheaper and i'm still a newbie). I'm currently around a level 6 to 7 player on 7th Style.
I'm worried because i use my pinky to scratch with my index or middle fingers to hit keys assuming i have to do both at once. Yet i see the DJ Troopers players using their pinky to scratch while they use their thumb and index. I'm worried i'm learning the game incorrectly =[.
What should i do? I dream of being able to beat level 12 songs some day. | |

you can't really learn incorrectly. there's no real way of clearing 12s or must-do technique. people practice a long time and develop their own style of play and perfect it until they beat harder songs.
about the disc being far from the buttons, just start playing on the troopers machine and i'm sure you'll find a way to work around the problem and adjust yourself. there's unfortunately no "easy solution". | |

wouldnt you rather play on a TROOPERS machine then a 7th style? You are missing many good songs... | |

Play TROOPERS, then you'll be godly when it comes to upgrade the 7th to 16th style. | |

Is the difference with just dj troopers or is it in previous styles after 7th?

Actually, there shouldn't be any difference unless the 7th Style is a rare beatmaniaII cab and the DJ Troopers is a IIDX cab. Either that, or the arcade worked on the machine and moved the turntable over somehow. Could you take pictures of the machines next time that you are there? It'd be cool if it was a standard II cab.

I second this - detailed pics of a II machine would be great - I am planning to build a replica this summer because I can not find one for sale... to run LR and CS styles... go GOLD!!!

All IIDX Cabs are the same (minus some small differences, like the CRT vs LCD on new cabs). The Beatmania II cab is the rare non deluxe version which looks like a beatmania cab, but wider, and includes the 2 extra beatmania keys. (See the 6th style CS videos on youtube if you want to see a BMII cab).

ya I want to see some pics of a II cabinet. I also may make a IIDX cabinet. I was thinking about making a DDR stepmania cabinet first, but I am having a little trouble obtaining a free cheap-o old computer to run it on. | |

I wish beatmania II cabinets caught on more. Although not as eye-catching, they're much more affordable, meaning we'd probably see more of IIDX in the US...minus the DX. It's the music and charts that count, after all, not that I get to play with effectors while standing on a giant subwoofer.
What arcade is this anyways? I don't know of more than 4 DJT machines in America (3 if you're deepbluevibes and don't count Hawaii) Quote:
