And why did TGA lose the GOLD machine? I thought they were allowed to keep it? :<

There was an 8th in Augusta, but since I spend most of my time in Atlanta now, they felt no reason to keep it around.
That and the new management in the arcade doesn't know how to fix games. Chalk that up to me not being around again.
Anyway, they've since done renovations to the place, and since they started the second phase of their project (lazer tag), it seems they sold/got rid of their 8th style.
So no more IIDX in Augusta, Ga.

with the IIDX gold machine at TGA, there is a reason, I think it has something about Betson taking it back from TGA, though i don't remember it well. | |

Updated. Wow, only 20 machines (that we know of) in the country? I thought there would be more. Also, a lot of 8th styles for some reason. | |

The same thing for GOLD, it also comes with new hardware | |

So does this mean pre-9th ran on CDs, post-8th ran on some XP based system, and Gold ran on "just-plain-something-else"? | |

8th and lower used Twinkle hardware (custom boards, DVD data).
9th-Distorted use BemaniPC
GOLD and DJTroopers is on (apparently) Taito TypeX.
The thing is, iirc GOLD and DJT still need the USB connection used in BemaniPC, so while yes it's a hardware jump, you won't see quite so many "complete" kits floating around. I'm not sure if Konami sold "complete" kits for GOLD/DJT, but the USB thing was mostly just packaged with 9th and a few 10th kits so they are rare. | |

Better graphics card, bit more ram, slightly faster processor. Everything else about it is exactly the same as BemaniPC. I think people say it's TypeX because the overall specs are similar (slightly better on this new hardware) and the cage looks the similar (it's far more compact), but it isn't actually TypeX. One thing that kind of gives it away is the hard drives that are used, IIRC TypeX uses standard IDE connections for the drives themselves, GOLD and DJT use SATA. Not anything major I know, but that still speaks for it's difference.

Very interesting topic. Definitely worthy to me if I ever return to the USA and pass by your arcade rooms ^_^ That said, I hope they've maintained the 6th Style machine in Primm after I got there in 2005, when I played it the slot wouldn't accept any coins (I got free plays for reporting that problem) and the left-side 1 key was sticky.
But anyway, keep this topic going!

Not that it matters, but the IIDX hardware was brought up so: 5th style and under ran on VCD players.
