Damnnnn everyone's gettin this shit.

[uLTraCarL]

Just got back from there



it is 4 Points per play. You know how Boomers! works, card based system now

Beware, it has problems ejecting the platinum cards.
1st try, it did not eject. They had to reboot the machine.
2nd try, it ejected right after game over.
3rd try, it did not eject again. Played 2 or 3 more times using the card before it finally ejected.

[DJ DIVINE!? REALLY!?]

maybe i'll buy a card from there but play at AI ;D

or have a paper clip handy in case i wanna leave with my card!

Went tonight, the volume on the cabinet is a lot louder then Camelot (hence better.) I was getting that stuck card like uLTraCarL mentioned, I was able to wiggle the card to pop out pretty easily except on my last play. I think that needs to be addressed ASAP.

Oddest thing happened today

Me and eldevine decided to hit up Boomers! tonight
I forgot to bring a paper clip (oops) and on my last play, the card did not eject.

I went to the prize counter to ask for a paper clip but when I came back eldevine said my card ejected on its own. Maybe the eject mechanism is lagged somehow?

We'll probably test this more tomorrow but with a paper clip on-hand to eject the card in case it never comes out

There's a manual eject button on the machine???

like a cd-rom/dvd drive, there's a little hole for a pin to go in and force eject it? Never tried it but will do later tonight

Yes, it works. Done it before

[DJ DIVINE!? REALLY!?]

BEWARE: THIS LOCATION DOES NOT SELL PLATINUM CREW CARDS

if you ask anyone that works there about a "dj max card", they'll think it's the card for their new card system. SMH

i think this particular machine might have the old card slot, which might explain that the newer, thicker platinum crew cards get stuck sometimes? and if it initially doesn't eject at the end of a game, then maybe it keeps trying... that's my guess

Ultracarl Divine! Good games yesterday. It's only the first official week of release and between Boomer's funky card slot and Camealot's funky coin slot, I don't know how long these machines are gonna withstand the abuse of the general public. As much as I want one in Dave and Busters, it's uncertain if a brand new Technika will survive both monetarily and physically over a crowd of kids or a crowd of drunks.

[Empathy]

Yeah, over the course of one week SVGL's machine went on the fritz (a suspected grounding issue) and MGL's machine seems to have an internal speaker issue (right channel speaker, left channel headphone both cut out intermittently). MGL's machine's speaker channels are also crossed....lol.

[Serika]

it seems like almost all the CA technika machines have some minor to semi serious problems. D:

[Empathy]

Yup. I feel more confident that PM Studios & Pentavision will support their machines compared to Konami & Betson. At both Golflands it's still been playable at least, better than I can say about DDRX.

[Serika]

horrible HD lag..... I feel less motivated to play with it. D:
