super bump. ffc is even shittier than it used to be wow. i heard theyre selling everything 'cept itg2 and one para or something?

papersak · 07-09-2010, 02:27 PM

I don't know the specifics, but yes, they're getting rid of... well, everything that's actually good and it does suck now. xP

Jinx · 07-09-2010, 03:37 PM

They're trying to get rid of everything Bemani except a DDR and ITG. Bemani is over at FFC, stage failed, thanks for playing.

Thought I'd chime in and mention that GF v3 has already and both Para machines will soon be at my store which is now located at Crossroads. (big distance, no?)

Also got a Percussion Freaks 9th mix too.

Tony has offered me IIDX but right now kinda unsure of how much it would take to make it make its investment back. =/

How much are the machines going for/What all is left? My store in KC may be in the market...

Jinx · 07-18-2010, 06:24 AM

They have a craigslist posting, I'm too lazy to find the URL, though. Just search arcade listings for Omaha, can't be many of those. They're asking for ridiculous prices on their stuff on it, though. Just use the listing for reference and then see if you can haggle 'em.

jbean3535 · 07-18-2010, 08:42 PM

Oh, I found it. I havent played the IIDX, What all is wrong with it?

Jinx · 07-18-2010, 08:46 PM

The sync on the fullscreen CRT they're using doesn't match up right, so it constantly falls further and further out of time until it decides to jump everything up to the proper time. For anyone who actually watches notes, this is problematic for most songs. It's also washed out and blurry as hell. Expect to buy a new monitor solution immediately.

Both P1 and P2 need buttons replaced, none are so severe as to be considered broken, but they rarely ever work at 100% or anything close. You'll break combo often unless you're reseating the buttons and messing with them almost daily. Most topside hex screws are missing for the control panel as well.

No marquee, already listed that. Someone stole the metal disc off the top of P1's TT at some point, P2 has, like, a 6th Style one or something like that. lol

I can't think of anything else at the moment. I /think/ all cabinet lights work still, but then again I don't look that high up at it normally, so I could be completely off the mark.

FFC's machine hasn't been quality since... MMS.

Just to add a few things here. FFC DOES still have the original IIDX monitor for this, but the bulb died a long time ago. Import a replacement bulb and clean the inside of the monitor and you'd be good to go with an original machine. As for the lights, same thing, just burnt out but can be easily replaced (but they are expensive if I recall correctly). Everything else works just fine or as described by Jinx.

Actually, /I/ got the old monitor.

The old monitor is in a landfill somewhere now. I took the IIDX plate off the front after I couldn't find a source for the lamp anywhere. The monitor was just not a very common one to get a bulb for, I guess.

LOL, I stand corrected then. Strangely enough, we never had a problem getting bulbs (from Japan - Manjiro), but they were sure pricey enough.

I'm honestly surprised that this thread is still alive, but damn, fixed

Ah MMS. Fun times. I was hoping to go up to FFC (from Kansas City) again sometime, but I guess it's not really worth it anymore.

Hmm, perhaps some of the non-Bemani/rhythm game stuff there is fun? :P
