OK thread hi-jack.
It's me Rich, Manager / Tech for BGL.
The timing on IIDX is fixed. Half the people in the thread I see complaining haven't played on it since it's been worked on. I would have seen them, I'm there every day. It was a CPU/heatsink problem that we applied a temporary fix for, and we are pro-actively seeking replacement parts to make sure it doesn't happen again.
From someone who's been playing IIDX about as long as Kaze, I can tell there's been a dramatic chance in the timing the machine had when it came to us, most noticeably based on the lack of cleaning and tech work that was displayed when I opened the bemani PC hardware a few weeks back. All the regulars that play @ BGL have noticed improved scores and Just great count, at least that's what they tell me.
If you're not sure whether you've played on the fixed pc, If I was there I would have more than surely brought it up to you because It's something I'm excited about.
ALSO if it makes anyone feel better, it seems the 1P turntable plate had become loose and partially destroyed one of the optical sensors, leaving only one opto to do the work of two. We've gone ahead and reconstructed the sensor and it hasn't been giving us any problems.
Next......Storm coming up.......gonna be a good time.
We have been steadily (albeit slowly) receiving sensors for the DDR/ITG2 machines and have been installing them as they arrive. I've spent more than 10 hours simply CLEANING the interior of the pads on both games. We're doing whatever we can to make sure our sensors will not be at fault for the tournament.
Next.....although posted we have 2 new additions. Guilty gear XX Slash and Street Fighter III : 3rd Strike. We hope you guys enjoy. The condition we received the kits in was less than spectacular, but I'm working (on my days off) to make sure we can get these games wired and trouble free.
That's all for now, but I should remind anyone who's interested in Pump it Up: NX (with the plasma) to voice your opinion to Tina as it is in consideration for the new Beach Gameland opening soon.
Peace.
