Extreme USA Question

bemaniguy: 2nd Style · 06-14-2008, 08:30 PM

So today I decided to try and see if I can beat those last two missions on Mission Mode. I succeeded and it told me to go to www.konamityo.com/bemani/usa/extreme with a given username and password. Unfortunately the site is no longer there. So I just wanted to know whats on the site from those who have completed mission mode and saw it.

Keep reloading 18 more times. Every 6 times will make new elements appear.

They're just desktops.

While we are on the discussion of Extreme US version questions, I got a good one.

Why is Extreme 2 US the only game that counts weight in workout mode by Kilograms instead of lbs?

I don't think EX 2 is the only one , I remember seeing MAX 2 and Extreme do the same.

I don't know about Max 2, but Extreme goes by pounds.

Jaybelluski · 06-15-2008, 01:40 PM

If I remember correctly, MAX2 measured weight in pounds as well.

(Plus, for the sake of sound science, a kilogram is a unit for measuring mass, NOT weight [stupid Konami].)

Kiri_No_Haku · 06-15-2008, 04:53 PM

No, it is not the fact that it is a measure of mass, which pounds are too if you thought about it.

Most of the other countries use kilograms as their weight measurement while the U.S. uses pounds. Just like inches and centimeters.

They probably just go by that in EX2 for some weird mistake made from making the N.A. version from the JP version.

I got another question....

Why the hell is Extreme US the only DDR game I have that constantly gets "corrupted"? I've done about 80 mission in 2 full days just to get back on to see it "corrupted". I also had it for about a month playing before that and it got "corrupted".

the autosave feature on everything from extreme back occasionally corrupts the data

not sure why

Pounds are not a measure of mass (an object's inertia/the amount of matter that an object possesses), but of weight (the gravitational pull of one object compared to another object, like a planet, for example).

<lecture>
An object's weight can change, like if it was first on Earth but then goes into outer space or another planet; so it's not the most concrete measurement of heaviness. However, its mass never changes just because it moves from one location to another--it can get away from gravity, but it won't spontaneously lose matter just because it moves somewhere else. I bet you that most countries use the kilogram as their "weight" measurement for this reason, as opposed to actual units of weight like the pound or the Newton.
</lecture>

Also, I second rantalus about file corruption. It's happened to me probably at least once for MAX, MAX2, and EXTREME.

ehh

that only happened to me on DDRMAX2 US when I first started playing DDR because I was stupid enough to turn off the PS2 while it was saving.

maybe I've been more lucky than others, but I've found that if I wait until the title screen (or at least wait until it says it's done saving) to start holding the reset button for standby, the save will never get corrupted. considering it hasn't happened to me in over four years, I'd say it's a pretty good method to avoid corruption.

Kiri_No_Haku · 06-16-2008, 09:48 PM

That is what I always do though. Maybe one day after my workout I just forgot and did it once the "Saved Game" window comes up.

trust me you are just lucky; i've had several fully unlocked saves for max and max2 just fuck themselves

Same for me with Extreme. I would either do the full mission mode or do 200 songs then about a few days later it screws me over with that stupid "Corrupted Data" crap.

MdX MaxX · 06-17-2008, 06:39 PM

Hmmm, my DDR Extreme data only got corrupted once in the 3+ years I had it. None of my other game data got corrupted either. Do you guys use Sony Memory Cards or Nyko/CrapCatz/other off brand?

Ashura96 · 06-17-2008, 07:02 PM

I must be REALLY lucky...I've never had any DDR save data corrupt on me.
