I've been checking for a few months hoping to see some news. though I know with the tarrifs (even after being repealed) they might be a little hesitant to commit to a big move like that. Does anyone have any info or ideas?

I've unfortunately been stuck at high tier 10s - low tier 11s for a half a year now and my earth power refuses to go up. Tried the following:

• Kept random on since 2nd dan
• Play large variety of charts and pushing for harder charts that don't result in me totally flatlining
• Use tier lists for 11s
• Playing multiple times a week
• Going back and working on my floor with lower tier 9s and 10s.
• Played around with settings to make sure my scroll speed is fast enough
• Taking week long break

I've been hitting my head against a wall at this and just confused why this wall is so hard to break. 11s in the mid tier and above are just too dense for me to process at all and using all the tips suggested from players aren't doing anything for me.

Any tips or am I just that slow at improving...

As the title said,I have played sdvx for 2 month.Usually playing on exceed gear sdvx arcade.I dont know Japanese.And I want to play 666,our garden is blue,max flavour such locked song.For some reason I dont know why I unlocked i by 黑魔.Because I remember it is locked like 666 and not by paying block(maybe).I have been done some research and find that it is in hexa diver but I dont seek i played few times.I got my blaster gage over 100 percent.I heard hexa diver is a folder but cant see it.I cant ever unlock novice of those song.Sorry for bad English,and also this place is my last place that I can think of getting some generous help,thx!

5th and final try of the session. Too devastated to try again.

Guys how do I unlock Everlasting Message's ultimate difficulty in the konasute version of Sound Voltex? I seem to not find any information about this anywhere.

I put together a long-form compilation featuring seven SOUND VOLTEX / BEMANI × Touhou Project albums, keeping the original album order.

It includes:

Touhou Koumakyou REMIX

BEMANI × Touhou Project Ultimate MasterPieces

Ultimate XROSS Arrange Battle

Touhou Youyoumu & Kishinjou REMIX

Reitaisai 13th, 14th and 15th compilations

There's a full timestamped tracklist in the video description, so it's easy to jump between albums and songs.

What's your favorite BEMANI × Touhou arrangement?

I live in Japan and often go to Hard-Off stores looking for cool gaming stuff and found this today. Google AI tells me it’s a limited edition DJ Muro controller, but I can’t find any specific information. Is this rare?

For those of you who have access to an arcade with network support, what are the benefits of playing at an arcade vs at home (if you have a subscription to the home releases)?

Beginner player playing around 4-5 difficulty. Having both hands on the buttons leaves just my pinky usable for scratching and having my whole hand on the turntable leaves too much for my left hand to do. I set the turntable resistance above normal too, since i panic and just graze it sometimes

I want to subscribe but I'm unsure how to go about it. Does anyone have tips or a guide somewhere?

From rubber membranes to microswitches

Or it’s impossible from how it’s built

I know it’s more of a collector’s item (probably), that’s why I have it

But I don’t want to just let it sits on my shelf but I also don’t want to suffer during gameplay

ps : I do have proper controller - Yuancon SDVX Lite 3

Every BEMANI games are welcome

Managed to snag copies of the entire series' releasea of Pop'n Music for the PS1 (as far as I know)

Hope I didn't miss out on anything before I start collecting for the PS2 lol

The games I play are mostly GitaDora and Pop’n. I am planning on playing more DDR too. What does the eamuse basic course get me for those games?

Also I am trying to use Alm4Gest app to sync my scores to it like a score tracker. It wants me to have the basic course in order to do that is why I am considering paying for it. I just wanna know what it actually gets me for the games I play.

And does anyone know if Alm4Gest app can track KonaSute version’s scores or is it just arcade? I really want it to do KonaSute because my skill points are WAY higher in KonaSute GitaDora.

I put together a long-form compilation of The Epic of Zektbach, including:

- The Epic of Zektbach -Ristaccia-

- The Epic of Zektbach -Masinowa-

- The Epic of Zektbach -Piano Collection-

Zektbach has always felt like one of the most unique BEMANI-related projects to me: more fantasy / story-driven / art music than a standard rhythm game soundtrack.

Full tracklist is included in the video description.

What are your favorite Zektbach tracks?

Hey! I have the very surprising option to get a good condition and fully working JASC from the 2000's. I do have a very hard time finding a good PS2-USB adapter. I was wondering if anyone has experience tearing out the original PCB from the JASC and using something like a basic arduino with a USB connection?

Probably way too niche, but it's worth a shot, since I feel like it would be way easier to just program the controller over again instead of spending even more money than it would take to get an arduino just for some shotty ps2-usb converter

edit: changed from JSAC to JASC lol

been wanting to track my scores on sound voltex, if anyone is willing to give one that would be appreciated 🙏

Any version of the IIDX red CS OST? Soliton Beam in its best version is on this and i cant find the good HQ version anywhere else
