"HARD-WARE ERROR -1N
INCORRECT SECURITY CASSETTE
PLEASE CALL ATTENDANT
CREDIT 0
COIN 0"
That's a new one to me.
I've been trying to follow some of the problems this machine is having. Besides a major overhaul, someone should tell them that they should:
A. Purchase a new Panasonic CR series CD-Rom drive and
B. Reburn their copy of extreme.
I recieved that error once myself and it was a bad burn of Extreme.
Anyway, doing those two things could solve a LOT of the problems that that machine has been experiencing.

The bad thing that it's Pump It Up Exceed which, in my opinion, lacks the professionalism of the DDR series. It's definately not in walking distance and the only way I can get there is if Chad or someone else takes me. The people there aren't hostile.
You'd be surprised at how what some of us thing as the three fundamentals of DDR
1. Good Sound
2. Good Pads
3. Good Price
Doesn't seem to matter to the general populace. In my area, everyone complains about Stonybrook being surrounded with less than intelligent people and poorer sound quality and Lazer Blaze having just about everything in the book wrong with it, and guess what? THEY STILL GO. I haven't quite figured out what attracts them to keep on attending these places, instead of, for instance, U of L that offers the three fundamentals. (Not to say nobody comes, but far and large the majority of DDR players dont come on a regular basis). Whether it be out of excessive convienience or lack of foresight, people tend to migrate to the place that attracted them first and continually go there until something drastic happens to steer them elsewhere.
