Not sure. I'll check tomorrow. Make a list people! I'll do FAQ's as needed until Hoosierana gets one.

Is there anyway you could get a MODERATELY clean rip of Healing-D-Vision? Because (last time I checked) in the one that all the stepfiles use, you can't even hear the song, just the guy stomping out the notes.

Problem with that is I have no sound recording device, plus this machine has auto fail if your life bar runs out.

According to Jason Enos (Konami Rep) there will be an edit data option available. However, I'll believe it when I see it!

Yeah, the manager said they got an email from corperate about PS2 memory card edit data slots. I'm wondering with these new PS2 slots if they can be retrofitted to say, Extreme, and used for edit data.

DDR Extreme already HAS a memory card slot option. They're just not on most machines in the Indianapolis area. You just export the edit from your home mix (even the US versions should work!) and then copy the resulting file over to an original playstation memory card (PS2 won't work). Shove the card in before starting the game and enjoy.

If you think they'll backport new hardware to the old stuff, you're nuts. They want to drive sales of the new cabinets, not foster people continuing to putz around on old, unlicensed, bootleg machines.

I played for the first time today. Aside form a few synching issues, and general pad suck-ness, I was impressed.

It's going to be PS2 instead of PS1 though. But apparently, even if it's an upgraded Extreme, it has to have the new mem. card readers.

They changed hardware for SuperNova, so that's not surprising at all. The way they do it in Japan right now is using magnetic cards (similar to the ones used for Initial D). I was saying that there's virtually no chance of them making the new memory card readers work with the old Extreme stuff. They have no reason to, and a bunch of reasons not to.

Besides, is copying the edits over to a playstation card that hard? Only problem is that it limits you to a certain number of edits since the cards are slotted. If you want to play edits on Extreme, that's how you do it.

Wait... so can you use the us ddr cs games on the extreme machines?

Post by **MonMotha** » Sun Aug 06, 2006 9:07 pm

No, you can use edit steps exported from the CS versions on the arcade *if* the arcade has memory card slots (most around here don't seem to). The procedure depends on the mix, but basically you "export" the desired edit from your edit library, then (using the PS2 shell) copy the resulting save onto an original playstation memory card. If you put that card in the slots before you start your game, the edits will appear in the game (a memory card icon will be next to the song, hit -> -> on the stage to access the edit). The operator can also permanently load edits onto the machine from the operator menu.

I'm pretty sure this works with the US CS releases (at least prior to Extreme), but my sister seems to have misplaced my US CS discs, so I can't check. Obviously, it'll work with the JP CS releases.

Any reason why people would want to play songs from Extreme on Super Nova? There was a guy doing that for lots of doubles songs that are already in Extreme. I wouldn't normally care, but there was a much chea[er Extreme machine with working pads right next to it. Does Super Nova bring anything new to older songs?

It brings, dancers, pretty colors, and poor synching to old songs
