Um, the screen lag was mentioned by those that went to the Japanese test actually so it's obvious that Konami has some bugs to workout. (Atleast it won't be as bad as IIDX 9th Style)MonMotha wrote:Is it possible that US cabinets don't use the same monitor as the Japanese ones? That would certainly not be unheard of. Every US dedicated DDR cabinet design has been different in some meaningful ways, to include the monitor, than their Japanese counterparts. This goes all the way back to the old US 1.5 and USA cabinets and includes the Betson SN cabinets, too.
If it's not the same monitor, whoever made them probably just drove over to Wal-Mart and picked up the cheapest TV they could find in the right size. That's what Putt-Putt tends to do up here. Too bad those cheap TVs almost always have pretty notable scaler lag...
Edit: A HUGE announcement has been made and posted on Zenius-I-Vanisher.com that really caught me off guard. For those who hate Betson Enterprises with a passion and a fury, this news is guaranteed to make them happy as Konami has restarted their Arcade Division in the US! Now MAYBE we'll get some better quality US DDR machines. (Then again, given KoA's track record, it may also backfire.)
