lmao the picture you got isn't beatmania iidx... seriously you need to climb the topic a little bit like what yuki suggested.

In real life during yum cha with friends, what you missed you might be able to ask because what comes out from your mouth are all flew with the airs, online isn't the same, its all in black and white, so you can browse back, save the resources, don't ask what has been discussed earlier, always climb the topic before you post a single thing in a thread.

sorry, but i really didn't see beatmania before, so i don't know anything about beatmania

Technika require really good technique to play and win, i hardly able to beat level 3 songs without any practive.
And thats why you see, many of the genting's technika dont have much scores recorded.
*
i got top 5, 6 for my scores
previously i can beat level 7 son of sun PP (grade C), haven't try blythe PP and sin PP (the hardest for non-platinum in popular mixing), but so far haven't pass any technical mixing before....
but this month i'll definitely win!!! i practiced a lot lol (pretend playing on monitor, and ended up my monitor has lots of "bruises" haha...i even practiced with technika 2 and 3 songs like bamboo on bamboo, black swan, cypher gate, xeus which is insanely hard...) i'm pretty confident that i can beat all non-platinum technical mixing song sets XD

i just hope there is "challenger set" which may be the hardest set of songs, otherwise it will be "customizer set" which is the one i wanna play the most (especially level 9 boss song - son of sun TP)

One question, do you get the member card for the genting technika? They dont sell card they but i think you can buy card somewhere else and the machine is online.

And first time playing technika really failed miserably cos didnt know the touch screen is SO FREAKING HUGE! take lots of time (and $$$$) to get comfortable with the game... LOL

But definately use earphone, less distraction! Bring own headset = win!


Added on January 6, 2012, 5:52 amIm actually waiting for the PS Vita version, and it might be the reason why i buy PSvita... have tons of good time with DJMax Portable on PSP. and almost the only game i play on my PSP.
*
no i didn't get the member card, because genting didn't include the membership for the machine which means they only bring in the machine itself
wait...did you just said that they are online? i thought they are offline already as the server for T1 is down long time ago
and if you buy card from somewhere else other than malaysia, i don't you can use it as it violates one of term of service

and about the psvita version, at first i want to buy psvita, but i personally think that the screen is a little too small for me...moreover it costs over RM1k...not to mention the shipment tax

btw, if you only tried dj max portable, then i recommend you to play black square, clazziquai edition and fever as most of the songs for technika are from these games

I saw a Technika machine in a mini-arcade in Kepong Village Mall, but it was unplugged (that was 2 weeks ago)

Google maps :

*
O.O "unplugged" you mean it is ready to be shift out?
lol another failed investment after IOI mall that i heard from someone

what version is that machine: T1, T2 or the latest one T3?

Well it could either be preparing to be plugged in, or be shipped out.
and it was a T1. lol
*
if T1, the possibility to be shipped out will be higher (unless he or she really ships in the cheapest technika), or else it won't be shipped out if it's T3 since T3 just released internationally about a month ago
btw, have you ask the manager before, maybe you can get information form him or her

maybe can recommend those arcade manager or importer to get the solo version, 1 screen only, much more cheaper.
*
owwwhhhhh yeah, WHY don't i just remember about solo version?
wait...is the solo version already on market?!
lol i gonna smack the pentavision staff who didn't announce about it (or i just plain forgetful about it already =.=")

but, the only thing i feel concern is that without the 2nd screen, it won't attract much audience

they announced long time ago, didnt know if technika 3 got solo version.
many arcade also has only 1 screen.
if cheaper to import = faster breakeven = more possibility to import (more) = we win!
*
O.O do you know which country already has technika with 1 screen?

EDIT: lol there is T3 solo version, but....the price is not much difference
http://www.bmigaming.com/games-video-dancemachines.htm

it is only 1.5k dollars difference, perhaps it's the copyright of the songs and the hardwares that make it expensive?
not to mention the cost of the internet and platinum membership, i wonder how much the total cost is

Not in this kinda industry, and you know the industry behind arcade centre in malaysia is very dark, its not really "official" in malaysia, whereas other country they get official licensing for their arcade machines.

One of the reason why we still see daytona in malaysia, in other country already got daytona hd running already (during 09 to be precise), now we only able to get it, saw them on midvalley.
*
that's why i planned to send a request to some new places like galactic laser in mid valley, that shouldn't be a problem, right?

btw about the license, you say "not 'official' in malaysia"
is it because of big crackdown in year 2000?

Well you may try, i've tried to ask bts arcade centre to bring in beatmania iidx and ez2dj 7th trax, they say its very hard to just bring stuffs in, even if they got the money to do so, its just too hard.
*
what you mean hard to bring in even they have money?

after i hear some rumors from people (IOI mall, somewhere in kepong, penang), i can say that technika is not that difficult to bring in but it's still quite challenging

actually very easy to make technika profitable.
RM1 PER GAME

END OF STORY!

it's impossible bro =P
it will be at least RM3 if it's possible, or else it will be RM4, depend on the total cost

Take this as example, a market surveyer who always go around shopping mall looking at stuffs that are trending right now, lets say sushi is current trend, and the shopping mall has like 20+ sushi restaurant and all of them are full of people, surely the market surveyer will consider investing into this business, you get the sound?

So now comes back to the arcade machines, if the game company doesn't see the potential market in Malaysia, they won't simply give out the licenses to the arcade owners, lets say if they really give them the license to bring that certain arcade machines in, and no people play, they are other parties may talk bad about their game being bad, etcetc.

There were a time i was playing ez2dj in bts, and suddenly 2 japanese guy came to ask me whether got a lot of people play the game that i playing or not, and they were holding those note like doing a survey or something, then after i went out, saw the 2 japanese guy talking with the person in charge there.

so, the "key" is to have a number of returning customers?
seriously, what can we do to "eliminate" the dark side of arcade industry?

in that case in msia djmax technika is destined to fail

even for me paying rm2/game is "expensive" and u only get to play at max maybe 4-5 songs if ure superb?
*
hey don't say such a thing, ok? be confident
i can play all popular mixing songs (not all technical mixing though because i only play once every 3-4 months, therefore i played about 15-20 games per trip)

what a cheapskate lar...RM2 still say expensive...RM3 or 4 i might consider, but not RM5

can confirm the place got djmax technika?

And btw, not easy to run arcade, genting is how much, RM 4 per play. Wow my wallet can bleed (maybe will go up in next week LOL)

I think another reason Malaysia does not get the newest and greatest arcade, is because of the price to get them new. most of the machine is either used or refurb, only then they can maintain the place.
*
ya...even bring in ONLY 1 brand new machine is quite suffering already
btw, how often do you go to genting?
i'll be there on eve of chinese new year eve, otherwise it will be after my 2nd semester exam over

Lol new genting is first world. They DO HAVE 2 units of technika there!
Genting is undergoing massive renovation now, i guess everything will be done by CNY. No more pavillion & snow world, become casino already tongue.gif
*
is it T1?
if it is, then i guess they must have shift the 2 into the new genting maybe because they believe that 5 at a same spot is just too many

but...who knows, let's see whether my guess is right or not once it reopens

Yea, its T1, guessing this is consider one of the newer title arcade and i guess doing well, they move quite some popular games to first world arcade. before this all are lame games. LOL
*
you sure it's "doing well"? or perhaps generally not many people hang around in vision city?
because i rarely see people play it

just for information: dj max technika 3 has currently been voted as "arcade game of the year 2011" LOL sadly not in malaysia T.T
http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F...Up4JwzBdvV_USlA

EDIT: forgot to tell you something, originally the new genting arcade park doesn't have technika

so, how's your gaming? =)
