Funny that it took this long for someone to play an inappropriate chart, get caught, and have the USBs disabled. I figured someone would've played some gangsta beats at Putt-Putt as soon as r21 came out.
I play LIl Wayne - A Milli ONLY after I get the cabinet keys from the management here to turn the woofer up to 100%.
I played on the Stepmania cabinet on Friday for a good hour or so and it was actually pretty god damn fun. It made me want to play DDR for serious again and the extra-wide timing window didn't get me discouraged by how bad I've become.
The only thing that really pissed me the fuck off was that they disabled extra stage. Why the fuck would you do this? Either drop the price to 2 tokens for 3 songs or stick it at 3 tokens but enable extra stage so people who aren't horrible at the game can get a 4th song.
So, what are the current music game machines here? I'm trying to update ZIv's arcade database so it doesn't look like we only have 6 arcades in all of Indiana.
I actually just got back from a weekend trip. They had 'ITG 3' with a whole mess of song packs, and an off sync stepmania cab with damn near every DDR mix (console included.) Both were 3 tokens.

The beat should be.................../\ here.
The beat ends up around......................../\ here somewhere.
The machine does have 1 credit doubles, which is totally win.
Edit: If Marv timing was on, it would be much more obvious.
lololol so the Stepmania cab has Endless Mode enabled for whatever reason.
I played through the entire 5th mix folder, all 40 songs, on one credit with no breaks. Some facts:
- All 40 songs took approximately 70 minutes to play through
- There are about 14,500 steps between all 5th mix songs
- A fat guy like me can heel-toe and bar rape to a 96.1% perfect rate. Proving that DDR can be easy-peazy endurance-wise depending on how you play.
- It cost me 3 tokens (37.5 cents) to play endless mode. That's a little bit more less than a penny per song!
- Playing continuously for 70 minutes is absolute hell on your feet.
Nope! As far as I know no one plays DDR there anymore. If you're serious about dancing game you are playing ITG or a legit DDR mix. The perfect window is so large on the Stepmania cabinet that I've sight-read AAA'd more than a handful of songs. I like playing all the old stuff though and I still get a workout.
It's kind of funny, that particular cabinet is what got me started playing DDR a decade ago and I am still fucking here God I am pathetic.
