Odd IIDX question: screen

Mr. A · Trick Member Joined: 20 Oct 2003 Location: INTERNET

Hey folks. Well, hell has frozen over again. It seems that an arcade in Erie, Pennsylvania, might be getting a IIDX system.

I have a question about the screen, the big-screen - is there some protective cover in front of it so some smartass kid won't punch the screen (plasma I assume) and break it? Also, what is the resolution?

just do what the arcades do with all the controll panels do and bolt some plexiglax or lexan over it

WHICH ARCADE MIGHT BE GETTING IIDX?

( I live no where near Erie, but a road trip might be in the making)

All I can tell you is that it's a 16:9 ratio screen... I want to say... 51 inches across?

Family First. The arcade op called it a "Beatmania 2" and had absolutely no idea whether it was something like Beatmania 2nd Mix or IIDX. We're crossing our fingers it means IIDX.

www.ddrerie.com <-- forums might have some info

I've heard that before. (True Story)

Arcade: "Hey! We're getting Beatmania 2!"
Players: "Awsome! What version? Although we don't mind much."
Arcade: "Dunno."

Weeks later - Beatmania Complete Mix 2

I really hope it's a IIDX and not 2nd mix...

I hope you guys get an IIDX machine up there. I roadtripped 2 hours to play 8th Style in Augusta, Georgia, and its a really fun experience. Just make sure you know what you are doing before turning on the effectors, or make sure you ask someone before turning on effectors, or make sure you don't end up with someone who turns on your effectors at full volume while you're playing a song. *points at Xybur whilst making last bit of advice*

All I can say is if some jerk kid punches the screen out of a IIDX machine, he'd better hope you guys don't find him in a dark ally.

And all I can say is maybe you should NOT use boldface type because it's really goddamn annoying.

If it doesn't have a plastic protection, give it one. I would hate to hear about a beautiful IIDX machine getting destroyed like that

More like Lexan. A thin sheet of plastic wouldn't do anything but keep the dust off of it. If you want to make sure nobody (for whatever stupid reason shit like this happens...like some jackass trying to matrix-walk while playing 5.1.1. with his tongue) screws up the screen, then put some sort of hard covering over it. Something that would resist an impact.
