2008 Oni-Cade New Additions
it's a little early since we have not even announced next years date but thought I would start the new addition lists.
Well I finally got an upgrade to my KeyboardMania 2nd mix to a 3rd mix
going to part this out. total cost should hopefully be within the $500 range.
Note: Came out to almost exactly $500 at $496. Should have all the parts by end of the month.
song list can be found here

As an additional note. I was preping my 2nd mix for the upgrade and checking the cable connection and noticed my I/O cable was a little loose. I secured it and low and behold my Neons lite back up and some of my strobes started to work. I am also getting more sound now (think I was missing a channel). It's like a brand new game :) I just wish it did not weight 500lbs to move around :) Still looking for the Guitar freak and Drummania to hook into this.
OK,
Got all the parts in and installed so here it is
I am probably more excited about this then most people. The parts shipped in from Canada in less then 1 week. I have enought parts left over to rebuild anything that breaks, but hopefully will not have to.
One thing to note is it has 38 songs and 2 hidden. it carried over 5 songs from the 2nd mix and 5 from the first Keyboard Mania.
It kept Saber dance and Akumajo Dracula Medley which seemed to be the most popular people played. It lost Sun Beam though and manhatten sports club which where the ones I liked. Oh well I can always reprogram it if I really want to play those songs again.
the graphics and hits are a bit spurced up as well. also seems to have more modes of play.
oh, and It came with the Multi session Panal (which I did not have before) but need the other games to hook it up.
Well I know it is not the latest IIDX cab but I did manage to get a good deal on a III appended 7th mix cab. I blew out both my arms loading and unloading it off my truck but I should have time to clean it up tomorrow (if I can get it all back together) and supply pictures. Provideded everything is working ok (as it was before I picked it up) I will be bringing it to the show this year as well on free play of course :) got a fairly good deal totaled out at about $520
The beatmania III is going to need some work. so far
The CD-rom is acting flaky
The Monitor is of kelt
one of the Molex connectors is GONE
not sure about the Floppy drive yet
Several screws and such are missing
Right now it is not booting up all the way (was booting up at show). however never fear I have a complete Firebeat hardware set with all the stuff I need (except for the molex connector) along with some other spare hardware laying around. I will revive it fully even if it kills me which could happen if it falls over on me while I am working on it :)
it actually should not be so bad. I took out the firebeat yesterday and tore it apart. I will be putting it all together when I get home tonight, to get a good test run. worse case i will have to buy a new monitor or I may just get a LCD to put in there since it uses a standard VGA connector
oh complete song list is here if you are intereseted

ok, finally figured out why the machine would not boot. appears one of my 12v leads is bad. so it is now up a running again whew. now to get the other work done
Just keep doing what you're doing! Last year your games wen't a dissapointment!
I cannot wait to see the final line-up of arcades you've got lined up!
I only ask is please bring back Buriki One! I was totally into that game in all of Oni-con 2006 something about it just drew me in. Yea just ignore my request lol XDDD
But cant wait tho!
I'll speak with Mr. Big and see if he can bring the Hyper64.More than likely he will unless SF4 and XII actually show up.
I want to thank those who made such an awesome Oni-cade last year it was so much fun and there were so many things to do! Thanks so much and keep up the good work!!!
Well,
on the Hyper I really only have about 4 games (FFWA,Burki one, Samurai Shodown 64, and road edge) I could probably wire it in a neo cab fairly easly but to tell the truth I think you were the only one playing Burki :)
I have to look at my cab ratio, I do already have 2 mvs cabs.
Still working on the beatmania. now the controllers are not working but I think this is also a power problem. If the board used a standard power supply it would be no problem but it is a propritary system.
still hoping to get a juke box setup for the show as well. I about to place a fairly large order of boards and such that I want to put in to refresh my selection.
Also word of warning this maybe the last year for the Neo Print. I only have a few picture rolls left I picked up for cheap and am going to keep 1 for myself. once those rolls are gone I will stop bringing it unless i can source somewhere else I can get the rolls for around $20. probably will theme it with holloween and maybe deserts although being in november I should probably put in a christmas selection. Deserts take 16 different pictures so it may lead to blindness.
Phil
ok Just placed an order for the following arcade items
Guilty Gear XX Slash Naomi
Power Stone Capcom Naomi
Spikers Battle SEGA Naomi
Mushihime Tama CAVE
Spectral VS Generation PCB IGS PGM
Oriental Legend II IGS PGM
Mushihime tama looked different for a puzzle, Thought it may add more variety. Oriental legend II is a new game but graphics or ok. and of course the rest are older. I only have a certain number of cabs so no telling
