So, I couldn't find a place with Solo machines in stock, so I'm getting an ITG2 Dedi, it's already confirmed. :D

making payments on it? who are you buying it from that's letting you make payments, and how do you know they won't rip you off? I didn't think there were any new cabs available anywhere.

It's not new, it's used. And we've set up a contract. etc. Details suck on the internet so I'll leave it at that.

ew, payments on a used cab ? :/

So? It's a dedi. Not an upgrade.

I'm jealous!  But, I sure hope you set up competent escrow to cover your back end if the deal falls through, especially if it's "on the Internet".  How many bones?

Legal contracts, reviewed by a lawyer (his end and mine). :) Let's just say this, if I don't get the cab, he gives me [amount agreed to on the contract, not letting you guys know how much I'm getting it for]. And the cabinet. 

what revision is it

Better question...

Is it R1? 

r23 he said (I think, but don't quote me on that), but I have an r21 patch on my computer, and Rynker is going to hack it for me.

So, are you going to put the ITG 3 Open Groove Theme on it when it's done?  It looks awesome.

I dunno, Rynkers making a couple of themes for me.

I also like Obsurity. :D

Since hacking a machine you own and are not using or selling anything on it for a personal profit, I believe this SHOULD BE perfectly legal to discuss it.

Haha. I'm probably wrong.

Knowing Konami, probably. :P

but I have an r21 patch on my computer

No.... don't....

It's safe, I've tested it with an HDD image that was updated to r23. Don't worry, it won't die.

haha. i've never seen anyone write like they'd pronounce it 'ach dee dee'.

It's an odd thing to put in the contract though... "if you decide not to honour the contract and just take my money, then you'll have to give me even more money AND honour the contract"

It's safe, I've tested it with an HDD image that was updated to r23. Don't worry, it won't die.

That's not what I'm saying... I'm saying that r21 sucks and shouldn't replace r23... 

....huh?

Why?

R23 = no .ogg workaround.

And? R21 still has the 5MB limit. And you can still play patched OGGs on R23. They will just end at the 2:00 mark. R21 also has broken BG animations and, according to many people, an offsync global offset.

If you're that desperate to play long songs in R21 then just find the patched R23 elf. 

Well, it's going to be hacked.... so it really doesn't matter anyways.

r21 == broken background videos

I wish there is an ITG2 dedicab in the UK. I'm stuck with a ****ty r2 upgrade without usb slots with a piece of A4 paper for a banner and the screen spazzing out like mad.

r2? lol ****sux

Sucks? It's bloody awful. I mean, would you take a machine with this banner seriously?

And would you take it seriously if the screen does this?
