Initial D World - Discussion Board / Forums > Version 5 General Discussion > I need a IDAS5 card


Posted by: Subbz Feb 21 2011, 02:47 PM
I used to play IDAS3 back in the day and stopped. Just recently I saw an IDAS5 machine when I went to our local arcade to go play SSF4AE. I played ID and I really liked how it played plus it was a bit nostalgic for me. I think it's improved a lot since AS3 days. The only thing is that this machine doesn't have any cards and I can't make any of my own. I've tried coming back after a few weeks and still nothing so I doubt they'll be putting anymore cards any time soon. I really wanna play but I don't want to waste my money playing a stock car over and over and not progressing in the game at all. So here's where I need your guy's help. I'm looking for an IDAS5 card that doesn't have anything at all or barely any time spent on it at all. I can pay for what the card is worth if need be. But I'd really appreciate it if someone can donate a crappy but useable card =D. But I highly doubt anyone would be kind enough to do that lol. I'd really appreciate it if you guys can help me out here.

1. What version is that machine?
2. Where are you located?

I'm pretty sure there are people here who would be willing to help you once they know your answer of that two questions.

I'm not sure which version it is but I live in nor cal in the bay area. The closest machines are in Milpitas Golfland and Sunnyvale Golfland.

The easiest way to determine the version of the machine is to pay attention to the opening screen (the still screen with Takumi in it). There are two versions, EXP 1.0 and EXP 2.0, the two are mutually exclusive (you can't play 1.0 with a 2.0 card and vice versa) but the difference is actually rather minor (no physics change or new courses, unlike MT3DX and MT3DX+ for instance).

Actually, you can use an EXP1.0 on an EXP2.0 machine, but once you even use it on an EXP2.0, it's forever an EXP2.0 card....

I think it may be ver 1.0. From what I've read, ver 2.0 has an online option and I'm quite positive those machines don't have it.

all the golfland machines are version exp 2.0.

Oh cool. Thanks for clearing that up!

P.S. And also do you happen to know any machines that currently have cards in stock? If not do you have any cards you're not using at all with minimal play?

i think the castro valley golfland has some. also u can only buy cards when its not arcade mania so yeah.

Cool thanks for that info! I'll probably go and check that place out next week.

Update:
I went to Castro Valley Golf Land the machines doesn't have any cards because apparently making new cards causes the machines to crash so they took them out.

Update 2:
I visited Milpitas Golfland today and to my surprise they finally had cards in stock! So I took the opportunity to make and upgrade my brand new Evo III. Thanks to everyone that responded and tried to help me out smile.gif
