Even tho it works, they don't trust no one. Last time I tried it in Hong Kong, but they just yell at me and swearing and stuff... |

The closest thing that happened was when I put a DC2 into the machine and it said some kind of error. The attendant turned the machine off and then my card came out when it turned back on. I was pissed, cause if it was lost, I don't know what I would've done. |

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,294 Member No.: 13,958 Joined: Oct 22nd 2005 Location: Binghamton, New York | At Menlo in New Jersey, the machine never jams. It may have before, but I don't know. Faith, you know Sean and Jake. Ask them. They've played there longer than I have. They would know if it jammed before or not. But what sucks is that a lot of noobs play there, and the cards in the machine get used up quickly. So, you have to be careful sometimes when you have to transfer data or renew. |

IDW Expert Member Group: Members Posts: 144 Member No.: 2,236 Joined: Jul 9th 2004 Location: Update Profile | I work at an arcade, and this is a frequent problem with one of our machines. But it's really easy to fix. When you renew your card, the game reads the data from your card, stores it in its cache, stamps an "invalid" on your card and spits it back out, and then attempts to reprint your data on a new card. However, unless the card box and the card dispensing mechanism are lined up perfectly, the card will not be able to come out, and the dispenser will jam up, thus causing a "card reader error". On older machines, where the card dispenser mechanism is loose and worn out, this is going to happen a lot. All you have to do is open up the machine, re-align the card box with the dispenser, and press start/view change, and it should repeat the process again...and if it doesn't work, just do it again. There is really no way that you can lose your card in an inspection, unless the arcade attendant is a dumbass. And knowing how most arcade attendants are, they either know how to fix and operate the machine (unlikely), or don't give a crap and will let you do whatever you want with it (likely!). |

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 10 Member No.: 13,656 Joined: Oct 11th 2005 Location: Update Profile | it happened to me at george street galaxy world, twice in 2 weeks. First my data wasnt saved after a race, and then 1 week later my data wasnt saved after a race and it jammed and so the attendant took out my card, after i had pressed start +view change a couple of hundred times, and now it woont read my card . That really annoyed me, and i also lost a bad card in instpection, but i was more annoyed at losing my card after a normal race, is there no way to fix this??? the morale of this story is for all aussies to not use the crappy, badly maintaned machines at galaxy world - george street turner |

yeh i went to galactic circus a few weeks ago and the initial d machines were badly maintained like the steering wheel never stopped turning, like you could do 1000000 degrees with them. so i decided to go back to intencity where they fix the machines after they find out there is something wrong with them. but the only thing they havnt fixed is the rocket chair (never locks in place) | ||
