E-amusement: Difference between revisions

The Asian e-amusement service undergoes maintenance every weekday morning from 5:00 to 7:00 JST. An extended maintenance period affecting all regions occurs every third Tuesday of the month from 2:00 to 7:00 JST. During this period, arcade games that run under the e-amusement service are still playable, any scores or progress made towards unlocks will not be saved. All e-amusement pages with the exception of the portal site are also temporarily taken down, rendering any customization options or score data that requires the web interface inaccessible. Any arcade games that are running in demo mode during this window will display a message stating that the network is under maintenance and e-amusement passes cannot be used.

== Registering an e-amusement pass on an arcade machine ==

e-amusement passes can be purchased from your arcade operator. Registering a new card can be done on any e-amusement enabled machine. As an example, in beatmania IIDX:

# Insert / Scan your card into the reader on the side. You will be shown the terms and conditions; select the agree option "はい".

# Input a 4-digit PIN. This is used to authenticate your card. Input it again to confirm.

# Enter your IIDX DJ name (up to 6 characters). Then select your region.

# You will be asked to confirm your beatmania IIDX details.

DanceDanceRevolution:

# Set a 4-digit pin to use as an authentication code. Repeat the same combination to confirm.

# Enter your DDR Dancer Name (8 characters) and then select your region/country. America has regions sorted by state.

# Your DDR Code and dancer information is now saved.

Subsequently, simply insert or scan your card, enter your PIN, and register your card on that game (if you have not done so).

Many of the important e-amusement management and game pages can be accessed from the [http://p.eagate.573.jp/gate/p/eamusement/index.html e-amusement tab] of the e-amusement homepage.
