Wow, an update.
Well, only one little piece of info, now that ITG 2 is out.
The whitelist that was with ITG 1 is not there anymore for ITG 2, and thus any card that is compatible with Linux will work on an ITG 2 machine. _________________

In The Groove allows the use of edits. All edits must be in the .edit format, which are somewhat different from the .sm format.
The .edit file should look something like this:
#SONG:[Insert song name here];
#NOTES:
[dance-single or dance-double]:
[insert edit name here]:
Edit:
[insert ranking number here]:
0.694,0.753,0.359,0.539,0.175: //Edit by: Your Name
[The steps are placed here]

You do know that "0.694,0.753,0.359,0.539,0.175" is just the groove radar data that probably fluctuates and can change from song to song, right? _________________

I gave you that for the example song "Disconnected Mobius". Each song has different radar values. -_- That's my point. _________________

The radar values do not actually matter, seeing as ITG doesn't display the radar.
Also, ITG2 does things a bit differently when you put in your card. If you are at the title screen (after inserting a credit) and insert your card, you will see a card icon with a question mark on the side you put the card in. This means the machine is checking your card. When it is done, if the card is OK, the machine will change it to a normal icon. If there is a problem, you will see a different icon and hear a noise indicating this. If you have started your game, but are not at the Select Music screen, you will see Card Check next to the card icon while it is checking your card. If it passes, your Display Name will be written next to the icon. If it does not, the type of error encountered will be there instead (I got Card Mount Error once).
The card check can take a fair bit of time, so it's recommended to not start the game until the card check passes, otherwise you might not be able to use it that round. But, IMO, this is preferable to the latest version of ITG1's method where it did not check your card until before loading the music select screen (and if the card errored, you were SOL for that round). |

Hey, I couldnt find the answer anywhere...
What is going to happen to the stats files when ITG2 is installed? Will you have to start with a clean card, or can you keep your scores? _________________

I believe this is what happens:
A new folder called 'In The Groove 2' is created on your drive. It carries over all the scores from ITG1 as all the songs are returning. Your screenshot names (as in "screenshot0001") start all over, so basically the number 'counter' starts all over.
I'm only 90% sure on this information though. The only thing I'm happy about is and know for sure is happening is stats.xml is faster to load up in your browser but the price you pay for that is not knowing how many fantastics, whatever you got. It only displays the % score and grade. _________________

My ITG2 stats.xml
I don't think it reads from both folders, as the ITG1 stats.xml is nowhere on that server. Also, the ITG1 marathons were placed in a folder on ITG2, and the machine adapts those entries.
ITG2 doesn't write to the stats.xml found in the ITG1 folder, to my knowledge. Otherwise, I'm assuming I'd see Pandemonium somewhere in my Song Top Scores section (I play Driven A LOT), but it's not around. |

That's cool then. It has scores for ITG1 too on it. Does it carry over from ITG1 to the ITG2 stats.xml? _________________

I wonder - given how XML works, you could probably set up a symbolic link to the ITG folder and call it "In The Groove 2", and then have a combined stats file which updates regardless of which game you play. Anyone try this yet? _________________

[edit]
Wait a minute, I'm an idiot. A shortcut to the FOLDER will have a SIGNATURE FOR the STATS FILE as well!

What other information can you put in the Editable.ini?
Is it possible to modify how your flash drive behaves with ITG? (Like maybe scripting?)
I'm pretty into linux, I just wanted to know how stepm- er - In the Groove reads/writes on a flash drive.
BTW: I have a LAKS USB Watch, and it has always worked with ITG1 _________________

I believe you can not. 90% sure of this. _________________

ITG only reads the files it creates. The underlying OS treats the drive as a removable SCSI drive. |

Hmm, just tried my new Sandisk Mini Cruzer 256mb for the first time on a local machine and it did not work. The green light came on but nothing happened on the machine to acknowledge it. After reading through this topic I have formatted the drive completely and will try it on our good machine in the main arcade, hopefully it works in there and the fact it didn't work on the first machine was due to badly connected USB ports or something. |

My friend told me to get a SanDisk Cruzer Mini because he said they ALWAYS work on ITG1 and thus ITG2. Thus, I bought one and it works on ITG1 so should work on ITG2. I reccomend that. _________________

I assume since it is on the whitelist for ITG1, it should therefore automatically be usable in ITG2. It only makes sense.
I am 95% sure. _________________
