What springs should I buy?

Reposting since last thread 404'd

>Is it better to practice with random on or random off? I've been stuck trying to get passed 9's into 10's.

>learning in general
Random off.
>I can't read certain chords that aren't 1357 or 246
or
>I can't do X-Y trills at all but I'm fine with Y-Z trills
or
>I can do certain streams but some streams feel random to me and I can't keep up
Random on to practice.

Random is also good to try if you want to improve scores on a song you've already passed normally.

>>14876946
That's too light.

>>14876801
You probably don't need to buy separate springs anyway. The ones in the buttons are probably fine unless they're 200g+.

>>14876856
>Is it better to practice with random on or random off?
Random on. Always.

>>14876880

Thank you for playing

>>14876801
with 50g switches most people recommend 60g or 100g springs
daos come with 40g springs

>>14876880
You don't, it's dead senpai.

You can't expect to get one from sows either, Psun and Pigs were never related in any way.

>>14877054
I though 50/50 was the way to go?

random is cheating

>>14877058
It depends. 50/100 is how most the AC are equipped with, but after some time the springs will eventually lose their resistance so they'll essentially become 50/50.

Is there anyway someone outside of sows can get a IIDX HDD?

>>14880573
i found tricoro on my own in december 2013, a year before joining sows
spada leaks were also plastered all over these threads a while back

>>14880573
also, nice 573

>>14880573
Yes, but I would recommend you still joined sows in order to get access to information and stuff.

>>14880573
Yes, there's plenty of leaks for everything at least up to spada.

You'll have to find them yourself, as they're not supposed to be outside of sows.

Again, once you have the data you're going to need a PCBID anyway, or run ealocalserver, but this disables saving scores.

>>14880587
Been looking for a while, found an old tricoro pastebin but I heard it didn't work. Haven't seen anything about spada.

>>14880598
Honestly at this point I'll take anything to get some decent practice. My only arcade is like 2 hours away and LR2 is seeming to cause more harm than good.

>>14880608
LR2 should not cause more harm than good if you're playing on a controller.

It helps with reading quite a bit, although timing is a bit looser and I don't think there's a way to tighten it up.

tl;dr get into sows it's not even hard lurk moar

Oh, also, there's no leaks of omnimix, as far as anybody knows, so you really should get in.

>>14880615
Well it is helping with reading, but timing is so much rougher on actual IIDX.

>>14880605
You could even get pendual if you search more. Hint: I can't post it because if I did, it would be detected as spam.

>>14880615
>there's no leaks of omnimix, as far as anybody knows
I know I got it from a leak.

>>14880643
Well I don't know anything then.

Also, protip, if you get a leak, you can seed it when/if you get into sows for ez ratio, so you can actually download AC data later.

>>14880647
Thanks for the tip.

>>14880629
set each chart's rank setting to normal and lr2's jgreat window is only 1ms bigger on each end

or you can set them to hard and have it 1ms smaller than iidx on each end

Do non-combo breaking Poors count against you?

Sometime I dick around a little too much at the start of a song and get one.

>>14880734
The mechanics behind Bad/Poor needs to be explained in detail.

Does anyone know what the actual timings for Bad, "MashPoor" and Poor are in LR2 and/or IIDX? Does Bad and Poor always break the combo and mashing doesn't?

>>14880795
Mash poors decrease your lifebar and count as misses for your misscount, but don't break combo. Regular poors and bads decrease the lifebar more and do break combo.

>>14880734
Excess POORs do nothing other than increase your miss count and decrease the groove gauge. You can get still get MAX FC with excess POORs.

>>14880795
I don't have the frame numbers on hand, but how BADs work should be straightforward. In IIDX, there is an excess POOR window both before and after notes. In LR2, the excess POOR window only exists before notes, though it is much larger than the IIDX one.

Are there any grips I can buy for my KOC turntable? I heard there were official ones released years ago but I can't find any info on it.

>>14881218

just use tape or something

Have a wallpaper you nice people.

>>14881332
>atcha atcha atcha atcha atcha atcha atcha atcha

>>14881218
>>14881226
specifically skateboard tape

>>14881432

>>14881218
Just use duct tape

>>14881434
that looks like sandpaper
>>14881559
surely duct tape is too glossy to have much grip?

>>14881218
DAO sells grips that fit FPSs and KOCs. Kinda pricey though.

>>14881885

With the wax paper mod it does the job well enough

>>14881899
>>14881218
There is also this. http://shop.flipflop-jp.com/?pid=62937769

reminder that prim is nailable

>>14881885
it basically is sandpaper with an adhesive back

after you use it for a while it just turns into a grippy surface for cheap

>>14881432
That chart is so dumb, first it's easy, then comes the buttfuck atcha atcha part and then the ending gives just enough time to fill the gauge unless you fuck up that one trill

>>14882207
and available

>>14881930
theres the problem. my KOC is fucked up (super tight stripped screw) and the turntable assembly won't come apart, so I can't wax paper mod if I wanted to

Is there more benefits to "analog" turntable input versus non-analog other than smoother scrolling in song selection screen?

Also has anyone tried the new DAO firmware which adds 1000Hz support?

>>14883177
i tried it and didn't feel any difference from just forcing it to 1000hz, and the song list wouldn't scroll faster when i spun the turntable faster, and waiting .3 sec to change difficulties because of the new shit with the select button was annoying
so i reflashed an older firmware

did 0133 quit osu?

>>14884368
Who cares?

Does anyone here live in socal that can point to someone selling a good metal dance pad? All I've found here in oc are those tournament pads I saw to stay away from

I want nothing to do with those omega pads and I've had NO luck finding cfs or bluesharks at all or for a reasonable price

How do I create a PCBID and which SDVX ac data is the "best" in terms of stability and playability? I just assume some ac's are more finicky than others.

I'm nearing the ability to finally download these god damn things.

>>14892209
there are literally threads for this. use the search function.

>>14892209
You need a psun account to create a PCBID.

if someone's waiting behind you in the arcade are you supposed to let them play when your credit runs up or do you just get off when you're done?

>>14893349
Those are both the same thing.

And if you somehow put more than 1 game worth of credit into the machine then you're a dumbass.

Can BPM be used as a measure of song's difficulty? Say I'm stuck at a wall. Is it a good way to go by practicing a level lower at high BPM and lower BPM at higher level?
Depending on the day I'm often finding it difficult to practice higher level songs, yet lower ones are mostly too easy except few high BPM songs.
It's generally fine to play through different higher level songs, but depending on the song it's often a mash-fest. So, I'm trying to figure out a better practice setup where I'd be working towards improvement rather than either mashing songs (wasting time) or playing too easy ones (also wasting time).
It's difficult to keep going for long sessions, because it always tends to fall into one or the other extreme - too easy or too hard

Thanks

>>14892209
You can also ask for a PCBID in that one thread.
(PCBID day v2, I think?)

Look at the SDVX - II thread, that will have the link to the most recent one.

It's honestly not that hard.

>>14893410
>Can BPM be used as a measure of song's difficulty?
No. But it's possible for a person to be bad at hitting 16ths at 200 BPM while being good at hitting 16th chords at 100 BPM that have the same note density, or vice versa.

>Say I'm stuck at a wall. Is it a good way to go by practicing a level lower at high BPM and lower BPM at higher level?
It's good to practice whatever it is you're bad at.

>So, I'm trying to figure out a better practice setup where I'd be working towards improvement rather than either mashing songs (wasting time) or playing too easy ones (also wasting time).
I personally find it best to alternate. Work on hard songs to push yourself further, but always make sure to clean up and solidify your technique on easier songs every once in a while.

I firmly believe that variety (including using Random in IIDX) is the key to getting better.

What stand should I get for my popn controller

>>14893857
>It's good to practice whatever it is you're bad at.
Completely agreed. However, well, mashing through something you're really bad at probably won't help too much or you could get the same results practicing something easier with similar patterns

>I personally find it best to alternate. Work on hard songs to push yourself further, but always make sure to clean up and solidify your technique on easier songs every once in a while.
Again, totally agree. Usually I go through harder songs for few first hours and then slightly easier songs, but still above my skill level for another few hours. Then a break, rinse and repeat (albeit a shorter session). Leaving pure timing practice as the last thing to do, because while it's important, it won't help too much if I can't comprehend charts comfortably and consistently
Random comes off very rarely (nothing too specific to work on just yet)

Well, thanks for your reply. It always helps when somebody can verify thoughts. Being stuck at a wall I tend to start doubting whether my approach is the best way to go. Thinking whether I should just grind hard shit mashing as hard as I can or take more reasonable steps, etc.
I've logged almost all my sessions and there isn't too big of a difference seen in progression between approaches. However, some are definitely much more stressful than others. Trying to find and stick to something reasonable what works to avoid burning out. Practicing for several hours daily with a poor, stressful approach quickly burn me out

>>14894275

It's too cool!

>>14894495
It depends. If you're looking for fun every session then yes, this probably isn't fun (even though I get a lot of enjoyment out of successful session). I'm not particularly interested in short time gains. It's fun for me knowing I keep progressing as long as I do my part. Plus the act of learning itself. To each their own

I'm stuck at levels 6-7 at iidx and level 13 at DDR. What do you do to improve?

>>14894673

>>14893436

>It's honestly not that hard.

Good to hear, cause it kinda looks like it is.

>>14894797
If you're stuck or anything, check the wiki, then search the forums.

Posting on forums should be a last resort.

As long as you have some tech experience, you should be mostly fine.

>>14894780
Took me ~6 months to start passing 11s.

This might sound silly, but after like 6 months of playing, I still don't really know How to approach scratching charge notes.

I quickly learned you don't just scratch frantically back and fourth. What I do is rotate the TT one direction for the entirety of the note and at the very end, scratch the other direction like a regular scratch.

I still seem to always drop my combo doing this though. Not sure what exactly to do.

>>14895923
scratching the same direction until the end at which point you scratch the other direction is the way you are supposed to hit them. as far as breaking combo, charge notes are hard. just keep at it

>>14894797
what is hard is fixing an error without people telling you to read the fucking thread.

>>14900105

>>14900391

Nah, game's shit.

how do i determine whether getting too many slows is caused by a wrong offset or a too low green number

>>14900612
change both and figure it out

Play with double green number. Your offset should be synchronized with when you think the note hits the red line, regardless of speed.

>>14900629
not that guy but changing your green number often affects your perception of where the red line is, although you should be using lift/hidden to modify that

>>14900647
>changing your green number often affects your perception of where the red line is
If that's the case, then you're already used to a shitty offset. You should still try to find an offset that feels correct at different speeds.

No. Visuals are fucked up to compensate for easy control, so the load goes on the visual perception instead of hands movement.

>>14910661
It's still pretty easy for the most part. Fun though.

>>14910661
>so the load goes on the visual perception instead of hands movement.

then why is it everytime i'm at the arcade i see someone playing it literally with their back facing the screen

Thank you

I believe I am not exaggerating when I say becoming a master at IIDX is literally the hardest thing a human being could do. Of course by master I mean 95%+ EXHCing 12s consistently.

Harder than climbing Mt. Everest
Harder than winning a gold medal at the Olympics
Harder than starting a billion dollar company
Harder than raising children
Harder than mastering any instrument

I believe its even harder than any combined group effort.

It is perhaps even harder than the success of the Apollo space program.
And even perhaps harder than winning WWII

The people doing this shit on Youtube are literal gods walking among us.

Yes. There is no newer version for pendual.

To all the cucks stuck on the IIDX 10 wall: Don't give up. I hit the wall 6-7months ago and made barely any progress since then. But then I woke up on a morning and many charts that used to be overwhelming felt easy, and I'm now making fast progress. I revisit tracks that I haven't played in 2 weeks and shit on rivals scores, beat my high scores by 100-200 ex points and pass many 10s that I kept failing, feels incredibly good

>>14911426
Are you the same guy who talked about IIDX being a good analogy for life in Japan?

How do i into rhythm games on PC or android?! I wish there was some kind of a guide.

>>14913381
PC- Lunatic Rave 2, Stepmania
Android- Cytus, Deemo, Groove Coaster 2

>>14913381
Have half a brain at the least. There are shitloads of rhythm games on any platform. Just play things until you find something you like.

>>14913483
>There are shitloads of rhythm games on any platform
I don`t want to go through shitty ones, thats why i rely on opinions of experts here. Dont be a douche.
>>14913478
Thank you anon.

>>14913525
i downloaded groove coaster 2 today, bought the t+paz pack, no regrets

>>14913542
Ill give it a try! Already played Cytus and Deemo.

>>14913525
Form your own opinions faggot. This general is a bemani game circlejerk and if you're not playing IIDX you're not playing a proper rhythm game.

Touchscreen rhythm games are generally frowned upon here too.

You won't enjoy games if you just buy into culture opinions. Find something fun.

>>14913921
>touchscreen rhythm games are generally frowned upon here too

no they're not you fucktard

>>14913951
they are in sows

>>14913951
How do you know. I frown upon them.

>>14913542
also is there a groove coaster crack somewhere? i'm jewish a f

>>14914055
There is a save on sows or root and lucky patcher the shit out of it.

>>14913978
They wouldn't have threads specifically for Jubeat Plus and Reflec Beat if they did.

>>14912712
>But then I woke up on a morning and many charts that used to be overwhelming felt easy, and I'm now making fast progress.
what the fuck is this phenomenon? this shit has happened to me in every single rhythm game i've played, get stuck on 33s in pop'n? take a small break and can suddenly clear some 38s. can't clear jumpstream files in stepmania? took a break and could start clearing 200BPM jumpstream.

>>14913381
we should make a rhythm game guide

>>14914477
>sows is one person

>>14913978

Is what you're basically trying to say here

>>14914620
Something being frowned upon within a community doesn't mean literally nobody there likes it, it means a relative minority likes it and many of the others actively dislike it.
It's really not that hard to just not be a retard

Where can I find good Stepmania themes? Most of the themes on ZiV are incomplete or shit.

>>14911426

it's a video game calm down faggot

what the fuck do i do i cant decide between getting a popn or iidx controller fuck
ive played a popn machine before at an arcade but not iidx but iidx looks fun

>>14915381
iidx will very likely have longer lasting appeal

>>14915381
Pop'n is easier to get into and is just as hard as IIDX in high difficulties, except for maybe some really crazy IIDX doubles. ASCs are also cheaper.

>>14915381
Play IIDX at an arcade and find out

>>14915381

Both are fun. Follow your heart.

>>14915381
>>14915450
or your penis
IIDX is sexier
Pop'n is cuter

Goddamn when is Dao going to restock the US Storehouse. I want a Pop'n ASC and $105 shipping is killing me inside.

What is the best platform and emulator for IIDX?

Open up images of both ASCs, or two videos of gameplay, then jack off.

When you need to cum, you're going to have to pick a video/picture to focus on.

In that moment you will know.

>>14916118
It's good though.

Along with Ride to the Core.

>>14916843

If i can't jack off to IIDX will I stay casual forever?

>>14915381
Spend the 100 dollars in materials it costs to build both of them, instead of the 300+ to ship a single controller.

The ASC business is the biggest scam of the century. When you look at the actual value you're getting, which is a 10 dollar PCB and 3-6 dollar buttons, and the price you're being charged, I can't imagine why anyone would ever buy one. The amount of woodworking skill you need to drill less than a dozen holes is zero.

A fool and his money, I guess.

>>14917656
to be fair it's almost impossible to mill an aluminum turntable shape like that by yourself

literally no reason to not make your own pop'n controller however

>>14917689
You don't actually need a fucking turntable shape to play the game, though. You need a plastic disc with a hole in the middle, and a rotary encoder. Wax paper and glue will make it spin freely enough to match the arcade.

>>14917702
Actually for me the geometry (and height!) of the turntable, at least on the right side, is somewhat important as it affects how my fourth finger touches the turntable during heavier patterns

I built my own controller but it's not a smooth ramp, it's just two sheets of beveled acrylic that I put through a router and it's 5mm shorter than AC height.

Not that I ever even get a chance to play AC, but it matters.

>>14916302
Bemani is really unpredictable in Windows 10, for some it runs better than in other versions of windows, for others it doesn't run at all.

>>14917785
I'm fine on W10, but annoyingly enough I had to change my entire system locale to JP to fix the fonts whereas before I could run it fine in US locale.

I had some weird latency issues where I'd hit like 300 slow even at -5.0 but switching my resolution to 1280x720 and going to windowed mode solved that and I'm around -3.8 now.

>>14917816
https://github.com/xupefei/Locale-Emulator/releases

Enjoy your fixed fonts.

>>14917829
There's nothing wrong with having my computer on JP locale, it's fine this way as everything's still in English. It's also useful for other weebshit.

Except the Intel and Nvidia control panels, which apparently change their language based on the locale and not the system language, which is just bad design.

Not that it matters as I never muck around in there and I know what all the options mean anyway.

If anyone wants to play keyboardmania, there's a super cheap way to do it now. They massively overproduced RB3 keyboards for the Wii, and you can buy one for 10 bucks. With a recent driver on github, you can run it as a MIDI instrument through the dongle, which DoReMi mania supports as long as you set the octave correctly first.

Unfortunately, it looks like nobody bothered writing any drivers for PCSX2, so you can't play the home ports, but eh, it's only 10 bucks and maybe someone will do it in the future. You could also try out some of the RB PC clones if you so inclined.

Also, if you're remotely into music, it's a wireless 25-key MIDI controller for basically nothing.

Is there a way to dampen controller noise? I got a noise complaint from the neighbor

Of all of the controllers to build, Pop'n is not the cheapest in terms of raw materials, ironically.

If you want to build an arcade spec Pop'n controller, it's probably the most expensive of the bunch. The reason for this is actually the buttons, even if it seems they would be cheap.

The buttons are 100mm Sanwas. You can buy them directly from Sanwa for $45 which comes with 200g springs, 200g Omrons and lamps, or for $32 from Akishop with just the 200g switches and 200g springs. You're buying 9 of these. That will run you a minimum of $300 after shipping, not including lights.

Can you cheap out and buy Happs or some knockoff Chinese button? Sure. But those will run you ~$10 a piece, and you'll want to replace the springs and switches because the ones they ship with suck a lot. That's ~$15-$20 for springs and $30 for 200g Omrons.

And then you need a microcontroller to do HID handling so you can plug it into your computer. Before you just grab any old Arduino, many don't have a on chip USB controller, so they have a SPI link to a USB controller, which not only induces lag and can limit polling but also makes running multiple HIDs, one for buttons and another for lights pretty annoying. So you'll probably want something like a teensy. And then you'll want to take the arcin code and modify it to your liking. Or you could just buy an Arcin for $50 and be done with it.

That's not even including box materials or time. Basically, it's not cheap.

>>14921092
The actual buttons seriously aren't worth it. Recently, you can get 100mm Chinese buttons, a full set for about 40 bucks on Aliexpress. These come with 200g springs, like all cheap Chinese buttons. The switches aren't great (but perfectly usable), but you can get a full sensible set of quality switches for 10-20 bucks.

When you start talking about microcontrollers, you've already lost the fucking plot. Zero Delay USB boards cost 10 bucks and come with QDs so you don't even have to solder anything. If you want stupid light-up keys, a turntable or knobs, that's 5 bucks for an Arduino.

The cost of building a box is around 20 dollars in materials, shipped. If you're willing to actually leave the house, you can get enough wood to make half a dozen controllers pre-cut to the right dimensions for half of that. All you have to do is drill holes, and screw the whole thing together, which is a 5 dollar investment in drillbits and screws, and you can put the whole thing together as a total beginner in an afternoon.

>>14904425
I'll play with you anon. Add me.
https://osu.ppy.sh/u/7533424
it's not like you're worse than me

>>14921219
Zero Delay boards are pretty shit.
They don't have common ground so you can't daisy chain grounds. Also the cables it ship with aren't long enough to reach the entire pop'n controller so you'll need to splice some cables, kind of defeats your whole no soldering mantra.

>>14921503
>>They don't have common ground so you can't daisy chain grounds.
I've never been a fan of daisy chains, and it's not like you save any time by using them.
>Also the cables it ship with aren't long enough
Good point, although I actually just clipped the QDs off the ends and wired them into the white connectors of another set with a bit of hot glue. A very easy job.

That said, they're still both the easiest and cheapest way to wire up any simple button based controller.

>>14921219
>>14921553
Not sure why you see lights as superfluous, but I guess if you're trying to go bottom of the barrel then all right. I was going for an arcade accurate ASC.

So say I want to go bottom of the barrel. Cheapest buttons I see are going for a bit more than $50. Encoder is $10. If I want to upgrade to Omron switches that's ~$30. In total that's under $100 before box materials. That's not so bad.

I tried building my own SDVX ASC but it turned out to be garbage.

Played on it for a while, got to play up to 14s. Then got a TC+ instead because diy controller was falling apart.

Worth it.
Unless you're a top tier handyman, just fucking buy a controller.

>>14921603
In my opinion, spacing and button size is the most important. Switch weights are reasonably important, but Chinese buttons are accurate for Pop'n.

Superfluous elements like button colors (although I do have the correct ones), the way the controller is painted, and LEDs are all pretty meaningless because you shouldn't be looking at the controller anyway.

It's not really bottom of the barrel, that'd be buying the mini-con abominations or putting tennis ball halves on an old keyboard.

>>14921725
If you aren't playing with fucking cardboard, your controller won't fall apart. A couple of encoders properly mounted to a piece of plywood aren't going anywhere.

>>14921738
Not that guy, but I built a pretty cheap SDVX controller and eventually the encoders either shit themselves or the Arduino just couldn't keep up with the encoders anymore.

Was totally worth it though, I got up to 14s and got more games out of it than dollars I paid.

>>14921759
I am that guy and it happened the same for me. Fucking encoders man. It drove me crazy. I'm mostly butthurt about that.

I'll say this: if you want to just play "casually," a DIY controller is fine. Pretty rewarding when you build your own controller. But if you want to take the game seriously, then consider buying an ASC.

CYTUS: probably the best phone game out there

>>14922404
That's an odd way to pronounce Groove Coaster

>>14922404

That's not TapTube nigga

>>14921738
Which knockoff buttons did you end up going with? I've been perusing Ali and Taobao but half of them don't even appear to come with a switch/switch holder, and if they do they're generally pretty pricey or have enormous shipping rates. Tempted to just go with what Dao uses.

Post your SDVX green number and level you play, Ill start.

>570

>Lv.10-11

>>14922889
I don't know my green number because I play Infinite infection.

>450 bpm
>Lv 13s and some minute 14s

>>14922889
I was around 750 and barely breaking in 14's before my controller broke.

Last time I played AC was about 3 months ago, and I couldn't read knobs at that speed anymore, so I'm down to 650 and still 14's, although it fucks up my button reading when it's that dense.

For IIDX I'm on 290G 1W, although last time I was on AC i'm more around 290G 200W because the screen is so large.

>>14922889
830, 14-15

>>14922889

I didn't even know sdvx had green numbers, do the charts have bpm changes?

>>14922889
last time i played i kept the product of my highspeed and bpm at ~650, not sure as to exact GN
i could play most of the easier 15s

>>14922889
14-15, 750-800

>>14923070
I think he just meant BPM.

There are no green numbers, although there's floating BPM in SDVX3 so you can set a custom BPM that's any whole number and lock it.

You are still affected by speed changes (混乱少女そふらんちゃん!! is the most egregious), as there's no CMOD.

I've been playing since mid January is this good progress?

is it normal to just use my thumb to hit 1+3 on these, i don't want to grow into bad technique

>>14923588
If you can do it then go ahead, that's fine. and there's nothing wrong with it.

I personally bring my right thumb over because babyhands.

What you should not do is use your thumb to hit S+2, as it fucks over you ability to hit 1. Use your index for that.

>>14923588
That's what I do sometimes. Though occasionally I try to hit 3 with my right(non-scratching) hand.

>>14923588
I would say it's nicer not to, but it won't really hurt too much. If you'd like to break the habit it's better to do it earlier though.
I normally use my other thumb for scratch+1+3, but when you throw the 5 in I don't know what to do other than mash my left thumb across 1 and 3.

>>14923619
Throw in the right hand's middle finger on 5.

At least, that's how I manage Dirty of Loudness.

i dont mind building a popn asc i just need to make sure i know what im ordering, so is there a certain board i should get or is a zero delay usb board like >>14921219 recommended fine

all the posts in this thread about building an asc did was just confuse me so sorry for being a retard

>>14923963
Depends on the game
For SVDX, an Arduino with ACRealIO is your best bet.

For everything else, an Arcin is the best, for lights and shit. If you don't want those, you can go for a zero delay board.

If you really want to DIY and write some code, then get a teensy 3.x

>>14923588
I do it all of the time.

>>14922404
After Dynamix yeah.

>am too lazy to boot up IIDX and move all the shit on my desk for my controller
>end up just playing keyboard bms half the time

>>14924632
how long do you usually play when you do? I find that playing for at least like two hours makes the effort of setting it up to be worth it.

that being said having to get my stand out and set up my big PEE to really deter me from playing.

So does all bms have fucking terrible songs and charts or am I missing something?

Is it worth waiting to buy the Turbocharger+? Any noteworthy technical differences between TC+ and SVSE5?

Reportedly the arcade knob setup/upgrade is far better on the TC+. Also, pretty lights.

If you're on a budget get the SVSE5 and Omrons.
