Thank you for my daily dose of rhythm game based erotica.

Anyone know where I can find 200g springs?

Dao Pop'n has 100g switches and springs and it feels like shit. These buttons activate if you look at them wrong.

>>16290807
My dao came with 200g springs tho
Either way go on sanwa's rakuten shop

>>16290811

When'd you buy it? I got mine just today and I emailed him about it and he said they're 100g each.

>>16290818
I bought it in 2014 so I guess he could've changed default specs
Personally I prefer the lighter springs

>>16290807
do u actually enjoy breaking your fingers on hard plastic domes that you have to pound with the force of a thousand suns to activate?

i've played on 4 pop'n cabs ever but the lightest setup was by far the most pleasurable

How do you guys go about finding your WN? I don't know where my eyes should be. I pretty much read comfortably at 300 GN without a lane cover.

>>16291277
Ignoring fast/slows for a while and playing by what felt right. Got me to 90wn 274-280gn. After adjusting fast/slows were about the same
F/S is pretty pointless. All it tells me in general is when I'm starting to get tired. After that I begin focusing less on timing and instead grinding hard songs

Play by what feels comfortable to read. Ignore f/s and don't adjust offset. Give yourself time. If you have laggy monitor change to HD*
You won't find out what suits you for awhile. Long-term consistency is the only reliable fact to go with. All of the immediate results such as ex, f/s, etc are pointless. Changing settings to meet these results will do more harm than good since you constantly need to readjust

Looks like generator sets are merged. Also there's a Generator Blaster start.

>>16291886
light start uses 3 credits, standard uses4 and Blaster start uses 6.

>>16290406
who you quotin'?

Does iidx have any non-keysounded songs like popn does?

>>16292524
No

>>16292524
Yuck. I haven't played pop'n since ps2 releases, when did they start adding non keysound? In the most recent version of popn, What is the percentage of non keysound songs?

If iidx goes this route I'm officially done with the series.

>>16291417
Is HD* the same as adding -1.0 in your timing offset?
I currently use HD with a -2.0 offset, just wondering if I go to HD* would there be any other benefits?

Just found this 5 key gem:

>>16293315
Don't know exactly how much it shifts, but if you're already at -2 HD* will definitely help you getting closer to 0
I forgot to add if you're playing well rested then stick to fixed GN and ignore f/s. Otherwise if your sessions are long (3+ hours) and you consistently begin to get more slows then lower (increase) GN, but stick with same WN
Why I recommend this is due to fact both wn and gn won't matter a whole lot during long sessions because eventually fatigue hits and no matter what you do you won't be your best. Sticking to wn is merely for convenience when you come back the next day
Save your nerves and set whatever settings to feel comfortable in a fatigued state. Except offset

More than -1 is seriously unnecessary for most TVs and monitors. I believe 0.1 is single frame of delay. There's no way in hell any kind of monitor or TV will lag by ~160ms (-1)
Instead of playing with offset try windowed or fullscreen mode or other adjustment to ensure you're not running running into technical issues
Generally for most relatively budget monitors you may feel the need to adjust offset by -0.2-0.3. Played on many TVs and monitors. Never had to adjust beyond 0.5. Even on a 10 year old plasma TV
Offset by itself isn't the devil. It's a great addition, but I've seen people adjusting offset, getting used to it and slows return. Then they increase offset even more and so on. Now that's the devilish part. It was never about lag or anything like it, but poor hand control (being lazy, not "trying" to time and merely slapping the keys as late and lazily as possible whilst constantly adjusting offset)
There's a reason why musical instrument teachers point out everything from your posture to hand control. We have an inherent tendency to use as little energy as possible to meet the means. Focusing on how you play is as important as focusing on what's happening in the game. Both need conscious effort and awareness. Otherwise all you get is little progress out of the time you've put in and very bad habits
Check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J95GSEVDRXI and remember 1048's face forever. This is the kind of face you want to have while playing

>>16293315
>Is HD* the same as adding -1.0 in your timing offset?
Correct. 0.0 HD* = -1.0 HD = -2.0 SD = -4.0ish CS (DistorteD~Empress PS2).

>>16293770
>I believe 0.1 is single frame of delay.
Incorrect.

1.0 is a frame. If you're noticing changes at increments of 0.1 (1.7ms), it's more than likely placebo, unless you're very good and get 99% on everything you play. I personally don't really notice until around 0.3 increments.

how often do you fap to rasis?

>>16293891
Thanks for the correction, but HD is -2.0? How come I get more slows with HD than HD*?

Though I don't get the point of offset then. At max it's still like only 1/3 of many monitors/TVs latency. To put it simply, it doesn't do jack shit in terms of helping to adjust. May as well play with 0, get used to it and compensate
My experiences are what I stated though. Taking monitor with the most latency at 0 I get ~+20 slows (relative). At 0.3 it's +-2-5
Either some of those very old and very cheap monitors are actually really good or I'm capable of adjusting by ~20-60ms
Perhaps this isn't too surprising. At some point I guess it just doesn't matter much anymore. Simply adjusting within few rounds without noticing. As you can see the variance is relatively small despite playing on terrible monitor. I can still AAA stuff and switch between them, but losing ~20-50ex

Finally, a session where I didn't feel worthless.
Being able to sightread clear two 12s is nice.
AAA DPA Sweet Clapper on the first go was good too. That might be the first 10 I ever AAAed.

>>16290283
I was going to write something about this in response to my session, because I actually developed a sweat again after pounding through all the 12s. How many other games are there out there where you can break a sweat while standing still and playing it? Anything similar to IIDX would be about it, I guess. But this is what still makes it stand out to me. When you really get into a strong streak and play at the highest of your ability, and you are sweating and taxed in breathing at the end of the songs, there's no feeling that any other game gives me like it.

Anyone know what the lowest score that you can get and still pass a song in Sound Voltex? I just cleared a song with 822k, and that got me wondering.

>>16294980

Please dear god this. I hate having to restart a game every 3 songs.

And for the love of god either have a quit song button, or make it so you fail out after 50 Bads in a row. I can't stand getting my shit kicked in on a song, giving up, then having to sit there like a jackass waiting to "retire". Jesus Christ it makes my blood boil.

>>16296654
check the reddit wiki, there's a 50gb megapack torrent and links to a beginner's pack

>>16296652

Gotta lot of dank CDs my friend. A lot of that shit's hard to find anywhere else.

>>16296696
thanks senpai,letting the megapack dl overnight, Something else, is there a key setup that doesn't involve using the pinky fingers?

>>16296709
zsxdcfv can be played without pinkies

but nearly all good playstyles use pinkies

>>16296717
Hmm, I'll try using pinkies first then. Although they seem kinda weak and prone to getting tired easily, especially since I saw some songs where you have to spam the scratch thing really fucking fast. What's a good setup example with pinkies?

>>16296735
If we're talking keyboard only some people do a "straight line" setup (ASDF Space JKL Semicolon) and use the opposing pinkies to scratch

>>16296741
Yeah keyboard, I wouldn't buy one of these bms controllers if I don't know I enjoy this sort of game. Guess I'll go with lshift asd space jkl slash for now.

>>16293984
>How come I get more slows with HD than HD*?
Because HD* 0.0 is equivalent to HD -1.0. That's how the offset works.

>Though I don't get the point of offset then. At max it's still like only 1/3 of many monitors/TVs latency.
The offset is meant to be used on arcade cabinets with somewhat standardized monitors, not everybody's illegal home setup. Even so, HD* has a -4.0ish offset built in. Another -5.0 on top of that and you're offsetting at least 9 frames of visual latency.

>Taking monitor with the most latency at 0 I get ~+20 slows (relative). At 0.3 it's +-2-5
I hope you mean -0.3, since otherwise you're offsetting in the wrong direction to deal with slows, which would be further evidence of it being placebo. Also, a 0.3 increment is a significant enough change to be noticeable to a consistent player.

Or, learn to play the other side and give that one pinky a break.

How to improve footspeed in DDR? I can always read the classic death runs since I play StepMania but I just can't get my feet to move as fast as they need to. Examples would be Pluto Relinquish's final stream and all of EGOISM 440 streams.

>>16298032

Are the owners of these R1 franchises Japanese Americans, or just Japanese owning foreign businesses?

I doubt they'd let gaijin open up their own franchises.

>>16300842
Round 1 is one master race company. I just started working for them, and my training session gave me the impression I work for the whole thing. So the concept of franchises doesn't apply. I have noticed a trend though, that many General Managers are Japs

>>16301085
>many General Managers are Japs
Surprising considering the abhorrent disarray most of them are kept in. Actual R1 execs who work for the company in Japan would probably be ashamed to allow the name on the US stores as they are now.

Or maybe they wouldn't care because who gives a fuck about anything outside Japan.

I know complaining about popn song ratings is like pissing into an ocean of piss but silent ongaku hyper is not a 40 ffs

I should probably work at R1 so I can actually afford to play there/buy controllers

The new SPA for Sweet Lab is pretty annoying. I have no idea why the CLAP of a BOOM CLAP needs four goddamn notes.

Also how much do I need to play before I can finally play 11s on stages one and two? It seems to be locked behind a mixture of dan ranking and DJ Points since I got stage two level 11s on DP w/ 7dan ranking after a dozen or so rounds while I'm still limited to 10s on SP until final stage even with having cleared 10dan.

You would think that pop'n has a more smooth difficulty scale but it doesn't, like the walls at lvls 36, 38 and 40 are all really retarded. I swear to God it's like Konami just has it out to make really retarded difficulty scales no matter what game its in.

I don't think so. They still hope for whales. Trying different things to get people invested enough where they won't stop anytime soon
Slot machines are easy short-term consistent income, but not nearly as good as people forking out thousands trying to get Kaiden or some shit like that
Most of these games are still fairly popular. KAC is popular and lots of people go to see it and so on. Don't think these games will die off in the near future
They're not going to leave arcade scene anytime soon and will try to get away with anything they can

>>16306603
You can't play offline?

>>16306927
Maybe, but if it's an established thing then no arcade owner would do it anyways since nobody would be there (or very few). If Konami strictly prohibits keeping machines running then what can you do?
Even if the network is offline that doesn't meant they can't track running machines and go after those owners for Konami reasons
It's probably all about cost efficiency for both the arcade owners and Konami. Want to get into conspiracy theories then maybe it's part of a scheme to make players feel pressured and less likely to leave. They keep on going to get maximum out of it
If you'd have to drive for an hour to the arcade would you be there for an hour and drive back or make the most of it?
It's dumb and weird, but if I'd be an owner then I wouldn't keep the machines running 24/7 when there's two or three people there. I'd maybe do exceptions during weekends, summer or some holidays
To be honest who the fuck knows. Konami does so much weird shit you'd have to be crazy to understand their reasoning

>>16306927
No.

>>16306859
Good. Now if only they would open one R1 in my country

Fuck Do it!! Do it!! sph

>>16307114
They won't. West is lucky enough to have what they have and even that is sparse and ridiculous
Konami doesn't give a shit. It's pita to manage international network (business and infrastructure). They're not going to bother since in many countries there's no arcade scene to begin with. They won't open R1 in the hopes of it catching on when there are no signs. How would you go about showing it? Sending Konami secretly pictures of multiple home setups and wishes for them to open legit R1?
Konami literally doesn't give two fucks about the west in general. Their attitude towards outsiders is frustrating and offensive to say the least
The shit they've gotten outside of arcade scene seems to have left a sour taste in their mouth. You don't generally see someone being as disrespectful towards Konami in Japan as does the west and if you're japanese you know well enough how it feels
Despite all the crap they've managed to do it still carries a kind of cultural thing. Internationally well known, established, successful Japanese company. There it's more respected despite the failures
Western FOS often gets carried away. You can do that in Japan, but it isn't taken as someone speaking their mind and being strong. It's disrespectful especially if it's coming from someone with a "low" status
Different cultures and values. If you're a relatively small country you hold on to whatever success there has been internationally and take it as a symbol of strength and wisdom. Basically you don't shit in your backyard

>>16307131
Skip it and come back later. It's a really fun chart once you can nail it. It's an easy chart to time as well. Really straightforward once you can get around dumb parts

Also fuck miracle 5ympho x spa

>>16307169
Now you're just trolling

Can't stay on 9 forever.
Besides Elisha, what are some easy 10s to practice?

I'm starting to deal with the higher density and trickier chords but I'm still losing in the end when they throw extra bullshit to make you fail.

>>16305992
sometimes i'll be standing on the pads not touching the bar and i'll still drop holds
>>16306924
i think we have an unfair advantage over all those fatties though. and i progressed pretty fast and my friend said its because of my weight but i think hes full of shit

>>16307200
Get used to failing. Nothing else to be said. It will happen a lot as you progress, but it's the only way
Don't only practice easy 10s. If your miss count is within 10-15% of total note count then it's fine to practice

>>16307224
Yeah, I know. I'm finishing 10s on the 60% range so I guess it's not too frustrating. Just a little more until I start clearing.

>>16307200
clear all 9s and when you're done with that, clear all 10s
repeat until you are good

>>16305957
being physically fit and not being an overweight or anemic nerd is cheating at dance games, yes

i'm 250 lbs and i still play ddr 17s + pump d17s

>>16306110
>>16306369

are there resources/opinions anywhere on the OLD pop'n scale? i have access to tune street more often than any other mix and i'm trying to learn the game. i've cleared up to a few 25s, starting to get the hang of 3-4 button chords (scales were always kinda easy)

i tried a 26 (daikenkai) but i failed because of those weird rolls at the end. i think i figured out how you're supposed to do it though (angle your right hand across the 2 buttons and wiggle it back and forth)

>>16307220
Lmao I'm 220lbs and I play 17/18 level charts regularly. Your friend is just bad.

>>16307168
>>16307131

>easy chart to time as well
i cleared that shit as one of my first 10s no problem but i just anmitsu the ending cause i can't read it.

>>16307231
Don't do that. It's not insane BMS where you'd better deal with frustrating shit at every 18s before moving forward because it only gets worse
IIDX ratings are terrible to begin with and grinding some shit 9 instead of moving on is a massive waste of time
The most obvious way is to mix and match. Work on 9s, work on 10s and so on.

>>16307251
No worries. There are dumb charts. A lot of 11s have stupid endings. 90-100% all the way and down to 2% during last few measures
It's just the way it is. If you can read like 90% of the chart that's wonderful. Fuck the ending for now

Is Empress the most misleveled style? Most songs feel harder than what they're labeled

>>16307334
it's pretty bad with that, yes. 3y3s normal, naughty girl sph, etc. are a point too low

>>16307200
At least for me, what it worked was: FC at least half of the songs of the level you are in. It's a good signal of if you're gitting gud or not.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ol1CN2GEMs
When are we finally going to get a DDR 20? Preferrably a fun one like vid related.

>>16307391
when all the 19s get PFCed

>>16307391
Why do we even need one? Aside from Egoism, the best players struggle to even AA the 19s. VD should just be rerated to a 20.

>>16307391
I dread the day a 20 is released. It is gonna be filled with such unimaginable bullshit.

Egoism CSP. The death runs are now crossover streams. Sprinkle some more jumps throughout the song for safe measure. There's your 20.

When people talk abou Dao's TT peeling off, they're talking about the border of the disc starting to rip? How do I deal with that?

>>16307550
Maybe I'm seeing things and it was always like that. It's not ripping and the sticker is fine. Nevermind.

>>16307175
That song is hard as fuck my dude

>>16307444
I'd rather kill myself than play something like that.

Holyday freeleech when?

>>16307631
Except the scratch at the beginning it's easy as fuck. I can see how it's possible to fuck up near the ending, but with a bit of practice you'll learn to deal with it fast (relatively speaking). You're still dealing with 10s and that's fine
Go play AA, 3y3s, Ghost Revival, Bad Maniacs, Exusia, V2, Go beyond, The Limbo, Blue straggler...Wait, the list is endless. There are way too many to count. Trust me you'll begin to love Miracle 5ympho as it will be one of the easiest 10s
Exusia as 10 can literally fuck off. I was grinding the shit out of it thinking it's the norm, but turns out I was able to clear several 11s before Exusia hyper.
In all seriousness the massive difficulty variance in 10s is ridiculous. Can't imagine how or who rated these and thought it's fine. It's like they didn't want to have hyper and another in the same folders and simply threw them level below. It'd be fine if they'd at least show the note count before you play them. If you see a 1200 and above notes 10s and you're just entering then you sure as fuck won't be clearing V2 or something like that
Just keep playing and know 10s wall can suck hard if you only enjoy the hardest songs

Make me yerome

>>16307696
I think I'm just autistic cuz I sight read cleared exusia sph just now
Difficulty is all subjective anyways, I just like to complain from time to time

>>16307750
>Difficulty is all subjective anyways
yeah i struggled with a 9 for a while and checked statistik but it was a 9.0

some of my first 9s were 9.7-9.8s

and my first 10 was bsb

How do I even train for scratch songs.

Literally all of them are 6 10 12 so nothing prepares me for the ass rape that a 10 is.

>>16307790
here's the progression i took to becoming good at scratch songs

bsb normal
long train running normal
watch out pt.2 normal
checking you out normal
checking you out hyper
bsb hyper
re:bouncekiller hyper
the rest of the mad izm 9s and 10s (naughty girl, watch out pt.2, red, black, etc.)

if you have trouble with 1-handing try playing easy shit like 5 or 6 with s-random and only using one hand to hit the keys, keeping the other on the turntable

>>16307790

I'll fold you in on a top secret Bemani execs don't want you to know.

You are born either good at scratching or bad at scratching.

There is nor "getting better" at scratching. Either you have the ability or you don't. End of story.

>>16307391
When Konami grow balls. But yeah, Pump is the thing now.

Also, I hated when this happen (song not in sync with the video).

>>16307413
pump it up has a nonsensical scoring system so the community only cares about passes and fcs and they love to make charts too hard for anyone to fc and just do their best to pass them (see paradoxx d28)

>>16307391

I heard/saw/read someone postulate that Konami is waiting until 2018 to roll out a 20 because DDR will be 20 years old.

Makes perfect sense to me.

It'll just be crossover streams at 900 BPM though. Not sure why you're looking forward to it. Konami can't into hard charts.

>>16307750
I loled the shit out of myself. Well done. Maybe it was lucky random. Not done yet. Still laughing my ass off considering how many times I tried to clear it
I cleared V2 before Exusia...

Does Future Tone include all songs from every home release so far?

>>16307852
>>16307861

>if you have trouble with 1-handing try playing easy shit like 5 or 6 with s-random and only using one hand to hit the keys, keeping the other on the turntable

That's the advice I needed. I can do the scratching but playing with one hand is impossible

>you will never clear a 12

Best way to get ratio on sows?

>>16309010
Trade dellar, seed all the FL shit, seed data, and fill requests.

Anyone else really like when the controller sounds
Something about the clicky buttons just really gets me going

>>16308946
Yes you will. You'll see.

>>16309473
Sorry but I absolutely hate it.

I cannot play IIDX without headphones. I would gladly play double the normal price for a controller that was somehow constructed to have the mechanics in a vacuum so that I could never hear the clacking at all. If I have a reason to link to a YT clip, I go out of my way to not link ones where the clacking is audible because it is such a flagrant distraction.

I play music games to hear the music.

>>16307249
The old pop'n scale is just 6 less than the new one. The new scale basically only helped clarify the 42~43 range into 48~50.

>>16309473
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxr1QUVfPRA

>>16309660
are you sure? cause i've played eclale and noticed that like, for example, implantation normal is bumped from 25 to 32

>>16309741
the vast majority of songs got bumped up by 6 and a few by 7

What's the point of sows hoarding all Bemani related data outside of maintaining Sherl0cks throbbing erection from all the dipshits sucking him off for said data?

>>16309890
>that secret club sucks!
>*creates another secret club and hoards data stolen from sows*

>>16309890
Excellently constructed post. Blatantly ignoring the obvious while implying that sherl0k is even relevant. Amazing. I can't wait for the replies!

>>16309908
Leggendaria is publically available to anyone that can google though. That, and it isn't even fucking sows' data to begin with, it's Bemani's because they're the one's that actually made the fucking games.
>>16309911
Doesn't matter who it is desu, the sows owner is a fucking dipshit. Fucking kill yourselves lmao

>>16309522
Do you get Cs and Bs mostly?

CS release with songs from DDR 2013 and 2014 when?

>>16309938
I'm this guy: >>16295164

I get Cs and Bs on 12s which I can't pass. Bs and As on most 11s. AAs on half of the 10s and such. Anything below I could probably AAA consistently if I cared to, but I don't, because I more care about clearing and playing charts which I can't pass.

For arcade play, if I have a clear and DJ points of some kind earned, I tend to never play the chart again until the new version comes out.

If Konami deleted all of my IIDX scores every year, I'd focus more on clear status too.

So, if the only thing I want to do is download bemani OSTs, but I don't feel like drawing a pig or begging for shit on irc, what options do I have?

>>16310253
You have two options:

1. Stop being an entitled little shit and put at least a little effort into getting what you want rather than expecting it handed to you for free.

2. Find it for free. It's on a chink site and all the downloads link to chink hosts at irritating speeds. I'm not spoonfeeding you where but it's every possible bemani soundtrack you could ever want.

>>16310262
I'll look it up, then

thanks

>>16309890
You're missing the point. It has little to do with Sherl0ck to begin with. Think about where the data comes from before opening your mouth

>>16309522
Have you tried to put the silencing pads available from gamo2 in your controller?

Does freeleech mean everything is free to download with no ratio hit?

>>16310806

>>16311571
As long as it finishes downloading before freeleech ends, yes.

>>16311567
Best would be buying an arcin or other replacement PCB and getting direct USB PC support
Second best would be an adapter but bemanitools is very finnicky with ps2>PC adapters

>>16311652
Thanks I'll borrow a friends adapter to see if it work ok. If not I'll get an arcin, would I be able to duel mod it? I don't want to lose the ps2 functionality.

>>16310806
Play the easier chart and polish your technique, or play the harder chart and get good. I don't see how this is an issue.

Since I don't plan to play SDVX any time soon but still want the data, should I just get the latest release or are there songs in previous versions that aren't on the latest one?

>>16311770
It's just frustrating when it's a 4/7/12 song or something like that.

a hard 11 or a 12 might be too much and a 7 or 8 are too simple to have fun. It's an awkward spot to be in terms of skill

>>16311789
Only two songs have ever been removed and one was an April Fools' meme chart that was only playable on that one day, so just get the newest one unless you really, really want Cyber Thunder Cider for some reason.

>>16311802
Sweet, thanks.

>>16311801
I FC AAA 12s, and I still think 8s and 9s are really fun to play. Why not aim for a higher letter grade or clear status. Unless you have a Full Combo with MAX-5, there is still plenty of work to do.

>tfw Copula will take 10 hours to download

Man, I wanted to play today! I can't wait!

>>16311745
I'm not sure it does, you'd have to ask in the arcin thread on sows to be sure

>>16311745

It'd probably cost too much relatively, but you could buy a dao pop'n PCB and 9 of his longest wire harnesses and get both. But after shipping you're probably looking at 80+ bucks.

>>16293891
>1.0 is a frame. If you're noticing changes at increments of 0.1 (1.7ms), it's more than likely placebo

Really, if this is true I don't feel as bad anymore. Every person I see has ~+/- 0.5 so I thought I was doing something really wrong at -2.5.

So in theory I should just play on HD* and -1.5. It doesn't make any difference but it would make me feel better to be closer to 0.

>>16312258
Changing input delay is cheating.

>>16311801
I agree with the other anon. I'm at the point of hard 11s, got my 9th dan and considering doing my first 12.

I still play 6-7s because they're still fun. It is also satisfying to get AA/AAA when I never see them when doing 11s.

I wish we could adjust input delay by 1/20ths of a frame.

I feel like -0.05 would be perfect. -0.1 seems a bit too much.

>>16312294
This reminds me of a funny story. A few years ago, my friend bought Rock Band for his PS3. It was a fun casual game to have good times on.

I'd discovered that changing the input delay had wonderful effects for me and I became much more accurate; however, for everyone else it had the opposite effect, as unfortunately the delay effect was global. My friend would constantly bitch to me about how it was cheating to change the input delay. It pissed me off at the time. I wish I'd known that it was considered acceptable by pro rhythm game players, as it would've been nice to refute his arguments. They were all playing on babby mode difficulties anyway, and I was the only one playing on expert.

>>16311843

There was a graphic on the Konami site i've been trying to find for like an hour and I still can't, from one of the old pop'n pages, and there's some MS Paint style art of a guy using his forearm to properly hit 5 Popn notes at once.

yeah bsb normal is really a 6 and watch out is really a 7

>>16312258
Always assumed it's for slightly adjusting pgreat window. Even -0.5 seems a lot (~8ms) considering pgreat windows is single frame (16ms). SD to HD to HD* is there to deal with general latency issues, but otherwise don't believe offset was meant to combat any bigger lag problems. Different machines can be off by a few ms which is where offset can be handy without having to play around with gn or adapt. Keeping it consistent across the board
I guess if you're playing on a really shit monitor then -2.5 (+- 0.5) is fine

>copula refuses to work even though pendual works just fine

What the fuck.

>>16313337
make sure you have the updated omnimix 6.1 (assuming you're using it) and/or use the corrected dll provided somewhere in the thread

Also, nice l33t post number.

>>16312865
Yeah, that's exactly my issue other than my trouble with doing repeated lines of 1357 or 246. I don't know why I can't do it. Maybe it's a mental block because I can do longer streams just fine.

>>16313347
>>16313353
It's weird since omnimix 6.1 closes on its own and regular copula gets error parsing configuration with local server and the obvious network error if I don't change the konami adress to the local adress

Maybe it will work when I get a PCBID

>>16312865
they aren't necessarily harder they just call on different skillsets

My hands are actually big enough that I can make that chord. I just have to be extremely precise with my hand placement.

You can comfortably hit 3 buttons with one hand in pop'n, and you're expected to do so fairly often.

Why is Taiko no Tatsujin so forbidden to get into?

Everything surrounding it is a nightmare. There's a slew of semi-janky simulators that have a very scarce selection of song files to play.

And if you get all that working and are fine with the song selection you have no way to play with a "real" controller. There are no ASC even though they seem like they'd be piss easy to make. You have to make due with a shitty Bluetooth Wii controller or the slightly less shitty, extremely expensive, still Bluetooth Hori controller.

You could play the various Wii versions, even paying for them, but then you're look at a hundred or so songs and using those damn controllers.

And I don't oven dare mention Osu! Taiko mode.

It seems like the only real way to get into this game is to fucking buy a machine. I just wanna hit some smiling drums.

>>16314191
don't forget that there aren't very many cabs in the us at all, the game itself has less english than old pop'n releases, and if you do find a cab it's probably been beat to shit by stupid normies and children and doesn't work

>>16314185
That's what it looks like. They have pictures of a bunch of their machines in the arcade section, including a copula.

>>16314207
it's sinobuz

all machines on official e-amuse have been updated to sinobuz automatically by now

they probably still have the copula marquees and pops though because round 1 japan sends shit to its us stores using one single man who walks/swims the entire way

>>16314207
Oh, there's a Gravity Wars cab too apparently, it was just hiding in the background there. Neat.

I think USB IO refers to controllers.

Are you using some weird controller setup?

>>16315989

>I think USB IO refers to controllers.

>>16316116

What does it actually mean? I just assumed that it was the controller since the lights in my dao light up after the USB I/O check at bootup finishes, and copula crashed with a USB I/O error when I tried toggling the select button macro in-game.

>>16316436
>copula crashed with a USB I/O error when I tried toggling the select button macro in-game.
It's possible that toggling stuff causes the controller to quickly disconnect and reconnect. If the controller comes unplugged then the game is going to stop working since if you were in an actual arcade you wouldn't want people putting money in just to find out the buttons don't do anything.

>tfw you've been on sows for less than 24 hours and already have enough upload for Power User
Freeleech is OP.

>>16316893
You still need 2 weeks before you're promoted though.

>>16316570
The weird thing is it continued to run for a few songs after toggling, then eventually crashed in the middle of a song. I'm assuming it was the macro toggle since this is the first time it crashed.

Ah, alright, I was looking at Dao's spare parts catalog.

What do you need exactly besides a case, just buttons and a PCB?

>>16317403
If you look for a zero delay pcb on ebay or something, they'll usually come bundled with what you need to connect to the buttons so you're fine. That's really all you need.

>>16317403

And wood and screws and glue and a power drill (at the very least) all the drill bits and a hole saw that you will only ever use to build Pop'n controllers.

Don't get me wrong, it's not hard and I'm not trying to discourage you, but you build controllers because you want to, not because it'll save you money. Don't believe that guy's lies.

Unless you have a table saw, a miter saw, a jig saw, and a power drill, you are going to HAVE to put the final quality of your controllers into the hands of some fuck at Home Depot Who makes minimum wage at 50 cents a cut. He doesn't give a fuck about your projects.

>>16317359
It's already restocked.

Hi people owning dao iidx controllers/playing at the arcades, could you help me a little?
In short, how high is the turntable of a controller from the round silvery turntable stand?
1-2mm (1/16"-1/8" in freedom units)? 4-8mm (3/16"-5/16")?
I'm >>16299420
And I currently have no access to a controller/turntable. A rough estimate would help a lot!

>>16316116
Playing on keyboard is cheating.

>>16317347
I hate my PS1 minicon since the buttons are flat and not domed.

What was the pattern for making the card.txt file?

>tfw not rich enough to afford to play IIDX double

I need an extended mix of POSSESSION

>>16314191
>And I don't oven dare mention Osu! Taiko mode.
Why?

>>16318120
I assume it's because it's Osu.

I unironically enjoy Tag songs even if they're samey as shit.

Zephyranthes is fun.

>>16318213
It's fun in all games even in Jubeat

>>16318120
It's a shitty sim basically
A lot of general inaccuracies

Wobble Impact in Pop'n when? Dubstep is surprisingly fun in that game.

>>16318113
me fucking too holy shit

probably my favorite bemani song but it's so short ;__;

why is there a million MAX remixes

also what are some fun DDR songs ? 12-14 level

>>16318800
funky summer beach

>>16318800
Vega.

>>16318933
this is a lie

it's really a 15.8

it IS fun tho

>>16318322
Inaccurasies, like what?

>>16318960
Probably one of my favorite songs in the game, I'd love if it got a challenge chart. Really shouldn't be a 14 though, unless they want one song to objectively be the hardest 14 in which case that's it.

If I can play 6s and some 7s in old DDR what should I be looking at on the new scale

>>16319038
everything below 11

>>16319042
7 out of 10 is only equivalent to 11 out of 20?

:0

Thank you Tau

>>16319511
I'm pretty sure the difficulty roof has been raised in general. Super early DDR didn't really have so much that compares to some stuff that's around now in terms of difficulty. I played some SuperNova 2 stuff on PS2 back in the day, and recently I tried some X and X2 songs via Stepmania. 9's and 10's in SN2 are, at best, equal to 12's and 13's I would say, from what I remember at least. There's more in terms of dynamic difficulties as well, I noticed. SN2 seemed somewhat straightforward, but X/2 seemed to like to throw harder patterns to hit like jacks and crossovers a lot more.

Granted I've only played both of them a little bit, so I could be wrong, but that was my general feeling overall. I believe X/2 is older than the 20XX series too, isn't it? So my guess could be inaccurate by now, as well.

Anyway, I have a similar question as this anon has. Since I've only played X/2 stuff I was wondering where a good place to start on a 20XX DDR machine would be for difficulty, as I've found a place with some machines nearby and may try to visit it in the future. As I said I wouldn't know if things have changed since X/2 and that's my only point of reference currently.

Average difficulty of a song I might try to play might go something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MYcfhVJrws

>>16319511
max 300 is 15 now

>>16318970
Mate l,have you ever even played it?
>hold notes judged on when they are released
>judgements are incredibly loose
>no scratch in standard 7k

Teach me how to play one handed for scratch songs. The best position I found was

Thumb 1
Index 2
Middle 4
Ring 6
Pinky 7

Moving my thumb I can easily hit 3, but 5 is left alone and is awkward to hit. What's the correct hand position then?

>>16320784
Wait, I just realized that if I move my pinky I can hit 5. This position seems too good to be true. Am I doing it wrong?

>>16320784
take a picture

>>16319975
>9's and 10's in SN2 are, at best, equal to 12's and 13's

u wot m8. SN2 was full of misratings everywhere. Shades of Grey and Paranoia Hades on standard were both 8s but one turned into an 11 on the new scale and the other was a 15

This weebshit is pretty fun to play.

Finally got LR2 up and working. I feel like a retard, that was difficult.

Anyone know where to find HD themes?
The only places I can find are all down, or the files have been deleted from the filehost.

>>16320987
>RUSH! PRINCESS GLASS OVER-KNEE!

>>16321200
The reddit wiki guide has links to WMIX and Endless Circulation for LR2HD and LITONE for 1080p.

>>16321253
Thanks
The dropbox for Endless Circulation seems to have 404'd but I found another dl on a japanese website.

>>16320987
this song has one of the worst ddr charts in recent memory

>>16318256
Even memec beat?

>>16320398
Gee, you sure play an odd Taiko mode!
But seriously, the Taiko mode is even worse than mania.

>>16321592
what wrong with mania?

>>16321731
what isn't? it compares poorly to stepmania and lr2 which are the bottom of the barrel

DDR players are straight up ballers wtf

??? have you tried pressing f3/f4

>>16321754

>>16320913
I only played it a little, as I said. The one I remember distinctly was Xepher, which wasn't that bad for a 10, IIRC.

>>16319975
>9's and 10's in SN2 are, at best, equal to 12's and 13's I would say, from what I remember at least.
SN2 had Paranoia Hades Challenge and Pluto Relinquish Challenge, which are 18s on the new scale. Also >>16320913.

>>16321741
osu mania does have some nice features that other games don't

What are some good 8s to practice scratching? All the scratch-heavy 9s are too hard, but 7s like BSB and LTR on Normal are so easy they barely even feel like it'd help get better.

>>16322488
Central Station does have a scratch bit at the end of its 8 hyper.

I don't think there are any level 8 mad izm hypers.

But you should really try:

Checking You Out hyper
BSB Hyper (fail it if you must, but focus on nailing the scratch patterns)

>>16322498
>focus on nailing the scratch patterns
You mean just ignore the keys and get all the scratches? I'm not even sure how I'd tell if that's working or not with all the misses I'd be getting.

Mostly I'm having issues coordinating my hands, I can do fine when it's either just scratching or scratches at the same time as keys, but it goes to hell when there's suddenly tons of scratching with random key presses on the other hand.

>>16322174
It's probably worth noting that I was playing on a PS2 with the US version, not an actual machine. I don't know what, if anything, they might have removed or changed, but given how badly Konami raped the US version of BeatMania, I wouldn't hold out much hope that they didn't both strip it down and make it easier.

It only has like half the functionality of Arcana/PSun.

Besides I already have a PCBID for Arcana/PSun so why even bother switching?

Hell Charge Notes really are cheating, holy shit.

>>16323492
Yeah idk why they are called hell charge when they're piss easy
I cheesed my way thru donkey donk sph multiple times because of them

>>16323505
>donkey donk sph
Same, that and Acid Pumper were like the first 9s I cleared. I also managed to get Hell or Hell SPH but that one at least has some tricky scratching at the end. Diamond Crossing has such a long HCN you have to be trying to fail it.

>>16321977
that's my boyfriend and i can confirm he is trolling

actually serious

would it be rude to ask my local arcade manager why their ITG cab is running extreme and suggest they consider otherwise

>>16323633
fag

>>16323695
Not rude just autistic. Only huge nerds would care

>>16323711
im not a boy

>>16323724
i care because there's like 3 songs in extreme I actually like and I want variety

plus they already have an actual extreme cab so their itg doesn't need to be running it too

>>16323811
That's pretty dumb to be running two copies of Extreme.

>>16323880
that's exactly what I'm saying

they also have a 5th mix but the pads are absolute shit even by my noob standards

I just wanna play something other than extreme ;_;

>>16323264
I saw that and I laughed my ass off.

>>16323889
have them put the 5th mix in the itg cab, then play hot limit every game

5th mix fucking owns

>tfw you fail a song with a AA
Is there any worse feeling?

>>16324024
Yes. Failing a song in front of like 3 toprankers
