Wow, I just picked up a small Konami Pop'n controller, and I have to say.. it's a lot better than I thought it would be. It really gets the job done. I'm sure it's not arcade perfect, but that's what my ASC will be for when it arrives =D

SMBU is coming over tonight so we can take some comparison pics of the ASC vs. the smaller official controller.

My thoughts exactly. Everyone always complains about the small controller, but I like it a lot! It is ultra sensitive, and it works like a charm. I would LIKE an ASC, but this thing is fine. I don't think the transition from home to arcade will be THAT bad... hopefully.

What do you need instructions for? Smbu just provided us with pictures so we can determine the correct measurements. Otherwise all that needs to be done is drill the holes and solder the buttons onto the correct contacts. So go out and buy the buttons... E13.gif

I remember reading a thread before that Lydia posted in saying that it is THAT bad. It sucks that nearest arcade Pop'n machine is like 5 hours from me.

I'm pretty dense when it comes to making things. It's the whole "drill the holes onto the soldering contact button" that messes me up. I have no clue how to even start; I assume I'd need a gutted Playstation controller or something. But there's no way this is getting done unless I have instructions.

Fair enough, soldering to a dual-shock can be pretty annoying... E1.gif
But really, if you look in the DDR At Home forum you'll find wiring instructions that are identical except for the fact that you have to do 5 more contacts for Pop'n Music (unless there is something particularly tricky about soldering the L1/R1 buttons).

Hmm, all this talk is finally motivating me...

Smbu |L©|: Looks like you got a nice deal on that one, nj.
Does anyone know how long it takes them for sure? I hope not too long.

Hell yeah, the auctiion had been going on for only an hour when i saw it and that awesome "buy it now" price. I had to jump on the deal. biggrin.gif

As for how long it takes, so far both my controllers(IIDX ASC and PNM ASC) have taken about 2 weeks from when I won the auction to me actually getting the controller. Remember that the seller has to ship the controller to Rinkya first in Japan and then after it is shipped to you via EMS.

For Arcade Style controllers Rinkya doesn't hold them for a month like they do with other items, because they are big items that they can't ship with other stuff, so they send them out once they get them. At least I think they do. I emailed them about both of my controllers after i won each auction, to ask if they would hold them a month or not. But yeah after Rinkya's extra shipping fee(I think an extra 25% on top of the shipping charge) the total to ship the controller to me from Japan to cali. was $76 via EMS.

Screen EX is the hardest thing I have ever seen in my life.

I wish I had the money for an ASC. It looks so great. I'm so jealous of you.

Ok peoples, here are the comparison pics of the Pop'n arcade style controller and the regular official controller, both by Konami.

Comparison #1

Comparison #2

Comparison #3

A very happy SMBU and sad SuPa

Ok so there ya go, hopefully that helps everybody decide what they want and/or how to make one. We measured the distance between buttons, they are 1.5 inches away from each other both left/right and up/down.

Yay! I just passed Des-Reggae on Hyper HS4. Now the only thing I can't pass on Hyper is Classic 4.

Horray.

Oh, and Kyou Goki EX is the shit.

I see that a few of you may be interested in getting a PnM ASC so here are a few links from Rinkya. GL.

Weird... Classic 4 Hyper is seeming less and less impossible as I'm getting used to the button placement. I may be able to pass it in a week or so.. *crosses his fingers*

And it's all about Invisible Lovers EX 4x hidden random mirror.

Don't give up! Just place an order, and you'll be the next in line!

Anyway, I'm improving ever so slightly. I can just barely pass a couple low-star-level Hypers. And I can finally unlock EX songs. riiight.gif
