Konami Addresses Sync Issue in DDR SuperNOVA

[Tsuri]

the patch got installed on our machine today. It didn't do much... it reset the highscores... thats pretty annoying.

Well, anyway, back on topic, here is what I noticed after playing on a patched Supernova today for the first time:

1. There is no longer a coin count on both sides of the screen.
2. The build date is 0728200600.
3. When selecting on the Easy/Nonstop/All Music screen, the selection is slightly faster, but still is annoyingly slow.
4. You no longer have to press + perfectly in sync for the sort to change. It does it much easier now.
5. Scrolling on the song wheel is faster now. There is no longer a 1 second pause after holding down a button to fast scroll.
6. Flow ~true style~'s speedups are for the most part pointless, but it does make the song a bit more fun.
7. Konami's "It's new records!" engrish was fixed to "It's a new record!"
8. This was a nice surprise (although I remember reading it somewhere): DIFFICULTY sort is now available.
9. I believe autofail is off for Beginner --> Difficult modes. Two people were playing on standard and both their lifebars were all gone but they didn't fail until the end. This is good though; it was a bit mean to see someone fail half way through a song on beginner.
10. Not sure if I haven't noticed this before, but you can turn off Jumps (L+R, U+D, etc.) off?!
11. I believe now there is a split second that you CAN enter the Select Options screen after pressing start.
12. Not sure again, but there seems to be better explanations on what the options in the Select Options menu does.
13. All specific song and course scores were reset.
14. Timing is fixed, as much as I noticed.
15. I read this before, but I'm not sure if it now applies: DDR's timing has always technically been slightly early from the sound of the song on a normal, non-offsync chart. I read now that with the patch, the timing is dead-on to the song like ITG2. Is this true?
16. A variety of new background environments were added.
Edit: Two things I remembered..
17. Full combo no longer gets you an A. You can also get a B with the rings under it with a FC.
18. Immediately after the song finishes, right when the "Cleared" sign shows up a "dun" sound effect is played. I guess this is supposed to add an effect to clearing a song.

That's all I noticed, did anyone find anything else?

Played Fascination ~Eternal Love Mix~ today for the first time. It seemed off. I pretty much Great-Attacked the entire song :/

Anybody else find this? Or was I just havin' a bad day.

New background envoirnments? New characters too?

No new characters. However, I recall seeing quite a few environments that don't look familiar from the old version.

FaXX and Healing D Vision seem slightly off-sync now (from what they were before) is anyone else noticing this or am I the only one?

Yup, zdemigoth, you're right, I forgot about the two slots.

I doubt the SuperNOVA Perfect window is any smaller than Extreme. It felt just the same when I played visually.
