(probably a stupid question but im anxious, as im sure many of you are)

So if Kaizoku gets the site running will everyone's orders be up and going?

Oh I have full faith in the product, I just need to have it in my hands so I can stop belching obscenities with every song I play

Definately. Once the sites released they'll have a line for waiting. Much like Desktop Arcade and Ransai.

dao mentioned he had around 30 units pre-built for the site opening, so I doubt anyone will have to wait for their controllers - and even at that, it's not difficult for him to make another batch

Oh, then that's cool. I'm sure he won't be too swamped with orders apart from the 30 already pre-built. I'm interested in one but all I need it to bring myself to get the monkey for it.

I normally avoid commenting on typoes, but this:

gave me the most wonderful image of an organ grinder with a little monkey sitting on his shoulder - only instead of cymbals, it has a little miniature IIDX controller.

...what? What?! No, I'm not a psychotic freak!

The reason being that Flash only seems to want to launch a window of normal size, not of what I want it to. I want it to launch the order form, but it's not very big, so I didn't want it to be a fullscreen window, otherwise with the way I have it, it would look a little silly.

If it's best not to do it, I'll just keep it the way it is.

I'll have to fool around with CuteFTP Pro to figure out how to do the CHMOD thing.

Here maybe some help for you!
Php command have this function:

1.ftp_connect
resource ftp_connect ( string host [, int port [, int timeout]] )
You can bulit a new ftp connection.
for example:
<?php
$ftp_server = "ftp.example.com";
// set up a connection or die
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server");
?>

2.ftp_login
bool ftp_login ( resource ftp_stream, string username, string password )
for example:
<?php
$ftp_server = "ftp.example.com";
$ftp_user = "foo";
$ftp_pass = "bar";

// set up a connection or die
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server");

// try to login
if (@ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass)) {
echo "Connected as $ftp_user@$ftp_server\n";
} else {
echo "Couldn't connect as $ftp_user\n";
}
?>

3.ftp_put
bool ftp_put ( resource ftp_stream, string remote_file, string local_file, int mode [, int startpos] )
you can upload any type file.
for example:
<?php
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_ASCII);
?>

I hope this is useful for you.my friend.
Thank you for everyone for your attention about DJDAO controllers.

hopefully it doesssss lets get them orders goingggggggg

im so anxious im sick now lol x_x

[kaizoku]

Well, more slightly bad news. The PHP file is missing, and my coder is moving and won't have internet until the 5th of September.

This means I either wait until after the 5th, so he can either write it again, or check to see if it had it backed up.. or if someone here knows php well, I can give you all the info needed to write it up again. It's not very long, I promise Only about 10 lines of php

The good news is once this is done, it's done.

[2mro]

That's what you guys get for moving cross country at the same time!

*waits patiently still*

I have already bought!
This is really very good Usage!^_^

Woah....I got my FP7 today... and believe it or not
it's almost as beat up as Lam's controller....

First thing that's not right is when I took it out of the box, the metal plate on the TT fell off, it was secured by double sided tape.
But I saw 4 screws on the TT when the plate is off, so I guess it's easier for me to modify it a little bit.
some...dandruff I believe got caught in between the transparent plastic near the buttons.
The TT itself...well dunno how to explain it, I think it's the same with Lam. TT is a little bit slanted , when you turn the TT to a half way point.. the second half of the TT got some friction while turning...and of course, minor scratches everywhere.
The bottom got some glue leaking out...and bumps and holes are evident.

Conclusion:
Well I actually didn't feel that bad since I got it at China with no shipping cost. One thing I'm sure is that it's not a shipping problem..
I'll upload some of my controller pics later, I'm gonna go try playing with it for a while :P.

Playing with the controller is great! Just need a little time to get use to the height of the TT and the feel of the buttons...I've been pressing shinning GREATs a lot more now~

[jonZ]

ah thats scary...I talked to Dao earlier today and my PE is on it's way even though the site isn't up or anything....

but that sucks about your FP7 :-\ im kinda scared to see what mine is going to look like when it comes now...x_x

[scottchen75]

Dao was really concered about my situation and gave me a small tutorial about how to fix the TTsituation, and it worked really well and solved both slanted problem and the hard to turn issue.

He also explained to me all of the issues Lam and I having with the controller, and he promised that these are the last last LAST batches that'll contain so many minor problems.

But some of the gliches are still inevitable due to the material used for contructing the FP7. Such as small scratches (plastic), and the powder like thing got stuck inside the plastic sheets due to static from the plastic (those are remained powder after cutting the white material that surounds the TT)

OK, next batch will have no more wierd glue marks under the controller, no more TT problems (since you can modify it by yourself now), and no more falling metal plates!!! (well...the plate fell off good cause I need to take it off anyways :S)

That's about it with our conversation on msn. I'm really lucky cause I got in contact with him right away after I opened my package :P Dao is trying really hard to prevent these problems, and I'm gonna support him !!

Packaging


Contents inside the box
top left is the [wonder] dvd, under it is the ps to pc converter, and the FP7 itself






I think people including me, look at tiny details a bit too closely. It's true that I provide information on the real condition of the controller and gave some negative thoughts, but please don't consider my opinions too seriously. The truth is, who gives a damn when you're playing with it...you look at the tv not the controller, and also the buttons and visual are way way better than the CS con, no doubt about it.

The problems with the controller are basiclly the same with Lam, so gonna up it if anyone really want it..
