Desktop Arcade's Pop'n Music ASC - New V4 info 1st post - Page 2

Hey guys, I have a DASC and I noticed that the lights really didnt light up very bright so I did a little button modding one day. I opened all my buttons and replaced the little white disc inside it with an equally shaped piece of wax paper. Now the light shines through even brighter while still giving that "solid" look of the button.

I also noticed my white lights were actually light purple, lol.

That is a somewhat true somewhat not. The way white (and pretty much all colors, to a lesser extent red, green, and blue) LEDs are produced, it is just a variance in the output of color. Nothing I can prevent or change. Most of mine look pretty white to me.

You're going to have this problem not only with all ASC makers, but with most LEDs of this nature you will buy/find in any component.

Yeah, that's why I'm not freaking out about it, but it threw me off the first time I went to adjust my hi-speed settings and nothing happened. I'll have to pop it open tonight and let you know what I can figure out. What things should I look for and check before I start swapping out switches?

I really do slap the hell out of it though, not in anger, but when I play Seisyun Punk(?), I get a little carried away and start bouncing around hitting the buttons like an idiot

. I may have jostled something loose

Are they 200 still?

Any cheaper models like a Kagura?

DELICIOUS HOT COCK · 06-19-2006, 04:46 PM

It sounds cheap enough to me already >_>

Arimasen · 06-19-2006, 05:01 PM

Best 200 dollars I ever spend, comparing this to other times I spend exactly 200.

The general concensus is that you get what you pay for... not just about this, but for everything, pretty much.

Posting because I'm curious as to how my custom art PNM DASC is coming along?
I know you've mentioned catching up on the queue for the solid PNM DASCs, but I haven't heard about the custom art ones. Are they being caught up too in a similar fashion?

My pop'n games are sitting unused because I don't want to play them with my dual shock haha. :p

While waiting for my asc I played lots of dual shock pop'n. I can now do up to 36's.

I never received any email and I didn't see any update on your website for the current order queue thread.

Well, I'll say here and now that once I get confirmation of my IIDASC shipping I'm ordering up a Pop'N controller. I never thought I would be interested in the game until I actually got to play it.

I'm spread very thin right now... You'll hear from me; unfortunately I have many customers right now and I need to also keep up on their email, production lines, and parts orders.

Don't get me wrong; I just don't know how to scrap the cash together if I ever bought one. I like em; I've been backing Steve on this since I met him at a Sportsworld Tourney where he debuted an IIDX controller; that was over 2 years ago.

Steve is a busy man, guys. He's running multiple operations; IIDX and Pop'n Controllers is a difficult business, even though he's managed to streamline production. Think about it; he gets a lot of orders.

Steve: I don't know if you even remember me, but I was that annoying guy who you probably blocked on aim cuz I bugged the shit out of you. All I wanna say is rock on dude.

These controllers look awesome. I think I might need to pick up one here in a little bit.

Azure · 06-20-2006, 09:56 PM

Can I get a picture update on my controller to see if too much green was added or not (Since I wanted turquoise, you describing it as green is unsettling)? Also, how close is mine to shipping? This is taking a lot longer than expected, especially when I expected it to ship on Wednesday/Thursday of last week, then Monday of this week, and now by the end of this week (Especially when I'm going to be worrying about SAT scores on Monday and AP scores the following Saturday). What makes it worse is that I ordered over a month ago and was told that you could easily make it and ship it in that 3 week time frame so that it'd arrive by the beginning of June (And now it looks like it's going to arrive by the beginning of July).

I know that my indecision definetly didn't help things, but I'd think that you would have continued working on it regularly, especially since the order was already fully paid for. The controller was in "wiring stages" on 5/22. On 6/8 it was "very close to completion." It is nearly 2 weeks later and the controller still hasn't shipped. What makes it worse is that I've been promised pictures of the controller "tomorrow" with every email/message from you since 5/23. I don't really count this as a picture of my controller:
