Pop'N Music Help

[herored]

I have never played Pop'N music. This will be the only bemani game I have yet to play.

I just had a few questions.

My first is I have yet to decide whether to get a Desktop Arcade or a DJ Dao.

I can only pay with money order though. I don't think Ransai's are being sold anymore.

I'm not buying a mini controller. No matter how cheap it is.

Second, where can I buy a Swap magic from a internet store that accepts money orders.

And which is cheaper, the one for the slim or the fat ps2 because I have both.

And lastly, I was going to start off playing the game with FEVER (14), is that a good game to start off with.

Thats it. I know its a lot of questions.

I just want to thank everyone for not helping me.

I'm in the same boat as you.

I'm building my own controller, though. I got the buttons (arcade-size) pretty cheap, and I just need to construct it.

I'll be getting Pop'n 13 (Carnival), though. I heard that FEVER! has a meh songlist.

Right, the questions.

1.) Desktop Arcade controllers are very nice. However, if you have the patience, you can build your own.

2.)There are lots of places that sell Swap Magics, try Googling it.

Or, if you have a PS2 HDD (since you have a fat PS2), you can back it up onto that with a program called HDLoader and play it off of that without killing the laser. It improves the load times, too.

3.)I'm not entirely sure of what game to recommend; I would suggest going onto Youtube and seeing which game has songs that you like.

Specifically, look for a user named "Mokai".

1. Dao>desktop arcade
2. ......you can do this part yourself ok
3. Fever is good, so is carnival.

Alot of people recomend PnM8.... If you are a newbie.

If not, Carnival (I own it anyway) like everyone else or FEVER... (BESIDES the fangirl reason. >.<' )

Iroha was pretty okay.

As for controller.... I know it's possible to make one... But... Since I don't even own one, i'll let you decide.

Same goes for everyone said about Googling Swap Magic. (I would love one as well. =w=)

[zorahk]

the downside to pnm 8 is the interface FEELS dated.

honestly I would get something newer because you'll like it better.

Wow you post this after 1 day? It's responses like this that absolutely tick me off. A lot of questions can be found by doing a little digging on this forum (this thread isn't the first of its kind!). We get questions like this all the time. Just be patient next time, or respond nicely. Thread closed.
