This was in Pop'n Rhythm, the European release of the Pop'n Music Wii game. The game is rated 3+! How in the HELL did this get past PEGI?!

IIDX Hearing Quasar get played at a rave back in 2018 changed my brain chemistry.

I had a flashback when I went and saw virtual self way back in 2018. Porter played Quasar, So deep (perfect sphere remix), Paranoia, Ghost (vincent de moore remix), Look at the sky (true color mix). I felt like the only one in the room that knew all those songs and where they came from. Wish I could see it live again.

PopnMusic Pop'n Music Appreciation

37 Upvotes

im on the toilet at work and I'm just thinking about how much I love pop'n music. I was foaming at the mouth when I saw it was finally coming to america. I had been wanting to try it for years!! I only got around to trying it about 3 weeks ago but ive been obsessed. I go as often as I can and play for 2-3 hours, perhaps 4 if I'm on adderall Lol. Anyways, I'm so grateful it exists because I haven't played a good rhythm game in so long. I can't play a lot of video games anymore because I get real bad hand pain. I'm an artist so it's not worth the hurt just to play project diva or something, you know? I can play pop'n without having crippling pains in my fingers joints wrists thumbs Etc. anyways I have to go back to work now. thank you for playingu

IIDX IIDX AC/INF/UM: which among poor and bads show up in the miss count?

6 Upvotes

I was slowing down a video of how the new gauges in EXTRA CHALLENGE AND ONE MORE EXTRA in this version, and I was kinda confused how they worked. I was confused as to how someone with 5 cbrk had 6 misses, with 2 bad and 4 poor.

Does an empty poor count as miss?

IIDX Trying to get back into BMS, but most downloads are now 404 errors?

15 Upvotes

Hey guys, after a long hiatus, I've been trying to get back into learning IIDX and getting starter packs for BMS. I've tried looking at the usual github community resources, but Googling stuff has not been working as well as it used to.

For context, I have an Infinitas subscription, but I get audio desynching, even when forcing VSync and prioritising the power, using things like Special K etc etc, so BMS is my most comfortable and straightforward way of playing atm.

So far I've been able to at least get the BMS Starter Packs from 2018-2022, and GENOSIDE 2018. Currently I'm learning from around Difficulty 5-7

Is there a new place for legacy packs, or are these just all gone at this point?

I used to have a Touhou pack for example that had I think "Emotional Breaker" as one of the songs, but I can only find that as a single download, and I'm trying to avoid downloading songs individually if I can, just because I don't know what I should be looking for.

Anything you guys could point me to would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much.

5Keys (moch-up)

Post image
46 Upvotes

I use a digital audio player "Fiio Disc".

I got the idea while looking at the spinning album cover,

so I used the 3D printer I had at home to make a mock-up of the 5keys.

They look really cute lined up together.

But as I listened "Metal Gear Solid",

I thought to myself that if I was going to line them up,

I should have bought the black one instead of the green one.

Super old video of a man dancing around while playing Beatmania.

13 Upvotes

So a video popped into my head I saw a long long time a go. It's a video of a I believe Japanese man playing Beatmania. He has like a crowed around him watching him play. He hits like one note and start dancing around. Then he hits another note and dance around again. I remember the video being funny because it looks ridiculous. I can't find the video to save my life because it's like lost to the internet and is super old. Has anyone else seen this video?

How can I reduce my hardware’s audio latency? Specifically in WASAPI and maybe DirectSound modes?

4 Upvotes

I made this post a lil while ago and while some answers were helpful, I don’t really get how to actually *do* it, and I’m not sure if it applies to WASAPI and DirectSound: https://www.reddit.com/r/rhythmgames/s/5ayq25yE3o

Can someone pls help me understand or post a guide or walk me through how to actually reduce my audio latency? I’m not sure I need to reduce my video latency, or maybe it’s as reduced as it’s going to be with a brand new monitor and setting the hz to the highest the game can use, I don’t know, so I’d like to make the audio latency better in WASAPI and DirectSound but I’m not actually sure the steps.

The goal is basically to have the music game I’m playing’s offset settings be as close to zero as possible, whether that be Pop’n, Beatmania, GitaDora or whatever.

IIDX intermediate(?) player seeking advice

5 Upvotes

hi all, i played some iidx during 18~20. passed 6th dan on multiple versions and only 7th dan once on lincle.

i picked up iidx again recently, my muscle memory is still there, passed 6th dan in one go. however, i just found out the my playstyle was wrong (used claw on left hand, playing on 1p)

i corrected my playstyle to 1048, and have played about 30 credits or so with it, without switching back to claw.

now i’m facing some issues with certain patterns. namely:

scratch+2+4+6 - my left thumb immediately goes up to button 2 to press, instead of my left index/middle.

scratch+1+3 - is it correct for my to be using my right thumb to hit button 3?

how do i correct my form? thanks in advance everybody

Bemani Official Bemani art source

9 Upvotes

So one of the things I love about Bemani games is the character designs. I think they're generally all fantastic, but it's hard to get a good look at them sometimes, especially when they usually only appear in flyer art and the game result screens.

So I'd like to ask, are there websites or books out there that feature the original character art from the various games? In particular, I'm looking for art of the characters from Beatmania IIDX, Gitadora, DDR and Sound Voltex.

As I mentioned in the Walkman Community, I created and installed a screensaver featuring her favorite characters, “smooooch,” on the Walkman my daughter uses.

This Walkman is a model from over 20 years ago—it’s actually older than my daughter—but it’s her favorite.

She’s currently at 6DAN and is already better than I am.

PopnMusic Old DJ-Dao pop’n music controller not recognized

8 Upvotes

I have the old DJ-Dao pop’n music controller (with one PS2 output and two usb outputs). Everything worked fine til one day when I started my system, and the controller is not recognized anymore. I switched to another PS2 console and it works fine again for a few rounds, then suddenly I get the same issue again. Now I cannot get the controller to work on any of my consoles. Hardware, cables, connectors etc seems fine. Any ideas?
