Hello, World! Let's play some Pop'n!
DeJaVood0o | 7:50 PM on 02.26.2009 13 comments


Oh goodness, I've finally gotten around to making use of my Destructoid account. I've read Dtoid, played in Friday Night Fights, and listened to RFGO! for at least a year but here's my first entry into the community.


For this first little post I'm just going to list some console controller projects I've been wanting to jump into. I'm going to document each of these with photos and their own blog post when I finally get around to doing them.


1. Create a Pop'n Music Arcade Style Controller [ASC]
This summer I went to Japan. In a Japanese arcade I saw a sweaty twenty-something Japanese man playing this game:


It's Pop'n Music and it's amazing. Aside from Guitar Hero it is the most fun I've had with a rhythm game.

I'd like to build a controller to play Pop'n on my PS2. It will look like a very ghetto version of this:


It's going to take some woodworking skills [which I have yet to develop] and some soldering skills [which I have] and some cash [which I will get].


2. Take the guts from my Xbox 360 Gibson X-Plorer and put them inside my Cherry PS2 Gibson SG

In my opinion there is no better plastic guitar than the original Guitar Hero Gibson SG for the PS2.


I want to be able to play Rock Band, Rock Band 2, and Guitar Hero 2 on my 360 with THAT controller. So I'm going to take all the higher-function machine parts from an X-Plorer and combine them with the body, buttons, and whammy bar of an SG. If I can find some way to keep that little X button with the 1,2,3,4 player lights then that would be great.


In short I should be shredding on my 360 with an SG. A freaky frankensteinian SG.

It's going to take some SRS plastic cutting/gluing skills and tools [which I will borrow] and some SRS SRS >:| soldering skills [I hope I don't break anything].


3. Fix my Xbox 360 controller d-pad
The up and down on my 360 controller's d-pad don't work. I'mma fix it. Nuff said.


So uh there's my first blog post. I'll be sure to fill in the "About Me" soon.

Add me on XBL!

Thank you! I feel welcome!

Yeah as far as I can tell from my research they are much smaller and feel not much like the arcade controllers.

I can't wait to play Pop'n when I go to Japan. That game looks so fun.

pop'n music is the greatest thing in the world. there's a good scene in Lost in Translation where Scarlett Johannson's character watches, yes, a sweaty 20 something playing it.

welcome welcome.
