Hyper, done! Woot. This is the first Hyper that I looked at and went: “What the hell? I cannot play this!” It only took, shit like what, an hour of playing it over and over. I had to play phrases 40 - 47 for close to 20 min just so that the section did not drop my bar down all the way. I still have problems passing it after I worked on Surf Rock for about an hour as well. I can get 75K+ on Dimanche HP but I am still just passing narrowly. I about averageing 52-65 bads depending on if I get confused or not. I can still fail Surf Rock with only 58 Bads, I am increadible.

After talking with kotetsu I have realised that this will not be so easy to do (the buttons, sorry I started in the middle of a thougth). I think that I am going to have to make a Pop’n Ghetto Box. I have 2 options:

1) My wife is working at a place that has some extra ply wood that is 3/8th inch thick. It may just be thin enough to where I can keep the middle ring in on the buttons. (Middle ring Images can be found here.) Until I figure out how to cut a 3.6″ hole in my MDF I can just use thin wood for the top peice and hope it does not break.

2) Really Ghetto-ify it and take out the middle ring (whick would make the button look as though it is hovering about 1/8th inch off the surface) and then hope that I can get the nut to attach to the buttons threads on my current MDF.

I have already invested FAR too much into what I had initally thought was going to be a cheap product. I would really like to start using an ASC to practice as I know the more “use to” my custom controller I get, the harder it will be to make the switch. This is all making me a bit frustraded because I have put all this cash into it and I cannot do anything but look at a pile of supplies.
