ok I know. Thank you

Aye I think this is a sweet Idea. I am kindo late to the Taiko segment of Osu, However my sister recently got this great interest in it and would like to play with the drum set. I was wondering what I should do about it because after a ton of research it seems that the default wii drum is bad. Do I absolutely have to Mod the drum or can I buy one that works good right away? After I figure what I will do about the drum, I would love to buy one of these converters to fix the lag problem!

Thanks!

I would definitely say the default wii drum 100% needs modding. That being said, there are 2 other options:

Hori drum. Practically arcade spec. $270. Somewhat overkill..

$30 Chinese knockoff drum. Feels funny to play on since they use real buttons instead of capacitive sensors, but without mods it plays better than the official drum without mods.

If you mod the official drum it's the best value for money, but if you don't want to mod anything I think the knockoff wins.

Yeeees I see, well I will more than likely be going for the mod-route then. I see the official Taiko Drum for like $50 bucks on amazon, so I figure it will be okay. I look forward to trying everything out!

Thank you for the quick response omg.

What do you mean by modding the official drum? What are its shortcomings? Is there a guide anywhere on what you can do to make it better?
Edit: Actually, I just saw that GMMAwesome posted one just 2 pages ago: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.ph ... tcount=117

Also, thank you for all your hard work on making and distributing this converter!

If I buy a Wii tatacon drum or wii U tatacon are they both compatible with osu? Also if I use a wii tatacon u to usb converter do I by owning a wii console or wii U console entirely?

I can't off the top of my head but I'm pretty sure the Wii U drums also connect via the Nunchuck connector. If this is the case, it will work fine with my converter! You don't need a wii at all

how long would it take to ship to Korea?

Never sent one there! It could be as fast as 1 week, Korea is quite close

You are in Japan?

Nope, I am based in Australia. Closer than America

Is it possible for shipping to Korea to be cheaper than normal?

captainblund wrote: 6z1b2b

Because the converter is small, I get away with pretending it's a "Large letter". Because of this, cost saving of sending to Korea is only 60 cents PM me if you're still interested

I have sent a Pm.

Is it just a converter?

Actually you answered what I was trying to ask
I wonder if there is a set of drum in it.

So... it is just a converter...

Nevermind... I checked out a set of tatacon online
Everything are so expensive...

Yes, the drums are not cheap I am currently prototyping a "basic" version of the converter. It may be $15 instead of $25. I'm not sure if I can make it work. Shall see...

My prototypes arrived - due to differences in the USB and Nunchuck connector, they do not work. Oh well :\

Having ed this is a thing, I'm highly considering picking one of these up once I have the funds to afford getting a wii drum. Possibly after the holidays depending on circumstances. Would be something great to play around with when I'm not up for really hard songs.

Will I need a wii controller for this?

Email notifications froze again, sorry for the delay.

No Wii controller required! The controller plugs directly into the converter as though it were a wiimote.

Nice! I sent my money through paypal, hoping that this converter will be pretty good.Thanks!

The adapter came in the mail in about 3 weeks, and there isn't any noticeable delay from it. The only thing I need to do is fix my tatacon's rim, the hits are not very accurate and I have to hit pretty hard for it to . Overall I'd give the adapter a 10/10. My drum however gets a 3/10.

Wow, that seems great!
I'll be ordering one since I was given a knock off Taiko remote, but I actually want to try and replicate your work as a side project.
Thing is, I know next to nothing about Arduino and the likes.
How do I go about making my own Tatacon to USB converter?
I'm prepared to learn whatever it takes.

is this tatacon only? would this work on the wii fight stick?

Safe assumption that this doesn't work for the wii fight stick. May want to look into a different converter for that.

I just hoped on the taiko train, this seems really nice ~ Any updates on the refill ?

And since nobody ever asked ima ask here : can it work without installing Chrome - and ever better, can it be customised without using the Chrome app ? My toaster laptop's burning at 60°C without anything launched, so I'm not too keen on installing new softwares on top of that.

is dis legit ??
cuz imma buy it when i sack someone's money

If I had a dollar for every missed 'new message' notification from the forums, I'd have... at least 6 dollars.

Arduino Leonardo (for keyboard emulation), nunchuck adapter for arduino ($1 off ebay) and communicate via I2C to the nunchuck. You can even use my code, just as long as you hook it up to the right pins.

Refill coming ~soon~, waiting for my PCB fab to ship. You do need the Chrome app to configure things, but can uninstall it once you do, since it re the settings.

110$% legit, I've almost sold 100!

Oh, and sorry to crush the colourful people, but the next batch will be black only (unless you 3D print your own case). I've had ongoing issues with getting parcels out on time, and I don't like being that guy. Making them all black lets me pre-print everything for massive gains in shipment speed.

Far longer than promised, but back in stock! And $5 discount for the next month.

USB adapter came in today. Works great! I have a question more so about osu. Is there any way to lower the sensitivity of drum hits? Because I feel like I have to hit really hard on the drum for it to hits.

If it's an official drum, use this mod. If it's a chinese clone, you just have to hit harder :\

Yes, it's an official drum. Thanks for the link! Definitely going to look into this.

Does all knockoff tatacon were made the same design? the official drum is very pricey

thinking of buying a knockoff since there is no way i can afford the official ones..

oh btw, is the discount still available? :3 /cheapskate

2 months late, I'm afraid. Knockoff is all the same (as far as I can tell) - design is simple and playable, you just have to hit don a little hard. And noisy. But it works well!

i see. well guess i will only get to play during the day then if i were to get it

oh btw, may i know which type of knockoff drum do you own?

is it this kind

Oof, very sorry about not updating the website - more stock in 2 weeks (hopefully less)

Any news with stock?

If there is more delay that's no problem but I would like to know if you are still alive

What about srock? And how many does it cost at all if its possible to send this in russia?

Sincere apologies, I've been overly busy in the leadup to Xmas - I should have posted an update sooner.

I've got all the parts, just need to print cases + solder things together. I've been having some Z-axis issues where the USB connector doesn't fit through the final print, so I've expanded tolerances and will reprint soon. I expect to have stock shortly after Christmas, maybe only a few days after boxing day.

-mon

PS: Russia is same as everywhere else, $25 delivered.

Alright - we're finally back. Thanks again for waiting!

Thank you, just placed my order!

montymintypie wrote: 446c1i

Still waiting for the parcel, but while I wait, I got hard numbers on latency.

Using my scope, I had 1 probe connected to a piezo mic, and another to the LED of the converter. This LED updates at 1KHz, the same rate as the USB update rate.

SPOILER

I then smacked the drum 50 times, and recorded the delay between the moment the piezo started to respond, and when the converter ed a hit. An example measurement:


After 50 hits, here are the results:
Average: 1.802ms
Median: 1.77ms
Std Deviation: 0.44454517
Min: 1.1ms
Max: 2.78ms

Rounding the max value up, I can confidently say that there is an absolute worst case 3ms lag. And average lag of 1.8ms. This is imperceptible. Lagfree = confirmed!

Well, I hope that this actually works Anyway, where can I buy dis thing

Never would I have thought I'd known of Mon years before getting into bemani...

i am so interested in this and taiko is something i am starting to really get addicted to so i am going to buy a tatacon converter tomorrow.

so just plug it in and get the TaTaConfig on crome web store and turn on the osu! settings for it and its all set for a beating?

i hope i am lucky and they both arrive on the same day.

im interested to order !

but first let me check where to buy the tatacon first...

if you're happy with the default keyboard bindings, you don't even need the config app at all! Plug and play

Phew.. 7 months since anyone said anything- luckily I do have a specific reason!

Does anyone know if MontyMintypie still sell these or is it completely inactive? I tried ing the sellers email(just to ask a few questions) and PM on this community but no response, so I figure I try asking here on the forum where maybe anyone might know? xD (Worth a short!)

FruitySoleil wrote: 1t4k2g

mon is awfully quiet

Have replied to your mail - still here, still selling, still shipping!

Hey montymintypie! Are you still selling the USB adapters? I wrote you a few weeks ago to [email protected] and got no resply. I would like to purchase 2 of your awesome adapters if possible...

Hi,
I wanted to buy a Tatacon to USB converter but Paypal told me you don't have any left. So I wanted to ask if you had any left somewhere or if you would produce more of them sometimes.

Nice, it looks like I'm not alone. Hopefully montymintypie comes back the the forum.

Yo, it may be a stupid question, but can the Drum be directly connected to the adapter, or do I need a Wiimote too?

Directly connected, no wiimote required.

I'm going to produce more in the coming months, if you still want one after such a long delay...

Hmm gonna buy this when it comes back to stock.

Also, Will I be able to somehow bind the keys with the TaTaConfig extension to get it to work on a PS4?

I think you might need an adapter to convert keyboard -> PS4. PS4 needs a specific controller layout if I recall correctly, that I don't supply.

Ok, got it. Thanks for the extremely fast replies!

EDIT : Hey sorry for asking so much, but can You map the TaTaConfig settings to mouse keys? If Yes i would not need a Keyboard to PS4 adapter.

It's keyboard keys, but you can map them yourself.

montymintypie wrote: 446c1i

No, not mouse buttons.

Welp rip

Still a great product tho

Holly crap! He's alive!!! (^_^)y I'm still interested. What should I do to order 2 adapters?

Simply wait - I have a new design I need to and Switch I need to code for (the main blocker). I promised this over a year ago but I just haven't been able to dedicate the time after work to make it happen

Great! What's the reason behind the design revision if you don't mind asking? I'm just interested on the Wii (Wii-U) adapters as those tatacon are the ones I own. Please update us once you get more in stock.

The connectors are difficult to get a hold of and fairly expensive, so I'm redeg with PCB based connectors and a second connector since I have room.

Ooo I’m still alive btw lol. I’m excited to see the revision! Might buy it just to test it out after it’s done haha

Wow, it's been a whole year since the last message. Hope eveyone is well and healthy.


montymintypie, how is the new PCB revision going? I can see your shop still let me buy your adapters. Do you have any in stock?

Last I checked with him he's really behind and works been taking up a lot of his time. He's still getting him out but the orders have gotten to a point where he needs more people to get them out but doesn't have the funds. This was about a 2 months ago though so I could DM him if he doesn't see this first.
