I was fortunate enough to go back into O2Jam at almost the same level as I came out at (I can't really say what that level is, because the difficulty ratings are so all over the place in that game). Getting it to work in the first place was a hell of a feat! DirectDraw and Aero have never really gotten along all that well, and considering Aero is basically forced on Windows 8...well...
Fortunately, the Wine DDraw library (which is basically a wrapper that converts it to OpenGL calls) works phenomenally.
I haven't played around with a IIDX sim in a while. I had a IIDX sim a while ago (might have been LR2...I don't remember) that I pretty much used exclusively to play keysounded originals like K8107/P8107, among others. I'm going to have to get into that again.
On another note! DAO!

And a crappy video:

After I got used to the controller I was able to almost finish clearing every 7K chart in 6th style. I cleared everything except for this fucking motherfucker from hell:

I've noticed a pretty major difference in scores even before I adapted to the differences between the CS and AC turntable spacing. On charts that I've played as recently as last night I've been getting Ex scores upwards of 60 points higher than before. There's also much less finger strain since the Sanwas don't bottom out nearly as hard as the US KOC button boards do (I was using a hybrid controller: JP KOC base [which has a much better turntable] with the US KOC keypad [which I never liked, but my JP keypad broke a while ago, and I certainly can't argue with the reliability of the newer design]).
That being said, I've been playing so damn long today (pretty much straight from 7PM to 12AM) that I was able to watch my scores take a dive as I grew more and more tired, haha. Case in point: normally I can comfortably AA Hellscaper -Last Escape Remix- [7H], but by the end of the night I was only able to score a B on it. I figured that was a good time to quit.
