It's not a bad idea at all, but I got sick of it after so many concerts :( ....also, when I played it at the concert hall, max.difficulty, 3 songs , all perfect, and the guy says I've barely paid the place....wtf?

your performance has no effect on the money you make. as long as you do better than bad(second from the bottom) you will make "cover charge" * "# of fans before the concert"

Apologies for the double oost

P-o-M2 Money Cheat:
Click on the City map
Click on whatever the highest level venue you can play is.
Click "Play Concert"
Click "Let's Go"
Click "Forget It"
Click "Back to Map"
Click "Go Back"
Lather! Rinse! Repeat! You should get however much you would make for a good show every time but do the process quick enough that the narrator never gets to finish what they are saying(seems to help).

I am probably going to start doing this too. I can't even play normal songs anymore due to the lag. I miss half the notes on normal anymore. I can play half a song without lag if I restart my computer.

Well, at least the author is working on fixing it and has put notes to combat some of the lag in the file's description.

Here is a quicker way to get this 500 streak medal...
Just paste this song (it goes very fast, but it's simple):

I used this song on normal to get the 500 streak, it's nothing interesting but I found it easiest to play.

Do you have proof that Dad and me will get medals? I doubt it's true.

But I would like to be proven wrong.

Tank Search was supposed to get medals a long time ago, and it never did.

@ Punk-o-Matic 2: LOL at having to play the last covers on insane to learn them, that's flat out impossible and nobody will ever get it.

With the exception of the drum, insane mode simply means smashing the same buttons more often. Use your ears. It's not difficult at all. It's not as if you need to play them 100% correctly.

Well, I got half of the medals, but the other half is gonna be even grindier than the first...
And Insane (or however that difficulty is called) IS pretty impossible, even if you listen to the song more than actually looking at the notes....when you have tens of notes coming out from fucking everywhere, how are supposed to do it single-handedly? (c wut I did thar?)...

Change the keys and use two hands. If you're struggling, run through the song doing nothing but LOOKING at the notes and LISTENING to the song. The rhythms are all rather simple. Geez, it's really not hard.

Some guy posted earlier on this thread saying that he asked TomFulp if Dad n'me was getting medals and he said that Tom replied saying "Medals comming soon, but please be patient !"

I'm sorry but I'm afraid I must insist...
I distinctly remember one song where there were notes coming from four or more different directions at the same time, each column coming at a different speed and pattern...now, excuse me, but you got to have superhuman reflexes and finger speed to actually do that...unless of course, there's an easier way to do it that I'm not aware of...

Ya fuck that game.. I'm not too sure how I feel about it, granted I've only played it once so far I'm not sure I like the 6 button layout with 2 rows and 3 columns.. especially how it gets thrown off by having the actual visual aspect being in a circle. But oh well, maybe I'll play it again maybe not. It's ok, but I don't feel like playing a Guitar Hero-esque game all the way through on the hardest difficulties and whatnot to get all the medals.. That's like trying to get all the medals for Guitar Hero on like a 360.. which is a real game and long and hard as fuck, not to mention repetitive..

If it helps, the max number of simultaneous notes per "beat" is actually only 2. Everything else follows the rhythm of that instrument, which was why I suggested the "look and listen" approach. Perhaps you could try using a screen recorder and playing it back at 0.5x speed to learn it o.0

I dunno, at least you noticed that you're the only person finding this easy, yes?
Also, I don't have any screen recording software, and FRAPS won't record anything but games (real ones).

Windows XP users can set the PC Theme to Windows Classic. It will look like Windows 98: grey Taskbars and blue desktop image. Closing any other program also helps, like iTunes, AIM and MSN. This really helps with the lag, A LOT. I don't know if Windows Vista/7 have this option, but it really should help XP users.

For Vista, under the "personalize" options, you can turn all the visual gimmicks off. These are stuff like little animations when you close a folder. It might help somewhat.

With regards to punk-o-matic 2, (At least for me) when flash lags, the visual cues will desync a little and correct itself after the lag spike is over, but the game still recognizes "correct" keystrokes in accordance to the music. So just go with the music. This might help.

CCB was a fun and frustrating day of games. Ah, memories.

Also, if you download the newest medal game, does it really fix the lag issues? And does your data transfer, or do you have to start over?

Hey, is anybody else having problems with the hundred note streak medal in Punk-O-Matic 2? I've done it about 5 times now, and even the in-game achievements aren't logging it. Just to make sure I'm not being an idiot, a streak IS when you hit a certain amount of notes in a row... right?

A few people complained that it wasn't logging properly, although I haven't seen it myself. The medals registered for me the first time. I'd give it a few more tries. Maybe try Pop-Up mode or something. And yes, that is what a streak is. Make sure you're performing a show, and not just in practice or learning a cover.
