Actually, you can just use a ps2 ---> xbox converter for your ps pad. Easy as that.
(If I was a mod, I'd click lock) |

Not all of us own Playstations. But still, the convortor to pad may not work. The convortor might think it's a controller. And freeze arrows may not work....
course i could be wrong  |

I heard the biggest issue with the Converter will be that It won't recognize as a PAD for online rankings and stuff.
I would imagine that if you have a Metal Pad like the Cobalt Flux or Red Octane, they will probably sell a new Control box for the Xbox that you will be able to buy. |

| That is my biggest concern, the online ranking. The last thing I want to see is the #1 player getting 100% on Maxx 300 Oni or something. Even though rumors are flying Oni isn't in there...[/quote] |

That would be a concern even if you built your own metal pad for Xbox, because the USB identification string would be that of the controller. A control box, on the other hand, could send a dancepad string.

Rumors? What rumors? OoC said himself that it's not in the game. It's as official as it gets. Look on the first page of the Ultramix thread.
Additionally, if you read the entire thread, you'll note that there are measures being taken to segregate PS controllers from PS pads when used with a converter box, and so it shouldn't actually be a problem to use a PS metal pad.

Well, they are releasing official softpads, so you could always tear those suckers apart and use them.

Vance was mentioning that at the CF forums, I guess no one can really make a new Cbox without having the full game to test it on though, which means I might be alittle late to just onto the Ultramix online rankings.

So, if you use the convortor for the Playstation Metal pads we all invested $200 into, there won't be a way to you the Xbox Microphone on Xbox Live, Xbox's online gaming service...
I wouldn't wanna use the mic on live though, too busy moving. |

| For the people wondering about XBox and such what about just using the metal dance pad you made for your PC if it uses USB? After all Lik-Sang has a USB to XBox USB convertor and I suppose it might work right. |

Actually, the Magic Box converter on Lik-Sang has a memory slot that you can plug your mic into. It even says that it is Xbox Live compatible in the Product FAQ's. I don't know what you would do about the cord extension, however...are there any third party companies selling them separately? |
