RedOctane Ignition v3.0 (PS/Xbox/PC)

Yeah, I figured it must be the Xbox wiring that is bad. Funny, so many people have had trouble with the Control Box on their RO Afterburners as far as using the pad for the Xbox is concerned, and it looks like it's been a problem since the Ignition 2.0 (some of them at least. My first Iginition 2.0 worked flawlessly with my Xbox). I think I'm just going to cash in on that replacement plan I purchased and try my luck with a new pad. Hopefully it's a random problem with some units and not a case of a whole batch of them going out defective (again, Afterburner problems). If that fails, I might have to get an adapter. Haven't people had problems with lag when using those adaptars, though?

Why dont you get a home made pad. It could cost less the CF or AB. Though a lil time consuming

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I JUST REALLY REALIZED WHAT EVERYONE'S PROBLEM IS!

Dance Play Settings!

LISTEN UP EVERYONE:

If you have DDR Extreme USA for the PS2, there is an option missing in it: Dance Play Settings.

THIS CAN NOT BE FIXED. This causes the X, O, [], and ^ buttons to register as Down, Right, Left, and Up, respectively.

As if you were playing with a controller.

On ALL other PS2 versions, this can be fixed.

Including ITG.

This is where everyone's so called "ghost-steps" are coming from, okay?

If you are using DDR Extreme USA, you will continue to have this problem. FOREVER. It is NOT the pad, it is the damn game. Go ahead and use MAX, MAX2, any japanese version, or the real reason behind the 3.0, StepMania.

If you are STILL having problems on other non-DDR Extreme USA games, it IS the pad. Just take out the foam and shake out the pad.

Remember to treat your pad as if it was the most awesome thing ever.

And try not to have your half-brother spill beer on the pad at your July 4th party >_>;

Did it occur to you at all AceJay that the people posting in this thread are rather savy DDR players and know all about corner buttons and whatnot? The pads don't work well on ANY dancing game, period, regardless of whether the corner buttons are turned on or off OR if the game even offers the option. The performance is still the same: dead or extremely fickle arrows resulting in tons of pad misses and phantom steps. Might wanna think your next big idea through a little more before you post your own thread about it too.

hello everyone,

I purchased a Red Octane Ignition 3.0 on July 2nd 2005 (a little over a month ago) and got it with the warranty. I thought that this was great because if I have any problems within a year, I can keep getting a new one. The mat was great, but now its starting to be not responsive and randomly thinks buttons are pressed, and now I'm reading my receipt and it states:

"Accessory PRP" entitles purchaser to a one time replacement should product be determined defective one year from date of purchase. Reciept is required as proof of purchase for replacement of defective item.

Acording to the users of this forum, you can exchange the pad with the warranty as many times as you wish, do they not mark the receipt or something?

Just fork over ten bucks and get a new year warranty.

What I've been doing.

Yeah, its not the corner buttons. I have problems on Max2 and ITG with the buttons off and I still have problems.

Well, today I took it back and got myself an nice new 2.0 instead of the shitty 3.0. The girl at Best Buy said it could have something to do with the PS2. She said to bring it in here and the Geek Squad (

) could take a look at it.

Yeah... Right. They just want my money.

Alright so I have a question, I "accidently" left my 3.0's USB cord in the computer so it never went back when I took it back. So I figured that I could just remove my X-Box cord on the 2.0 and plug it in. Fits just fine, makes the noise like when something else is plugged in, but it doesn't work in Stepmania. I tried to re-map the buttons, but it doesn't work either. Any suggestions or drivers that I may have to install?

Im going to E-mail RO tonight to see if they have anything to suggest, but I doubt they'll help me out too much.

Okay, so of the three major pad-makers I konw (BNS, LevelSix, and RO) - I don't like BNS's pad (the surface is too slippery for me, LevelSix is perenially sold out, and RO is expensive.

I'm recovering from ankle surgery and want to buy a soft pad for rehabilitation (since going straight to a CF would be frick stupid and I don't trust RO Afterburners quite yet). I used to be an 8-foot Heavy player so I'd like to get up to that point before I make the switch to a hard pad.

Is the RO worth the extra $50 or should I just eBay a soft pad? Keep in mind my rehab will start me in Light mode and I'll probably spend 2-4 weeks on Light, 2-3 weeks on Standard, and then see how I progress in Heavy.

If you're truly worried about cost and don't need PC USB Compat, we sell Ignition 2's on EBay for a VERY good price from time to time. Check http://stores.ebay.com/Redoctane for listings.

Hi everyone. I recently bought a RO Ignition. I believe it was a version 1. The pad came with this small wire. I'm not sure what it is for (my pad did not come with instructions). Does anyone know what it is? Thanks for your help.
