Would this work fine for getting an Xbox pad to play stepmania? If so, is that all I would need, or would I need to get something else?

I have a super dual box advance (http://www.game-accessory.com/products/PC/PC026.htm) and a react dance pad (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7802933&type=product&id=1142293794986)

which tells me to hold up+start+select to get in to dance pad mode, but it doesnt seem to work no matter what I do... I've tried numerous amounts of drivers, but it still wont work

Hello everyone. I found these two Playstation>USB adapters on Amazon (and yes, I have to buy it on Amazon because I got a certificate for it) but I cannot find any info on them:

Super Dual Box *Advance* (no picture)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F6BGXY/sr=8-1/qid=1156479647/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-4292708-2471232?ie=UTF8

Dreamgear PC Dream Adapter
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AMAUYO/sr=1-3/qid=1156478429/ref=sr_1_3/002-4292708-2471232?ie=UTF8&s=videogames

Does anyone have either of these? If so, do they work well with dance pads? Thanks.

I just bought the bns adapter (http://www.buynshop.com/productinfo/45/VG-PS-USB2X1/) to use with stepmania and my bns foam insert pad

However, I cannot get the up+start+select code to work
each button works fine when its pressed byitself but two button combos wont register

I didnt receive a floppy or nething to dl the driver so I had to google one
Bns gave me a black triangular converter instead of the clear one they show on their site

Maybe Im setting it up wrong? I got the drivers, turned off automap in sm, and mapped the joy configs for left,right,up,down in sm
Do I need to calibrate it some how? The control panel -> joystick calibration didnt work for me

Any idea how I could get this to work? I've emailed them twice already but havent received a response

Thanks

I am receiving a Cobalt Flux soon and I am hoping to use it to play Ultramixes 1-4. Which PS2 to XBox adapters have worked for you (even if you don't use a Cobalt Flux)? Thanks.

I've heard about a "start, select, up" code to use for adaptors. When should you enter this code?

I have a Super Joy Box 13 that registers on my control panel but it doesn't work on SM. What do I need to do to make my pad register on SM?

I have this pad.

I have this adapter.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F6BGXY/sr=8-1/qid=1156479647/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-4292708-2471232?ie=UTF8

Here's the problem, I connect PS2 controller to port one, it works, I hook up the pad in port 2, nothing works, (neither port 1 or 2) I'm in the configuration screen/Calibration screen for the controller and I disconnect the pad and instantly port one works again, I try only connecting the pad to port 1 alone and still nothing works, what can I try to do? I just ordered the adapter through the Internet and if my last resort is to send it back, I would like it if someone can post up the best-of-the-best adapter, regardless of how much it costs.

Thanks for any help.

well this question is gonna have to be in both adapter threads. anyway, i bought this one off ebay and i'm no longer sure if it will serve its purpose or not. what i'm looking to do is connect my CF Pad (still on its way in the mail) to my PC. i know that'll probly work but i don't know if this particular adapter supports the D-Pad arrows as seperate buttons or an axis.

I just received my Super Joy Box 5 Pro (will post a picture later), and it seems to work. There's a bit of lag (hence my topic on this board), but that's nothing adjusting the timing windows on the songs doesn't fix. And frankly I think it might be the Cobalt Flux itself, since I have to step a bit early on the PS2 games with it as well.

I do have one strange problem with a couple of the ports "machine gunning" everything it registers, but it seems to have cut it out, so everything's cool. Of course, this is the first day I've had it, so I'llk keep you posted.

Can anyone tell me if either of these is the true Super Joy Box? I've bought way too many of these things on eBay that didn't work right, I want to make sure i'm getting the correct thing this time.

If it helps, I've got a homemade DDR pad that uses a mad catz controller. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

They're both the correct one, Gekko.

I have a problem with the Groove 2.4 theme mapping pad keys in the Stepmania CVS 3.95

so...I messed a bit with the ini file, trying to MANUALLY map these stupid keys...they remain unmapped...and Groove 2.4 in it's INFINITE wisdom, doesn't give you a nice little keymapping menu. Any idea on how I can fix this?

(NOTE:Tried using Joy1_*whatever* for each key as it corresponded in control panel...it failed. So, any help?)

It's a BNSUSA Fusion Arcade pad, metal, and the COMPUTER sees it, just not Stepmania.
