Yes, I bought an RS adapter . . .

Ok, I just bought an Red Octane Ignition dance pad for use with Stepmania, and, not knowing any better, purchased a RadioShack PS to USB adapter to connect it to my computer. The problem, as I'm sure everyone but me already knew, is that this adapter maps the step pads to a joystick axis, meaning that opposite directions cannot be pressed at the same time. A search on google suggested that some people have gotten around this problem by using third-party drivers or software that allows the mapping of any gamepad to be customized completely. Is this true? Thanks for your help.

1. adapter sticky

2. not likely. there was a time when people said joy2key works to fix radio shack adapters, but I personally have never gotten one to work with it. instead of trying to get a drivers that are all hax0red, just suck it up and return the radio shack one if you can, and buy one that is well known to work.

don't bother with the RS adapter. Joy2Key doesn't work, and no third-party drivers will. its a hardware issue. Also, its a waste of time to try, because even if you do. The plug has very slight Lag problems, which makes stepmania hard even if you map the pad to Tri,Cir,Squ,X...
