Help needed with DWI and Stepmania

jasonisjericho · Basic Member Joined: 10 Jan 2005

My first problem is with Stepmania (all versions)...every time I try to play the game, colors starts flashing across the screen, and the entire screen turns into a big jumble of colors, rendering the program (and Windows) either extremely difficult to use, or virtually unusable until I reset. The problem usually starts right around the music selection screen.

The other problem is with DWI. When I go to the Joypad configuration screen, I can't get any stomps on my pad's arrows to register. the corner buttons, as well as Select and Start, work fine, but not the arrows. I'm assuming this is a problem with the program since the arrows register fine in StepMania.

Any help is appreciated. TIA.

what version of Stepmania are you running, and how bad is your computer?

I'm running RC2 (though I tried with RC1).

My comp's specs are as follows:

AMD Athlon XP 2600
1GB PC2700 DDRAM
80GB HD/200GB HD
Radeon 9600XT 256MB video card

Your specs are FAAAAAAAR superior to the stepmania minimum requirements.

Hmmm, do you have the newest version of Direct X?

As for the DWI/Pad thing, Stepmania is more user friendly in the sense of connecting the usb devices to have pad play.

Installed it, and it didn't help....but I think I already had the newest version of DX. Any other suggestions?

Also, re DWI...I just bought another pad (the one I'm using belongs to a friend). If one pad is having troubles with DWI on my comp, will another one stand a chance of working (with a new adapter)?
