ddr for the pc

masterphred · 01-5-2004, 04:47 PM

the pad works, but it isn't picking up well. I plugged it into my friend's ps2 tho and it worked perfectly, even better than perfect. Anyone know how to make it more sensitive or if theres anything u need to do to make it work w/ the usb adapter?

bballplaya · 01-5-2004, 04:50 PM

no idea sorry

EdgeoO · 01-14-2004, 09:46 PM

You're comp is prolly too slow. Also USB normlaly has a .3 second delay which is rather gay. If oyu ahve a USB mouse just move it fast and see its reaction time.

Also where did you get the adapter?

altairian · 01-16-2004, 06:11 PM

USB has a .3 second delay? ummm no?
USB is like the fastest port on your computer unless you have firewire

masterphred, the problem is likely the adapter that you're using. I believe that www.stepmania.com has a listing of recommended adapters for this sort of thing.

i dont know my pad for my comp certainly has a delay...everytime i hit a prefect it registers as great...and greats as goods, and so on

altairian · 01-16-2004, 06:44 PM

That's gotta be the adapter not the port. Trust me, USB is very fast.
.3 seconds is a freaking eternity to a computer.

makaveli121212 · 01-16-2004, 06:45 PM

i know it is...how could it be the adpater, and how can i make it faster without buying another one

altairian · 01-16-2004, 06:49 PM

umm, I really don't know. I haven't done much research in to ps2-usb adapters yet. You should probably ask on the stepmania forums since I'm sure there's lots of people there that know about them.

ttsupra97 · 01-17-2004, 12:28 AM

why dont yall just get it for ps2? why would u buy a pad for ur comp

altairian · 01-17-2004, 01:41 AM

......because then you have like 1000 more songs to choose from that aren't on DDR at all?

tamar111 · 01-24-2004, 09:42 AM

I am playing with EMS USB Adapter and it works great.

What is your adapter type?
Did you install drivers ot it worked without it?

And most important, does your pad include lights leds?

makaveli121212 · 01-24-2004, 10:07 AM

no light leds and my adapter is called an X-series and yes i installed the drivers...i got it with my pad so i dont know if its any good or not...where did you get your adapter

ttsupra97 · 01-24-2004, 10:45 PM

hey makaveli, i finally beat max 300

but barely.. i completely raped the bar.

makaveli121212 · 01-25-2004, 06:46 PM

I got my adapter from Lik-Sang, it is EMS2 (usb adapter)
and it works great.

I had to cut the lights led, because the pad didn't response fast enough,
but after disabling the lights the problem was solved.

I couldn't find your adapter in StepMania web site, try this link and check out if you recognize any of the converters there

**lightdarkness** · 01-26-2004, 10:12 AM

the actuall time for the controller to send the signal to the computer is MUCH LESS then .3 seconds, however, maybe your converter adds sometime to that, and maybe sm cant interpret that converter as well.. i have a psjoy or something and ive AAA'd songs
the USB Port doesnt have a .3 second delay, maybe .0000000000000003

buzzsaw · 03-15-2004, 09:43 PM

what if you got a Super dual box adapter that has the slight delay? and how do you cut the LED? (light emiter diode)

plasmix · 03-15-2004, 10:00 PM

I use the parallel port. Fear me.
