Hummm.... well, My control box is shot for the version 2 CG pad. I wrote to cyphergames and no reply, since they don't offer ones on their site for sale.

Does anyone know where I can get one or maybe have a spare???

The pad is useless and it's just not the same going back to my plastic pad.

If u take the rubber supporters off it doesnt do anything except make the steps not sink in as far.

DDRFreak: I did your mod on my pad, and it worked for about 15 mins excelent. The responsiveness was perfect. But then, I was playing a song and it totally stoped working, the lights still lit up, but the buttons wont register. When I unplug it and plug it back in it works for a little while again, and as soon as I start a song it goes out after just a few steps. What should I do?

Ps2freak and others:

Here's the pics that i promised of my pad from www.gameenhancer.net
I split them up into 2 pages cuz the pics are like 500kbs each (2 mega pixels, 1600*1200)

top view and underside of pad:

Let me know what you think, Is it a CG pad that's been modded?

Hi everyone. I bought a MyMyBox pad (Is it MyMyBox? I remember "MyMy" in the name..)

it's a metal pad, pretty standard looking. Umm.. after like a month of use, the left side had started to lift up, so when I jumped or hard/swift step onto the left side it would squeak and hit my floor (floor is tiling..)
Is this due to improper handling (i.e. when moving around, lifting it on a side, which would cause imbalance, which would , in the end cause the pad to bend) or maybe something is loose? (the bottom of the pad isn't even, anymore). Could I fix this?
Also, would putting carpet on the bottom of it (i.e. a rug maybe?) could help keep my pad safe for a while, so that it doesn't keep htiting the tiling, which would cause more damage?

Thanks a lot.
-GiZMO

EDIT:
The damages are I think bends in the frame.
and Err... maybe mine are generic.. they dont look like MyMyBox pads that i've seen in this thread.. I think it's http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3026514597&category=21185
Eh... I got it for $60 /w shipping anyway.

Looks like a modified MyMyBox to me, or a new improved mymybox.

Oh, and I fixed my pad that was shorting out. I had too much foil on the bottom side. I found some 1/8 foam at Lowes in the pluming section for 20, seems to be enough to do 30 arrows. It's self adhesive, and both sides are already covered in a thick metal foil. I tried using the whole side covered in foil, but it was shorting something so I had to cut it down to just in the middle. Works great now, thanks for the mod!

Oh, and does anyone know where you can get a full sized arrow graphic made?

I am interested in getting an official Konami metal pad. Never mind the price, I'm just wondering if they are still available anywhere.
Thanks.

Just got my Cypher Games v2 today. I was wondering if it would be alright if I played on it for a day or two, then got the lexan and modded it?

Should be fine, long as you don't do any knee drops or anything other than just regular playing. Took my arrows over a month to crack, and that was with sneakers.
