Hey. I have a MadCatz pad. I'd like to mod it. What's the best way to mod it for under 20 bucks?
Also, EBGames now has some RedOctane pad. Is it worth however much it costs (I didn't see a price on it)?

My ignition pad just broke yesterday. Ive had it for about 6 months It lights up but the game wont respond to it. It wa working perfectly the day before but the next day i plugged it back in and i got nothing just lights. Is their anyhting i can do to fix this? .So anyways Im going to buy 2 new ones on ebay but i dont know if theres a difference between all the ignition pads? they have different designs on them. The one i had was the 8 arrow one with red, blue, green, and white. I really liked it and im thinking about getting it again but im not sure if anyone knows if one of the other designs are better. Im only going to buy the ones that they sell 2 for $29.99. Thanks

Has anyone tried to modify the official Xbox pad yet that comes with Ultramix? Does it improve the sensitivity? Also, what could I do to make the arrows more distinguishable from the rest of the pad? Thanks

Okay, I'm modding my pad but when I went to home depot they didn't know what the hell hardwood floor covering was. I saw something like it, but to avoid permantly screwing my pad by picking the wrong materials, could you guys give me a more detailed name or at least a brand.

there should be no need to Mod the xbox pad unless you play on carpet......i have harwood floors and the pad doenst slip at all and its pretty sensitive.

I like it actually.

Hey, I have a question:

How does the Konami pad that comes with the DDR games (specifically Ultramix) work? Is it a flat pad or does it come with the non slip binding that you have to put in the pad? Also, since I'm getting good but I'm still just intermediate, is there a lot of sliding without moderation on flat carpet. If there is, what other ways besides going to the hardware store and buying wood and stuff can I use. Can the chair mat idea be used on the flat Konami pad? If you can give me some answers, that'd be great...

well, i have a mod that can work on ALL of ya softpads (hey mobile im back!). I use it for my pc pad (dance master) and ps2 pad (intec). Any of them are yet to show signs of distress, or breaking. The only prob. with the intec is the X, O, TRIANGLE, and SQUARE work as arrows in the game and if i step of to the side it presses it and messes me up. I'm gonna get those damn sensors out soon. Here's a link to my softpad mod:

http://www.angelfire.com/film/njohnson/tt1softpadmod/index.htm

If your wandering how much it is used:
I play it, standard and maniac.
My older bro plays it, light and standard, he also stomps EXTREMELY loud on it, which is funny when he plays .
My lil bro plays it, light.
His friend plays it, light.

So if you see this mod is, durable, great, arcade experience like, and has a unique design. See my site for the unique park .

Question about the Red Octane Pad Cover: can you only get those online or can you simply buy them from an EB Games, since they sell Ignition 2.0s?

Also, what is an alternative to the pad cover? I don't need to mod the Konami Pad. Works find only on hard surfaces, but all I need is something to protect it during play.

Does anyone know if or when konami will be selling its official pad(one sold in bundle) seperately?
Also, at Best Buy i saw a third party x-box pad, mad catz i think. Is it any good? It was only $25 so i have my doubts.

I just recently got into the world of DDR. Right now, I am planning to buy one or two dance pads, DDRMAX2, and Konamix. I may end up getting MAX later. The question is what dance pads to get. I've looked at all the mods, and if possible would like to avoid them. I would be playing on carpet, and therefore worry about the wood popping off the carpet while I play. I also worry about the wood possibly breaking. I was thinking about a pad not exactly, but like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3059804826&category=21188[url]

I would like to know what exactly a DX pad is. Also, will this pad handle on the carpet, or is that an impossibility with soft pads. I really don't have the money for a metal pad, but would like to get a good soft pad with little or no modding involved. I hope to be able to stay under $70. Could someone please answer some of these questions, and give me some suggestions. Thank You soooo much in advance [/url]

Thanks for the info. However, I would like to know what makes a pad classified as "DX" If I were to get foam insert ignition like pads, would a mod be essential? Please address this and the other questions that I mentioned above. Thank you.
