All adaptor questions go here!

did you go into the control panel and look to see if your computer is receiving any input from the pad? that's what I was saying needed to be checked. if it isn't receiving any input from your pad, ps2 controller, or otherwise, you need to install the drivers that came with it. if that doesn't work, get the latest version of direct x. if that doesn't work, your adapter is "dead" in the sense that it is only transmiting power, not data.

i tried installing the drivers, but every time i tried to add a game pad that was reasonably close to a pad, it would give me some wierd error like "Game *something* or Game *something* inupt cannot find the specified divice. check your divice manager for trouble shooting help.

i did that. i wasn't trying to create my OWN setup, i had a list of things. choose a "6 button game pad", and it gave me that error. i tried several things from the list, and nothing worked. i even re-installed the drivers. i guess it might just be a dead adapter afterall... and i'm going to hawaii tomorrow (monday) so i can't send it back, either. dangit. RedOctane has a 30 day return policy, right?

you know what i just thought of? that kid on the banner in your sig looks kinda like me from behind at age 10 or so... wierd... (if that made sense)

hmm... i'll try that. i uninstalled the drivers, and that made absolutely no difference than with the drivers, but i'll try re-installing them and looking for that. i didn't really know what i was looking for, so don't hurt me.

11 year old brother, eh? kinda scray how much we look alike from behind. i'll see if i can find a reference photo and you can make the comparison yourself.

if you want it, that is.

I have a EMS USB2 version 2 (grey box, blue controller ports) and it works perfectly with my Cobalt Flux. No lag or timing issues at all.

alrighty, and what about your usb ports? are they USB 2.0? I now am thinking that people who have been complaining about lag just have slow USB ports...

I have a CF V1 and a BOOM converter from Lik-Sang (interestingly it seems to be listed as a non-working adapter in the sticky), and I have never had any delay problems at all. I'm using USB 1.1.

I don't know how different the connections are for the V1 and V2 (I know the V2 just has more inputs), but I doubt that it would make a difference since I actually have a V2 control box with a V1 adapter (had to replace it cause I screwed up the wires on my old one, and the V1 had gone out of production by that time).

It is, in fact, the PS Joy Converter...it was the first on the adapter list, at least back in the day, and works now. The thing is, I never had lag issues when I had my V1 control box, nor did I ever have problems with the computer recognizing the CBox. Whatever, my setup works, so you should look into it nekura.

I'm too lazy to see if anyone's already mentioned this or to find out if anyone cares, but it appears Stepmania updated the section of their web-site pertaining to adapters. I'm also too lazy to list here the changes...go find out for yourself
