one of the screw parts fell into the pad and im a bit confused and a bit overly cautious about how to remove the metal sidings without damaging the pad too much. i'd like to be able to repair it and mod it so that it will perform better. I too have also had the bent sensor problem which returns after playing for a few songs.

I just wanted to inform that I finally encountered problems whit my TX4000. It has served me well for 10 months and now the right arrow started to ghost step when I stand in over the center panel.

By ripping the bottom open I realized that the problem was caused by bad wiring. The wires were worn out and when they made contact, it triggered the arrow. By rewirin the whole pad I was able to fix the pad.

From the sounds of it, these new TX series pads are pretty good. So anyway, I was looking around on Lik-sang and it turns out they've been sued or somthing, by Sony. So does anyone know any other sites that would have these pads in stock?

Thanks.

Since Lik-Sang seems to be stopping their business for a while, apart from them, could you tell me where I can get Metal Dance Platform Platinum TX4000?

First off DarkCore is a f4gg0t 15 year old who should get the f8ck of the forums.

Now a review of the TX-4000.

Some background: I'm a no bar arcade only player. SDG most songs on DDR. Can pass all the maxes on 1.5x. But I mainly play ITG2. This is my first time playing at home. I bought the pad off ebay for about 140. I think it's called the GXP or GPX 4000 there. I'm 6 feet, 210lb, powerlifter - e.g. large muscular build. I play mainly flat footed.

Day One: The pad seems to respond OK. It's definately not arcade perfect. Some concerns: 1) The pad moves around on jump heavy songs. It moved quite a bit on Mythology heavy. 2) You can't feel the arrows. This is a huge problem for me because I like to minimize feet movement. I play very close to the edges of the arrows and like to feel the screws / 4 corners of each pad. I can't do this on this pad. I feels mushy - it's not recessed. 3) There is no spring / rebound. This might apply to all pads. But it's annoying as hell. Notice ITG / DDR arcade has a spring under the pad. Clearly home pads don't. 4) Scores are not nearly as good as the arcade. like arcade -10-20%.

If you want arcade perfect - you should buy a frick arcade machine.

Update on the review: I have the control box that works with PS2, XBOX, PC USB. so far i've only tried PC USB on ITG2 PC. calibration and connection / detection was easy. no problems. i passed energizer hard -10. horrible score. bullshit many of the runs because it felt nothing like the arcade. 10 and higher songs usually require playing on the edges of the arrows. this is very difficult to do with this pad. mainly cause you don't really know where the edge is. you can't feel it. the pad didn't really move much at all on that song.
