Fixes for the Red Octane PC Control Box???

Dark Dexter

I recently purchased a Metal DDR pad from Red Octane. I am having a big problem. The PC Control box maps to Axis

. Is there any way to get it to stop doing this

? I have already spent alot of money on this and want to get this fixed. If anyone knows anything about this and any possible solutions please respond, your help will be greatly appricated.

I called RedOctane and they said they are going to work on it. They said that they are having some problems recently with it. And i dont want to resauder the PC box. Hopefully Redoctane can help. If anyone else finds a better solution please reply.

Problem solved, there is a button combo (SELECT+START+UP ARROW) that selmo found which fixes it.

I tied the START+SELECT+UP and it didnt work. Can you tell me what seting you had on Stepmania? I may have some dumb setting turned on.

Also what version of windows are you running. i am running XP. i have been trying to code my own driver and many other tech heavy things.

If this is really such a small thing, well, quite stupid of me...

Well please help me soon.

I'm using XP and StepMania CVS alpha 8

I just went into the properties for the controller, held Start and Select, then tapped the up arrow. As if by magic the arrows now map to the axis AND buttons. In StepMania they register as buttons as well (see below). Works every time for me.

Here are the screens from my input options and map key/joystick menus

Hope this helps
