Cobalt Flux Users - NEED HELP!!!

I'm trying to hook my cobalt flux pads up to my computer via USB converters so I can play stepmania with them. I have two different converters, one of them has two PS/PS2 controller slots and I have two of the other and they each have one PS/PS2 slot. Neither of them are working. If anyone can give me any suggestions, advice or general help with this it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Aku

test them again, but this time, hold Start-Select-up for three seconds. I think that is the key to make most converters compatible.

When do you push Start-Select-Up for three seconds??

At any time after you've powered up your system.

ok, I got them working, but they do this weird thing where if you hold your foot on an arrow its like your pressing it rapidly or something, it's almost like the converter has a short in it, but I've been using the converter w/ my ignition pads and they work fine.

The CF control box is known to be ... picky ... about USB converters. That's a nice way of saying the majority of them don't seem to work well with the CF's control box.

A search for "ps2 usb converter" over at the CF forums will turn up a whole lotta messages.

If you have 2 plugged in than use 1 I noticed that using 2 on my computer lagged the steps and did weird *** stuff. Such as my down arrow wouldn't work and all of a sudden after the 10th step it would go, than my arrow would just hit. I plugged in only 1 and it was near perfection. Exactly same as arcade timing.

I got one of those 2 player plug-ins but unfortunately only soft pads. I'll let you know how my CF's do when they come in with this adapter.
