I got some "HVG2" adapter at Fry'ws and it remaps the d-pad to buttons, the only thing not buttons are the analog. I did it two player, a Gamestop softpad as well as a 12v wired mod pad (modded ddr dance drum into a 1.5 inch pad).

I just got my xfps360 in the mail, and it works great with my red octane afterburner and DDR Universe.

The one thing about using the xfps360 is that you do need a WIRED controller to get it to work. It uses some sort of pass-through so that the controller sends out the initial signal through the xfps to the 360 and gets the controller player # which is then taken up by the xfps. So you can just use your wired soft pad that came with universe for that.

After that, it's all good.

OK, so I bought a 360 months ago and I have wanted to play the DDR UM mixes on it. I was not sure if:

A) the games were compatible with the 360
B) is it possible to use the Innex or Gemini PS2->Xbox converter on my CF to play these games?

ASiD Controller Adapter For PS3
Allows you to play PS2 games using a ps2 Controller on your PS3.

Ive tried it on fighting games, Ive tried it in Grand Theft auto San Andreas, and Ive Tried it on DDR, Wont work on Guitar Heroes, dont know about beatmania.

I dont claim to be an expert. But it works reasonably well, Ive tried it on a dance pad and the freeze arrows seems to work fine even though several websites say it doesnt so it may be the pad Im using. No rumble but i can live with it.... for know.

Since Nyko Has pulled there adapter they were planning on releasing off their website , Id get this adapter as soon as possible, you never know if Sony goes sue happy again(my opinion and not meant to offend, I apologize in Advance).

Any comments or quips would be appreciated, I would like to see if anybody has bought this and tried using it on Heavy or Oni.

Hey Bunny, what pad are you using? Also, have you tried using an analogue controller to start GH2 and then switching to the guitar controller once the game is loaded?

Anyone been able to find and try this:

Edit: Got one

It works really with DDR and ITG. Haven't tried it w/ Guitar Hero since a friend is borrowing both discs. I'll try beatmania US later. I want to use the Japanese IIXD mixes, but the system region locks out Japanese PS2 discs. If anyone has a solution please PM me.

Are there yet any known 100% working PS2-to-GCN adaptors? I ordered a "Cube Joybox Pro" from play-asia: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-g4-49-en-70-14p.html as it was cheap, and it says that it's a new version that supports dance pads, but has anyone tried it? This would be for use with DDR Mario Mix, of course.

Does anybody have any good ideas, or tutorials on making a PSX/PS2 controller to JAMMA adapter for this oddball System 573 project I am working on?

OK, so I'm a complete n00b at DDR. So much of a n00b that I've never actually even played a game. Sorry, but I'm too old and fat to be humiliating myself in public like that - I'm playing this on consoles only (OK, I'm not THAT old and fat, just too old and fat to be embarrassing myself in public playing DDR).

Which is where my question comes in of course. I've got all three current gen systems, the PS3, the Wii and the 360 (no, I'm not rich, lol, I got them all for free). Is it at all within the realm of possibility to get one pad that would be good to use with all three (obviously with adapters)? If so, which pad would be the best and what adapters would work? I'm assuming this would also play any backwards compatible Wii/Xbox/PS2 DDr games also? I'm looking for a decent pad, but I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars on metal pads or anything like that. A decent foam one will do, anything that is not slippery and will last a decent amount of time for a reasonable price (it doesn't have to be bargain basement of course - for most things I tend to buy the middle of the road ones. The cheap ones are exactly that - cheap and on expensive things I usually end up paying for stuff I'll never use).

If you're looking for a simple pad to work with all systems, just get a red octane ignition pad or something. It's padded and should last for a bit if you're staying away from heavy/expert mode.

As for adapters, you'll want PS2->[x] System adapters.

xfps360 to go PS2->360
Pelican PS3/PS2 Adapter for PS2->PS3
Wii(GC) Red Octane Universal Adapter PS2->GC (Wii DDR pads will use GC port).

I own the first two and can confirm they work, but I haven't tried the Adapter for the GC.

Hello,

Does anyone know of an adapter that would allow my xBox soft pad to work with the Wii?

Thanks!

quick FYI: The Red Octane Universal Adapter for PS2->GC controller does NOT work for DDR: HP. It acts like it's always holding down a scrolling button.

I got the game-elements adapter by Gemini that is mentioned at the begining of this thread and I cannot get it to work at all on the Wii with my Ignition 3.0 pad for Hottest Party. :/ Hate hate hate the pad that came with the game and it's makin' my feet hurt on my floor. Can someone link an adapter that is confirmed to work for RO pads on the Wii?

Yes, any help would be appreciated with finding an adapter for a Cobalt Flux that works with Mario Mix and Hottest Party. I too just bought the Game Elements adapter off eBay and it does not work, so save your money.

So pumped about playing MM and HP on CF, but can't find an adequate adapter...

With as many DDR fans here playing HP, I figured there'd be a solution here for sure.
