Can't get dancepad to read

[elomax]

-- In either Stepmania or DWI.
Running WindowsXP Pro SP2, DirectX 9.0. Using the Mayflash Super Dual Box PS2-USB converter. I did the "start+up+select" code for the Super Dual Box and downloaded and installed the driver.

In Control Panel/Game Controllers, the Super Dual Box is there, all the buttons read. In DWI, Options, all the buttons are set.

But as soon as either program begins, there is no device present.
I even downloaded the free demo of DDR. It won't work there either.

Somebody please help! This is very frustrating!

RE: Can

You didnt specify what dancepad you are using.

Sorry . . . it's just a basic Playstation pad, like:

Any thoughts?

Well, I don't know what to tell you. I'm using the same converter you are, I think, and it works just fine for me. Did you configure the pad? You have to set SM up to recognize the pad as being the active controller first. I think it's something like Options > Config Keys. From there, just set it up...

it's working!

Uninstalled, reinstalled . . . it's possible that the dance pad has to be hooked up during installation. This is FUN!
Thanks for your input!

RE: it

Does the converter have 2 ports to plug in the dance pad? I have one that has 2 and I was having the problem you were having. Come to find out I configured the pad to controller 1 but it was in controller 2. Could that be it?
