Dance Dance Revolution X - Day 1 of Pad Repair

[BenTennison16]

ddr X is a piece of shit. Extreme/Supernova or ITG machines are the best.

[oddysea682]

lol the pad without the mod reminds me of the DDR Extreme (bootleg)/original 3rd mix cabinet that really sucks. P1 side is under sensetive and the P2 up and right buttons kept glitching and then all of a sudden they dont work when i tried to play doubles.

@fbaddict111 no shit sherlock

[WTFseabass]

i always wondered if its possible to throw away those crap o pads and get some real japan ddr pads, the metal ones not the wooden ones...its just sad how konami satisfies the japan players but hey konami, we in america would like the same!!! e-amuse too!!!

[oMattCan2o]

so, what exactly did you do to the pad? A local arcade nearby has the same pad problem (as well as the lag), and if would be great if you can explain what you did.

btw, you wouldn't happen to know if there is some kind of patch for the lag problem? If you do, do you mind telling me where to get it from?

[qwertyuioas8]

played on 1 two days ago...it was absolutely horrific!!!

[WTFseabass]

Wow, i have the same problem, theirs 4 dedicabs in my area and hey all suck, i wanted them to keep their sn2 and just buy a upgrade kit but no they have to be up to date. I also have videos of those shitty pads.

[xXCloud20Xx]

OMG.....this IS terrible >_> exactly why I dont play DDR that much anymore...unless its Extreme or SN1

[yeehawmckickass]

Two questions:

How well is the mod holding up?

How many sensors were in each panel?

[syxx573]

i watch ddr videos on youtube

[qwertyuioas8]

wow. so do i.

[xxangelfyrexx]

Yeah, I just tried this game the other day and it was ridiculously bad. I'm used to SuperNova, and the pads on this one were just unplayable. I almost failed things I would usually get an A on. :<

[Jammno]

Does your machine have ridiculous input lag due to the HD screen? How could I go about fixing that?

[ITGZachATTACK]

think you could make a video showing how you modded these?

I've got 2 DDR X dedicabs in my area (both are just as bad as before you modded yours), and we're getting one at the arcade I work at...

[mariocampos0]

There is ! ?

[KyutoJohasu]

That's why not to get a dedicab.

Just upgrade.

I'd personally keep the SN2 cab.

[BaderFTW]

Unfortunately it's up to the owners of the arcade, not the people who actually play the game.

[KyutoJohasu]

That sucks. At the arcade we have, there's a list asking whether or not to get a new dedicab to replace the SN 2 one we have now.

[hookyboysb]

@KyutoJohasu You still can't upgrade legacy cabs today. You can't even upgrade X dedis to X2 (like you'd want to, X2 dedis are somewhat better, but it's better to wait for X3 to come out for X2.

[DEVILMANDDR]

Whoa so DDR X just arrived in US?I think we will never see that (luckily xD ) in Europe.

Are the dance pads same as DDR extreme?

[KanadianKyuubi]

no.

that's the problem

[adamaniax]

Did you get any pictures of the insides?

[Aznator06]

Nice job on the pads. HUGE improvement

[KanadianKyuubi]

Now magically fix the lag, and this will be PERFECT.

[KyutoJohasu]

There's no lag after a patch they released a few months ago.

[zootddrnl]

how do i get this patch

[KyutoJohasu]

It was a download. I think from the Devs.

[zootddrnl]

what is DEVS can you give me a link with more info ETC

[mandymoo2]

Jesus, what a beautiful machine betson has bestowed upon us.

[GoshaDole]

Thanks for the video! I just want to play Loving You! I hope the Gameworks around me gets a cabinet.

[maxninja09]

...you might have just saved the whole arcade machine by doing that, and i can DEFINITELY see the difference...

Nice job dude! =)

[Papersak]

That is awesome. :0

Teach us~ even though there's only like a couple machines out so far. ^^;

[Graded33]

That's awesome man. It's really upsetting that a brand new product has craptastic pad, but it's so good at the same time that you're still having fun/

[DDRfreak457]

i mean, congrats on doing what you did to it. but think about it. It's a brand new game with new easy songs and no one has gotten a AAA. Thats so awful

[BaderFTW]

Yeah okay, we understand that. There's nothing that we can really do about it at this point though. I'm just trying to get some enjoyment out of the game.

[DDRfreak457]

well props to you dude

[PYKSpeedyMix]

I guess I can't really understand the mindset that you're enjoying a game when it is still impossible to receive a fair and proper evaluation.

You're a AAA player and you have a AAA count in the 200s, yet you're enjoying an FC on an 8 footer? How does that not frustrate you?

I realize you like some of the charts and the songs, but how can you put up with it being so frustrating? Why continue to play it? Is it TRULY enjoyable? Are you THAT bored?

I guess I'll just take my negativity elsewhere.

[JSDKT42]

completely agree, i dont have 200 AAAs but i care enough about my scores that this would be unplayable for me

[travelsonic]

Maybe people.. just like to have fun at that point.

[n3vets]

Dude, excellent work, I can't wait to try it later today.

[Chandler613]

hahahaha

I can't believe the cardboard mod worked that well.
