Got my Ignition pad today! Woo!
I ordered an Ignition-style pad off harts unlimited dot com, and it came today. A day earlier than it was supposed to.
I'm going to mod it tomorrow with a piece of 1/2 or 1/4 inch board, haven't decided yet..and one of those carpet cover things for chairs. I can feel the cracks in the foam bend when I step on them. I don't like that. I'm getting way better scores, though, and it doesn't slide much.
Ultramix is in the mail on the way to my box now, which brings up another question. Anyone know of a good PS2->Xbox converter? I can't find any anywhere and ddrfreak.com didn't help much.

I was pretty sure that Red Octane ignition pads had the dual cable that allowed you to use it with both PS2 and X-Box. I don't know if Lik Sang might have anything to convert it but looking there and maybe looking on froogle or ebay would turn something up.

Only new RO Ignitions would have the dual hookup. Some places may have older stock without the dual connectors. Also, the new dual connector version can be incompatible with the PSX (though fine with a PS2) due to it drawing a little too much current. This will normally only happen if you hook two of them up though.
But yes, if he just bought an ebay special Ignition type thing, it's probably based on the same cheap topway board that RedOctane used to use.

If you are no longer connected to the internet, you need to apply more wax to your modem: it'll make it go faster.
If you find this funny, you're a nerd.
If neither of the above apply, you are normal. Congratulations.

Actually, officially, what is commonly referred to as the PSX (original Playstation) is not supposed to be referred to as such (it's just the "Playstation"). The PSOne, which is the small version of the original Playstation, is named PSOne for whatever reason.
The PSX according to sony is like the Playstation Extreme or something like that. Basically, it's a giant media center DVR type thing that also plays playstation (PS2?) games. To my knowledge, it was only ever sold for the Japan region, and pretty much flopped even there due to the extremely high cost.
I'm referring to the original Playstation when I say PSX, though the redesigned PSOne would be included in there also since it's basically the same thing but in a smaller cabinet with an external power brick.
Oh, and I happen to have a PSOne. It's also known as my Dance Dance Revolution Konamix Station.

That's what I think of whenever someone says PSX.MonMotha wrote:The PSX according to sony is like the Playstation Extreme or something like that.

To add to the conversation... I never had a PSOne, but I do still have an original playstation.

I have an original Playstation (crappy one at that..I've had it since about a week after they hit the shelves)
I got the Ignition-style pad from http://www.hartsunlimited.com, and it works great. I've had no problems with it yet, except for sliding. The sliding is due to my carpet, though..you could almost call it shag carpet.
Thanks for the link, too.
