RedOctane Ignition v3.0 (PS/Xbox/PC)

[SimeonSLeVeLUp]

I seem to be having the same problem with my mat. I got my V3.0 few days ago and after under three hours the down arrow is missing and all my riser pads have moved from under the arrows towards the center. I envy all of you that got to use your mat for more than 2 hours. Anyways, anyone know a way to move the risers from the center back to the arrows without voiding the warrenty?

So guys...I'm a bit pissed off at this pad now. I've decided tomorrow I'm going to gut it open and look at each sensor and find a way to make it so the arrow doesn't always keep contact with the sensor. Probobly cut out 1/4 inch thick of foam and in the middle of the foam have several multisized holes to let the sensor touch without it being always stuck on. Then super glue all the foams in. My pad arrows will probobly be a bit higher than usual but whatever. Should I just use duct tape to put back the sewing together?

Where the hell am I going to get 1/4th inch thick foam?


EDIT: Or lots and lots of ducktape...

EDIT^2: Or a thin blanket...

Hey; I'm new to the forums and this is my first post >.< first off; I just got my 2 RO ignitions yesterday from ebay {yeah I know.. that would mean they'd probably be used and suck eh? :S}. They don't work perfectly but they're responsive, don't ghost and don't stick etc. The problem is, when the right arrow is held down, the left arrow will not register and vice versa; this makes freeze steps and stuff absolutely impossible to get right.

Are there any mods or anything to fix this? It only happens with the right and left arrow together, not with any other combination. It occurs on both pads. I play on Stepmania and I've tested the pad with USB and PS2>USB adapters; same problems. :S

Thanks T.T

EDiT // Ermsh; they look very new, however in one of the pads I've noticed that the upper foam {whatever you call it.. ;_;} looks to be worn out but I can't get to it because that would mean I'd have to cut it up. Is it a good idea to cut it up and replace it?

EDiT // infact; also like the right and left arrow combination missing, when the up arrow is down, the botto marrow does not register and vice versa. It also seems like when I try to press two arrows at the same time, one will register a split second after the first :/

I was always told to never put my feet in the center of the pad after stepping on arrows, however it seems that I must to play on my ignitions and not get Es =.="

I only just started DDRing recently... and I'm approaching standard from playing on my imitation-konami mat which I decided to get an upgrade from.

Are you sure you got RO Ignitions? Ebay has a lot of generic clones.

Oh, no no, this is no good. My 2-3-year-old Ignition 2.0 has the wire that connects the pad and the PS2 frayed to the point of seeing the bronze and silver underneath, the up arrow sticks frequently, and there's a panel-size tear on the inside of the pad itself, between the foam (which is undamaged) and the inside wiring of the up arrow (go figure).

Basically, if the Ignition 3.0 sucks, what am I supposed to replace Ol' Faithful here with?

My ignition is dying. I got it last year in July. I didn't play much over the winter period, so it dosn't have many hours of usage. I'd say maybe only about less than 10 hours maybe. I believe I'm either going to get a metal pad, or BNS DX Xtreme Fusion. My ignition has a big rip in it.

Thats the foam that keeps the sensor and the circuits away from each other.

That's a close up.

That's the tear in the foam that keeps the sensor and the circuit to keep touching. With it like this. It registers as staying down and tells me why I always get random misses.

I cut out all the bad foam here because it's all ripped and worn and I threw it away.

There's a closeup on the underside.

I cut away all the corner buttons because thats where all the good foam is. I put the X, O, Triangle, and Square foams over the arrows and duct-taped them on. The right and left were torn in the corner so I put them on a place a barely hit. Now if you try to hit there it won't work. Another thing is I covered the the center, triangle, and square so now none of those work either. My X and O do work though. I cut up one of my mom's old undershirts and folded it a couple of times. I cut a small hole in it and places it right in the center. I duct-taped it down and over the rest of the sensor. They work but you have to press a little harder than you usually do.

I closed my pad up with duct-tape. Granted it doesn't look that nice, but it works.

^cool stuff, but the corner foam isn't going to last long either. eventually you might have to cut holes in new foam and stick them in, or just buy a new pad altogether.

Well until that fails up then I'm going to switch to a mod ITG softpad :]

[limekat]

Nice images ^^ i'll try that. But could you tell me how to cut the pad open? T_T"

[ManiacGuy]

I advise anyone not to buy that pad. Ours broke in a weak of playing on it. A few weeks ago I got a metal one. Don't waste hundreds of dollers on pads that say they are durable. It is not true.

Here is my broken RedOctane.



The triangle doesn't work, and the arrows press themselves down so you miss. And look how wrinkled it got!

Sorry the image is big, I should've resized it.
