Alright... I don't know if this has been posted somewhere else. If it has, please direct me to that post. It's just that I am very interested in purchasing Drum Mania for my Japanese PS2. I've looked at the Konami and 3rd Party Drum controllers and I just don't like it how it's like a sheet of paper that's suppose to sit on your lap. There's no dementions to it! I want the Real Arcade experience. With the snares in at different heights and such. laugh.gif Anyway, I noticed that a lot of people are suggesting the Yamaha DTXPress Drum Set. On ebay they're going for around $500.00 with isn't bad considering how much an official DrumMania would cost. Well, I'm just curious how would I set it up to my PS2? I doubt it comes with a PS2 controller adapter. Do I just hook it up like I would a digital camera to it? How would my PS2 read it? I have absolutely no idea how it works since I know no one that owns these items. Thanks in advance!

Oh, if anyone has any other info that they think I should know about this product please post! Thank you!

It only works with Gitadora 4/3. You plug in a MIDI to USB converter to the PS2 and select "USB Drumset" in the options. Then you're set.

Alrighty cool! That's not so bad then. The Gitadora is the mix that I've been playing the most at this Arcade that's about 60 miles away and costs $1 per play. Get's pretty expensive. I along with some friends have spent about $150+ already so it's not so bad when I look in the long run.

So nothing but the Gitadora will work? Drag but oh well... anyone know why that is? The USB port thingy just isn't a feature? Are there going to be any future GF/DM PS2 games that are going to be availible later?

Pardon me, shamp, but I'd just like to say that you have the greatest avatar to ever grace these boards.

That is all.
