Problems with MP Silver drum-random misses

AlphaConqerer · 08-21-2007, 11:13 PM

Yo all,
So I can't figure this out. I've had MP Silver for well over half a year. I have V, V2, Gold, and GF4DM3 for PS2 and none of them exhibit the same problem.
Basically when I first started playing MP Silver I wondered: Why am I doing so poorly at this? On V and GF4DM3 I seemed to be doing fairly well.
Over time, when MP Gold and V2 came and I got a SP level close to 1000 on those, I wondered again when going back to MP Silver how come I couldn't S a level 60 song...

I play on a CRT monitor with the same KOC controller I use for all the other CS Drummanias, timing adjust is at 0 but I have played around to see if it changes anything (it doesn't), I play 4.0x speed and dark on, combo right.

Is anyone else noticing an issue with random misses in MP Silver or is it just me? It's really frustrating and I am 100% certain these random misses only happen with this game, cuz I full combo lvls 60 and 70 on the other mixes without a hitch. I can't even full combo Robinson on friggin MP Silver.

Tempo of the song and how often I hit don't seem to matter. Even on a low BPM song like moonlight walkin it will register misses even when I am 100% certain I am on beat.

Any suggestions? Comments? I've held this issue in for a long time but it just keeps frustrating me...

BTW, disk is clean with no scratches. Had it since it was new.

it frequently happens to me too
i have the feeling that the timing is different in MPS

It just doesn't feel like a timing issue to me; it feels like occasionally the controller will "lock up" and register a miss or something.

I've had similar issues with MPS as well. I use a DTXplorer kit as my set up which register pretty much perfectly on all the other mixes.

i have the problem with a Konami Drum Set the control will just not respond randomly during rolls usually
ill just notice my combo break, its totally random and i think it has to do with how the game takes the drum input (this only happens in MPS)

same for me

Yeah, I have the same problem. It's a bit of a shame really; MPS is a cool mix.

I had the same problems as well when I played MPS with the drum KOC.

It does that on drumkits as well?

Oh, whoa, I guess this explains why I score worse on MPS than on anything else. I spent at least a week playing MPS to unlock it after getting my drums (Too bullheaded to just download a save, wanted to keep my scores on the file), and I was sort of wondering why I seemed to suddenly get so much better after I changed games :x

damn there is no love for drums on MPS

the guitar works great as far as I can tell

Hate to bring up and old topic but I have noticed this too. Does anyone have a copy where they don't get random misses?

Opethian · 11-19-2007, 07:12 AM

i dont know anyone who could patch this outside of konami

Brings up an interesting point.

Wish Konami could patch up Drummania 1 and 2 with the UX-16 drivers.

Also wish 4-10 would get released for home but hey, one unrealistic request at a time.

I know how to fix the issue now. Plug in a regular PS2 controller into controller port 2 or into the multitap. Issues will be fixed. Found this out on the MPS site under faqs.
