Quick Start guide to setting up DTXMania

Connect your PC to your electronic drumset
1) You will need a MIDI to USB converter such as the Yamaha UX16.
2) Install the latest drivers for the converter (especially if you are running Windows Vista)
3) Plug the MIDI-In cable in your converter to the MIDI-Out hole in your drum module. Hook up the other end to the USB slot of your computer.

Connect your PC to a Guitarfreaks or Guitar Hero controller
1) You will need a converter depending on the type of controller. e.g. A PS2 GH controller will need a PS2 to USB converter.
2) Hook up your guitar to the converter, and check to see if it works under Control Panel > Game controllers.

Install DTXMania
1) Download DTXMania from the official site. Version 067b is the latest recommended stable version.
2) Download some simfiles and unzip them inside your DTXMania directory.
3) Load up DTXMania and see if your drums work.

Set your Drum and Guitar Key config in DTXMania
1) Most likely you will need to remap your drum and guitar keys first.

Does the midi to USB cable have to be the Yamaha UX16 or will any cable work?

Thanks

Yamaha UX16 or Roland UM1 works best. Some people have had lagging issues with cheap adaptors.

Yamaha UX16 is also the only adaptor which works with Drummania for Playstation 2.

why does it say COMDLG32.OCX or one of its components is missing when i open the gdacreator?need some help here.

Another question. when making a simfile, why do the song repeat itself again plus the one that i have been playing all along?meaning there are double sounds of different beat. how do you solve that?

Does it also work with GH:WT drums & rockband 1 drums from PS3?

Meow said...

Yes, but you will need a converter PS3 to USB converter which will let your computer detect your drums.
