Talk:Cobalt Flux Pad

Dubious information

I don't think a 64-controller gaming system is the "largest gaming system in the world". I would assume it's possible to link more controllers "together" using XBox live or even a LAN of computers if we are measuring size by number of people entering input to the game. Criteria for this should be clarified and references cited --38.97.88.20 (talk) 14:24, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Article Tone

Is it just me, or is this very advert sounding / press release-y. Do we need this article?69.163.20.19 23:45, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

The tone of it seems pretty neutral to me.

I think the article just needs to focus less on the products themselves and more on the company (and peripherally, what the products are and how the products are used) -- this is an article about Cobalt Flux, the company. --38.97.88.20 (talk) 14:30, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Warranty

I don't have the information (or a source), but I'm pretty sure they used to offer a much better warranty. --Johnruble 15:41, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, they used to have a massive warranty, they might still have one but their forums have been off-line for a while now and I don't really feel like walking over there and asking them why. BlackVegetable 23:26, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Pump It Up contradiction

"However, official Pump It Up compatibility requires a separate control box, and the corner square panels are smaller than their rectangular equivalents in Pump It Up.", yet it's also said that "There is also a special Pump It Up version of the control box that enables the center sensor and properly maps all buttons in order to play Pump It Up without issue."

Can someone verify whether or not the dance platform can be used with PIU? --38.97.88.20 (talk) 15:28, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

It works, but the PIU PS2 game doesn't map the panels on the pad to the game correctly with the default control box and has no option in the game to change the mapping. You need to get a separate control box to make them map correctly. It works fine on the PC over USB (provided you have the correct USB drivers installed for it to work on the PC at all and/or are using a PS2 controller->USB adapter) without a different control box. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.242.126.138 (talk) 14:51, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

How is this a contradiction? They both say "There is a control box just for PIU" and "The special PIU control box is needed for PIU to work correctly". The only difference is that the first statement also says "The button layout on a CF is different that the Official PIU layout". Arkanoid0 (talk) 03:29, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

By default, the PlayStation 2 version of Pump It Up Exceed uses X for the Center and L1, R1, L2, R2 for the diagonals. However, the corners of the dance pad correspond to X, O, Square, and Triangle. The Pump It Up compatible control box allows the center and the corners to work properly with Pump It Up provided that both control box buttons are held down when booting up the disc up to when the title screen appears. (Otherwise, it defaults to 4-panel Dance Dance Revolution and other four arrow games mode.) 2601:483:200:ED21:A430:7101:382B:D20F (talk) 07:39, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

Does this company still exist?

Does anyone have documentation on the current status of this company? Their web site is no longer active. 70.178.3.230 (talk) 10:26, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

The site has been inactive a while. Also, http://www.bemanistyle.com/index.php/news/cobalt-flux-closes-business-2297 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.252.249.17 (talk) 08:40, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Updating this article

Cobalt Flux has been dead for a few months now. The Bemanistyle link on this page used to link to an article about its closure, but BMS had problems and had to trash everything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hooky-i-vanisher (talk • contribs) 08:53, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Relaunch

The company relaunched and is making replacement parts for their old pads and plans on producing new pads. I’m busy at the moment, but if no one else updates it in the near future, I’ll try to bring this up to date. J0lt C0la (talk) 17:01, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
