Hmmm… Good point. I don’t know if DM2Midi will work on anything except 2000/XP.
I did find this on another forum, seems like it might work.
1.) UNINSTALL EVERYTHING.
2.) Right click setup file and select PROPERTIES
3.) Now select COMPATIBILITY
4.) Select RUN THIS PROGRAM FOR WINDOWS XP
5.) Select RUN IN 640 X 480 SCREEN SOLUTION
6.) Run AS ADMIN
7.) Apply
Now when you start the setup the screen is going to get REALLY LARGE
DONT worry about it. Its just a one time deal. Just install like normal.
Anyone tried it?
I don’t have vista anymore and i’ve only tried it with XP and OS X
yes you read correctly of this issue from other places that specify in dm2 mods, xp is the base thats suitable/functional, as far as vista and 7 ive heard it is incompatible i believe some people speculated of getting it to work on vista/7…
My spare EKS XP10 is looking rather scared in the corner there. It thinks I’m looking at it in a funny way.
archies i have tried that set of instructions you have posted a while back with no luck, i will try again tonight to see if i can get it to function. I will test on vista and 7 and let you guys know.
Here’s where I got the info, if you’re interested. I’m off to bed. It’s nearly midnight here now.
If your going for a complete mod I think you should get a diy midi or hid board and just build something new. However I also own a Dm2 and if your doing it for fun thats cool, or if you want to use that software. I remember the software had lots of options using your own wav’s.
I won’t be using the software that came with the DM2.
As stated before I use the DM2 with Traktor, and modding the DM2 would be significantly cheaper than building something totally from scratch, and require a lot less technical knowledge.
DM2Midi is an awesome, awesome piece of software. I wish someone would hack it so that ANY midi controller could use it…
Hey faeruithir, how is the progress of your dm2 mod? I am really keen on information bout this, as I am planning to catch a second dm2 for splitting it apart into 2 decks placed to left and right of my external mixer… with arcade buttons and the vinyl platters, this could be a very cool setup…
So please data data dat input -.-.-.- as I am not such an expert with an soldering iron, besides cable making…
I am actually in the process of doing just that. I will post some pictures ASAP.
awesome keep us updated!
Great news - looking forward to the pics!
