Calibration - Same as RB3?

[Bront20]

Now that I think about it, because Blitz uses the standard controller (which there are many 3rd party models of), I can see why this didn't exactly work out. It definitely wouldn't work if someone were using something strange like a wired controller (actually I often play with my PS3 Dual Shock wired in simply to keep them charged).

FYI, I don't think it matters as far as the interface goes, I think it uses Bluetooth regardless.

To also be completely honest, I was disappointed in Nord during development for not going rogue and putting all of his lasers in there anyway.

I love that you assume that I have a collection of lasers.

I make no assumptions...

Are you sure? I know that if I disconnect the mini-USB wire from my Dual Shock 3 controller while it's plugged in and connected, it immediately disconnects and reconnects.

Also, you can plug in a totally un-charged controller and use it.

Granted, that could just be due to a different power circuit being enabled, but it seems silly to only use the power line on the mini-USB while it's connected when you could also be transmitting data (with less latency).

Also, while doing a bit of research when typing this reply, this article over on Eurogamer's Digital Foundry has some interesting things to say about controller latency; the standard Xbox 360 controller seems to be around 20ms, so there's definitely room for a wired controller to improve on that.

You can also use the controller when it's wired into something else, so I'm guessing it's the power system switching over. I know I charge my controller on my Wii, but mostly because the PS3 USB slots aren't always on. I'm only making an educated guess though.

I just purchased Rock Band Blitz and I can't get the calibration wizard to finish. It fails every time. How do you calibrate it manually? I have an Samsung LED HDTV. Also, my tv has a game mode setting, should this be on or off? I have never calibrated a game before so any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

game mode should always be on when playing games.
always calibrate after you turn that on. not before

[gamedaughter1]

Thanks for the info jibjqrkl but how do I calibrate the game?

[jibjqrkl]

go to options and then calibrate? dont really know that cause i never have to calibrate

[Bront20]

Yup, under options, calibration, then run the wizard, which requires you to interact with it (press X when you hear the sound the first time, press X when the meter hits an edge the second time. X on the PS3 at least). Not sure what you mean by "not finishing".
