Re: Logitech Cordless Vantage Microphone: Release date??

CharlesB — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 22:20:53 GMT

We don't have a firm date when it will be available in stores, but I don't think it will be available for purchase before Christmas. I would expect it to be available not too long after though. Sorry!

Hi, im from Sri Lanka.

Could you please let me know the total weight and dimensions of the G25 package. I am planning to get one down from Australia and would like to know the weight details as someone is going to hand carry it for me.

Appreciate a quick reply.

Dear Charles,

Thanks for the reply. Hope someone comes up with a game supporting all the features. PS3 are way too expensive in Sri Lanka.

If the game developer programs in support, then yeah, there is no other technical limitation that I'm aware of. BUT, I'm personally not aware of any upcoming PS2 games with H-Gate shifter support

I also read today that YellowDog 6.1 was just released, and one of the big news is that it can use PS3's VideoRAM. The problem with the previous version is that it's a bit slow. But the new version should be much faster..

Hope this version supports the MediaBoard Pro without a driver... :-)

I have the exact problem listed in this thread. I tried your solution, but the controller still won't work, after working flawlessly for at least a year. Any other suggestions?

Logitech Cordless Vantage Microphone: Release date??

Kamikazei — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:05:24 GMT

I wasn't sure if this thread belonged here or in Microphones, but I'm hoping a moderator might be able to tell me if a firm release date has been set for December. I think it's a great idea and would make a cool gift for a RockBand-addicted friend of mine.

Any updates would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks for your reply.

Just need to clarify one more thing, assuming a new driving game is made for PS2, would this enable the usage of all the G25's capabilities?

Re: Cordless controller works then stops

reconnecting doesn't seem to be working. what happens is when i put the batteries in and hit any button it will blink one time each second for aprox. 43 sec which is about 43 sec. then it turns off and i have to take out and put the batteries back in to do it all over again. reconnecting it didn't do anything. its wierd that it will work for a short period of time then cut out. any other ideas?

Re: Cordless controller works then stops

CharlesB — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 18:48:30 GMT

To reconnect a controller:

Press the button on the receiver (The weird horseshoe crab shaped thingie) then press any face button (a,b,x,y) on the controller

You can also perform a receiver reset by holding down the connect button for 10 seconds, then pressing a face button on the controller

I've tried 3 different sets that were all good. so i know thats not the problem is there anything else that I could try, like exactly what is the procedure on "connecting" the logitech controller to the plug in at the box?

Re: Cordless controller works then stops

CharlesB — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 03:57:41 GMT

The batteries might be new, but that doesn't remove the chance the batteries might be defective. I'd try a different and fresh pair of batteries.

Mustang4 — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 23:37:27 GMT

I have a cordless logitech controller for my xbox and what it is doing now is, it will be usable for about a minute (the red led is blinking the entire time) and then the controller will just die and be unusable until I take out the batteries and then it will do it again. the batteries are new so it's not that. any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks,

Dan

When I try to enter the command "hidd --server -n" I got a error message 'Access Denied' or something...

And when I type "hidd --search" It founds the the device, but still get 'Access denied" I use Yellow Dog 6.0 and have taken all the updates...

GT4 was created before the G25 was announced, so there was no way they could have incorporated support for this product. GT5 will support full H-gate functionality.

Re: Will the Logitech G25 wheel work with PS2?

Fas — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 08:31:16 GMT

Guys,

Wouldnt even GT4 have the gated shifting? are there absolutely no games that would support the clutch or atleast gated shifting in a PS2? Because thats the main idea behind me about to spend such a high amount to get the G25.

Appreciate your advice on this

Re: Problem with Vantage USB Microphone for Xbox 360

ph0nage — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 17:01:20 GMT

it is correct that you need to have another control plugged in.

I believe the reasoning for this is that it would be difficult for the user to navigate through the rock band menus (buy stuff.... choose difficulty) without one.

I felt the same way you do now, a little while ago, but am now ok with it. and.... I plug this thing into my usb port on my pc to record my REAL guitar playing and this thing works pretty well.... not up to standards of a $100+ microphone, but it certainly does the job!

Re: Problem with Vantage USB Microphone for Xbox 360

Oddish — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:56:30 GMT

What do you mean, a separate controller plugged in? I've only got wireless controllers, so should I have one of my regular gamepad controllers active when I want to use the mic? That's a real waste of batteries.

If this is true, it's going straight back to the shop. False advertising in my opinion.

"HERE'S A FANTASTIC LOGITECH USB MICROPHONE FOR XBOX 360 (but it doesn't really work normally and you'll have to jump through hoops to use it, not to mention waste a lot of batteries even though the microphone is wired)".

Please tell me this isn't true.

The guitar is made in a 3/4th size scale to a standard guitar. The neck is solid wood, and the body is made out of a reinforced wood product to make the controller more durable.

10) Are the buttons/Strum Bar really that quiet?
Logitech has developed an entirely new way to strum bar activity, and this allows for a quieter performance, but still has the tactile feedback you've become used to. The buttons are also quieted through using a button design that is different from the standard guitar controllers

11) How long is the warranty?
The Wireless Guitar Controller will have a 1 year warranty.

12) Are the black plastic pickups functional?
The "double humbucker" style pickups serve as your Star Power button. For advanced players this allows the activation of star power without having to tilt the guitar.

13) Will these work with Rock Band 1/2 or Guitar Revolution?
This guitar was designed to function exclusively with the Guitar Hero series for Playstation. If a game developer includes support in their own 3rd party game for our controllers, then you may use it with that game. At this time we do not have any official information of support for this controller beyond the Guitar Hero series.
