DDR Dance Pad?

Post by Warmachine »

Hey I remember someone once posted a guide for making the dance pad and I was wondering if anyone knows where it is because I cant find it. Also did anyone ever attempt this?

Lazy man's way:

Buy a PlayStation dancepad. Go on eBay and pick up a PS2 -> Dreamcast controller adapter for $5-$10.

Done. :-D

I've been thinking for a while about buying a used DC controller just to take it apart and make a pad out of it...but I've been so busy lately...

I've got one of those cheapy vinal DC dance pads. The thing is too small and it slips and the buttons get stuck. I'd recommend against them. But hey if you wanna buy mine make me an offer :)
