Okay, so a couple of days ago I ordered a PSX to PC adaptor, so that I can use my hard DDR pads with my laptop, and then through the TV. I ordered it from a UK site (adaptor priced £25 plus P&P), and it arrived this morning. I got to test it out at around lunchtime, only to find that it wasn't compatable with DWI (it maps the D-Pad to axes instead of buttons). I called them, arranged to return it, and looked for an adaptor which WILL work with DWI.
I finally found one on a US site, and was happy that they ship to the UK. I ordered it, and it's on it's way. All in all, it's cheaper getting it from the US! (Just over £20)

Buy? Feh! Build your own from everyday household objects! It might not...y'know, /work/ or anything, but you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you can build a converter out of little more than two toilet toll tubes and some sticky-backed plastic!

Your pound signs appear as question marks! Use the HTML code for the pound sign, &-pound-; without the hyphens to let it appear correctly :)

Or, just log into livejournal, and tell them you DON'T want to use UTF-8.

Moop?

Hmm, I shall have to look into this myself one of these days. Planning to do a bit of Home DDR myself. Strictly for the exercise, you understand?

From what I gather, you need a converter that can put the pad into analog mode (which also allows it to appear as four buttons (allowing two-foot moves) instead of two axes).

BTW, have you seen PyDDR? Python-based DDR. Open source, add your own tracks with ease :)

Hehe, nice to see a new home DDR convert. I'm doing it for the exercise too, actually.

You need a convertor which is digital, really, as most analogue ones only support axes. This is the adaptor I have ordered. You'll also need a pad, which you could probably get at HMV/Game.

I checked out Py-DDR when I was running Mandrake Linux, but I had problems getting it to work.
