Why are you on the Internet? Shouldn't you be outside in a kilt, frollicking?

- David Stein

it's not much fun to frolic in a downpour. unless you find me a gore-tex kilt... in which case I might consider it.

regardless, she has offered pictures of you playing the game making a fool of yourself. the power is all mine. MUHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA


will unmarked bills do?

The A-Team (not the show, the DDR group) ownz you! anyone see the video of these guys play? now they can dance like none other!

I tried downloading the .mpgs for the A-team but no luck. The links don't work.

Yeah, they do. as I posted this link

And if you are having trouble with files, just look for them online. p2p file sharing sites seem to be where I found most of mine some time back.
they do indeed = teh amazing.

Whoops sorry about that , I don't know what drugs I was on when I posted that, but I didn't see your post, thats what I get for skimming.

ZakVTA, search for a file "a-team-010.mpg" on Kazaa, thats where I found them.

I have Pump it up The OBG in my arcade.

I agree it quite addictive. I've played it a lot. I'm surprised how much I like the songs on it. ITs so funny watchihg people. These poor people who have no clue. I always help them figure it out. I had a bunh of people in today, and they played it for over on hour cha ching baby!

No problem.

Pad: Three options:

You can get any Playstation-compatible pad and a PSX-to-USB converter (positive: many PSX pads out there, lots of options; negative: many reports of "lag" with the pad, which in a game like DDR is critical!)

Or, you can get the Pump It Up pad (positive: works well with no lag; negatives: kind of expensive, and wrong size - way too big!)

Or, you can get the pad that comes with the upcoming PC version of Dance Dance Revolution (positive: should be ideal; negative: no clue when it's coming out or what it'll cost!)

I went with the Pump It Up pad and have been pretty happy, but it's a lot harder than playing with a PSX pad.

Emulator: Try ddrei.com for some info. There are several emulators out there; the one I really like is called Dance With Intensity.

Heh... I love that song (which is called either "Run" or "Run To You," by the way). Beethoven Virus and Com'Back are also really good... and I love getting down w/ any of the "popular" songs, especially Bye Bye Bye... throw the "fist knock" move in there when you do the moves, and you'll get a few laughs.

I picked up two pads & DDR Konamix for home, but I think I still like Pump It Up better.

Merged all the DDR threads together.

the bounce with me song is run to you by a korean group named DJ DOC. are there alot of korean songs in the american version of the game? i havent been home for over a yr and a half so i wouldnt know..

I'm looking into getting this game and I was wondering what people consider the best game pad to use. I've been reading about the different soft and metals ones and they range from $10 to almost $200. I don't want to spend too much but I want something thats quality. I've also read about some types of modifications people have tried like adding foam and taping the pads to a board. If anyone can help me out with their experiences I would greatly appreciate it.

Where can you buy the imports and where is a good place to pick up the pads?

I just got ddrmax2 bundle for christmas and I also bought a mad catz beat pad. Well I want to get good so I started to modify my pads. I first started to mod the konami pad that came in the bundle. I first taped it to a board and started to play only to find that because of excess plastic on the bottom and the way the pad was folded in the box there is a bump right along the bottom arrow that i can't seem to get to lay flat which is annoying because I can't slide my foot smoothly to the back arrowing causing misses. So then I decide I'll try the mad catz pad. Well after getting that one completely modifed (taped to a board and put plastic covering over it) I'm horrified to find the front arrow is sticking down. At first I thought it was the plastic floor covering but after removing that it still would be continually stuck down. So now I have to return that pad. Has anyone else had a similar problem with the mad catz pad. I want a second pad that will be functional but not cost alot and plus I heard once its modified the mad catz one is fine. Also does anyone have any ideas on how to get the creases out of the bottom. I thought maybe using a hair dryer but I don't know what that will do to the sensors?

Holy crap. Welcome to 17 months ago.

(No, not you, Ringo - I meant that I haven't seen this thread in a long, long time.)

Glad you experimented with the Konami pad for the XBOX before I did. I was going to attach it to a board as well. I am using it on a carpet which is bad I'm sure. I need to rig a good alternative without spending $200. I have read about many pad options. Is there a thread or site that lays out all the 3rd party and mod options laying out cost and performance.

Something that i did when i taped my soft pad to a board is undo the edge seam. Then pull each layer of the pad tight one at a time and tape them independently of one another on to the board. No bumps at all. Just make sure you line all of the layers up properly
