Not in MAME, but one of the comments that I found was that someone used it to play Bushido Blade.  I really want to try that.

Mine arrived, since its for my daughter i downloaded stepmania to see if it worked. 

It did after button mapping.  played with it for 2 minutes before giving  up because it was stepmania.

I didn't see the problem everybody has been reporting with this, although that might be because i didn't dance myself stupid.  I just tapped the buttons.

I'm not going to do the upgrade hack of cutting board traces and rewiring. 
If this ends up needing an upgrade for the kiddo, i think a gamepad mod would work better.

I tried this too and it does work except that you
can't press up/down or left/right simultaneously
(well, you can, but the program records a "miss"
even if you get it right).

Haven't had a problem in "Pump" mode where you're
mostly working the diagonals and a "Center" square.
It seems to register double-hits fine there, but I think
that's b/c  the diagonals use buttons instead of the
hat switch.

I suppose you could turn your pad 45degrees for
"Dance" mode and use the diagonal buttons for
up/down and left/right.  But it's not perfectly
square and so your hit zones might be off a bit.

Still, easier than doing the hack and you can still
play your Kraft games that way.


rovingmind:

I don't play the ddr or the stepmania, just got it for the kiddo.  by the time she knows the difference it will probably be dead anyway or i'll do a joypad hack.

KenToad:

Thanks for posting your impressions of the product, guys.   :cheers:
