Kraft dance pad came today
Freeplay:
Can someone order me one...... and send it to Australia... I'll pay the freight of course

Pretty interesting, from what I understand the issue with these pads is that the hat switch cannot recognise up and down or right and left at the same time.
So the hack switches start and select with up and right or whatever and then you can get full range of motion. you just need to map the buttons in stepmania.
(just no down and start or left and select...pretty sure this is no big deal)
I can't wait for mine to arrive...I think my kids will love it. even if I just use the Kraft games...but the hack looks pretty easy and stepmania looks pretty cool.

If you do the hack, can you use it for other games besides Stepmania?
I'm wondering about Track and Field, Punch Out, etc... that'd kinda neat, have to run that fast for real in Track and Field.

Even if you didn't do the hack, you could use it for the games you mentioned as none of them require up+down or left+right at the same time. The hack makes it so up+down and left+right can be pressed at the same time for the DDR-type games.

Cool... one more thing, I know the instructions call it to work under XP, but can it work under Win98? My cab computer (currently down) is Win98, just wondering. Would it recognize it as a simple joystick?
