Where to find...DDR, pad Guitar Freaks controller, Lightguns
danp:
Has anybody installed these features to their MAME? I am wondering if there is anywhere to buy a DDR Dance pad (2 player), a guitar for something like Guitar Freaks, and lightguns for 2 players (I'm still researching the lightgun threads!). If anybody has used these things do you have any pics?

from what i have read, getting lightguns workign in mame can be a chore...especially when you want two of them. as for the other things, those are easy. if you look around the net, you can find USB dance mats, or you can always use ps2/xbox mats with controller adapters.
as for the guitars, there is a PC guitar hero controller. also, if you get a wired guitar for the xbox 360, it is USB also. i have also used PS2 guitars with a controller to usb adapter. i have not used them with any mame games, but i used them with frets on fire and they worked fine. they show up in windows as a joystick/gamepad, so they should be easy to get working in MAME.

severdhed, I have a couple of PS2 mats and was wondering how well those PS2 to USB adapters work? Does the mat just show up in windows as a gamepad or something?

Does anyone find the thought using a console dance "pad" with a stand up arcade cabinet...wrong on some level?
:dunno

What do you consider "right"? Spending $300 on a metal "arcade quality" dance pad?
