Kraft dance pad came today
KenToad:
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:
