FFR with a DDR pad

heyitsmee · 08-19-2008, 10:24 AM

Is it possible?
i dont have one but i would imagine you could use some kind of keymapping
i post on this little ddr community and it would be good news if i had something to show
like a little way for them to play the easy files on ffr with the ddr pad

so if its possible explain then i could make some little tutorial

It's possible, I'd think. Just hook up your dance pad with an adapter like you would for SM, and map the keys to the arrow keys, and I'd think it would work, but I'm not completely sure.
Lawl, Death Piano on pad.

I will try in 9 more days.

EDIT: Works fine.

It doesnt work with my pad

fido123 · 08-19-2008, 10:35 AM

Pretty much you're going to need a Key Mapping device like you said and have whatever the computer registers your pad steps for as what your current keys are mapped for on FFR. I'll try doing this later today if I can figure out what keys the computer registers my DDR pads.

wait

http://www.latent.demon.co.uk/ffr_keymap.html

I'm reading this keymap supports dance mats
can someone with a mat verify that

"Supports most keys, joypads, dance mats etc"

**SnS** · 08-19-2008, 10:55 AM

Hm. I should try it. It'll give me an excuse to try and AAA easy songs.

heyitsmee · 08-19-2008, 10:55 AM

i think that keymap wont work since that version update were ffr got its own keymap if i remember correctly..

anyone just tried the ffr keymap itself? does it recognize mats ?

**Beethovens mask** · 08-19-2008, 11:22 AM

I'm sure it does. Just have it to where the pad replicates the signal the arrow keys produce.

Good luck passing eclipse on a dance mat. :P

**Tasselfoot** · 08-19-2008, 11:45 AM

many many many people have done this before... would have assumed it was common knowledge.

either way, yes... you can play FFR with a dance pat. the issue is boos. since DDR doesn't have boos, it's hard not to get them in FFR when using a pad. also, the levels are way harder, as they aren't geared for feet play.

you can use AHK or the MRichards keymapper for it. along with a USB mat.

Where can I get one of these "pat's"?

Tired_Old_Man · 08-19-2008, 11:47 AM

the usb pads i use for stepmania work with ffr. I tried it a couple days ago and it's impossible because of the boos, unless you can play with one foot

*-Also my pad configured without an ffr keymap

spinal_compression · 08-19-2008, 11:55 AM

Well here's how I did it.

I used AHK.

I opened up SM and went into the key config and found out what arrow on the pad was what to my PC.

Then in my AHK script assigned the arrows to JoyX.

I ran that script then played on my pad.

Boos are a huge problem though.

heyitsmee · 08-19-2008, 11:58 AM

hmm boos didnt think of that.
well thats gone then

ill wait for the 3rd style booless mat friendly version

all the (5-10) 12 year olds on iddr.co.il will be very disappointed (not really they are too busy playing crappy SM files)

**Netjet!** · 08-19-2008, 12:15 PM

You should try the rockband drums haha. I haven't yet, but apparently its really fun.

**hi19hi19** · 08-19-2008, 12:18 PM

Rockband drums would be great! I bet you could even do pretty well with them. Songs like Club would be cake on drums, but are hard on fingers. Interesting.

**Netjet!** · 08-19-2008, 12:20 PM

yeah but stream and rolls... can't do without two drummers haha

owai idea spawn

Double setup?

Two sticks to a pad = Two fingers to a arrow receptor

**Zageron** · 08-19-2008, 11:23 PM

Go into the registry and reduce the key repeat delay to like 30 seconds. :\ Boo issue gone. First you gotta figure out how to do that though. Shouldn't be hard.
