Question Is it possible to...

...plug in a DDR mat into the computer, set up the mat so that the arrows on the mat are the same as the keyboard, and play FFR with the mat? I know nothing about computers and I have never tryed using controllers/mats with the computer, so if this works, I'd really like to try it.

I've heard it's possible, although I have no idea how. It seems like it would be a LOOONG process though...not sure.

It should be just like hooking one up to stepmania right?

Yeah, stepmania is actually where I got the idea. I thought it'd be a pretty neat idea if you could play FFR with a mat as well.

You can't really because of all the boos that you get, unless of course you play DDR by floating above the pad.

Ouch, that's a good point. Still, I don't think that'll be a problem in R2 or Resonance.

It would lose it's novelty very quickly, I'm sure. You'd be much better off just doing it with Stepmania.

Not really. If you set your options to not repeat a key by holding it down, you could probably get by.

on your computer:

Start > Control Panel > Keyboard > set repeat delay to long and repeat rate

It won't turn the repeat off, but it will make it less likely that you will repeat the note.

Well, if you can't turn it off completely, then I guess this whole thing isn't worth trying.

Well, the chances of you standing on the same arrow for more than 5 seconds is pretty rare.

It's actually really fun. Too bad there's like one good pad file on all of FFR (Tsugaru 180 is my favorite)

I tried a usb mat of my friends to play SM but it was sort of laggy, I had to hit the notes a little early.. Id say play the real DDR or just stick to keyboards.
