I love DDR. I just yesterday played it for almost 4 hours straight. I also have DWI on my PC @ home. I want to know: is it possible to build a home dance platform thatll work with DWI? I've seen guides for home DDR platforms for playstations, so i assume it would be the same procedure. Anyone know of any guides for DWI PC dance platform building?

I just have a $5 "PSX - to - parallel" adapter, hook up my PSX dancepads via it... boom. Perfect dance pads for the computer.

Whoops! Look like they raised it a whole dollar! Heh. Works perfectly. Use the Direct Pad Pro driver they have a link to... it's what I use.

Aww, there's nothing wrong with the plastic crappy things :P

Acutally, I've got RedOctane Ignition 2.0 pads, and I love them more than any actual hard-pad.

But yeah, as long as you're wiring for a PSX pad, you should be able to use this adapter. I've seen plenty of pics of home-made pads using similar adapters and working flawlessly.
