point me in the direction of the shops on the internet that sell the PC ones, i can't find any in the UK :-(

however i have found playstation ones (and bought one), cost £15 from play, at amazon they were 18.99, 12.99, 17.99, also some for 9.99, and if anyone decides to buy one from there i can get you a fiver off voucher for free, just send me a PM.

also i dont know if anyone is nice enough... but for stepmania i am having a nightmare downloading all the mp3s and dwi files for DDR (partly due to them not downloading, but rather being played in winamp, and me having to go get them from temporary internet files. Also partyly due to me having to use my 56k connection, which cuts off every 2 hours. so far ive only had the patience to download 3 songs), if anyone is kind enough to put them on cd... im sure we can come to some sort of arrangement, again just send a PM

Cheers, also if anyone else finds things cheaper elsewhere feel free to link

Rah! :p
The PSX dancing games suck tbh, I often find the steps don't line up quite like I think they should. Stick with Stepmania, its the best arcade conversion for the PC.

I'm back from i14 so I'll be sending you the songs as agreed RK(CLL). BatWick, PM me your home address and I'll do the same. ;)

I'm told that this PSX to USB adapter (http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=55&products_id=255&) works for dancemats. However, the problem with converting PSX to PC is that the arrow keys are mapped as axis and not buttons. This will not work in Dance Dance Revolution. The link I have given you supposedly stops this problem, but I hear complaints that it doesn't allow you to press 2 buttons at once (so thats a lot of even the most basic songs out the window then :( ).

The USB Thrustmaster dancemats supplied by CyberDrac and Tsunami aren't easy to find, but they work a treat. CyberDrac got his from Ebay, Tsunami found me mine in a PC World in a random special offer deal. They came bundled with some rubbish Disney game, lol.

TBH, I wouldn't buy another PSX one and use the converters. The only way I found to make it work was using a PSX to parallel adapter, and it was a massive hassle to set up and didn't always work. Hit Ebay, ask CyberDrac nicely and he might be abkle to give you a hand in finding the Thrustmaster USB dancemats.
