Hello all you DDR fans.... I'm new to the hobby. I just bought a PS2 DDR Pad from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3085971262&category=21188 check out the link. Anyways, I also bought the USB PSX converter http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3085971264&category=3677 check out that link.

I have Delight Delight Reduplication on my PC. I can play it using my keys, or number pad on the keyboard. BUT... I cannot get it to work with the pad. Do you see my frustration? Any help, tips, would be greatly appreciated. I went into the settings of Delight Delight Reduplication and messed with those as much as I could. No luck.

On a site (I was searching for drivers) I found a "driver" called joy2key. It is basically a program to help setup an N64 or PSX controller on your PC. The thing is, when I detect my "controller" which is my DDR Pad, it finds it with this program. It says, "Click Left" so I step on the left arrow. It REGISTERS. Then it says "Click Right" so I step on the right arrow. It registers. And so on for the other two arrows. So... I can see the Pad WORKS... just not with Delight Delight Reduplication...

Any feedback would be wonderful. Should I consider buying a different version of DDR? Is there anywhere to download a trial/free version of DDR?

Thanks alot...

All answers can be found and discussed by the lovely people in the Simulators forum, where this should be. Welcome to ddrfreak btw, please read the faq

I'd try a program called StepMania

its vastly superior to reduplication, and my pad worked with it when it wouldn't work with others.

Stepmania is an amazing DDR simulator. www.stepmania.com then go to the stickie at the top on where to get songs/how to put songs in etc.

Good luck with the DDR!

you also don't have to worry about compatability issues with song files because stepmania is just awesome that way. You can also get different announcers and there are a lot more options that you can modify the song with. get it. It's awesome.

That pad is going to be broken before you know it, but that adapter should work with StepMania or DWI. I don't know much about Delight Delight working with the pad...

To get your ps/usb converter to work, hold up, start, and select for 5 seconds and it will switch to dance mode, so you can play DDR with it.
