high voltage Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) A dance mat with 9-pin connector, I think this item is a good idea: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 251964687603 I was wondering if you could play Video Jogger and Video Reflex with this? How does the joystick operation work with those 2 games? Edited May 23, 2015 by high voltage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 How does this use more than 5 buttons? Is there a keypad style matrix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiddlepaddle Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Might be fun to play Ms Pacman with this thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 This is just a converted PlayStation dance mat. I doubt more than 5 buttons work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) If it's supposed to work with joystick, games then it's most likely using the usual 5 inputs. However, with fairly trivial electronics, the outer 4 corners/diagonals could be set up to do Up+Left, Up+Right, Down+Left, Down+Right. That would at least make 9 of the physical "buttons" on the mat able to perform some function. Edited May 23, 2015 by BigO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickvogt Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) Here is a short translation. I also think it is just "simulating" a normal joystick (UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT,BUTTON at least for the VCS). Maybe it can also be used on a Genesis/Mega Drive which should have 9 button options in total. Die Tanzmatte funktioniert wie ein normaler Joystick. Sie enthält neben einer optischen Anzeige einen Atari typischen 9 Poligen Joystick Anschluss. Durch die Bewegung des Spielers kann jedes herkömmliche Spiel “Aktiv” gespielt werden – ein Spass für Gross & Klein der sicherlich auch neue Benutzergruppen erschliessen wird. Kompatibel mit jedem Spiel das einen Joystick unterstützt. The dance mat is working like a normal joystick. Besides an optical display [i think thats the black thing on top] it also contains a 9-pin joystick connector. Through the movement of the gamer every game can be played "actively" [so get up!]. A joy for kids and grown-ups which will gain a whole new target audience for gaming. Compatible with every game [console] which supports a joystick. Only thing I wonder is: Im Lieferumfang befindet sich neben einer Anleitung auch 3 gebrauchte Spielmodule, die diese Art der Eingabe optimal unterstützen. This offer also includes a manual and three used game cartridges, which supports this type of input in a perfect way. Honestly, I am not sure if I wanna Tennis with this mat.
