Usning bemani-controllers for other things?

[Zarcom]

This should be yet a funny AND hilarious creative approach, but here it goes:

Has anyone used a IIDX controller for DJ'ing (via usning FL Studio or just a simple Virtual DJ program), for playing around that is?.

Oh man, imagine usning a POP'N Controller as an extra set of Functions for Windows?? OF course, adding a skin to represent on which button is which .

Or a DDR pad for Track & Field for the NES.

LMAO these are some of the creative ideas that I have used in the past..well except for the IIDX controller.

But one can only imagine.

This was fun.

See yaz bye.

i tried playing a Tony Hawk game with my cobalt flux once and it didn't work out very well at all

helix: damn .

i once played Castlevania Symphony of the Night with the mat.

Lets just say i almost died at Slogra/Gaibon.

First off: there's no way you can DJ using a IIDX controller ironically.

However, I've been extremely interested in turning them into MIDI controllers for drums hahahaha

Also Pop'N controller look to obe promising for SOMETHING.

I've used a combination of a wireless number pad and DDR pad to play DOOM.

Best fucking day ever.

I tried to play Gradius with the IIDX AKOC once. Things were going well until the first boss.

Tried using my beatmania controller for DDR. Didn't work too well.

The closest I've ever come was using the Guitar Freaks controller on guitar hero.

It didn't work.

I've done that too, hahaha. Spinning the disc in order to get up or down freeze arrows was quite fun, lol.

Used to play Stepmania with my IIDX controllers. Actually works great.

Street Fighter or Final Fantasy with a DDR pad was probably the biggest stretch.

I've done several things with my controllers

for reference, even though i include it, I use a program called GlovePie (similiar to Joy2Key but more versital) to map all inputs from the controllers

Keyboardmania KOC + GlovePie
Set it up using GlovePie so that when i play certain note patterns, differnt things would happen with my PC. For instance playing the first 9 notes of Fur Elise would open my internet browser. This got very compicated very quickly

IIDX KOC + GlovePie
I use this as my music controller for winamp. The TT changes songs for me while different keys change things like volume, play, pause, rewind, skip, etc..

Pop'n Mini + GlovePie
I have all the inputs mapped out for use but I haven't determind a use for it yet with Windows

Drummania KOC + GlovePie + MIDI Contrllers
Using the combination of the controller with glovepie, i can bind the different pads to keys. Then using a Virtual Midi Controller set for Drums, I can play with the DM KOC and it sounds like an electronic drumset when coming out of my PC speakers. I'm sure that I can use this in Fruity Loops Studio, haven't tried yet


Other than this i've done various things
I've used my IIDX KOC to play Guitar freaks, it was fun but aggravating
I've played Stepmania with my Drummania KOC

Also for shear randomness, I tried this out and it was very disasterous but fun. You will need a Taiko Drum controller (i know it's not bemani) Set it so the Left and Right Face (RED) are Left and Right and the Left and Right Rims (BLUE) to A and B (NES) and play Super Mario Bros (NES). You'll have to use your keyboard for the Up key incase you want to go up vines. I need to make a video of me beating the game like this....hmm...

Played Tekken 5 Arcade with a KOC...

Fun times when you work for an arcade that had twenty people tops on a Friday evening

If I can't sell my space IIDX controller, I may try turning it into a CD player.
We'll see.
I have no building ablity whatsoever. DX

Time Crisis for PS1, Light Gun in the Player 1 port and a DDR mat in the Player 2 port, pressing the down arrow on the mat will make you crouch
