Strike Help

Napakane · 08-09-2006, 05:28 AM

Hi just bought DDR strike, cant read japanese and need some basic help with A) what songs are unlockable and how B) What the main menu options are (translated menu) and C) how to configure my Beatmania Konami ASC to work on DDR using the four white keys easily.
Im a Beatmania IIDX fan who likes all bemani games for the music and unfortunately my apartment doesnt really have room for the metal dance pad so i need to play using my Bm controller.
If this information is all in another place ie an FAQ if you let me know where its available that would be cool. Thanks very much

boy, i wanna try playing ddr on my iidx controller, although a regular dualshock would probably be better

Unlockable songs are generally Konami Originals from Ultramix 2. I thought there was a FAQ for this, but couldn't find it myself very quickly. Barring that, there's a post on DDR Freak that has translations of the menu items. I haven't double checked it, but it sounds right at first glance.

As far as using your IIDX controller to play, good luck. I don't think it's going to work very well. You can't change the button assignments of the IIDX controller without rewiring the thing, and I don't think you can change button assignments in any version of DDR. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that. Anyway, if you tried using the white keys, one mapping I saw showed them, left to right, as being O X [] Left. Translating that to DDR layout you'd get: Right Down Left Left. The black keys are all mapped to L/R shoulder buttons, which I don't think DDR uses except for double play. The only way you could trigger up would be to use the turntable. Short version: Probably not gonna happen.
