Download Dance Dance Revolution Step Files Dance Dance Revolution 4Thmix PSX Rom download dance dance revolution step files Dance Dance Revolution 4thMix PSX Rom. There are two components for playing a psx Dance Dance Revolution 4thMix rom on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the psx OS and software. The second component is the Dance Dance Revolution 4thMix rom itself to play on the emulator. Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest Retroarch – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated. Once you have finished downloading Retroarch , extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the RetroArch-1.7.5-x86-setup.exe file in order to start the emulator. Your emulator will now be ready to play Dance Dance Revolution 4thMix rom . But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator. Step 2: return to Retroarch and hit File > Open . Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely. Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress. Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game. When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it. Links. The main websites about Dance Dance Revolution. A very complete list of DDR related websites can be found in the Stepmania Directory. In particular you will find tons of original simfiles, themes and noteskins for Stepmania there. Plus, Amanda warns you every week about the newest releases on Bemanistyle, ddrplace and Stepmania.com. Buying hardware. This is where you start. I focus on the European market, which of course I know best. Below are mainly remainders of the info in Playing on a PC. I am always grateful for good info about merchant websites. http://www.fl-games.com: It's the way to go if you are after the ultra cheap soft mat at 12€, or if you need a Playstation 2 to USB adaptator. http://www.mayflash.eu or http://www.futuremax.eu/fr/ : If you seek an upper level mat, you have very few options in Europe, to my knowledge. Things are getting worse Dance Pad Mania is an US website offering two different soft mats. Precision Dance Pads is another US shop, with this time very high rated solid mats. Finding tracks. Your quest for DDR title will be time consuming, but exciting as you discover the HUGE variety of available songs. Begin with the Dance school section of this website. You will find a few downloadable titles. This will not take you anywhere far though. There is two category of DDR files : Official packs are the PCs counterparts of the Dance Dance Revolution games released in arcade or console(also spin offs like Dancing Stage). All of them have been converted to Stepmania and Dance With Intensity, this represents a huge pile of ddr files. Then you have the originals files. Made by fans, they cover an incredible variety of musics. Dozens are released everyday! This is what you sould look at if you want "hits" songs. http://zenius-i-vanisher.com/v5.2/index.php features both officials and originals simfiles. No need to register to download at a more than satisfying speed. Great! Go to Games, DDR & DS, simfiles . http://www.stepmaniaonline.eu/: in addition to host Stepmania's multiplayer games, Stepmania Online offers you most official packs and a lot of unofficials, direct download. http://www.stepmaniadownloadsource.com/ has most of the officials songs packs including DDR first mix to eigth mix. You will also find a lot of themes (only for 3.9 I guess) and announcers. http://www.bemanistyle.com/ is the website gathering the most simfiles , unofficials tracks produced by the DDR communauty. Head to Simulation then search simfiles , if you are lucky you will find a dwi of your favorite song! The database is impressive, think about a dozen thousands of titles. Fallout of this, it takes days to go through the entire list looking for attractive songs. Be also warned that the quality of the files ranges from wonderful to unplayable : there is a good deal of heavy only files, sometimes the folders are a mess, and often the synchro is spoiled. you are gonna dig to find the simfiles you dream of! Luckily there is a rating system which will let you make a first sort. You can also read this website: it offers every week a selection of the best bemanistyle simfiles. For the records, bemani is the name of the division "musical games" of Konami. http://www.ddrplace.com/: Same kind as Benami, much less titles though. You will find a DDR tutorial which claims it can rise you up to the heavy level in one week, worth a try? http://www.ddrencore.com/: The site is back in early 2011 with a new design allowing us to listen the tracks on the website! Every single simfile is suited to dancepad and has several difficulty levels to please the player whatever his skills. http://www.dwiextreme.com/: website of a group of DDR fans involved in the creation of quality DDR tracks. They release packs of songs regularly. Techno is their style of music, the likes of David Morales and Moto Blanco. http://www.stepmania.com/: the official website includes a section Songs/User Submitted with at least a thousand titles, same spirit as Bemanistyle. Stepmania Directory/Downloads gathers a lot of original simfiles packs, very convenient! http://www.latelier240.fr/ddr.php: Hey, a french website! :p It gathers 11 collections of a score songs. What I appreciate most is that each pack's content is fully detailed with the difficulty levels available. The songs adapted in these packs are incredible but a lot are fun outdated french songs, like introduction songs from old animation series. Non french people won't understand these :D There remains a good deal of well made international hits. Communauty websites. Once you gathered the necessary equipment you maybe will want to know more about DDR and to keep in touch with the latest news. zenius-i- vanisher and bemanistyle are great for that, but you should also check these websites: Create your own DDR tracks. You dream of playing DDR on your favorite music hit but can not find it anywhere? Make it yourself! Just gather the song's mp3 and if possible a related picture (or better, the video clip) for the background, and follow the piece of advice below. You will need the freeware Audacity to work on the mp3, you can download it here for instance. First step: find out the track's gap and bpm, cut the mp3. Clearly the most important part : there is no fun in playing a ddr file if the arrows are off beats because the bpm is spoiled. bpm stands for beat per minute, thus it is the rate at which the bass is heard. The gap is the time separating the beginning of the song and the first beat. Let us see how to find these two values with Audacity. Launch the software, open your mp3 with a drag and drop in Audacity's window. The importation process takes some time, after this you get the graph of the signal intensity as a function of time. A useful tool is the magnifying glass, which allows to zoom on a specific part of the file. Let us begin with the easy part, the gap. Just zoom the beginning of the song to check the start. As an example in the picture above you can see the peak corresponding to the first beat. Point your mouse on it and the time will appear in the status bar, here the gap is precisely 0,240379 secondes (let's stick to 240 ms ). This is the song butterfly from DDR first mix, the official dwi file indicates a 244ms gap : I was pretty close, and I could have had the exact value with more zooming. Let's move to the bpm, this is much more complicated. You can try a specific software like virtual DJ or atomix, or calculate yourself. Count the number of beats you hear (or see by their beats on Stepmania) in a pretty long period of time. If your hear n beats between the time t1 and t2 given in seconds, then the bpm is n * 60/(t2 - t1). This is quite easy for a techno song, but much less for pop songs because the bass is often silent, and the bpm can change through the song. You will probably find a first value of the bpm and adjust it afterwards in Stepmania : tweak the bpm until arrows at the beginning AND at the end of the song are perfectly timed (see below). You are going to want to cut your file in order to keep like 1minute30 seconds. With Audacity this is peace of cake. Select the part of the mp3 you want to keep, click File, Export the selection to mp3 . Do not forget to change the gap if you cut the beginning of the song! Second step: create an empty dwi file.

NOTE BY THE UNIVERSITY This project report is submitted as an examination paper. No responsibility can be held by London University for the accuracy or completeness of the material therein. Acknowledgements This was a very ambitious MSc project, and as such there are a lot of people I’d like to thank. I’d first like to thank Jon Bird and Paul Marshall, for all of their support and assistance in producing and installing the system, and ultimately getting this report written. They offered great help throughout the project; the project wouldn’t have came together without them. I’d also like to thank all of the other academic and support staff that have taught and helped me over the past twelve months on the Masters’ degree. The Technical Support Group staff, especially Dave Twinsleton, were also a great help with installing various parts of the system, including the wiring for the interactive surface and the wireless network in the stairwell. My friend, Greg Booth, also very kindly took a long day away from home to come to UCL and help me install parts of the system. Fran Allfrey and James Owers kindly allowed me to stay at their home when it was either too late or when I was too exhausted to take the train home.

  • Performing Perception—Staging Aesthetics of Interaction
    Performing Perception—Staging Aesthetics of Interaction PETER DALSGAARD and LONE KOEFOED HANSEN University of Aarhus In interaction design for experience-oriented uses of technology, a central facet of aesthetics of in- teraction is rooted in the user’s experience of herself “performing her perception.” By drawing on performance (theater) theory, phenomenology and sociology and with references to recent HCI-work on the relation between the system and the performer/user and the spectator’s re- lation to this dynamic, we show how the user is simultaneously operator, performer and spec- tator when interacting. By engaging with the system, she continuously acts out these three roles and her awareness of them is crucial in her experience. We argue that this 3-in-1 is always already shaping the user’s understanding and perception of her interaction as it is 13 staged through her experience of the object’s form and expression. Through examples ranging from everyday technologies utilizing performances of interaction to spatial contemporary art- works, digital as well as analogue, we address the notion of the performative spectator and the spectating performer. We demonstrate how perception is also performative and how focus on this aspect seems to be crucial when designing experience-oriented products, systems and services. Categories and Subject Descriptors: H.1.2 [Models and Principles]: User/Machine Systems— Human factors; H.5.2 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: User Interfaces—Theory and methods; J.5 [Computer Applications]: Arts and Humanities—Performing arts (e.g., dance, music) General Terms: Design, Human Factors, Theory Additional Key Words and Phrases: Aesthetics, interaction design, human-computer interaction, art, performance theory, experience design ACM Reference Format: Dalsgaard, P.

  • Miguel Balauag STS145 Dance Dance Revolution: a True Revolution
    Miguel Balauag STS145 Dance Dance Revolution: A True Revolution Introduction This is not your typical arcade game. It stands at a height of eight feet, two feet larger than most arcade cabinets. Lights shine down as dance music thumps out of the two large speakers on the cabinet’s base. There is no joystick or array of circular buttons; instead, you stand on a metal platform with four pressure panels beneath your feet and a handbar behind you. A set of stationary arrows is at the top of the screen, while other arrows rise from the bottom. Each one corresponds to a direction (up, left, down, or right), and as each one reaches the top, you step on the corresponding panel – stomp, stomp, stomp. The steps match the beats of the song, and the game tells you how good your timing is (words like “Perfect,” “Great,” or “Miss” flash on-screen as each arrow floats off the screen). Welcome to Dance Dance Revolution. At a time when the arcade industry was shrinking, video games were under fire for violent content, and music games were relatively unsuccessful, Dance Dance Revolution defied all expectations and became the biggest coin-op craze of recent times. It has evolved into a cultural phenomenon, making appearances in news articles, talk shows, a Skechers commercial, and television shows such as FOX’s King of the Hill. In many ways, it has risen above most video games in the public consciousness. But most importantly, Dance Dance Revolution has largely developed into a social arena with its own communities and cultures.

We kicked off the competition with counselors participating in the “Face-Off” each morning. Wacky relays ranged from watermelon-eating to balloon-passing and scooter-racing, as Tan Toros and Red Riders cheered for their staff. Egg-tossing, Slip ‘n’ Slide, you name it - it was part of the “Face-Off”!

  • The Fifth Act
    The Fifth Act Charlie Bullock So this happened back, like, four or five years ago, when I was working for a temp agency in Chicago. So like early 2022, I think. Maybe late February. And it was about 8:30 p.m., and quite dark, and I came home from work (work, that week, was at some Graphic Design firm in Logan Square) to find my roommate Brian sitting on the metal stage of a DDR cabinet and crying. I should note at the outset that “DDR” is Dance Dance Revolution, a pioneering series of dance and rhythm games that were quite popular in America as recently as the early teens, and that continue to enjoy healthy sales to this day in Japan and New Zealand. And I should clarify that I don’t mean that Brian was sitting and crying on a DDR pad, like, the foldy plastic things that you can buy for forty bucks and plug into your Xbox. Brian is serious about rhythm games; Brian has two first-generation arcade cabinets from 1998, which weigh like 440 pounds each. I know how much they weigh because I helped him move them into our two-bedroom Pilsen apartment,1 which luckily is on the first floor but which not so luckily does not have a communal living space so much as it has like a communal hallway between the front door and the kitchen, which hallway is almost wide enough to allow a pedestrian of average width to comfortably slip by the two arcade ‘cabs’ and get to his room.
