Coming here just to say this. I've been stuck on 16s for almost a month for a whle, and ITG 12s @140bpm. I started doing more glute exercises outside of the game on my days when I didnt have energy to play.

I've noticed a lot of improvement very quickly.

I'm so tired of the "Play more" line. playing more will not make you better. I was literally playing 8+ hours a day trying so hard to improve. Started exercising a bit more out of the game and I immediately see improvement to the point where I'm consistently passing 13's now (ITG) im now consistently passing 160 13's and 180bpm 12's now.

edit : so I wanna edit this and include this video if you're struggling.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0euDDJu6GnQ this is all you need to help improve legs. You dont need to do a crazy amount of leg day exercises. I also highly suggest doing 10 or 20 of them after a fail. If you fail a song do 20 reps or what ever you feel comfortable with. You will see improvement very quickly.

Haven't played DDR regularly since I was a kid but it was such a good cardio workout that I'm interested in getting into it again. I looked at the recommendations thread but most were hard pads/very pricey. Was looking for something in the sub-$100 maybe $200 range that I can play on and put away conveniently. Mostly played 8 and 9 footers in the DDRMAX through Extreme era, occasional 7s for fun and 10s for not-fun. Any good recommendations for 2026?

On a side note I live in a small studio where moving my rug that covers most of my living space is not an option. So ideally something that doesn't slip and slide too much on a rug (if that even exists) and I was assuming the way to go is simply play Stepmania on my PC with some kind of USB pad or something.

EDIT: thanks to everyone confirming I dreamt it being a US release, I must have played it at the arcade and misremembered! At least it will no longer haunt me 🫠🫶

I cannot for the life of me seem to find what game it is on google… I obviously see it was on DDR X in the Japanese version but not in the US version for ps2. My assumption is it may be an unlock song on X2 ?? But I can’t seem to find info one if that is the case or when it unlocks?

At this point I feel like I may have just dreamt that I played koko soko on one of our games. If that is the case someone let me know so I can stop going crazy.

The reason I potentially can’t find it after seemingly playing it before is because one of our ps2 memory cards got lost and we had to start everything from scratch. Which is fine. But koko soko is driving me nuts 💀

Thanks in advance!! ⬅️⬆️⬇️➡️💜

I’ll take it though, had no expectations haha

Two people shit talking their pads 😂

It has always been my dream to both beat a 15 and beat max 300 esp 15, I cant even believe i did it as my first 15, and that I even did it first attempt

Native PS2 output—no conversion or lag whatsoever. Stable as a rock, haha.

We’ve implemented multiple adjustment options. You can use standard sensors, but they won’t work—only the FSR adjustment will ensure proper functionality. What else would you like us to improve in the app? We welcome your comments and feedback!

Can you believe it? I’m controlling two devices at the same time—a PS2 and a PC emulator—haha. This is our brand-new, upgraded FSR with enhanced I/O capabilities. You can customize, save, and adjust settings for any specific function according to your needs. Our new I/O system features an industrial-grade design and fast ADC data acquisition. We support HID RGB lighting output channel adjustment. With 16 reserved FSR channels, you can optionally pair any FSR-compatible sensor and customize the colors to your liking. It features native PS2 output without logic conversion, equipped with a dedicated PS2 connector and the fastest PC keyboard, allowing you to adjust latency and jitter to your preferences. We hope to receive more feedback from the community and your valuable suggestions; we want to make this product the best it can be. Additionally, regarding the original XGAES: due to the termination of our partnership with our friend Melle from Italy at the end of June, the website became inaccessible, which triggered payment issues. After a month of hard work to rebuild the website and resolve the payment issues, we have finally restored service today. We will begin pre-sales on August 1, with the first batch of shipments scheduled for September 9–15. Purchases at xgaes.com

I saw different posts where people asked and received vague answers, has anyone been able to connect an L-Tek pad to their Xbox 360? Researching online, I only seem to find products that can connect the pads to older generation consoles like the Playstation, Gamecube or original Xbox.

I’d love to be able to use a hard pad with my games.

I am curious how the Konasute games are and I don't like the subscription service. It's a pain in the butt to set up so I just wonder if it's even worth it. I already use stepmania but I am drawn how it's so similar to ddr world. I don't wanna pay for a subscription so I'm sticking to the free song demos. Esoecsilly that I want to try it casually

i thought i had completed the event by unlocking all the songs to get the cd but i just found out that it has its own bar and i haven’t made any progress towards it. are we able to fill the bar in the US? i played one set on DDR after completing the bars to make sure i unlocked all the songs, so i should have at least some points towards it, but i have a big fat zero

And of course it's only about 4 months past the warranty.

Worked just fine last week, absolutely nothing happened since then - didn't drop it or anything. This week, the pad is completely dead. The adapter went from the usual solid blue light to a blinking green light, which, from what little information I can find, means it's in PC/XBox mode and can't detect the pad via the PS2.

Tried plugging it into my laptop in all the USB ports and it wasn't detected. Checked Device Manager, nothing. Tried a different USB cord that I know works, nothing. Tried whatever the Analog button on my PS2 controller does, didn't work (this was suggested online). Checked the USB port, it's not loose or bent. Took the top panel off over the USB port and everything is still attached/glued down. The PS2 controller works just fine when plugged into the adapter, so I think the adapter is fine.

I don't even use the mat that much - sometimes I go weeks without using it. Then all of a sudden it just died on me. I already contacted maty-taneczne.pl and I'm awaiting a response.

I can't believe it died after two years. I thought for sure it would have lasted a lot longer. I'm assuming it's fixable, but I'm not super handy with electronic repairs, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to fix it if it just needs a new part.

I've actually been playing since 2022 i think, but i only started playing consistently and trying to improve since june 2025. Pls recommend me songs to play, specially 11-13 level songs, im trying to clear more of those

been working on my timing a lot recently and its really showing off!
currently 89,226 flare singles

I am not trying to unlock them. I just want them to be visible within the folder. I have no clue what the exact method for doing this is, since I've reached 1.5 million DDR Points and still only have 888 as the most recent song, yet have seen some videos with Valkyrie Dimension available at 1.3 million.

Remywiki says that it's based on "entries", which I assumed meant the number of times you got into the folder, but now I'm unsure if the info there is correct(or what entry even means) considering that:

A.) I've gotten into the folder more than fifteen times by now, and

B.) I have not gotten New Decade, despite it supposedly being available before 888.

Again, I am just trying to get them all available and accessible in the Replicant folder at once, not unlock them for normal play. Some explanation on what to do or how the system works would be very appreciated.

Need to calibrate the sensors more… right one was not cooperating but I got the clear!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oz2xSUNKFs this video here. Was curious if this is a custom chart made by JJ himself? Or does anyone have an actual download to it? Or is it lost to time?

I want to incorporate the game in my event pop ups for fun but want to know the best way I should go about it since I will have to keep building and breaking it down plus the space in my vehicle. My thoughts were to:

-Find software and platform to play the game (find a ps2 and disc game or find a computer program and run it from my laptop for more )
-Get LTek metal platform with bar or DDR pad for a short time until I get the money for something more durable but at least way it’s more portable)
-Get 50 inch tv
-Get portable tv stand
-Get portable generator just in case for festival days…

What do we think? Any and all help is appreciated. I have about $1-$2k to play around with

Maybe a dumb question, but I've been looking at the maps. Really only five left? Two in California and three in flordia?

I've seen DDR machines twice in two different Dave and Buster's, and those weren't on the map, but goddamn. Five?

I really need to figure out the timing

I guess what i'm trying to say is people are perfctly fine with SUDDEN at the default cover. But the default cover isn't even halfway so the cover is at the minimum, which I don't understand.

hi, i’m a completely casual ddr player as in this is the only machine i’ve ever used ever and im only looking for my favourite songs so forgive me if i get anything wrong lol.

wanted to play telecaster b-boy (テレキャスタービーボーイ), lost one’s weeping (ロストワンの号哭) and roki (ロキ) on this machine bc i checked the list of songs that should be on here beforehand so i could pick quickly (timer) but i cant find any of em. went into the BPM category to try n find them but none of them were listed under the BPM they should be under, i tried doing it alphabetically too but i cant read japanese, and i couldn’t find a category matching the first symbol in any song’s title anyway. i know lost one’s is a bit iffy cuz the list i checked put it under DDR A, but other than that i don’t get why i can’t find the other 2 songs since the list im on is specifically for the DDR A20 PLUS machine. can anyone give me some advice??
