https://diode.zone/videos/watch/68b91bc5-f260-4f1d-96eb-0673e18dd7e7 This is a very old video, from late 2009 or early 2010. There's a blog post that goes with the project here: https://scanlime.org/2010/01/gitaroo-man-ddr-pad/ This is an experiment in cooperative two-player Gitaroo Man, played using a gamepad for attack/charge and DDR pad for defense. For those who aren't familiar with it, Gitaroo Man is a PS2 rhythm game where you do battle using music. You play music on your "gitaroo" to attack or to charge your health bar. To defend against the enemy's attacks, you dodge by pressing buttons in time with icons that fly toward the center of the screen. We thought the dodging phase of the game might map well to a DDR pad, so here it is. I implemented this by writing some special-purpose firmware for my Unicone2 controller emulator microcontroller. Disclaimer: When we filmed this, we hadn't played Gitaroo Man in years.. so we definitely could have done better with some more practice 😃 This video is of Resurrection (the last song in the game) on normal difficulty.
