i think my mat is beyond repair - the printed circuit is broken in numerous places. oh the pain...
suzu, you dont have stepmania?!?!? you haven't lived i tell you!
try www.stepmania.com
the latest release is 3.9 alpha 20, which although is alpha rocks over 3.0 final.
it doesn't come with songs mind you. try DDRStyling.it and DDR:UK (need to register for this one). theyre my favourites.
edit: the downloads section of DDRStyling.it seems to be down atm. oh well.

i guess I haven't -_- that makes me sad. The print circuit was kinda broken on mine but I taped that back together too and it has been a little better. I really am going to have to look into this "step mania" Maybe I'll even get a mat for the computer, if they arn't too expensive and it'll download to my computer.

Well I have a psx-pc adaptator, and now, psx mat cost like $18 (at least for me because I have connections). For both the price is about $36, but you can also buy a metal dance pod since they're 10X more resistants 
And as for stepmania there's an editor that allows you to use your own songs and create new tracks
BTW: has anyone tried the mode with rotating arrows and 8 arrows directions? ^^

I can play a few songs on Heavy, my favorite songs are the RE-VENGE songs they are pretty hard but i can usually survive to the end, i need to practice Max300 a lot more though. i can do it on light real easy, but i have trouble with standard, mainly because i havent memorized where the arrows are yet, once i get that its just a matter of not killing myself by playing so many hard songs without getting anything to drink
The only bad experience ive had in public was this one guy that was watching kept yelling really really really really really loud right next to me (almost in my ear) and i quote "THIS GUY IS CRAZY!!!" and he just kept going on, so i couldent hear some of the beats and i messed up right at a point in the song where i was getting flooded with arrows, think i was playing Healing vision. Besides that, its great out in public, all i need now is someone to practice with, because i have 2 metal dance pads, i just cant get anyone that i know to learn and play the game and i get tired of practicing the harder stuff all alone, know what i mean?

@Crono- YOU HAVE 2 METAL MATS?? and you can't find anyone to play with??? I wish I had one metal mat
@playing in public, well I like playing at the arcade and I don't mind people watching but sometimes they get obnoxious and I can't consentrate. They laugh at me cause I usually do rythm&police standard first for warm up. They are so evil they act so high and mighty, it pisses me off. Then when I do Holic on Heavy they shut up and leave me alone.

Yeah i have 2 of them, ive tried to get a few of my friends to learn to play, but they just dont wanna dedicate any time to trying it.
I live in Miami, so when i play in public its usually somewhere like Dave&Busters, Gameworks, or some movie theather that botherd to get the game, many people that play usually dont know the first thing about the game so im generally left alone, and when someone who does know how to play does show up, we usually just keep dancing like a couple of madmen, mainly because after seeing us dance no one bothers to try, most likely because they think they will be embarrased or something.There was one night when a few people were around that could dance, it was nice having a small amount of resting time before playing again, that way even when i burnt myself out i had time to recover (some of these things give you 5 songs instead of 3) i generally play better when i have a partner around.

The only time you can play with metal mats are the time when you are in arcade. Else either you own that machine or you buy 2 metal mats. I need 2 mats to play doubles since I need to practice doubles. Both choices are not advisable because it just takes up too much money and space in your home. Playing in the arcade is fun when they turn on the volume loud so that you can listen to the beat carefully and dance to the rhythm.
Suzu-san, have you passed Rhythm and Police Maniac (Heavy) singles yet?

Metal mats for 50$!!!!!!! why can't I live where you are *cries* I can afford 50$. WEll maybe not, but its better than paying 200$.
MShingen- No unfourtantly not, there is one part where I always mess, up, if it wasn't for that one part I would be fine. I can even practice much now because Max isn't working on my PS2. I don't want to practice at the arcade because I prefer not to get harrassed and I don't want to get banned from the arcade for beating someone up, its not worth it.

Maybe you should consider looking at the steps and then see whether do you know how to turn or not, how and where should you face when you reach that area. Practice at home a few times by looking the steps. Once you are familiar and ready, try at the arcade as your final stage first.
dreamer said:Well there's still people who create their own game with their own songs on stepmania
Yeah, creating the steps and then save into the memory card and then plug the card into the arcade machine and dance the song with your own customised steps. Challenging! Used to do that last time but now because of training for doubles play, I stopped for some time.

Stepmania songs are all over the web... but I'm afraid I don't make any.
I have DDR Extreme for PS2, and I'm borrowing two metal pads from a friend of mine. I can pass everything on Heavy except Paranoia Survivor Max and Max Period... 10 footers that I can pass:
Sakura, Bag, Max 300, Maxx Unlimited, Paranoia Survivor, and The Legend of Max!!!
On a side note, does anyone here play Beatmania or Beatmania IIDX? It's made by the creators of DDR and it totally rocks!!!

You can get it at home if you have a Japanese PS2 or an English PS2 with a mod chip. I would have it, except I just spent around $300 on DDR Extreme and Beatmania IIDX 7th style... as well as $2400 on a Japanese Sony Vaio... I'm soooooo broke...

I remember when my brother and i went to six flags and we went into the arcade and we saw a ddr game there no one was playing it and then when my brother and i got on it (after i cashed in 40$ in quarters each) we put it on the hardest difuculty and on the song that is off of the G4techtv commercial and then we went at it until our feet started to bind then we stoped but after we got off we realized we spent both of our 40$ and we had a crowd watching us in the arcade then when i came back to get on it we cashed in 60$ each but people that were watching us over ran the game for the rest of the day there was a line going all the way to the outside of the building they had to take the coin tray thing out a few times but we finally got back on it and we were laughing about it all day saying "We were playing it before it was cool!" That was my first ddr experience ever and i have been hooked ever since. so i would like to say.... My name is Tim and i am a DDR addict and if there are anymore out there say it loud! and say it proud!
