Dancepad Layouts
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Most dancepads are intended for DDR or other 4-panel games using Up, Down, Left, and Right arrows. These are typically arranged in a 3x3 grid with the center being a "dead" square for rest. On arcade pads the arrows are the only controls, with selection controls being on the cabinet. On pads for home consoles , the corners of the grid are usually used for the ABXY (or equivalent, looking at you PlayStation) buttons with Start and Select being placed on the top edge.
|
|
|
|
The most common alternative layout for dancepads is the Pump It Up style 5-panel game: Four corners and center. There are few home versions of 5-panel games and thus few pads available.
|
|
|
|
Thus, to represent dancepad controls, the following buttons will cover them with the exceptions of certain games with unique controls:
|
|
|
|
* Up Arrow
|
|
* Down Arrow
|
|
* Left Arrow
|
|
* Right Arrow
|
|
* Center
|
|
* Top Left Arrow
|
|
* Top Right Arrow
|
|
* Bottom Left Arrow
|
|
* Bottom Right Arrow
|
|
* Standard ABXY/equivalent
|
|
* Standard Start/Select
|
|
|
|
Exceptions of note:
|
|
|
|
* Dance 86.4 Funky Radio Station: Simplified dance game with three pads aligned in a row, color coded similar to guitar/band game controllers.
|
|
* Dance Aerobics: A game that uses the 3x4 side B of the NES Power Pad. Each button on this side is marked as a colored circle numbered 1 though 12 (numbers progressing left to right, top to bottom). The left two columns are colored blue, the right two columns red. |
