DDR Machine Restoration |
I really like Dance Dance Revolution, it's always been a dream of mine to have a cab of my own... So when the opportunity to get one for an extremely good price arose, I struck!
The cab is in pretty rough cosmetic shape and the hardware inside these Raw Thrills DDR cabs isn't known for being great, that's why I've taken it upon myself to turn this into a restoration project!
Currently, I have fully rebuilt both pads, retrofitting EZ2Dancer sensors into them and doing heaps of mods to make them great to play on competitively, installed a new PC so that newer games can be run + selected from a game selection menu, replaced all IO with an Arduino based solution and some other small things, such as replacing buttons, and minor cosmetic touchup work.
Cosmetic work! The cab is functionally complete at this point and all there is left to do is fix the damage to the marquee and touch up some cosmetic blemishes around the place.
I'm currently doing a YouTube series on this project, check it out!Here are links to all the resources I've used and all the products I've bought.
