StepMania with Wiimotes

[TheKigkid]

how can u do it if u need to press 2 buttons ore hold 1 down while need to click another button

[GuaReN3000]

;o, ;O , great a.a!

[Earthplayer]

Do a barrel role!

[Mutt504]

duuuuude this would be AWESOME practice for music conducting lol

[fierothehedgehog]

the wiimote ruined ddr hottest party! thumbs up if you agree.

[idOscopio]

lol

otra cosa buena del wii x3

[cbrav0]

what a nice idea. It would be really nice to have wiimotes all over your body xD

btw, view number 69696 :

[BertieBuh]

This is bloody phat!  Nice idea man. :)

[GabL123]

how can you put the videos at the same time .????

[finalchiky]

this is gay

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Thanks idiot.

[Habbloxian]

@ashleymuncaster1987 Honestly, people like finalchiky are idiots. It's the reason I'm thinking on quitting YouTube. Nice video, btw.

[Harvtarv]

OMG End of the Century is my fave song!!!!

[korkiwi]

well you can't hit any doubles like that.

[xVipeRPaiNx]

yeha i tohught of myabe using it with combination of anotehr wiimote or the nunchuck.. using the nalog for doulbles... or mayeb using the +pad on the mote... or how ever is called...

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Use two wiimotes, or look at my video response to see the updated script in action.

[drake7331]

Hey, can you reupload the .pie file please?

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Done :)

[QShery]

err. What's the point?

[mazingerz99]

Another option to playing Stepmania is with your 360 guitar.

[WTFPS3RULZLOL]

or ps3 i did that

[Nightsfield]

WOW So weird and cool at the same time! Wii ddr! Looks like fun! XD So cool!

[bernardvu]

DDR..without the ddr...

[chicken5soup]

you know you can sit down right

[stepmaniafin]

lol there is 2 different videos xD

[PIKACHU49386]

swipe swipe revolution

[KingMobsta]

lol cool

[ecordian]

It seems harder with the remote.

[NeoCydude]

Well I like the song.

[gnoxes90]

horrible song

[ashleymuncaster1987]

And this is another pointless comment. Thanks for your time gnoxes90.

[gnoxes90]

...because is the truth

some people just can't stand it

[ashleymuncaster1987]

If you made a bit of the comment and maybe explained reasoning then I wouldn't have snapped sarcastically at you. And by the way, the music is not on show here, so really comments about the music are quite pointless. Yes, you may not like the song, but I couldn't care less.

[gnoxes90]

ok ok,my bad

yes,i think that the control is a cool thing.

i really don't see it very practical (in stepmania) but is a cool discover

the music,well...everyone has their own opinion,mine is that i don't like the music.

[Aurith]

tsk tsk tsk there is no ddr game for the wii... Is there?

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Aurith, there is - DDR Hottest Party, look it up. But this isn't it. This is StepMania on the PC using Wiimotes as BlueTooth HIDs.

[icontrolyourworld]

that would be very exasting on a song that has about 3000 arrows like blue army lol

[x3AngelDeFeux3]

i didnt know that there have ddr game for wiimote!

[ashleymuncaster1987]

This isn't - it's just a controller mod for PC so that it simulates arrow keys on a keyboard.

However, DDR Hottest Party IS a DDR game that not only involves the regular dance mat, but also Wiimote motions.

[nataliejewel]

This looks fun! :D

[DJCykon]

It'd be awesome if the wiimote and the nunchuk would both be read the same way. I dont think the nunchuk has the same directional sensors in it tho :/

[ashleymuncaster1987]

If you watch the video response I made, you'll see that I have accomplished Wiimote + Nunchuk.

[juanniyo]

but you can't play fast songs that way. Try to beat max 300 on expert with the wiimotes

[ashleymuncaster1987]

juanniyo: Obviously this control method will not be able to do complex sequences like Max 300 or Paranoia Max, or anything about 8-steps realistically. It's a unique control method, which would warrant a completely different difficulty scheme.

[kzrproducciones]

is stupid

[ashleymuncaster1987]

kzrproducciones: Could you please elaborate for all of us - "is stupid" is not a grammatically correct sentence, and also doesn't make any sense. Your comment "is stupid".

[kzrproducciones]

Lo siento el wii mw parece estupido, y porfavor nunca digas que un comentario es estupido, solo es un comentario... ok

adios.

[wowimc00l]

owned.

[ashleymuncaster1987]

I almost thought you had me there kzrproducciones, but upon closer reading I could just about figure out what you were getting at. And, to let you know there are a lot of stupid comments out there - this is YouTube you know...

[azn8o8]

this must be killer for ure wrist

[jbob19]

where do u get ur songs for stepmania from??

[ashleymuncaster1987]

jbob19 - Various sources. Google is your friend.

[nataliejewel]

yes it is! xD

[MegamaniaZX]

i gotta try doin that on my laptop (nice job btw)

[Ravenpaw972]

Is this on the computer

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Yes.

[PingPang111]

how did u set the communications to have in on the wiimote?

[iliketacofish]

How did you indeed?

~Y

[Gotmilk0112]

BlueTooth.

[iliketacofish]

How do you get BlueTooth on a regular computer?

~Y

[lucdanielaubut]

most of the time your not doing the right movements

[ashleymuncaster1987]

It's mirrored, and it is out of sync (as I said in the video description). Try to use logic before making a stupid statement.

And BlueTooth on a computer is painless - get a BlueTooth USB Dongle (about $9, maybe cheaper), plug it in, and normally Windows XP supports BT straight away. If not, you can always get BlueSoleil for all of your BT needs.

[DareDevilDogs]

dude love dis song

[LittleNinjaYion]

well, nice idea!

[ashliy12]

really doesnt work as you cant perform doubles or long notes (yellow step in which you have to hold your pose)...use a dancemat

[Jorisd]

I'm not sure, but didn't he just disabled the hold steps ('long notes') and the doubles in the setup?

[Firefly9531]

well you couls use the nunchuk ans wii remote for doubles maybe. that could be considered.

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Firefly - see the video response. I have done as you described.

[maplestory59]

i dont really like this idea(my opinion!!) cuz how are you supposed to beat hard songs like max 300 and AAA and stuff?

[ashleymuncaster1987]

A completely different scheme of difficulty would need to be put in place for this way of playing I agree.

[ElMicky2]

It's Sucky Play DDR On WiiMotes...

:s

I Do Prefer the DanceMats :P

[HylianLycan]

wow! I didn't even know you could do that! I'd so suck at it.

[thatonegeek]

It'd look really cool with a harder song. neat job on this, have you also set it for solo? That'd also be neat, but definetely difficult.

[ROCK5LIN]

i hate this song.....

[ashleymuncaster1987]

This is a tech demo, rather than me demonstrating what songs I like. The video response has different tracks that you might like.

[StrayFire]

YEAH!!!! THIS IS SOOOO COOL!

[LadyMiroku]

This is awesome! But I'd never be able to do it. I'm so clumsy!

[DrayneGames]

whoa, this is awesome

[HETSkippo]

:O nice :P

but like can't you do the 2nd arrows with the d-pad? id would be more difficult but also more chalenging :P

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Have you had a look at the Video Response that I have posted, which uses Nunchuks for the "2nd arrows".

[starpatcher]

ooo i love 321 stars XD

[StepManiaNoob]

Can you say carpertunnel?

[seenaazizi]

lol yeah hes gonna get carpal tunnel XD

[damman4president]

you guys are stupid he modded a pport into his computer to play with a wii mote

[liljapan94]

thats pretty cool

[joshuaboyt]

this isn't really for the wii. there is a ddr for the wii. it's obviously called ddr revolution. but this just stepmania. i have a wii and i would know if stepmania would be on it. they would have told me in the updates.

[ashleymuncaster1987]

There will be a DDR for Wii, but you're wrong in saying it'll be called DDR Revolution. It's called "DDR Hottest Party" I believe. And also, this is not being played on a Wii - this is being played on a PC with the Wiimotes as HIDs by Bluetooth. Learn to read the previous comments and also the video description before making such stupid statements.

[nataliejewel]

DDR Revolution doesn't make sense.

"Dance Dance Revolution Revolution"

Oh, and my friend has DDR Hottest Party. :D

[skiracer1496]

how do you hit jumps

[ashleymuncaster1987]

skiracer1496 & Matiasceronueve: Look down about 7-8 comments from yours. Your answer is already solved.

[Matiasceronueve]

how do you do when are two steps at the same time

[LuxaTheQueen]

i'm no computer geek but i've never even heard of stepmania. that looks so hard

[HALOMUFFIN]

Thats really neat and creative like holding down B when you have a Hold arrow.

[V4lkz]

wtf u do for double notes?

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Have a think about how you could do them, then read what I have to say in the Video Description. Honestly, it's not hard to read previous comments, nor even read the Video description, nor even read the captions in the video itself...

[saiyanzamu]

but at first rate, you could have demostrated in this first video how you supposly do the doubles (sorry for the comment)

[ashleymuncaster1987]

At the time I did not have 2 Wiimotes to use for the demonstration.

[saiyanzamu]

but in your other video you don´t use 2 wiimotes, you use a nunchuck, @.@ {confused}

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Yeh, because now I own a Wii, and thus have a Wiimote and Nunchuk to demonstrate with. Check the difference in times that the two videos were submitted, then you would understand more.

[heynowwilliamson69]

i totally have to buy a wii now...uhg

[TheNextBrockLesnar]

so did you download stepmania from the wii internet?

[heynowwilliamson69]

Noooooo

You simply set up your wii on your computer

look on youtube for videos to find out how to do that

then download stepmania+songs and then you can play! =D

[dggybiscuit]

omg....theres a stepmania for wii????????

i dont c them anywhere in stores..

[ashleymuncaster1987]

No, StepMania is for PC - all I'm doing is using the Wiimotes with a PC.

[dggybiscuit]

ooooooooooooh

kool

imm gonna try that nice vid

[b133d1n650u1]

how do you use a wiimote with a pc?

[ashleymuncaster1987]

You will need a BlueTooth adapter for your PC. There are plenty of guides on the Internet, and indeed YouTube on how to link the Wiimote and PC via BlueTooth.

[ashleymuncaster1987]

@ aznpidgeon234: This is StepMania, and those are DDR Songs. I have loads of DDR on my SM, as well as other songs.

@ Extraevil: Check out the video description.

[koitel]

Or you could turn jumps off lol.

[koitel]

owait you did. (this was kinda directed at extraevil)

[Extraevil]

hmmm how would you do double notes?

[aznpidgeon234]

this is ddr not stepmania, these are all ddr songs

[frumpytuin]

excuse me, ddr is way different than this. are you blind, this is Stepmania 4.0, and i have it.

[tonywwolf]

wha...it wold be hard to play gaussian blur or dragonforce in the wiimote :S...but funny to tryXD

[rollercoastersrfun]

How do i input the script into the stepmania file?

[ashleymuncaster1987]

The script has to be used with the program called GlovePIE. Then when properly set up the Wiimote motions basically map virtually onto the keypresses of the keyboard.

[rollercoastersrfun]

ok where do i get glovePie?

[ashleymuncaster1987]

If I remember correctly, follow the link at the end of the video, and that should get you started with all of the GlovePIE stuff.

[yamitech]

If ya use the nunchuck with it ull be able to do harder songs

[ashleymuncaster1987]

This is for the PC, not for the Wii. You are just using the Wiimotes on the PC. The theme is the default for the version of StepMania v4.0 CVS that I downloaded.

[HereWellGo]

How did you get the theme for this?

[HereWellGo]

How did you get a theme for the wii ddr?

[Roxasownsyou]

yeh it's good and all, but what are you gonna do for harder songs? :/

[wahrgelvskh]

OMFG

rox a lot

[mazew10]

wii remote and stepmania O.o???? wow pad looks more funner control kinda borin lookin =\

[luv4manga]

COOL! I NEED THIS!!!!

[Fox22Starr]

I suggest you use the glovepie with the other program (forgot name) and make it wiimote+nunchuk for doubles.

^^ Nice stuff tho, Gotta try it.

[FF7RLZ]

that is awesome, but a really irritating song..

[Kingdomlessthan3s]

id like to see u do this with hard songs

[banditZ1993]

THANX SO MUCH this is so awesome i dont get why people say this is fake itz so fun playing with the wiimotes

[koopanater8656]

am i the only one that reads?

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Jeez, can't people read past comments? Or even pay close attention to the video??

For doubles you need another Wiimote atm.

[moey1985]

and for doubles?

[hondommond]

this is how ninjas train for numchucks WAACHA NINJAS

[gilbadboy2000]

How would you Jump?

[fagbowsa]

cool

i bet thatd be hard to set up

[Saturn2888]

Awesome job man! This is a tech demo. Nice work though. I wanna try this w/ two Wiimotes so I can play harder songs. PM me because I really wanna try this.

[240SXDud]

wow thats stupid, what happened to playing the game how it's meant to be played and use a dance pad?  no wonder you are so fat

[ashleymuncaster1987]

240SXDud - this was just a technical excercise, to point out what is possible with the Wiimote in other concepts. And also, don't go around saying people are fat, otherwise they'll just escalate the insult back to you (I won't, because I don't want to go down to your level).

[BURNINATOR8]

Yeah....that would be a good idea but hitting jumps and streams is an impossibility with a wiimote. wii has USB ports so you can plug in a keyboard right?

[ashleymuncaster1987]

BURNINATOR8L: This is done on a PC, not a Wii Console. The Wiimotes can be used on the PC by using a Bluetooth adapter. And you could do jumps and streams more effectively with an additional item (such as a nunchuk, currently not developed in my script, or with another Wiimote, which is developed in my script).

[greekanilater]

how about useing my custom wii pad... its like ddr cause i use my custom wiipad

[zach0103xxx]

DUDE THATS WEIED BUT SWEET!!!

[ignominni]

It's good to see you kids are getting exercise somehow.

[ultravylant]

thats soo cool i would luv to actualy have it as a wii game

how do i do it?

i thought about someone whos immence at it and does like guru difficulty lol they would look like their having a fit

[ashleymuncaster1987]

That would be myself playing some 8 months ago.

[npbasketball3535]

guitar hero is sooooo much better

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Lol...: Read previous comments, and watch the caption in the video. And it's not that tiring at all.

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Killeryoshiguy: You can find a lot of information about Bluetooth on Wikipedia. Basically it's like a Wifi system, but not mainly for network purposes. You can get them off of eBay for about $15-$20 on average.

[bloodballanumba1]

imagine doing vertex^2 on Wiimote, or cartoon heroes

[ashleymuncaster1987]

You need a Wiimote, a PC, a copy of StepMania, and a BlueTooth Adapter for the PC.

[shenglong2000]

GREAT FAKE

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Indeed you are, shenglong2000.

[PaulandAmy]

Just make sure the battery doesnt run out in mid dance :P

[latreasure]

i think the matt's funner

[animeluvrv04]

dude this is pretty coool. i never thought you cold do this. thanks for the vid. =)

[ashleymuncaster1987]

godlikebeing89, I'll just say this: Watch the video CLOSELY and it will say that you can use 2 wiimotes to do jumps. Also, you could also have looked at PREVIOUS COMMENTS.

And c0okiesf0rsale, this is only a technical demonstration on what could be achieved by the Wiimotes motion sensing. It is possible that Nintendo may release something which has a similar mechanism to this in future Wii releases.

[godlikebeing89]

.....I hate to be a kill-joy....but....how the hell are you supposed to do jumps?

[daverandomster]

Break wiimote lmfao

[c0okiesf0rsale]

idiot youse the dance pad

[DraconTakemaru]

this game looks really ccol

[InuKH2Sammy]

I LOVE 321 Stars that was my first DDR song

[animeluvrv04]

i know i love that song too! ^-^/

[halohalohalo101]

This is so freakin fake

[Flound3r]

Lol no it's not. I've personally done this.

[stevie901]

they should make this with a Wii Mat, or something so you have to dance too, seeing the wii is all for moving, not only your wrist ;) the tv remotes more fun :P

so yeah, you dance with some other options, and you use the wii remote as you showed us.

pretty cool ;)

[DczeroAJ]

Thats really cool, I also made stepmania videos just today. Theyre not too good but please check em out :D So, ummm sorry if this was asked but How do you do doubles? :D

[DczeroAJ]

Oh im sorry I caught my mistake, Im guessing that jumps are the same thing as doubles? Sorry for the dumb question.

[SHINjuju]

this is fake, some of those hand swings are off key. you cant get fantastic score with ur not perfect defective hand movements. sorry.

good concept though. next time make it real.

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Read the fine print before making judgements like that - my description definitely said that there were some syncing issues with the audio and various video tracks. Also, try out the script yourself, and you'll find that this system is in no way fake.

[H0M3R0W]

pretty awsome dude.

[Flound3r]

I can vouch for this, it actually does work..

[moonlightstars430]

SHINjuju stop being jealous of ashleymuncaster1987 because he/she can do it and you can't. You have problems, and you need to shut up before your movies are fake!

[LNumberYo]

THAT IS SO. . COOOOOLLL. XD

[Blademasterxx]

that must kill your rist

[ashleymuncaster1987]

@ Blademasterxx- it can do, but you can change the sensitivity level of the detection script so that you don't need to thrash the Wiimote around.

[twista20825]

This is the most fakest shit ive ever seen b/c the wii hasnt copme out with a game from konami yet and its from stepmani b/c i have the same background and the movements sont add

[ashleymuncaster1987]

Wow, just wow twista20825. I've never heard of a comment that has been written by someone with the IQ of a pea.

Oh, and for future reference, Konami are going to release a game onto the Wii called DDR Hottest Party (I think that's what it's called), which will incorporate Wiimote motions to the standard DDR game format.

[popcornboy10]

yeah it is ddr hottest party ive read the nintendo magazines,nice choice of songs btw

[Flound3r]

No it's not. Read the description.

[popcornboy10]

dude i am talking about what ashleymuncaster1987 said about DDR hottest party that it IS coming out,read what other people say too jeez

[Flound3r]

Sorry man, your comment was on the first page and the one you replied to was on the second. Yes there is a DDR Hottest Party for Wii, but this video is Stepmania.

[dodgerboy1733]

ya thats true my friend told me. he said that u do the same thing in the vid but without all the scripting and crap. nice program btw
