In this page I am going to explain how to set up Dance Dance Revolution on your computer. You will need a dance mat of course, maybe a Playstation/USB adaptator, a software (actually, a game) and music tracks.

The dance mat

Obviously the choice of the dance mat is very important for your in game enjoyment. This part of the website is the most questions inspiring, that is why I decided to deal with it on a dedicated page:
Rendez-vous on Dance mat reviews. Long story quick, the choice is wide with prices ranging from 15 euros to 600 euros. Beginners will most likely choose reinforced soft dance mats: they have inside them a foam layer which give them thickness, stability and damp. They are worth their 40 euros.
Old mats used to require a Playstation to USB adaptator. I have a section about that at the end of this page.

Softwares/games

The reference for Dance Dance Revolution on a computer is Stepmania.
Stepmania is an adaptation of the game DDR on PC and Mac, free, open source, and full of features. Stepmania is evolving days after days, and has a huge communauty of players. The modding possibilities of Stepmania are impressive: look of the game with alternative themes, original game modes (like the hilarious drunk option), announcer to comment on your dance, video clip and more.
Very strong point, with Stepmania you can play on a local network and even on the internet with a world ranking system, just like Starcraft and the likes!
There was a long period of mess with several competing versions of Stepmania, but the release of Stepmania 5 has well clarified the situation. This time people seems to drop the old 3.9 version and switch to this (excellent) Stepmania 5.
You can have several versions of Stepmania (or Stepmania and Dance with your Intensity) on your computer and make them share the same song library. A good way to save disk space!
Click the image below to go to my tutorial about Stepmania. You will find complete info on this software and set up tips, especially for network play.

The (vintage) alternative to Stepmania is Dance With Intensity.
I love this game because it is the one I started up with. DWI is almost as features full as Stepmania, the user interface is brilliant, the announcer is awesome. What I really miss in Stepmania is the profile handling, far superior in Dance With Intensity. Very useful if several dancers use the same computer and do not want to mix scores.
Unfortunately DWI project stopped long ago, thus it is the same game than in 2003. Since then Stepmania brought its high res graphics and multiplayer, making it the obvious choice.
If you do not care about high res, go on and give Dance With Intensity a shot. Click the picture to access my complete tutorial!

In addition to the freewares DWI and Stepmania, you can find commercial softs, like the In The Groove franchise. I know very little about it .. because I do not want to pay for it! The game is based on Stepmania, but adds several gameplay tricks like the mines, the rolls (similar to the freezes except you tap the arrow all along), the Hands (there are 3 or 4 arrows at a time thus you must use your hands).
Contrary to Stepmania and Dance with Intensity, In The Groove features a mix of songs you do not need to download on the web (after all, you paid for it). This is much like the games Dance Dance Revolution 1,2,3,.. you can buy on Playstation or play in arcade. You can not add others songs by yourself.
In The Groove was released on PC, arcade and PS2.

There is a new french player on the market called Yasd. They developped their own Stepmania clone, Feetness. This is sold for Windows, Mac and Linux at 35€ with (only) 15 playable titles. What can sell you on that option is that new titles are regularly offered for download on the website, you even get to choose the new titles through polls. Well, the songs are not offered, you pay for them.

For the sake of completeness I should talk a bit about Flash Flash Revolution which is a flash port of DDR. You play online on a website, and you can only use your keyboard, not mats. Frankly I do not see the point but you've got to satisfy everyone..
Similarly the Stepmania team has begun to test the concept of Stepmania micro which is played through a web browser with the keyboard. It is fun to see how it works, but here at DDR PC Gamer we will stay focus on dance mat playing.

Musics

Last but not least, the songs. A Dance Dance Revolution title is made of the musical file, which can be mp3 or ogg, and a text file describing the succession of arrows. The latest can be either .dwi or .sm, .dwi being accepted by both Stepmania and Dance With Intensity and .sm only by Stepmania.
In addition you can find pictures or even video clip to be displayed in the background during the play. The important thing is, all these elements must be gathered in one folder. More on that in my pages devoted to the softwares, and in the Create your DWIs section.

Stepmania and Dance With Intensity do not come with any song pre-installed; you've got to look for it on the web. To begin with, check my page Dance school out, I give a few titles direct download. Then you should head to the Links and build your collection. New titles are released every day, you can even do yours as I explain it here!!

TV and Hi-Fi outputs

Maybe you own a big TV screen you would like to use for your DDR session, or even an overhead projector with which you could set up huge DDR parties. Good idea! But watch the image/sound/mats synchro!! Most of the time it is a bad idea to use your TV for sound output: the sound signal would go through additional electronic circuits, being delayed in the process. Instead of hitting a Perfect timing, you would end up with mediocre Good.
That's a DDR golden rule: always choose the shortest route between your computer and your ears, so plug the speakers directly to your computer. Even sound cards processing like equalizing can sometimes induce a delay. Personally I own a Hi-fi receiver with HDMI input to process the sound coming from the PC and HDMI output to bring the video to the TV. Everything works nicely in this configuration. Previously I used the optical input (Toslink) which is fine too.
However, the newest versions of Stepmania lets you calibrate your audio sync so now you can make up for a not-so-perfect audio configuration. But the set up is not so easy. See Stepmania, 'calibrate audio sync'.

The adaptator (now deprecated)

Why an adaptator? A couple of years ago, most mats available were designed for the Playstation1/2. Purchasing a Playstation/USB adaptator was a must, but this is not the case anymore.
The dance mats deluxe ignition dance pad features in its 3in1 installment connectors you can directly plug into your PS2, Xbox or PC, then many mats followed this path. If you are equipping today for DDR, you should not worry about adaptators.

BEWARE! Lots of adaptators are on the market, but only one is well suited to dance mats: EMS USB 2, and you can plug two mats with it. According to the official website , other adaptators can work but I personally know only about the EMS.

Why this one? The trick is, directional arrows are dealt with as independent boutons, not as axis. Try to press simultaneously up and down with an axis.. does not work.

Where can I get it? On the web, as a (french) example on fl-games. Price is 16€50 plus shipping.

Coupled with the advanced feature set of the new Serato DJ software, it provides the best combination for Digital DJs. Pioneer ddj sx drivers. Serato is proud to announce the launch of Serato DJ 1.0 for the Pioneer DDJ SX, our newest DJ software for professional DJs.The most advanced all-in-one DJ controller to date, the DDJ-SX is loaded with features and is built to the same high standard that DJs have come to expect from Pioneer.

How do I have it work? EMS USB2 needs a driver, download here. Just double click the exe to set it up.
Beware: There is a little swich on the adaptator, it MUST be on 'PC' and not on 'game' or else Windows is lost. Classical trap :D
Once the driver is set up, and the adaptator plugged, check in the setting panel, game controllers that 'axis 4 button 16 joypad' appears twice. If not, check the switch,plug/unplug, or reboot.

Installing memory

The internal components of your iMac can be warm. If you've been using your iMac, wait ten minutes after shutting it down to let the internal components cool.

After you shut down your iMac and give it time to cool, follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the power cord and all other cables from your computer.
2. Place a soft, clean towel or cloth on the desk or other flat surface to prevent scratching the display.
3. Hold the sides of the computer and slowly lay the computer face-down on the towel or cloth.
4. Open the memory compartment door by pressing the small grey button located just above the AC power port:
5. The memory compartment door will open as the button is pushed in. Remove the compartment door and set it aside:
6. A diagram on the underside of the compartment door shows the memory cage levers and the orientation of the DIMM. Locate the two levers on the right and left sides of the memory cage. Push the two levers outward to release the memory cage:
7. After the memory cage is released, pull the memory cage levers toward you, allowing access to each DIMM slot.
8. Remove a DIMM by pulling the module straight up and out. Note the location of the notch on the bottom of the DIMM. When reinstalling DIMMs, the notch must be oriented correctly or the DIMM won't fully insert:
9. Replace or install a DIMM by setting it down into the slot and pressing firmly until you feel the DIMM click into the slot. When you insert a DIMM, make sure to align the notch on the DIMM to the DIMM slot. Find your model below for specific installation instructions and notch locations:
   • iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020) DIMMs have a notch on the bottom, slightly left of the middle. If your DIMMs are mixed in capacity, minimize the capacity difference between Channel A (slots 1 and 2) and Channel B (slots 3 and 4) when possible.
     
   • iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019) DIMMs have a notch on the bottom, slightly left of the middle:
