i didn't watch it and i'm going to tell you how good my life was because i didn't watch it

(i forgot to watch it but caught the last 15 min. i'm curious to find myself unattached to apple enough to forget after most of my life of personal and professional interest. the phones look decent tho lol.)

THAT SAID, I've been working on a replacement to the SR/SMX software part, and it's easily modifiable to work with any pad; nothing specific to SMX or FSR.

If you have a pad in hand and don't mind helping me gather some info, I'd be happy to help you get this working with yours. Feel free to DM me!

The code in the Dropbox link above is specific to SMX pads only as-is, as it is an integration of StepRevolution's own interfacing software (i.e., the backend of the SMX config tool essentially).

hmu if you wanna try the prototype? 1p only and smx pads only for now, but both mame and itgmania available (mame only on windows).

making it work with non-smx pads (like b2l, etc.) is theoretically possible, but i need help from someone who owns one

i’ve been prototyping yet new input code recently. no more smx sdk; came up with my own solution using the same low-level usb library that i believe itg uses to communicate with piuio (libusb). it’s working quite well for me.

weirdly my home growing up had multiple minidisc players. they were very handy for recording audio in real time like you could with cassettes, but much higher quality. i don’t think we ever owned any commercial albums on it.

as far as i know, any smx pad will work fine!

this is where to download for now:

i made a driver for ITGMania on Windows that talks to SMX pads in a much more efficient way. hmu if you wanna try; i am happy to send.

any smx pad(s) regardless of gen should be fine

in 2000,
ps2 was 300

in 2001,
gc was 200
xbox was 300

in 2006,
wii was 250

in today’s dollars,
ps2 was 550
gc was 360
xbox was 540
wii was 400

450 seems reasonable enough to me. it is a bit expensive for nintendo, but not by that much. probably even would’ve been 400 if not for tariffs.
