The Special Controller - I Need Your Help!!!

**Spin New Yasha** · Subject: The Special Controller - I Need Your Help!!! Thu May 01, 2008 9:16 am

Anyone else have the special controller for Dance Summit 2001?

I've used it a couple of times, even in games other than DS2001 lol!

.

From my understanding, you wrap these handstrips that are then connected via stereoplugs :confused: to the navigation gamepad.

It's kinda harder for me to use in the game, though; a lot of clapping involved Razz

A lot of clapping? Sounds like fun. Very Happy

A lot of fun, indeed lol!

, but I also have a hard time of memorizing where the cross/circle/square/triangle buttons are on the handstraps Razz

.

Come to think of it, whenever I use it, I feel as if I'm stepping X-cited + D-lighted

I was thinking, 'cause the handstraps connect to the controller pad through stereo plugs…

Does anyone know of a splitter that takes a 3.5mm (¼") stereo plug and splits it into four outputs? Ideally, it would be a single stereo jack-to-four stereo plugs.

I've been browsing a brick-&-mortar Radio Shack recently and the only relevant splitters I have seen is a single stereo plug-to-two or three stereo jacks. Close but nowhere near the cigar Neutral

.

If one exists, I could hypothetically use it to control four players simultaneously on DS2001 :geek: .

Of course, I would still need four Dance Summit 2001 Special Controllers. ~~Let's just say I still have less than four like most normal people who know of its existence .~~

Update:

Yes. I now have four of these things. I didn't think I would be crazy enough to buy even one, let alone enough to fill a Multitap X-cited + D-lighted

.

Three of these things I happened to buy from the same eBay seller, but all of them were separate auctions.

As you may or may not know, the way the controller works is that you put a handstrap on each hand; the left handstrap has the PSX Button O

&

buttons, while the right one has the PSX Button Square

&

buttons.

When the "Special" controller option is selected, the only buttons used in the commands are the four symbol buttons PSX Button X

, not the directional pad buttons. Thus, all you do in the game is clap your forehands/backhands like a game of "patty cake".

The handstraps connect to the gamepad via stereo plugs:

&

on the left jack (closer to the directional pad); PSX Button Square

&

on the right jack (closer to the symbol buttons)

I need to know if there's a splitting device that allows me to use one pair of handstraps on each of the four controllers !!! Hit me up if you know of such device .

Good point, which I suppose why it's not popular among Dance Summit 2001 players Sad

.

Anyways, here's a diagram illustrating something I'll need that I could possibly use to control all four players simultaneously X-cited + D-lighted

Oh my gosh.. All I can say is wow.. And thanks for the update, why did you buy 4? For fun? Or you just have a lot of bread at that moment? X-cited + D-lighted

Pretty cool, I'll visit your house sometimes and have a School Mates hand clapping battle on the Muscle Staduim stage interlude =D

Part of it is having the "Dance Summit 2001" search saved on eBay long after I got a copy of the game Laughing

I kinda found out that I don't necessarily have to use the clappy things to play as four players; I could just use the regular buttons on only one of the d-pads and sorta control them from there.

Who got the No.1 Dancer in this pic??

If only there was a way for the whole same-exact-score, same-exact-dance-rate, and same-exact-just-rate to be more consistent scratch
