using 2 of these:


self-explanatory?

if not... here's what's going on:

few days ago i figured i'd finally try this out. so i set it up.

by the end of the day i'd written a script in PIE that would do it (it's not hard, i'm just stupid), and as you can see it works great and it's fun!

so... i'm wearing 2 P5 Gloves... the PIE script tracks them and when i strike down onto invisible (logical) drums the PIE script triggers a keypress, which the game can read. easy.

what i used

Hardware:
Sidewinder SteeringWheel (just lying around)
2x P5 Gloves (these can be picked up quite cheap on EBay as well)

Software:
PIE - Programable Input Emulator (free)
DTXMania (free - download access requires free account signup)


what'dya think, neat eh?

I give you big creativity points but that song you were playing to be making me suicidal.

That was cool, but that song . . . what he^ said.

sorry i'm not a drummer, it's the simplest song to play on the tracklist.

i'll look for some other kickass songs. i have Blackeyed Peas - "don't phunk with my heart" but i need more practice (and it really tires my left arm, the left cymbal plays almost nonstop)
