Andrew Wang: stepmania next, cause I couldn't get the pads to work. I think they might be broken
Arucard: hey i bet i know what ur problem is
Arucard: i bet you symlinked /dev/input/js0 to /dev/fd0
Arucard: >.<
Andrew Wang: yea. I so did that.
Andrew Wang: except NOT
Andrew Wang: def.
Andrew Wang: dude, that would be like...you write data to a floppy, insert and mount it, and thats like: left
Arucard: HAHAHAH
Arucard: its really hard to get a song cleared
Andrew Wang: yes. it'd be excellent.
Andrew Wang: you'd need 4 floppy drives
Arucard: no, no
Andrew Wang: and automounting. def.
Arucard: oh yeah
Andrew Wang: I think that would be an interesting experiment
Arucard: HAHAHA U SHOULD DO IT
Andrew Wang: step one: write a driver that uses FOUR FLOPPY DRIVES to emulate a pad
Andrew Wang: right.
Andrew Wang: step two: Make four floppy disks, each with their own direction, eg "left" "right" "up" and "down"
Arucard: hahahaha
Arucard: push in the floppys right on time
Andrew Wang: step three: play stepmania in linux, by rapidly inserting and removing floppies from floppy drives
Arucard: or a few seconds ahead of time
Arucard: cause it hast to detect and mount
Andrew Wang: step four: fail. and fail much.
Arucard: hahahahaha
Arucard: =D
Arucard: i bet u could pass
Andrew Wang: on..beginner...
