Had this idea on how to cheaply convert a shitty DDR mat into a usable arcade pad substitute. What do you guys think? Any potential complications I'm overlooking? Does anyone have a diagram of the guts of one of these 360 mats?

Just build one from scratch.
If you can weld. make a metal 3x3 frame. Get a metal plate, if you can get your hands on a sheet bending machine even getter. Use mechanical buttons under the pads to register the presses. Use the parallel port on you PC to read the output. Build a C interpreter and a driver for it so you can use it with games. Its like a weekend of work.

I can't do anything fancy like welding or programming. I have, however, considered using an Xbox 360 fighting game arcade stick, since they are basically designed to be customized and will have the advantage of X-Input in Windows.

However, that's another project further down the road. I'm just thinking about slapping together something easy/cheap until I can get a more interesting build going. (Will eventually try to design a portable one that folds up into a cube)

Fuck I made one about ten years ago. Can't remember exactly what I did but I remember there was plexiglass and it lit up when you stepped on it. Probably just made a little platform out of 2x4s, got a shitty ebay pad, cut it open and moved everything onto the pad.
