Does anyone know if I can use my old (playstation)PS1 dance pad controller(for Dance Dance Revolution) on my new PS2? I have not been able to find anything about it on my own so far. ---

Well here is what I’ve found:[DDR Freak](http://www.ddrfreak.com/) They have some pretty darn active forums, and appear to be **very** n00b friendly…I bet someone there will know. [hijack]I love this game, but I suck hard at it, compared to some. These damn kids in the arcades make me feel old.☹ [/hijack] Happy dancing!! ---

**d\_redguy** : Don’t feel bad. There was a picture of one of those kids in the paper today. He says he plays the game “for 2 hours at a time, three times a week” to stay in shape. My friend told me he once saw people playing DDR with their backs turned to the screen. Now that is hardcore. ---
