DanceClone is a DDR clone allowing people with GameCube-style dance mats to play stepmania-compatible files.

It uses SDL and runs on the Nintendo Wii using the Wiibrew channel. It also runs on Linux for testing and development purposes (keyboard only).

The original code for DanceClone version 0.50 by ThatOtherPerson. Development as of version 0.51 continued by Carl Lefrançois.

Installation

Extract the .rar to the apps directory on your SD card.

To add songs, copy your mp3 and steps exported in .sm format (from DDreamStudio for example) onto your SD card.

Controls

Use the D-Pad on either a Wii mote, a classic controller, a GameCube controller or ideally a GameCube dance mat.

  • Added audio support and a song selection screen.

  • There is a menu to set some simple parameters with for how arrows should be placed when generating an arrow placement file for any song that doesn't yet have one.

v0.1 2009/11/28

  • Started work on the game. No audio and steps are randomly placed.
