Setting up Stepmania to look/feel like DDR Extreme

The first time I played DDR was on a 6th Mix DDR MAX cabinet, but I spent most of my time with this massive custom LED wall screen that housed DDR Extreme. So when I got a foam pad for home, I wanted to replicate what felt most comfortable.

I'm sure it's not pixel perfect, and there are probably some arcade features/behaviours I'm missing, but this setup is close enough for me!

1. Download Beware's Stepmania Extreme build (direct)

If you don't mind using an older version of Stepmania, you're probably good to go and can ignore the rest!

In this configuration, DHCP will run on the OpenWrt Box, while the TFTP server (the one serves the boot files) runs on a different computer.

1. Add to /etc/config/dhcp on OpenWrt Box

config boot linux
        option filename 'pxelinux.0'
        option serveraddress '192.168.?.?'
        option servername '?'

$ sudo fdisk -l (From this you need to find the device name of your physical drive that won't boot, something like “/dev/sdxy″ - where x is the drive and y is the root partition. Since I was using a software RAID, root (/) was on md1)
$ sudo mount /dev/sdxy /mnt (Mount the root partition)
$ sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
$ sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
$ sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
$ sudo chroot /mnt  (This will change the root of executables to your your drive that won't boot)
$ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg (insure that there are NO error messages)
$ grub-install /dev/sdx (NOTE that this is the drive and not the partition. try grub-install --recheck /dev/sdxy if it fails)
Ctrl+D (to exit out of chroot)
$ sudo umount /mnt/dev
