Arcade Sensors are the same as FSR Sensors!? | DDR ITG PIU Dance Games

- I always see a lot of comments from people suggesting that Force Sensitive Resistors (FSR) sensors suck, or, arcade sensors are outdated technology. Not too many people can explain the reasoning behind the logic, but it's just a feeling they have when they play. If you're not sure what FSR sensors are, then it's a sensor technology that relies on force/pressure to complete an electrical circuit. In a dance game or rhythm game application, it can trigger an arrow or press a button. I mainly see them being used in: Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), Pump It Up (PIU) or In The Groove (ITG). The FSR sensor technology is widely implemented within the ITG community, while I don't see too many takers within the DDR and PIU community.
What a lot of people don't understand, is that arcade sensors are also a kind of FSR sensor, but not in the way you might think.
The reason the shift to FSR sensors started was due to a drive within the ITG stamina community to pass harder difficulties (But not at the cost of increasing physical stamina). This all came at a point where the game was changing, a new era if you will! Rather than lifting your foot and stepping on an arrow, it was noted that harder songs could be passed while sliding to the next arrow instead, this saves both: energy and stamina. This new method of playing required tricky modding when using arcade sensors as the inner wall of the sensors needed to be compressed for an arrow to be triggered. Some folks were slowly destroying arcade sensors with hard foreign objects (Like pennies) to make this work. Instead, by using lower tolerance FSR sensors, a very minimal amount of pressure was required to trigger a sensor. With the introduction of FSR sensors, higher difficulties were being cleared and the term 'stamina' became somewhat redundant, at least, physical stamina anyway.
A few FSR conversion guides were released to guide other players into converting arcade pads into FSR pads. For some people, this is where a lot of the problems started and why some people prefer arcade sensors to FSR sensors and vice versa.
The video continues on from here.
Enjoy!

Very nice
in theory would putting a long fsr sensor inside the rubber of an arcade sensor would they last longer?
@@Extinctay I bet they would!
Are there any good guides for FSR conversion?
I think the various guides out there are good at getting you up and running with the conversion, but the way the FSR is integrated physically seems like an afterthought.
Rather than protecting an FSR, I was looking at elastomer sensors, you can see them here at 0:40: ua-cam.com/video/mu5_qInDneg/v-deo.html
I'm not sure how much they cost, I haven't really looked into it much, but they look really good!
I guess Stepmania would "run" on a potato, but it won't run well. I have a laptop here with a Ryzen 4600H with an iGPU and it runs horribly. It's "playable", but you wouldn't want to play it. Maybe at 640x480 it would run better, but not at 1080p. This is ITGMania I'm talking about here. Maybe Stepmania 9.5 would run well, lol.
3.95 always worked quite well on almost anything!
Ignoring all the feature improvements over the past decade or more, there have been a few issues with resources slowly getting eaten up overtime. I noticed it during the bump from 3.95 to 5. Music slowly falls out of sync, especially on long songs unless you over-spec the system it's running on.
It's more like: It should run on a potato, but it doesn't... but that's for another video at some point! It's too big for a comment haha!
Hey man good morning
Good morning!
Did you know Bruno tonioli
Yeah! He's the guy that replaced david walliams on bgt! lol
