As always, I'm more than happy to share my hardware with in the name of open source software. Unfortunately, the most powerful machine I have available is a PIII w/256Mb Ram, and Diamond viper video card, DVD combo drive, and 2x 20Gb hdd's. If this is powerful enough for any of those games, your more than welcome to borrow it for the event. I've also got plenty of CRT's, but the largest functional one I have is 17".
As for the DDR matts, as far as I know there are no commercially available ones for your PC (I might be wrong though), but what many people do is use a PSX adaptor for their computers, and use a DDR mat designed for the PS2. I personally use a DIY PSX to Parallel port adaptor using the gamecon module (included in ubuntu by default), but you might find it better to get some cheap usb converters which I hear are also well supported in Linux. I can probably whip up a few adaptors for you if all else fails. - Andreas On 11/1/06, Tim Ansell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
