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!

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!

On the host

Ensure these modules are loaded

cat /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables

Disable swap

sysctl vm.swappiness=0
swapoff -a

README

The example below creates a TCP server listening on a stream (i.e. SOCK_STREAM) socket. A similar approach can be followed to create a UDP server on a datagram (i.e. SOCK_DGRAM) socket. See man systemd.socket for details.

An example server

Create an simple echo server at ~/tmp/foo/serve.py.
