Dance mat + Android TV. Any ideas?

by QuemasterBog

Has anyone tried connecting their DDR dance mat in order to play directly on the TV? I tried downloading BeatX app (a Stepmania clone for Android), but the TV doesn't even acknowledge the dance mat as an input. I think it doesn't see it at all. I'm currently searching for joystick center alternative that would be available for Android TV. Do you have any other ideas about what could I do?

Must not have any drivers available for it on android.

Isn't the dance mat just a d-pad.

Oh dang I didn't even think of trying this with my GTV. I will see if I can get my pad to work. Haven't played DDR in ages.

It'll work if you use the Dance Dance Revolution ISO and an emulator.

UPDATE: I bought a noname dance mat for Playstation 2 with Trio Linker converter (PS2->USB), and the TV does recognize when i press dance mat buttons on it. At first the action buttons were recognized as the remote, and thus pressing them caused opening netflix or android action menu, but after remapping them in Button Mapper (If it doesn't work, try ticking Troubleshooting>Alternative buttons) to cause no action i've ended with a pad that can be used for BeatX. The problem is that Left and Right or Up and Down buttons cannot be pressed simulatneously, and this is the problem that I don't know how to solve.
