The ouya works with my dance pad, that is for sure.

start works
up works
down works
left works
right works


EDIT: The source of stepmania 5 tar.gz is on their website. I think it just need to be compiled, for any linux system. Why couldnt it be compiled for the ouya?

please someone help.

Hello guys, i'm a developer of BeatX which is basically Stepmania for Android. Have you tried that?

I somehow ended on this forum so it's just a quick shot.

After a little research it seems you can install the standard Android market (http://goo.gl/xSyyEl) so installing and running BeatX should not be a problem.
It already supports dancemats, keyboards and gamepads + you can change the key/button bindings so i see no trouble there.

If you have any trouble running this just write here or better send an email to beatx( at )maniacs.sk, i can make a few adjustments.

And btw. double and versus mode is going to be added within a week so could be really fun to see it work with OUYA

Any chance you will bring this to Ouya or just sticking to working on hacked systems?

Well that depends on the amount of people interested.
In general i would like to focus more on the native Android version and better add new functionality than supporting a platform with just a few players (time is the issue here). I mean i have to go where the users are.

Don't get me wrong - i would like to make this native, there is just not enough time.
I will take a look at the monetization options for ouya (My ecosystem kinda depends on Google Play Achievements, Leaderboards, Licences, Ads e.t.c. - so this generates a lot of work for ports)

According to the video i posted it seems to be quite simple to get the android market working even for inexperienced people + the tons of apps from the market are worth it anyway.

Don't take this as a promotion, i'm just trying to help the guys run the game on OUYA, if there would be some issues with the game, i will try to make a fix.

Have you tried the game on OUYA?

No I don't root and I use Discover. It is no big problem I was just asking to know if you needed any help getting started with them.

In other to be able to get inside the "google play store" with an ouya, it is necesary for the ouya to install Reroot. You install it through the cmd/terminal, it acts as a patch that then allows more liberty on the OUYA. I installed and now I regret havening done so, because it didnt fit my needs and the google play store didnt even work'd.

As for BeatX, I'd love to have it on the OUYA through the "Discover" store. I'd like to even make themes and noteskins for it if its possible.

There is no way to "UN-ROOT"? Or why do you regret that?

I would be glad if you could make some themes for BeatX.
I created all the assets myself in Inkscape - they are all vectors - it's not trivial as you need to create assets for 8 different display densities and there are currently 43 images for each DPI
But if you would create the assets as vectors that would do the job.

If you wish just send me an email to beatx( at )maniacs.sk and we can give it a try.

Reroot works just fine. We have someone here who I call on as the "resident expert" on that subject since he's the one maintaining it and making sure it works. He offers help to people as long as they are willing to follow direction.

Anyway. Many people here do not root nor care for the Play store. Most of the games are touchpad games and all that and they'd rather not go through the headaches of getting hyped up for games that don't work or mobile games. I'd say 90% of this forum's staff doesn't root their consoles, not sure what the number is for members.

Sightlight has been trying to get this game on OUYA for a while and it seems like it would be a good game for couch parties and whatnot, especially since most of the big sellers are couch games.

I can't make up your mind but look at this section and look at the native games in the current game section. You can see where most of the attention goes to around here. I'm curious to see what would happen if this game was in the upcoming section to see the type of reaction there would be.

Hello BeatX,

If you brought it to OUYA with a demo and paid version, and I try it and it works nicely with stuff I like, I'd buy it.

Sorry, I don't use Google Play on my OUYA and have no intention to. Just not how I roll. But I'd be willing to pay at least $10 or more if it came into Discover and it was good. No need for leaderboards or any of that, just so long as I can play it single and multiplayer.

Hey BeatX, it is me Juan Montiel from the android app review on google play store asking you to release this game on Ouya. i'm also willing to pay if you release this game on ouya and if you need support to get the game out on kickstarter and have DDR, PIU, ITG and stepmania fans to support you, you can count on me and i'll let other fans know about the game.
