Sorry about that man. Should have it out to you real soon!


I have a few more 573 based Minimaid boards on hand ready for purchase and shipment if you are interested. Quantity is limited and the price stable for the remaining boards. If you are thinking of making a purchase now is the time to do it!

Will the minimaid work with a Namco PS2 hacked cab? I'm replacing the PS2 with a PC, but wanted to make sure the minimaid is usable. (I have another DDR USA 573 as well I'm going to order one for)

Hey Phreakk, sorry I havent responded yet. I had filed your PM away while I was in the season of getting out the preorder boards and must have forgotten to get back with you. Ill send you a message when I am taking orders again which should be soon since I have the last of the deposits to get out this weekend.

derjuden - minimaid is in no way shape or form compatible or suitable for a namco cabinet.


Wanted people to know that now the major minimaid season (preorders shipped, etc) is over Ill be around mostly on weekends to respond to peoples questions and handle purchases. Turn around time for a board purchase going forward will be 30 days from payment to in hand.

Want people to know that all post preorder requests for boards will be responded to this weekend (most likely sunday). Thank you for everyone's patience!

Hi guys! Thank you all for your patience. I've been talking with some of you on PMs over the past week or two and a couple of you have even made a purchase (which I greatly appreciate!). I'm on tonight responding back to all PMs that I've received in and I'll be on some more this weekend too getting purchases secured away. Thank you agian for all of your interest!

i just hooked up my minimaid for the first time and i'm having trouble getting openitg or stepmania to recognize button presses from my pads or the buttons on the front of the cabinet. i've followed the instructions to the letter.. does anyone have any suggestions? the lights are all working fine..

Try opening notepad and pressing buttons to see if you get a response at all (letters). Your jamma harness might be misaligned if buttons aren't registering.

yup, unhooking and reseating the JAMMA harness fixed it! my new problem is that i get video output on the cab's monitor but only the color green shows up. i've messed around with the knobs behind the coin slot but turning the blue and red knobs have no effect, turning the green knob just makes the screen fade to black and back up. pushing the degauss button also doesn't help. any ideas?

That does sound strange.

Usually in troubleshooting diagnosis I recommend having the ability to test "if this is then this isn't" scenarios but it's usually based on what tools you have as a person.

First and foremost do you hvae another arcade monitor? If so test your setup on that. If the same thing happens on it then your graphics card or graphics software isnt performing well. If the setup does work on the other arcade monitor then there is a compatibility issue with your ddr arcade monitor.

I'm getting the impression that you have a korean machine possibly? If you have a japanese machine I can garuntee that the stock toshiba monitor works perfectly with minimaid in which case your graphics card software or hardware needs to be changed and adjusted.

What kind of graphics card are you using? Nvidia, ATI or other? For NVidia I know people have had to use way older drivers. You can try an older driver for ATI as well.


Does your graphics card port have to outputs on it? I'm almost wondering if you have a bad VGA cable. Might want to try changing that as well.

lol, i should have done some more fiddling before i posted that.. it was the end of a long night and i was at my wit's end. it was just a loose connection! my (nvidia) card does have two monitor outputs and the port that the splitter plugs into was just a little loose. it's running like a dream now! thanks so much ryogakari for this product.. it has breathed new life into my cab

I'd like to know if this device is possible at all to use under Linux. I've figured out how I would go about getting the lights to work with Linux via Stepmania. I know in windows the minimaid gets detected as some kind of keyboard device or something. I don't know if it would work on linux since I don't have a computer to install linux on to.

On linux the device will plug and play for button controls out of box. Lights however were not configured by our team. A few pages earlier there is a post about Libmagic which was configured by another team that is able to handle lights however I do not personally have an affiliation with them.


All messages have been responded to, all boards have been shipped. I'm back on a regular schedule at work so I'm hoping that messages will be responded to a couple times a week now and new purchases shipped every other weekend or so until I run out of stock. Thanks!

So, if I were using OpenITG under Linux I can't just add "LightsDriver=LinuxParallel" to StepMania.ini? Based on what I've read in the OpenITG coding and what not, the lights should work under linux when using "LightsDriver=LinuxParallel". So I shouldn't even need Libmagic.

You will have to use libmagic. From what I understand from the person that created minimaid was that it would take recompiling all of stepmania to get lights to work on linux with minimaid using the parallel. You are certaintly welcom to try of course but we stopped with getting it to work with openITG and Stepmania redux on windows.

I had a problem when not all the buttons registered in notepad.
I found that I had to load Stepmania that was patched first so that all the buttons were recognised (lights also worked). Then I would quit and when I run notepad. All the buttons would then respond. It's like I had to run something to initialise the board.

Other then that, it works wonderful in my EuroMix 2 cabinet Smile
