I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]:

Hopefully I did that?

Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub:

Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!

What DDR pads are those? Are they custom made?

They are L-TEK Ex Pro X. Shipped all the way from Poland!

They seem to work pretty well. Have been using them frequently for more than a year with no issues yet.

Is Stepmania still the go-to DDR clone? This is very nostalgic. :)

To be honest I've been using the same Stepmania 3 installation for decades. Never updated to Stepmania 5 because the step chart format changed and I didn't want to find all the songs again. I have not kept up on recent developments.
