at least this is what i think^^


I'll keep updating this post when I see something new.
Check back for more stuffs and feel free to comment if you want to request anything^^

The official website is www.stepmania.com
This game simulator is based on DDR which is a popular arcade game.


You might wana read a few guides from there if you are new to the game^^


Currently, I'm playing StepmaniaCVS 4 beta engine.
You can get the most of the starter song packs from houkouonchi's FTP: [[LINK HERE]]
DDR packs are for beginners and Keyboard packs are for advance players.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some of the sites you can click on the tittles for the website, songs, simfile packs:

www.otakusdream.com
A wonderful coven full of anime songs!!! One of my personal favourites.
They have a bunch of dedicated members and always keep the site updated.



Jubo Sims Collection (well, it's non-existent anymore after the site was shutdown in 2012)
Jubo [OtakusDream boss]
He had a gargatuan collection of simfiles which he hosts everything on MegaUpload.
You'll go crazy by just browsing because he had everything. Almost^^


But you can still find the Jubo's old sims at this OD link: Jubo's Simfile Page


zenius-i-vanisher.com
Another popular site for KB fans.


FlashFlash Revolution
One of the most famous site around the millenia. A big community there in case you need help and there are lots of single stepfiles to choose from. Quality varies though.



Mystery Pack
This is a surprise find when I was looking for the track Evans -DJ Yoshitaka.
This hidden SMG 3 is still kinda hard for KB players.



Pop☆candy
This cute site is in Japanese. They have a pretty cute theme for Stepmania 3.9
The rest of the song packs are more suitable for Pad players.


Midare Packs
This is some crazy hard shit step files that you can't attempt to pass even if you break ur 999th keyboard.
I can't understand why somebody would wanna play this online.



PumpHaven
And more individuals sims here.

Online Game Server:

There is also an official online server hosting the STEPMANIA games scores where you can play with players from all around the world.
Met players from many countries like Argentina, US, Korea, China, Taiwan, UK, Philiphines and some of them I can't really recall.

Visit the latest official site at www.stepmaniaonline.net for setup guides and more information^^
Register account on this site and start playing online!

For your information, the old sites 'stepmaniaonline.com' and 'stepmaniaonline.eu' had been closed down.

And also don't forget to read the wiki on how to set speed modifications [[HERE]]^^

After 1 year plus hunting for songs for my own collection, I finally found a good pack of Chinese songs for Stepmania. Weee~


Special thanks to 小岚岚的天空 (+hugsss)
I found the sim files for online game, SDO-X China server created by him.

Totally amazing RAR file compilation XDD Hope he publishes new songs soon.
Download it [[[HERE]]] and you'll know what I mean^^

It helps better to navigate because the site in Chinese language. But the download is easier now since the creator updated his files and separated the big bundle pack into 6 separate RAR packs.



TAKE NOTE:
Windows need to recognise Chinese characters for some songs to load properly because the some of the songs are edited with Chinese titles.
It doesn't really require a Chinese version of Stepmania to play though.
The English version Stepmania loads just fine with exceptions for a few songs.
Sometimes the song will crash the engine and you will need to reload again.

TIPS: You can try to rename the Chinese files to English names (or whatever language you are using) and they will load nicely^^

For the K-Pop fans,

Expi3nze is one of the sim makers for popular Korea Pop songs for Stepmania.
He had his own channel on Youtube where you can ask things from him there.
Visit his blog at http://expi3nze-stepmania.blogspot.com/ to download the single simfiles.
Mostly on Hard level.
Enjoy and have fun!

hi, based on information i have from arrowgene website, there's a solution to recognise the chinese words

1)google, download and install applocale
2)start that software
3)select stepmania from program directory
4)select simplified chinese language
5)at the end select "create a shortcut",
then the start menu will have that shortcut
