#Ddr songs for stepmania drivers

Open In the Groove (which I believe is based on SM4.x) added several new light drivers, the parallel drivers are still crappy but they're enabled, it also added support for the ITGIO board used in the ITG arcade machines as well as support for the Ultimac PAC-Drive. But Beware's extreme is based on the original official SM 3.9 code. SM4.x and 5.x also re-enable light output.

There is an alternate compile of SM3.9 called SM3.9+ Redux that re-enables light output and fixes a few other minor issues.

(the Linux driver has all the same issues but at least it's enabled).

And if that wasn't enough a final kick in the nuts is that the light output code is disabled in the windows compile to avoid a licensing issue that came up with the parallel port library used. It's hard enough finding a motherboard with 1 parallel port these days, never mind a mobo with two of them. SM 3.9 only support light output via the parallel ports, more-over the address for the parallel ports is hard-coded such that only PCs with a built in parallel port will work (since expansion boards use a different address), then there's the problem that there are so many lights that you need 2 parallel ports to support them all. but there's one problem and that's the arcade cabinet lights.Ī Background on the problem with Light Output and SM:īeware's Extreme, being based on SM 3.9 has one significant problem: SM 3.9 has a lot of problems with light output. This gets me most of the way there, the game on-screen looks like the real Arcade DDR, it plays like the real Arcade DDR, and I can manage my own custom song lists. ^astute DDR players will notice that is the Extreme song selection interface but that's (and a few others) are not tracks available on Extreme Most user created track files only included very high difficulty versions and are missing the light/standard level variants, so be wary of that if you're new to this Zenius-i-vanisher (or ZIV) also hosts a pretty comprehensive database of song files that you can use: įor User Files I highly recommend checking out the "SpeirMix" collections, they're very well done and similar quality to the originally Konami tracks. The benefit of course is that it also supports the ability to load up any StepMania or Open ITG songs. It's a nearly perfect recreation of DDR Extreme. I found someone who calls themselves Beware who had made a complete "Simulation" of DDR Extreme using the StepMania v3.9 Source Code.

The Ultimate goal is to have a DDR machine that looks and plays like the original arcade version but is capable of offering thousands of songs to choose from and allows me to easily add or remove songs as I like.įrom what I understand there's no way to do this with the original System 573 hardware (maybe there is some solution on SOWS but I'm not privy to it) Many people like to run Open In the Groove (the software that runs the dance machines of the same name) which is based on StepMania and is an open source knock-off of Dance Dance Revolution. But I wanted to load new songs on the game, play the entire DDR song catalog and more. $600 and a month of work later I had a machine that looked and played like new. The cab needed a lot of work but I got it for cheap money so I didn't mind fixing it up. but was converted to a bootleg copy of Extreme. I believe it had originally shipped as a 5th Mix in Japan.

It's a traditional 2-player "SD" Japanese cab (Commonly referred to as an "Extreme cab"). A few years ago I bought one of my all time favorite arcade games, Dance Dance Revolution.
