StepMania
Here will be links, or mirrors, to useful/rare downloads for the StepMania program.
Recommended: StepMania 3.9+
- StepMania 3.9 – the default DDR simulator. Does not support widescreen resolutions, Rolls, Lifts (4.0), 192nd notes (4.0), or online gameplay.
- StepMania 3.9+ Redux – patches 3.9 to include support for Rolls and Lifts (previously 4.0 only).
- CyberiaStyle 5 (Japanese) – one of the best, if not the best, 3.9(+) themes. After installing this theme, go to StepMania 3.9\Themes\Cyberiastyle 5\ and run “3_9_plus.bat” to add Rolls and Lifts to the Songwheel’s information box.
StepMania 3.95 CVS
- StepMania 3.95 CVS – Supports widescreen resolutions, Rolls, and StepMania Online. Supports widescreen resolutions but does not keep video aspect ratio intact, so I would recommend leaving 3.95 in 4:3 fullscreen.
Audio
- foobar2000 – Lightweight, powerhouse audio player. Use it to convert audio files (please don’t transcode people…), make lyrics files (with 3rd party plugins), or just play music.
- mp3DirectCut – Use it to copy, paste, and delete parts of a single MP3 file without re-encoding! I am a self-professed audiophile, and I hate the mere thought of transcoded audio even if the audible difference is negligible.
- MixMeister BPM Analyzer – If you want to make your own simfiles, start here to find the BPM. Note that the program will try to write a “BPM” ID3 tag to your mp3s, so set them to read-only before finding the BPM!
Video
- CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) – Install this first if you’re going to watch or work with anime video files!
- VirtualDub – best AVI editing tool. Use it to cut anime OPs and EDs out of RAWs.
- MKVExtract GUI & mkvtoolnix – MKVExtract GUI, when extracted to the same directory as mkvtoolnix, will allow you to extract the video (usually H.264), audio (usually Vorbis or AAC), and soft-coded subtitles (usually .ASS) from a MKV file.
- VLC Player – lol what? f*ck this sh*t guys, if you use this to watch any soft-subbed (MKV) files, you deserve to die. Your best only option: Use Media Player Classic which is included in the CCCP.
