I understand that a DDR sim looks very much like DDR and plays similar but what exactly is the difference between the two? I've never played one or seen anyone play one so I realy have no idea. Is it that the songs are different or the way you're graded? thanx  |

The underlying software is different (although on the surface it appears the same). More importantly, DDR is a licensed game produced by Konami. The simulators are some programs some people wrote to mimic the experience and provide it for free.

a big difference in actual game play is timing of the arrows, EG... getting a perfect on the arcade is harder than on stepmania

This brought to a thought I had, is StepMania legal? I mean there are the mp3s to being with. Then there is the perfect if not close to it simulation of DDR yet it is being distributed for free. |

Only if you set the timing less than 4, if you set it to 4 then it's about same and if you set it higher the SM is harder. I think 9 is like crazy hard. Think of getting goods where you should normally get marvelouses. |
