SM Download Question

GeeForce · Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2004 6:01 am Post subject: SM Download Question

I don't have DWI or SM, really the only way I play DDR on the computer is through FFR, and I want something more. Everyone praises SM, so I think thats's what I'm gonna get. But I have one question.

On the main SM site (www.stepmania.com) it says the latest version is 3.9 Alpha 20. But when I go to the site where you actually download it (here), it says there's a 3.9 Alpha 21

. I have never heard of this, can someone help me out here.

sometimes they upload a new version of SM before they announce it on their main site.

Keep in mind too that these are alpha minor releases, not major ones. So they are not going to be announced like a major or even sub-version release.

Okay let me rephrase my question. Does anyone haaaaaave this Alpha 21? Because I've looked all around this forum and everyone seems to have 20, so I wanna kno if I should go for the 21 or stick to what everyone knows and loves.

i think thats a problem with where you ran the install from.

I ran an install from my jumpdrive once, and from then on, it screwed up when i stuck my jumpdrive it.

try reinstalling from the c:\

I think I'm gonna go with 3.9 Alpha 20 since it's what everyone (except one person, apparently

) has. I'll edit or post back in here once I'm done to praise it (hopefully lol).

Wish me luck... Something always manages to go wrong when I try downloading stuff...

Ok I got it. Alpha 20. It worked fine, except it came with noo sooonnngggssss

. I feel like such a n00b for not realizing that was gonna happen. Soooooo....

New question!!

Does anyone know of any good sites to get songpacks of real DDR songs or at least individuals???? I tried most of the ones on the StepMania website, and StepMania Underground looked like what I was looking for, but none of the links worked

. The rest of StepMania.com's were either DWI, required registration, or just didn't work. Do DWI songs work on SM, or what.... I just dont know. I've said it before, and I'm saying it again.... Help?

sticky at the top..."the new and improved get dwi/sm or .crs files here" or something similar...

check the front page of that for links to all the simfiles you'll ever want. DDRUK has official simfiles downloadable through bit torrent. you need to register, but it is no different than registering for ddrfreak. and you also need to download bit torrent, but I'm sure you can figure that one out just fine once you get into ddruk.

EDIT: and stepmania is able to read .dwi files just fine. as well as .bms if you have any of those floating around

Oh goodie. I found some good .dwi files, but I didn't wanna like corrupt SM or watever.
