PIU PC simulators?

[Zombiebanana]

I don't know if this should be posted here or in the other thread, so if I made a mistake, go ahead and shut it down. I was wondering if anyone knew of any Pump PC simulators besides Stepmania. :/

The only other PIU sim I know of is Kick it Up. From what I can determine, Kick it Up is kind of outdated in terms of support and popularity. It's hard to find information on it unless you can read Spanish or Portuguese, and pretty much every link I've come across to download it was broken. I can't find any screenshots of what it looks like either. Aside from that, Kick it Up uses KSF files for music. I've never actually played PIU, but the KSF files I've seen for Kick it Up seem like they're from older games in the series. I haven't seen anything from Exceed, for example.

If you're interested, I found a page with working downloads for Kick it Up and some song files at this Brazilian site. Just go to Copie under Kick it Up for the program, and Musicas for the songs.

There's two, Kick It Up, and Direct Move.
Both replicate the Pump grading scale instead of the DDR one, albeit a much stricter one than Exceed's(they go off the early PREX/Extra/Perfect Collection system, meaning you need all Perfects/Greats to get an S, and more than even a few misses will likely lose you an A).

KIU's not quite that outdated(I've seen skins done to replicate Exceed), but it can be a pain to work with at times, especially if you want the freeze steps to accumulate combos instead of just counting as one step.

At any rate, http://www.ph-online.net is where you want to be. They have one of the biggest databases of KIU/DM/etc. files around, and probably the biggest English one in existence.

It takes a bit of getting used to, but if you want a genuine replication of the Pump arcade experience, KIU's the way to go.

D'oh. I'm an idiot. I remember Pump Haven being mentioned on here now, and I actually went to visit the site and then promptly forgot all about it. Thanks cj iwakura, for being more knowledgeable on this than me.
