yes, you can disable it in the options. i'm pretty sure it's either in the gameplay, coin, or machine options.

while you're there switch it to event mode and disable the damn menu timer

Hey, I'm a newbie to Stepmania, I'd like to ask a couple of questions.

I have Stepmania for PC and I've only recently learned that I can put it on my soft-modded Xbox. Now, is there a difference in files in the PC version and Xbox version, or are they from the same download package off the website? Is stepmania 3.9 the same as Stepmania X v5?

If they are different, how would I get the required Xbox files. I read that there's a Stepmania.xbe file required to run the game. I can't seem to find the file online. Perhaps look on IRC? Or if someone here has that file, PM me.

Any positive feedback would be greatly appreciated. Have a good day.

-Jake

Nevermind. I found StepmaniaX v5 on another website. It took me a while but I got the site from IRC which was a pain in the arse since the server was so busy it disconnected me a lot. Yay.

I have a few questions about the new StepManiaX v12.

1. How can I move the arrows so the first & the second player arrows are aligned? The second player's arrow are too far to the right, so I wanna know how to fix this.

2. Is there any way to get rid of the "Hold start to exit" while playing a stage?

3. How can I change the difficulty on the Extra stages?

4. How can I get rid of the "Toasty" animation & sound?

5. How can I map the A button to press start, have it as a down arrow button & access the options menu like in the DDR series? Is it possible?

I hope these questions aren't to much. Thanx

Question for a yet newbie guy,

On DDR ultramix song selection:
I just press right or left to select my songs, and the game
shows me a sample of the track every new song I select.

On Stepmania:
I press right or left to see the next track, and the game do not play
this track, instead it plays a defulat music or something like that.
I need to press right, then start and right again, to see "really" the
next song.

So, I need to keep pressing right, start, right to change (and listen)
what wil be my next song, for all 100 sings I have installed.

Is this some sort of configurable issue?
Sorry for my poor english, folks!

Cheers,
C.

i have over 3000 songs on StepmaniaX Ver.12
but i have a question.
i've got the randomovies folder on but why doesnt the background video's show up.

I've got the same question also...I know this is a HUGE bump but I was just curious...I have XBMC installed on the Xbox and it'll play the video's through that...does StepmaniaX V12 not have the ability to play background video's yet or is the Xbox just too slow to keep up with them?

devlkore · « **Reply #112 on:** February 11, 2007, 12:27:00 PM »

Ok, I've done some searching and found nothing, but I'm using the latest Stepmaniax (v12 I think) and downloaded the character file as instructed in the readme. However, I can't get any characters to show up, I get the character select screen, but nothing happens during the game, any ideas?

ThanX, BYEEEEE!!

Background videos are not implemented in the XBox version. This is not something I'm going to be doing. All the XBox code has been merged into the official CVS, so anyone can do what they want with it.

If you have changed the screen size/position then the character placement will not work correctly. Reset the size/position to the defaults and they will probably appear. If they do not, then I do not know what the problem is.

Only thing we can hope for is that Xport sees this project as being interesting enough to update and implement features. I'd rather plug in my XBOX than connect my laptop to the TV

I wonder if the current version 4.0 CVS tree will be ported

I'm not going to be doing any more StepmaniaX updates.

I'd really like to get 12 to work since I can center the screen with it, but not 5. If anyone has suggestions as to what I should do here... by all means, suggest.

I had the same problem, and it turned out that I had copied BGAnimations and Visualizations from my LInux computer into the StepmaniaX folders on the XBox.
So in order to get the game playing I had to go into the options and make sure that animations and visualizations were turned off. As soon as I did that the problem went away.

I think I read (I might be wrong here, my memory isn't what it once was) on an Xport moderated forum that these features aren't supported and he isn't planning on updating StepmaniaX beyond the V12 release. So you may also want to just delete your animations and visualizations off the XBox to save yourself the time and headaches.

Hope this helps!

silent-circuit · « **Reply #115 on:** February 16, 2007, 07:51:00 PM »

Afraid I have no visualizations or animations, so I doubt it's that, but I'll try to turn it off anyway next I work with the Xbox. At the moment I don't have access to it, but we'll see. Thanks for making an attempt at the very least; everywhere else I've posted it's just been ignored.

silent-circuit · « **Reply #116 on:** February 25, 2007, 04:19:00 PM »

Still no luck despite cleaning out all the folders and doing a reinstall, then turning off animations/etc completely.

All songs continue to crash 5-30 seconds in, usually with a loop of the last half-second or so played, and I have to turn off the Xbox as a soft-reset via a controller does not work.

Since others are not having the same difficulty, there must either be a problem with your XBox or with your StepMania installation.

Basic troubleshooting:
Try starting all over again. Delete your StepManiaX folder from the XBox and then re-decompress and reinstall the files out of the StepManiaX distribution from wherever you got it.
Make sure it boots.
Copy in one song or a small songmix and try it out. If it fails, delete the songs and add a different small selection. If it still fails, re-download StepManiaX from wherever you got it and reinstall again.
Once you get to the point where StepmaniaX is functional, add one songmix at a time until your symptoms reappear or--perhaps!--don't reappear.

You'll either be home-free or will realize that your XBox is somehow very subtly hosed.

Cutriss · « **Reply #118 on:** April 12, 2007, 06:20:00 PM »

According to the FAQ, StepmaniaX isn't supposed to be used on X2-4977. This happens to be the version I'm using, and I don't seem to have any problems related to that (I'm hitting RAM limits though). Does anyone know why this is? I could upgrade to 4979, but I don't really see the point when it all seems fine.

SafeTinspector · « **Reply #119 on:** May 10, 2007, 02:35:00 PM »

I just might know where to get a working build of SM4.0CVS for XBox.

A StepMania dev team member might have made it, and I might send a link to an interested party who might send me an email.
