@Bmurphy15 Try to check out your simfile if it is complete or not. or if you extract the file, it might have another folder or something there that causes the simfile not to run

[XxRoblomalxX]

[kevinkun]

@XxRoblomalxX Directional Buttons

[sakurafire0]

Where it says

"The package will be installed in the following Stepmania program folder"

The box is blank. When I do Edit Installations, I have to type the path but it never works.

[xxcurnuxx]

[Icarley999]

[kevinkun]

Never tried that, sorry.

[KingX0fXDeath]

how to start the game pls comment back? the song all rualette

[NightDaize]

In stepmania how can you hit the arrow keys that are like left up?

[XxSirBboyxX]

Instead of the game sending me to the main menu it sends me to a screen that says "No Credits needed to play game" or something like that...why?

[kevinkun]

Check the coin option first, if you accidentally configure it. Thats far as I know

[hotlink121]

re-install the game, that worked for me

[skittypokemon98]

stepmania opens in full screen..what i can do?(sorry for bad english lol..)..

Please help me! ¬¬..

[kevinkun]

Sure esse, follow these steps to disable full screen.

Go to:

Options-->Graphic Options-->On Display mode select windowed by presing arrow keys.

Hope that helps

[Kissmegoodbye001]

wats the name of the song¿?

[kevinkun]

Please check from the previous comments.

[ClonetrooperChowder]

Help I Downloaded stepmania changed the settings like u said but im confused on how to download songs on FRR. It wont let me open them only save them as .rar files or all files.

[kevinkun]

First, Click the simfile database beside FFR the ame then find you song in that page, once you found it, click the song title or the word "Click here to download (Name of song)" . If this isn't working, Check your browser if thathappens.

Hope that helps.

[lolosapalo]

i dont understand how to install song...T_T

[kevinkun]

You should watch the video first.

[lolosapalo]

yeah...i understand now...thx !

[kevinkun]

You're welcome :-)

[yomomasboss]

how do u download files for ddr?? i tried dragging them to the cd file, but it wouldn't let me install them...

[kevinkun]

Refer to the description, and you can get files for stepmania. And BTW this is not ddr my friend its stepmania

[yomomasboss]

true, but I already looked up any/all tutorials for ddr only to find they do not exist, not to mention that one of my freinds told me stepmainia files could be imported on ddr (not that she ever cared to explain this to me)

[mundonet3]

THANK YOU :D

[ponage214]

how do i do the installing songs for mac @_@

[kevinkun]

I'm so sorry, I do not knot how to install on a different OS.

[olrac1234567]

when i did this the file is still there

but the song isnt

wat do i do???

@_@

[kevinkun]

Question: Is there a MP3 file on your simfile?

[olrac1234567]

no i mean that like when i doen load the file

the the file isnt in the game when i check the stepmania folder the file is there??

[kevinkun]

Maybe theres a missing file on it or your simfile is corrupt. And BTW, did you put your simfile correctly?

[asdfme]

This is my first time playing StepMania and I was wondering what you, or what most people use as their arrows keys?

[kevinkun]

Commonly, you can use directional keys as a arrow keys but I don't know if you can use numeric keys as arrow keys.

[UltimateWario]

how do you put in backrounds for your song and banners

[kevinkun]

Sorry I don't know much about simfile creation.

[Zindalin]

Is it different when downloading all this on vista? Cuz i downloaded Stepmania and i did'nt need to do no zip thingy stuff...Uhh, Ok i just wanna know how to download songs to stepmanie cuz when i click download It just says open or save and when i go to save it to that there stepmania thingy well, It just wont let me o_O

[jazzmavrik]

wow loituma & caramelldansen!! gr8 vid

[PirateFan308]

I play on beginner and it'll only play 2 (sometimes 3) songs.

Is there any way that I can change this number (so each time it'll play more songs)

thanks!

[kevinkun]

I guess you should put all songs on one folder as far as my stepmania knowledge is concern.

[JeffBinsted]

Lol to answer your question. Lol you go to options and go to coin options then set event mode on. after that you can play as much games as you want.

[Zfjsdhfs]

After all that, how come when I went to the game to sync a song and it says, "no songs are registered"?

[kevinkun]

Maybe ther is no sound on your simfile.

[Ashpotter200]

Hey, add a Bemanistyle link to the discription. It might help the viewers

[kevinkun]

Sure. After I upload all SM tutorials.

[nightshizumu]

- Go to C:\Program Files\Stepmania\Songs (Sample Directory)

- Create another folder to use as a playlist.

[nightshizumu]

kevin ur my hero thank you

i just have 1 more problem i have the songs installed but some of the songs wont show in stepmania

& 1 more VERY IMPORTANT THING

where can i download the 1st song or wat is it called? lol

thaxs

[kevinkun]

Maybe theres a missing file in that song

next question

base on my research there is n specific song (or first song) in stepmania.

[nightshizumu]

alright thaxs i got some songs working

& sorry wat? wats the 1st song's name in ur video?

[kevinkun]

Oh the first stepmania video it is Dog Fight by move one of the openiings from Initial D.

Thanks for asking some questions.

[nightshizumu]

thank me? no thank you u helped me alot thank you very much

& i was talkin about the 1st song in this video could u plz tell me

but i do like the song u just told me its catchy

[kevinkun]

Okay the first song is Levan Polka (Basshunter Remix) and the other one is CaramellDansen (Speedycake mix)

[Ashpotter200]

Lol, the two annoyingest songs in the stepmania world. Where did you get Levan Polka by basshunter? I can't find it.

[shadowlegend12]

Yo, for some reason, when I double click on the .smzip files it doens't automatically go to installing a package, I don't know why, if there's anything you can tell me to help, that would be very nice.

Thank You

[kevinkun]

Question:

- Do you install your stepmania? If not, you can't open your .smzip file.

As we know that .smzip file is exclusive file for stepmania. So you need to DL first the installer before you can use your .smzi file.

[shadowlegend12]

In answer to your question:

Yes I installed my Stepmania.

Any other advice?

[kevinkun]

I know that after you install, you can extract the .smzip file thats what I know for now or maybe it is a corrupt file probably.

[shadowlegend12]

Probably, for some reason my computer is attracted to Corrupt files a lot XD

Thanks anyways though

[kevinkun]

Your welcome. :-)

[hiimnew121]

what if it was a theme zm zip do u do the same thing?

[kevinkun]

You mean .smzip files for themes. Yes its the same process as this one
