StepmaniaX - Stepmania for XBox - v2 http://xport.xbox-scene.com http://www.stepmania.com/stepmania/ Firstly, I'd like to thank the developers of Stepmania for making this program. It is truly one of my favorite things to play. They deserve all the credit for this, especially since the most recent CVS source code has preliminary support for XBox already. I just took it the "last half-mile" or so. I would very much appreciate it if someone from the official Stepmania development crew would get in contact with me via : http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?act=Msg&CODE=4&MID=29881 I'd like to merge the changes I made into the official CVS sources. I know Stepmania.com has a BBS/forum system also, but I am not comfortable giving out my email address to gain access to it. So, here's what many of you have been waiting for : What's New: - StepMania 3.9 alpha 6 sources (Alpha 7 came out just as I was finishing this up....but I just wanted to get this one out since it was practically done already. I'll get around to upgrading to alpha 7 soon.) - Health Meter Bar bug fixed - Sync'ing bugs fixed - MP3 bugs fixed - Default Joypad configuration maps to DPAD as well as A/B/X/Y - Keyboard support - OGG support - You can remap the Joypad configuration if you have a USB keyboard. If you do not have a USB keyboard, do *not* select the option to remap input controls. If you do, you will not be able to do anything (since only the keyboard is read on that screen) and you will be forced to reboot. Stella, Gnuboy, SMSPlus, FCEUltra, HUGO, NeoPop, DGen, Bochs, HUGO-CD, FMSXBox, Bliss, WinSTon, Gens, Z26X, StepmaniaX, PCSXBox, XBoyAdvance, DOSXBox, AtariXLBox, MirrorMagicX, KoboX, MaelstromX, MarblesX, Vice64X, Vice20X, VicePETX, KegsX... what's next? Enjoy! ----------------------------------------------------- StepmaniaX - Stepmania for XBox - v1 http://xport.xbox-scene.com http://www.stepmania.com/stepmania/ Months before the official DDR game comes to platform, I give you StepmaniaX! Please note that this NFO does not contain instructions for how to use Stepmania. If this is your first time playing with Stepmania, then I suggest you download the Windows version first. Consult the stepmania website noted above and read up on the Stepmania documentation. This StepmaniaX package will run without any modifications/additions, but it will only contain one sample dance song. It is up to you do add the songs you desire. ------------ Installation ------------ First, ensure that the StepmaniaX package you have contains lots of graphics and MP3 files. It has come to my attention that some very foolish people have been stripping my original packages of necessary files. They take out the /MEDIA directory sometimes or they will remove BIOS files necessary for emulators to run, etc. If the StepmaniaX package you downloaded does not contain lots of graphics and MP3 files, then *IT WILL NOT RUN*. All of the files are *necessary*. If your package does not contain all of the graphics/MP3 files, then I suggest that you download the Windows Stepmania 3.0 final file from here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/stepmania/stepmania300final.exe?download After downloading it, install it on your PC, then upload the entire Stepmania directory to a directory on your XBox. Now copy the XBE file into the Stepmania directory along with the /MEDIA directory. When you are finished, the directory structure on your XBox should look like this:
