I'm a hardcore StepMania player so this is essential for my DS Cart! I hope they will add other features later on...//

 

[Whodaimen]

I hope this used the touchscreen so you can dance fingers all over that touch screen. Just use your middle and index fingers as legs and its on!

 

[Whodaimen]

Actually not as good as I had hoped. Seems to have very very low compat.


Heres hoping for updates!

If the DS had a multi-touch screen, THEN it would be on. But as it is now you wouldn't be able to do jumps.

weird... my backgrounds work without resizing...

anyways, hoping for highscoresaving, on ds step making and a multiplayer in possibel next versions.

 

[Noitora]

Where can I find some songs for it?

How the hell do you press left and right at the same time (in the video)..

 

[g.crow]

d-pad and buttons?

 

[-GJ-]

Hmm, you could be right

..

Songs are all over the place. Look up stepmania packs on the main website, or check out the Keyboard Collabs if you are any good.

The backgrounds scale, as they should. No problems there. The problems are with its horrible compatibility, and lack of in-game settings menu. I would settle for no touch screen operation at all, and just a straight port of SM.

why should we "Use it at your own risks" is something wrong with it?

This looks awesome, considering how PSP Revolution (the Stepmania clone for PSP) has taken up so much of my life already. It'll be nice to see how good this becomes in comparison.

It loads on my R4, but only 3 songs come up... OUT OF 32...
One song works fine... Max 300.
One song causes the BSOD... Sakura.
One song causes gargled sound, but the steps work... Marisa Stole...

Why God? Why couldn't this just work like a dream?

EDIT:
THE CONTROLS ARE TERRIBLE.
Why are they not just standard up down left right...?

Meh, I was really, really hoping for a good port of stepmania.

Lots of flashcarts and homebrews say that, just simply says it isn't their fault if your DS bricks or anything happens. Which is not likely.


Graphics look nice on this.
And of course it wouldn't be DDR without "Butterfly".

You can edit the controls in the DsDsR.ini file. Anyway I've tried two songs I've made steps for myself and both work flawlessly. I wonder if the low compatibility you're talking about isn't caused by throwing the wrong format at it (not talking about the garbled sound), it says it supports .sm files only after all.

Also I would love to be able to use the Guitar Grip for this one, can't quite get used to having the arrows all over the place (and using just the face buttons for instance seems a little bit, well...).

I have PSPRevolution, and it's great, you can put StepMania songs on it. I might have to download DSDSRevoulution as well.
