The song select screen might not be able to be emulated, but it's not that great anyways.
I would love to work on a DancemaniaX 3rd Mix project. |
Wow, those are spectacular.
Oh, uh.. First of all to get Dancemaniax to "Work" in stepmaina I...

Extracted the songs of course...
In stepmania, on the main menu screen, I selected "select game" and chose "maniax"
Then in the main menu I selected "options" apperance options" then selected "maniax"
And this is what I ended up with 
The channels are a static image. This is really odd. I would have assumed that the notes would load where the channels are for one player default. But then again this I guess would be a theme issue. |
If you're still having trouble later I'd be happy to just plain Zip my Stepmaina with the progress and host it somwhere for you.
Again I would be happy
to throw money/help as much as possible at a really good dancemaniax theme. We just gotta find one of those hobbiest themers.
Like the Default ITG2CVS is my favourite theme ever (can you blame me I have 2 ITG2 machines
)
Like I can do asthetic theme things, and like positioning of things, The only thing I CAN'T seem to figure out is the target/target channels still.

For two players I would have to make the notes load simultaniously on the left and right, with the appropriate static channels. Though the notes load with versus mode, the channels do not.
For doubles play I would have to have a different static channel |
The Whole mode select thing with single, double, center.
Even the classic DDR song select would be fine, And I don't know what would be better, Beeing able to pick your mods before the entire Round and then pick the entire round(Like in Dance Maniax) Cuz I don't know how to do that.... Or leaving it like ddr, when you have to choose each song after the other and put mods on beofore hand. Maybe theres a way to hybrid both these ideas.
OH! P.S. Does anyone know a clever way of ripping videos from arcade machines other than my idea, Line out and run a screen cap program, because sad times would be had by all if the Afronova gorilla was gone forever.
