Eh ok i have the stuff on my USB Drive... The sm files and the .ogg... was wondering i deleted the images files cause welll they said they arent needed... But when i run the song on Stepmania it gives me an error finding image files.. Will problem occur on the ITG2 r21?.. And also is there a way to test my songs to see if they work?

Let me introduce you to a OpenITG

Alpha 6: http://openitg.gr-p.com/full/OpenITG-alpha6.zip

Basically this is SM 3.95 with an ITG theme and additional aspects that arcade ITG has. The developers' final goal is to have perfect AC emulation. Right now there is already USB support. So you can put songs on your card and test it with this! You just need to config the stepmania.ini so the game knows what letter drive your usb is recognized as.

Oh, and the missing image problem will not happen at the arcade. You must be using SM 4.0, I've never had that problem with 3.9 or 3.95. But it still lets you play the song after you close the error boxes right?

You should be fine. if you have the sm and ogg files it should work in the machine regardless... but theres a certain amount of megabites that the machine can withhold i think its 2 or 3 megs but anything over 4 it wont play.

The limit is 5 MBs per simfile and 2 minute max unless it's patched only if it's not R23.

I know about the 5meg rule on the arcade, and I know how to fix it. I came across a simfile converter on the roxor forums: Roxor Games :: View topic - The SM2ITG Converter! Anyone interested?

all you need is a .sm file and a .mp3 or .ogg file.

on another note, I think the 2 minute rule might only take affect once the stepfile has started. I noticed when I play one of my custom files, the top bar that shows how far into the song you are will start when the stepfile starts, not the music. it might be something to check out, it might not, who knows.

[EDIT] I found a link to the completely updated versions of the converter here: RGCanada • View topic - The SM2ITG Converter! Anyone interested?
