Default Need a Litte Help Getting Started

I hate to make my first post here a request, but there's no way around it I suppose. :V

So, I want to try Beatmania (never played it before, my foray into bemani games hasn't streched beyond Dancing Stage Supernova and DWI), so I downloaded SSRMAX.

After a bit of trial and error, I set the Compatibility to 98/2000, and cached a song. The program runs, but there's no sound, I'm not quite sure what keys do what (let alone knowing how I'm supposed to scratch), and after a while it crashed.

If need be, I'll upload a picture of the crash message.

I suppose what I'm asking for is a solid step-by-step to getting started. The Walkthrough guide linked to in one of the stickied thread answers a few questions on compatibility and caching a song, but little else.

Oh, and any advice as to how to not fail horribly at playing wouldn't go amiss either. :3 Thanks in advance!

I recommend you to download be-pachi music and then try to find in the theme forum the distorted theme

Actually, I did download BPM! after posting this, and I like it a lot. I thought the 3Dness would make things awkward, but I got used to it.

Hard game is hard though. I can just about manage 5-keys and scratch up to level 3 difficulty. Then I get overwhelmed.

You can switch themes and not have to use 3D anyhow.
