Where To Find Beatmania Simulators

[dougk_ff7]

Sorry, I shamelessly edited the original post to add info for Mac users. I did manage to get Aqua'n Beats set up (no clue on MacBeat Carbon... yet, and Aqua'n Beats seems newer), so if you need help there, let me know--I'll walk you through what I can. Help translating the documentation included with Aqua'n Beats would be useful--so far, I've been forced to use the not-terribly-reliable Babelfish, and then figure out what the heck their messy English means (assuming Babelfish translates the page and doesn't give an error). Also, I'd *really* like to get into the source code and change that horrid location for putting the simfiles... Shouldn't be hard, but again, just whenever I have time... Maybe we can come up with an English-localized copy of Aqua'n Beats (for those who care, like me).

THANK YOU GOD
love for the macintosh

if you can seriously translate aqua'n beats please update the thread and/or let me know cause I tried following the instructions you posted and the stupid program just keeps opening and closing
but I managed to get macbeat carbon to work just fine O_o

do all the beatmania sims only run BMS/BME files?

[Ultra Violette]

Yes... BMS/BME is the de facto standard format used for BM-style notecharts.

I'm having a problem with SSRMAX. When I open SSRMAX.exe, a large window (so large that it goes offscreen) pops up where I can change game options. From what I understand, this is normal. However when I move the window as high as it goes I can see three buttons (can't read what they say because the text is offscreen). The one on the left doesn't seem to do anything, one on the right closes it, and the middle one starts one of the other SSR .exe's. But as soon as any of them start, they crash. What am I doing wrong?

Personally, I've fallen head over heels for LunaticRave. It seems to be a cleaner, more stable, and more... eh, "precise," simulator when compared to SSRMAX. Figuring out how to make it run was a pain and a half, but it seems to have been almost worth the trouble.

Oh man, I totally agree. SSR MAX is pain pain compared to the others. I haven't tried LunaticRave though... I'm trying out BPM; but I've been using BemaniaDX... which has lately been giving me some background-sound-offbeat problems.

desperately need a new simulator
aqua-n-beats has no usb controller support ( or I haven't found it yet )
sometimes its a pain in the ass to have a macintosh but at the same time it can be a godsend D:

Aqua'n Beats is just a really bad simulator. Key config menu crashes the game, I can't find a mod menu, ugly (well schemes yeah, but the default just looks too terrible), you always have to exit the game to change hi-speed, loose/weird timing window etc.

The sync seems to be okay on most files I played and it's not THAT hard to set up, could be easier though. Thats why I'm thinking 1,5 or 2 stars out of 5.

If any coder cares, please work with the code, it's open source after all.

um... anyone has another link for SSRMAX? the one on outphase isn't working anymore

DESPERAETLY NEED A NEW SIMULATOR FOR MAC.
Seriously do i have to go out and get virtual pc or some other program just to be able to run SSRMAX/whatever's good on the PC end right now just to play custom songs
