-StepMania FAQ
-
-
-The error "Your system is reporting that Direct3D8 hardware acceleration is
-not available. In most cases, you can download an updated driver from your
-card's manufacturer".
-
-
This means one of two things:
-
-
- - Your video card does not support Direct3D 8. If your computer is more
- than 4 years old, this is very likely the case. StepMania can not run
- without hardware acceleration, so your only option is to buy a new video
- card (AGP
- or
-
- PCI).
- - Your video card does support Direct3D 8, but you have a very old driver
- installed. You need to obtain an updated video driver from either the PC
- manufacturer (Dell,
-
- Compaq,
-
- Gateway,
-
- HP) or directly from the graphics card maker (Nvidia,
-
- ATI).
-
-
-
-
-
-The error "Cannot find Dinput8.dll" appears when launching the game./ StepMania
-reports "Direct3DCreate failed".
-
-
You need to download DirectX 8.1 at
-
-http://www.microsoft.com/directx/.
-
-
-
-
-When playing with a dance pad, the game doesn't register presses of Left
-and Right simultaneously or Up and Down simultaneously.
-
-
This is a hardware limitation of many PlayStation->USB converters. In
- some cases, it can be solved by turning on the option "Ignore Joy Axes" on
- the Input Options screen. See our
-
- adapter compatibility page for more information on this problem.
-
-
-
-
-The graphics appear blurred on the right and bottom edges. for example,
-"Stage One" will appear as "Stage O----" (blur).
-
-You probably have a Savage video card and are running StepMania 3.0
- final. Please download the latest intermediate version of SM, and the
- problem should be fixed.
-
-
-
-
-I'm using an EMS2, and pressing 2 buttons simultaneously resets the game
-to the main menu.
-
-
Apparently this is a know problem with the latest batch of EMS USB2's:

-
-
-
-Can newer StepMania versions import my StepMania 3.0 final high scores?
-
-
As of StepMania 3.9 alpha 5, the answer is yes. To use
- this feature, copy the file "statistics.ini" file from the StepMania 3.0
- final directory (usually C:\Program Files\StepMania) to the StepMania 3.9
- directory (usually C:\Program Files\StepMania CVS).
-
* Be sure that you have copied all of your songs over from
- SM 3.0 final or else some scores will fail to import.
-
* When copying songs from 3.0 to 3.9, do not rename any
- song folders. For example, if have a song in StepMania 3.0 at "Songs\4th
- Mix\B4U", the song must exist in SM 3.9 at "Songs\4th Mix\B4U". If these
- names do not match exactly, scores will fail to import.
-
-
-
-The versus, double, and couple styles aren't selectable. I see them, but
-I can only choose single or couple.
-
-Press Start on the 2nd pad, then you'll be able to select styles that
- require both sides to be joined.
-
-
-
-When I run StepMania on Windows Server 2003, I get an error "hardware
-acceleration isn't available".
-
-
D3D hardware acceleration is disabled by default in Windows Server 2003.
- This web page has instructions on how to re-enable hardware acceleration:
-
- http://www.msfn.org/win2k3/hardwareacc.htm
-
-
-
-How do I run StepMania on an Xbox?
-
-
StepMania will only run on a
-mod-chipped Xbox. For legal reasons, we cannot distribute an
-executable of StepMania for Xbox. See the the #xbins channel on EFnet or
-the Xbins web
-site for more information.
-
-
-
-I can't press more than 2 keys simultaneously. How do I fix this?
-
-
This is a hardware limitation of nearly every keyboard - both PS2 and
- USB. See
-
- here for more info. In some cases, you can get around this by
-carefully choosing which keys you map.
-
-
-
-Joysticks don't work in the Linux version.
-
-
Some notes courtesy of Aaron VonderHaar:
-
- - Depending on SDL compile-time options, it may only be looking for
- /dev/js?. If the system has devfs, then the joysticks may actually be in
- /dev/js/? -- I couldn't figure out how to tell SDL where to look, so I ended
- up making symlinks (e.g. /dev/js0 => /dev/js/0).
- - A common problem is that the necessary joystick modules aren't properly
- loaded.
- - There are latency issues with the parallel port joystick driver.
-
-
-
-
-When I run under RedHat 9, I get the error
-"libmad.so.0 is missing"
-
-
You can get the libmad RPM for RedHat 9
-here.
-
-
-
-When I run under Linux, I get the error
-"SDL 1.2.6 is required"
-
-
RedHat and Mandrake users can get the RPM
-here. If
-you're trying to compile StepMania, you can get the SDL-devel RPM
-here.
-
-
-
-I changed the CoinMode setting to "Pay", but now I
-can't get back into the options menu.
-
-
You can press F3 at any time during the attract
-screens to toggle the CoinMode setting. This will let you switch back to
-CoinMode "Home" and get into the options menu. You can also use the operator key
-(default is scroll lock, but can be changed in the key mapping screen) to jump directly
-into the options menu.

+
+
+ -
+ If you go to Start -> Control Panel -> Game
+ Controllers, does the list of controllers show all of the joysticks you expect?
+ -
+ In the Game Controllers window, double click on the
+ adapter and make sure that the on-screen display changes when you press buttons
+ on the dance pads. If it pad steps and nothing changes on the screen, there's
+ an incompatibility between your dance pad and the USB adapter.
+ -
+ If the above step is successful, open StepMania, then
+ choose Options -> Test input. Verify that the text on-screen changes when
+ you step on the pad. If StepMania sees input here, you'll be able to map inputs
+ on the Map Key/Joy screen.
+
+
+ StepMania skips a lot when I play. How
+ do I fix this?
+
+
Here are some things to try:
+ - Close all open programs. If you have
+ icons in the system tray, then something is still running!
+ - Upgrade to the latest version of
+ StepMania.
+ - In Data\StepMania.ini, set
+ "Logging=0". This will stop the game from writing to the disk during
+ gameplay.
+ - Force use of the the Direct3D
+ renderer: in Data\StepMania.ini, set "VideoRenderers=d3d"
+ - Switch to the Null sound driver: in
+ Data\StepMania.ini, set "SoundDrivers=null"
+
