Xythar presents Music with Arrows

Hey everyone. I'm not sure how many people still read this forum, but I figured now that I'm trying to release new files on a semi-regular basis outside of competitions I thought it probably wouldn't hurt to make a thread whereby I chronicle the most recent developments in my ~6 years' work of setting arrows to music. Who knows, maybe at some point I will actually come up with a decent category banner!

There are already over 120 files at my category, so I'll just list the most recent ones. From this point onwards, all my files will have OGG audio for ease of play on r21 machines (most of my past files are still MP3 though, sorry). Files that are marked as >2min need to be length patched to run on r21 and will be cut off early on r23, sorry!

All ratings use the original DDR/ITG rating scale, though I made an attempt at working out DDR X ratings as well (available in the file description). When downloading my files, please download the custom zips as they often include extra required files such as video banners, additional backgrounds used in the bgscript, etc.

Firstly, from DDREvolved.com's FunkyMix:

I think this one is pretty good.

Coming up next, a whole bunch of anime files!!! I can scarcely contain myself.

21st June 2011:

Sorry, I meant for this update to only be a week or so after the last, but it got delayed due to life. I had some other stuff planned for this too but I think I'll do it later, I'm all anime-d out right now.


Hyadain no Kakakata Kataomoi-C / Hyadain (BPM: 90-180)

Next week, Resort Anthem!

27th June 2011 - Resort Anthem time!

All the below files are >2min and are r23 safe but will need length patching. If that sentence made no sense to you, you can safely ignore it.


Dances with Snow Fairies / Dr. Honda (BPM: 154)
1 / 4 / 8 / 9 / 12


New Castle Legions / Dirty Androids (BPM: 120-180)

DAYDREAMER / Pink Turbo (BPM: 195)
1 / 2 / 5 / 8 / 9

Next up is a selection from pop'n music 18 (Sengoku Retsuden), hopefully in a week or two. My definition of 'week' might get a little flexible here because I'm also working on some stuff for a DDREvolved pack and that one actually has a deadline >_>

As always, feedback is greatly appreciated!

Nice simfiles.
