Added.

Also, SUPER EUROBEAT <GOLD MIX> re-uploaded and renamed the folder and/or file names to SUPER EUROBEAT (GOLD MIX), to remove sm and mp3 duplicates in zip file (as per suggested by Chewphoria). Original title display remains the same.

EDIT:

- updated roppongi EVOLVED Ver. D; updated bpm data to match BEMANIwiki data.
- updated bpms' place in Valkyrie dimension; still using BEMANIwiki data but with better sync.

there's supposed to be a link where we can delete existing zip, isn't it?

I already did deleting zip link of it many times... Duplicates can't be removed, even if it is a new upload of the same name. It was being confirmed as a weird bug in updating. Uploading a new simfile and renaming the title (different spelling) will only get rid of the duplicates.

Why there are 2 category of X2 sims?

The first catagory is songs which have already been completed and verified (because they already appeared in other media before DDR X2). The second catogory is songs which are works in progress.

Updated Mei sm file. Eventhough we haven't gotten any official data for VD (bpms' position in the beginning) and Mei (bpm data and position at near ending), I can safely confirm that these two songs sync at its best already.

And also in DDR X2 AC OFFICIAL category, I'm in favor of re-updating the sync of every simfile there. I also wonder why most of the "one bpm only" certain songs used two bpm change, and doesn't use numbers rounded off to ones' value. Of all the DDR simfiles I've downloaded here including the old mixes, this category questions me. Older mixes and DDR X2 unofficial category are ok.

Unless if they are the indeed original/official data from the DDR X2 machine, please ignore my request.

Those files in the official category uses the raw bpm data that's actually stored in the game data files, that's why there are always two BPM changes.

Can someone please comment on the sync of the official category.

Well for the songs I tried, they were definetly ok!

BTW, did anyone notice that the offset for Decade was off? The steps are late...

I heard that this value isn't always the best value to use though because songs ripped from soundtracks may have a (VERY SLIGHTLY) different BPM due to sample rate conversion, etc.

I'll try to have a look by the end of the week.

Except the ones in the official category are game audio.

OK that's good to hear. From which game was the step data ripped?

---

IIRC, Universe 3, and DDR X2 US.

You forgotten that some of the songs are from X2 US PS2?... I was wondering why the old style banners exist in the X2 US PS2 got replaced with the cropped jacket design?...

Edit: Ninja'ed...

If he got the step data off of a PS2 game, I'd like to know how he did it.

fixed.

Sync seems dead on for the most part, even, surprisingly, deltaMAX which has BPM changes all over the place and moves up and down wildly, which I found strange.

Some feel a touch early, like La libertad and Shine.

The part in ICE ICE BABY where it goes to 120 then down to 104 is totally off, but the rest of the song is dead-on.

Pluto The First feels totally off in many parts but that's just how it is. KONAMI has no idea how to sync the damned thing, especially with those awful steps.

Replicant D Action please.

And Roppongi evolved version D.

Here.

EDIT:
Theory of Eternity temporary mp3 added to category (much louder than anybody posted here, for simfile stepping purpose).
