[SM5.0.12] DanceDanceRevolution X3 vs 2nd MIX (v1)

Because he called?

Well, at least it's safe unlike sharing DDR Themes for public (and uhumm, arcade use w/o permission).

This is not directed at anyone in particular I just like drama

---

i'm fucking crying omg

---

Stop posting pictures of arcade data in public if you don't want to be sued.

Although I guess it's too late for that, seeing as the maker of this thread has already been doing it for the past few posts.

Lmao properly top banter by jindev

Alright real talk right now, I honestly don't know what to do with this theme right now. I want to keep continuing to work on it but after some thought and after reading what razorblade and ZTS has to say, I'm conflicted. I want this theme to be these best it can be but I believe I got too far ahead of myself.

I'm sorry if I came off as a douche to anyone and I apologize.

I'm not sure what's going to happen after now but I want to say this before the worst happens.

I'm sorry I got your hopes up and I'm sorry of letting you down.

If you only knew, TimeZone Amusement branches in my country has been banned for acquiring DDR and other BEMANI games, because some of their DDR cabinets were converted into SM5 with DDR 2014 theme by risk. They are everywhere.

to think that a stepmania theme for a game konami doesn't even support would be a loss of revenue
and not, y'know, the official simfiles for every song from every game

also, the arrogance on this guy
"Because I don't want to be the one responsible for KONAMI's loss of profit for sharing good DDR Themes."

---

That has nothing to do with making simulation themes and everything to do with arcades doing something clearly illegal (or at the least, doing something they should not be doing).

---

Banned how?

---

I can't deny it. At least I didn't say "best".

Alright, I updated the rules.

tldr, one wrong move and the project's getting nuked.

The funny thing is you just don't like not being the only themer with this kind of graphic sets and you're trying to pretend like Konami even makes money from X3, which they don't. Go back to jacking it on YouTube and enjoy the attention before this theme renders you worthless to the community.

---

I dunno. I only heard/read from a local DDR fb group page where I'm in..

Don't twist words. I said I wanted the theme the best it could be.

Not "This theme is the fucking best hahaha fuck all of you."

---

@Inorizushi, if you're going to release your theme, I suggest you follow StepF2 steps where the theme is encrypted and coin function removed using custom compiled SM5 build.

I mean, this IS the best X3. Wins by default because you can actually get it.

Alright, let's just move on from this and go back into hype mode.



2ndMIX Music Select has stuff now yay.

I don´t have any problem of using original konami data, they aren't selling more DDRX3 arcades, the only people making money with the original games are the resellers, also for a regular DDR player is clearly logic to check the difference between a real konami arcade and an stepmania DDR themed arcade, they are the real contributor to Konami, also if Inori won't release the theme with the dumped graphics, still will be a black market selling stepmania arcades, I've seen a lot of pump arcades using stepmania, those are more easy to "simulate" I think is nice to get a simulation near to the arcade machines, Not everyone has a machine near, or aren't distributed in their countries like in my case, the most recent DDR is an X2, only exists one, the credits are too expensive, and the machine is not in good conditions to play. Taking that in consideration I'll prefer to play on an OpenITG machine also I don't like to play in a encrypted Stepmania, I like tweaking softwares to my personal taste. Whatever Inori decides would be fine I think the proof of concept was more to show sillybear that he is not an "eminence" of theming.
