beatoraja-english-guide VS OutFoxWeb

8 note lanes can be hard to read for anyone just starting out on IIDX. I would also suggest giving BMS, osu!mania 7k, or even DJMAX and EZ2ON 6k/8k a try at home to start the reading brain training.

I also second Beatoraja and Lunatic Rave 2. Beatoraja is more modern, but can be fucky to set up if you don't know exactly how Windows locale shit works. LR2 is old as fuck and pretty jank, but it's been the standard for over a decade for a reason! You need to get your own songs for them though, they don't come with any defaults. However, the scene for them is MASSIVE so you will literally never run out of songs for them once you do find them.

p.s. bms is very accessible and the community is super helpful as can be seen here: https://github.com/wcko87/beatoraja-english-guide/wiki

It's all explained on this link : https://github.com/wcko87/beatoraja-english-guide/wiki

BMS (beatoraja)

You would have to install multiple programs. First, install LR2(http://www.dream-pro.info/\~lavalse/LR2IR/search.cgi?mode=download) or Beatoraja(https://github.com/wcko87/beatoraja-english-guide/wiki). These programs are use d to actually play BMS.

and if you google "BMS starter packs" there are a few good ones out there, including some listed on the github page for beatoraja :https://github.com/wcko87/beatoraja-english-guide/wiki/Downloading-Songs

Hey, if you want a Pump-style theme that's easy enough to set up on Linux, I've been working on Infinitesimal with a few others! It's an OutFox theme, so pump-style gameplay is a lot more accurate than what you'd find in older SM5 builds, and once the Alpha V update is released pretty soon here, the new piu gamemode it includes will be even better and more accurate than the current pump mode

They have the links in r/Outfox or you can get it from https://projectmoon.dance/

Play Stepmania 5 or Project Outfox instead

Got updated to match the MoondanceWeb above.

https://projectmoon.dance/ yeah the main branch of stepmania development seems to have moved.

I am running Outfox on Catalina and it works great: https://projectmoon.dance

I would suggest downloading the next generation of StepMania instead! But, if you have some proprietary reason for running 5.0.12, then I guess I understand.

If you're having performance issues I'd recommend trying Project OutFox (https://projectmoon.dance/) it will support anything from the current version you're playing, including the theme.
