I actually would get Stepmania 3.9, and if you want, v5 as well. I recommend you start by using the Stepmania editor in v3.9.

Well, there should be an option called vsync. I haven't used SM 3.9 in a bit, but I'm pretty sure it has that. Play around with that and see if it helps.

Also, if it doesn't quite fix it, try this.



Edit: So about the V5 install; Have you tried running it as admin, or disabling an anti-virus? Those might be blocking the install.

Edited again! Yay. Buy anyways, where are you installing it to? If you have it set to program files (the default place), change it. I have mine on the desktop. I think I remember there being something about not putting it in Program Files cause Windows is snobby and doesn't like it there.

Large delay before a key registers you say? That sounds more like a hardware issue than a syncing problem. I've never heard of latency issues for a keyboard that bad. That has nothing to do with being a "pro stepper"...see if you can find a way around it. I could be wrong though if your keyboard's responsiveness works well for everything else.

I also recommend downloading v3.9 as opposed to v3.95. Hopefully you weren't trying to do the latter.

I applaud you for taking an easy route.

I can safely say that you will get plenty of fun making your first couple of songs in DDR if you ever get it working, but the process of completing the song is quite time-consuming, especially for longer songs that contain no song edits or isn't a remixed version of the song (like most songs on regular DDR machines, ranging between 1:00 to 2:30 long.)

Also, there are only a few people that I can think of made good steps from the get-go. Pretty much everyone else had to learn what to do and what not to do from experience. I say you should go for it, and after a few songs decide whether or not you really want to continue making more.

You should be able to find your lost files in a hidden folder somewhere, but unfortunately I don't remember what it's called or how to access it, sorry :/

Your file might have been accidentally hidden in a folder called "Compatability Files". Windows Vista and up seem to do this sometimes for a reason I'm not sure of. If there are files hidden in this section, there should be a button you can click on called Compatability Files.
