nice to see you're having fun with it at least I can't get through a good file, let alone some piece of crap that isn't even synced properly.

I have a vague memory of reading that NeoMAX was actually the first level ever to have colored notes. I think the reason any levels earlier than NeoMAX have colored notes is because they were colored retroactively after the new noteskin had come out. But I guess people decided this wasn't such a hot idea and didn't color all the levels, nor did they see it fit to uncolor the levels they had colored.

Of course, it's been 6 years, so somebody may want to verify that.

if that's true, I wonder why contradistinction was the only one changed... hmmmmm

for some files that have patterns higher than 16ths (vizions, epic, etc), what's the reasoning behind not coloring the patterns properly? was this an issue with dwi, or with whatever was used to convert files for FFR? I also distinctly remember gradeus being all red during the section that's 12ths and 24ths now.

Contradistinction wasn't the only one that was changed. It looks like NeoMAX was released on 4-20-2004, while The Essential was released on 4-12-2004, and it has colored notes. I'm pretty sure there are a few more in between The Essential and Contradistinction as well. You may just not be that far along yet.

As for why certain levels behave as they do with the colored notes, here's a post of mine I dug up from 2007 about Delirium. Post of notable interest:

which is what led to red note syndrome on songs. most of them were fixed by Shash a long time ago, but a few weren't. Delirium is one of them. RATv2 is another. I think Wish has 1 or 2 notes as well.
This explains Gradeus, and the others.

grinding today and tomorrow, just got to Straight To Video

did anyone, back when this file came out, think that this was foreshadowing something? bland song (definitely not the first MSI song I'd step), and the file was really fucking boring. nothing interesting about it whatsoever. but a lot of the rock songs that were stepped after this were pretty much the same thing. bland song, boring chart.

foreshadowing only in the sense that there were more rock files to come I guess, haha.

probably not the first MSI song a lot of people would step, but that might be the only one for which permission was obtained. I think the notechart was also supposed to be easy and simple in order to be suited toward new/casual players.

i guess my thought was that it was needlessly repetitious. even if it was stepped for new/casual players, the patterns could have been way more interesting

also I'm really glad jx got better at simfiling because man some of his older files are... bad lol

Way back when, when I was first playing FFR, at the time NeoMax was the only song in the game with colored notes.

I never really thought TWGP were all that honestly. Yeah okay mega piano sync, kind of impressive I guess, also kind of not that fun to play. To each his own I guess.
