Do they use Simfiles in early editions of DDR?
I've been wondering, sometimes I feel earlier DDR games (like 1st and 2nd mix) are out of sync and somewhat too easy. I wonder if they are already using simfiles for the songs back then.

Re: Do they use Simfiles in early editions of DDR?
DDR uses a diffrent kind of simfiles SM uses obiously. They wouldn't be called simfiles because sim stands for simulation. They use stepfiles and as far as I know they're programmed into the game through code similar how the early simfiles in FFR were programmed in using Flash. However the type of coding they used back when '1st Mix' was around may have been less acurate for timing arrows as they havn't prefected DDR back then.

Back then nobody knew any better. Paranoia 180 was the hardest song in the game, and that was tough ****. 8 footers were as tough as it got.
As the players progressed, the game progressed, and people started realizing that the songs were easy and offsync, so they made the game harder and made it more onsync.

They didn't use sim or step files. They used .bms files if I remember correctly. Bemaniruler coined the term "Stepfile" quite a few years ago.

There were no hard files back then.
In the early DDR era (1st, 2nd, and 3rd Mix), the hardest you could've gotten was Ska A Go Go.
