StepmaniaX_v5.txt ******************************************************************* Updates at http://u62.terrestrialblasphemy.org ******************************************************************* This version of StepmaniaX v5 brought to you by Katze and Cybik ******************************************************************* Many thanks go to: To the Emperor, who deserves it: MANY, MANY thanks to Konami of Japan to have made this wonderful game, and for having thought but of the idea behind it : work out while you game! XPort ( http://xport.xbox-scene.com )for successfully having ported Stepmania to the Xbox The Stepmania Project ( http://www.stepmania.com ) for having conceived this resourceful DDR simulator The whole scene, without which none of this Xbox customizing would be possible Microsoft, for having made an uttermost powerful beast of gaming Microsoft again, for having made it so easy to hack with software security holes Katze (co-author) for having conceived the KatzeExtreme theme and backport it to Alpha7 for compilance with the Xbox Cybik (co-author) for hexing into the XBE and cut out some filename crap to get it to load up files with shorter filenames And any soul worth of being mentioned in the afromentioned who has - in practical - contributed to the package. ******************************************************************* WHAT YOU WILL NEED : - A working and modded (soft and chip alike) Xbox - StepmaniaX v5 original ******************************************************************* This package contains : - The KatzeExtreme Stepmania Theme, with shorter filenames (not containing redirs for the PC version) - An edited GamePrefs.ini putting the KatzeExtreme theme as the default theme - A patch file (patch.com) that patches the regular default.xbe of StepmaniaX v5 to comply with the shorter filenames. ******************************************************************* WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO : - Simply copy patch.com , the data folder and the "themes" folder to the same folder where you unpacked StepmaniaX v5. Then, run patch.com - normally, it would be in the same folder as default.xbe. ******************************************************************* NOTES : - Yes, we know, this "ridiculous theme file" is ridiculously big but we couldn't make it more compressed. - You can find the Max2 Announcer on http://www.stepmania.com - You should go on Katze's website for other updates. - You should be advised that this build MAY (well, i'm pretty darn sure of it) have alternative keymappings that put the "A" button as a confirmation (start) button, and "B" as a cancellation (cancel) button. Thus, you cannot use them as up-left and up-right arrows without having a keyboard plugged in to re-map the key mappings. - THIS IS ONLY A TEST PACKAGE. The hex edition might give unhappy results (as fscking your box or getting Jesus to take you personaly to heavens - if you are religious), and the theme itself is not of "final quality". As such, you may not be satisfied with the quality of this package. Cybik says : Dang, you should be, you have a green cool skin for your green cool Xbox!!!
