#Stepmania 4.0 install

What I suggest doing, if I were you, is install 4.0 to a different folder, and use the 'AdditionalSongFolders=.' command line in Stepmania.ini to tie it to your other Songs folder from SM 3.9 and test drive it a few times to see if you like it more. The 'Mini' mod appears to be managed differently, too. Either that, or they both do, but 4.0 comes prepackaged with them.

It also adds (optional, and often unutilized) support for other dance/musical game interfaces, provided your song has the appropriate related files. The interface is also somewhat familiar, but somewhat different/original. (Subtractive, for example, starts you at 'AAAA/difficulty*million points,' and then REMOVES points for less-than-Marvelous steps.) There are some abstract features, like the ability to change between 'additive, subtractive, and average' scoring methods, though the final outcome is essentially the same. This build also somehow screwed up the 'Extra Stage' function, which often ends with it glitching and crashing when played - so it's usually set to Event Mode. It also is known for adding support for 'rolls,' a different type of freeze arrow that requires repeated stepping, instead of holding. It adds a third 'Random' icon called 'Portal,' which is like a 'you can see what you'll be playing' space, which changes if you leave it and scroll back onto it.
