BandJAM's pretty easy to find:

There's also another GF/DM sim called DTXMania:

Pop'n Music - Feeling Pomu

bemanistyle.com is the only english site with any feeling pomu info including files and all that jazz. It's all in the simfile databese. We have some updates for it and like 200 more bms files for it to put up but we haven't had a chance to get them ready but there are quite a few Pop'n 8 files and all the pop'n 7 files that reo had the note charts for.

DtxMania is the best simulator out there, but for all the trivial freaks:

DrumMidi:

Perfect Beat:

SessionStream:

Salt's DrumSimulator:

There was a BM98 Drummania skin but the website died that was hosting it...

What about me? What about my problem with DTXMania?

EmuProphet · Trick Member Joined: 24 Jan 2002

Try a clean install of DTX mania, make sure you have DX8.1 (maybe even reinstall it) also get the latest video/sound card drivers. Also there could be background programs running that are disrupting your game.

If this doesn't work I'll try to find the beta patch .34e of dtxmania, I would give it to you now but like usual the dtxmania website is down.

edit: ok the website is back up. do a clean install of .34 then apply this patch: http://www.donburi.to/~from/dtxmania/archives/DTXMania034e.lzh

hopefully this can help

Thanks, it's working a bit better now (finally played through an entire song without crashing). It still crashes during songs with guitar notes, though.

I dunno if it's just me, but DTXMania is quite unstable. It crashes at a few odd moments, sounds play a bit erratically (sometimes in sync, sometimes not), and there are a lot of graphical glitches (I can't see the main menu!).

Is it always this unstable? Or am I alone?

what are your hardware specs?

Baby Bonnie Hood · Posted: Thu Oct 03, 2002 4:03 am Post subject:

Well, my PC's an AMD Athlon with 256 RAM, my vid's a GeForce4, and my sound's a PCI Audio thingy. Lemme guess, primitive?

Well I think BemaniaDX sucks because I can barely find any damn BMS's and for some of them even if the filename is the same as the BMS (except it won't have the [1P] or [1A] or whatever next to it) I GET NO SOUND!!!

Plus I can't find any easy BMSes with key sounds at all

Plus it keeps skipping due tomy crappy compuyter, and about 20% of all Poor ratings I get are blamed on the skipping
