1) Who or what is a DM Ashura?

Bill Shillito, a.k.a. DM Ashura/DJ Demon/DJ Wulf/The Digital Maestro, is an Electronic music composer. Some of his music has been/will be featured in Dance Dance Revolution games for Xbox/360, including GO! (Mahalo Mix), an original piece by him which is in the songpack. If it wasn't for him this site wouldn't be here!

2) What is Stepmania?

Stepmania is a Dance Dance Revolution simulation game. Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) is played by stepping on arrows in time to the beat of music. The more accurate your steps are, the better your grade. Stepmania can be played with Keyboard or Dance Pad, and you can add as many songs to it as your hard drive can hold (depending on how long you want to wait for all those songs to load). This pack is an addon songpack for Stepmania (SM) and the difficulty of most of the steps are intended for a dance pad, so they're not that hard.

3) What is the Courses page about?

Courses are preset series of songs where you play each song, one after another, with only a few seconds' break in between each song. There are two types of courses. Nonstop, where you play all the songs in a row, and you get a letter grade at the end. Oni is like Nonstop, except you only have 4 Lives. If you miss 4 arrows, it's over. And instead of a letter grade, you get a percentage score. The courses on this site need the songs in the pack to work, and will not need other song packs.

4) I'm having problems downloading the pack, what should I do?

I have provided three mirrors from which you can download the pack: Filefront, Megaupload, and MediaFire. If the main download link doesn't work for you (Filefront) then try one of the other mirrors: Alternate Mirror (Megaupload) or Alt. Mirror 2 (Mediafire). If you still can't download anything it's probably a problem with your internet connection.
