stepmania on a flash drive

[SithCait22]

How would i go about installing stepmania on a flash drive so I can actually play the game off the flash drive. We cant install stuff at school, so, theres a loophole, not installing it to the computer......D=

Ideas~~~

Put the Stepmania folder from your computer, possibly this on Vista:

C:\Program Files\StepMania\

Into your flash drive.

Open the folder on the host computer and play.

EDIT: I screwed up the link =/

Should be all you need:


Edit: I don't think you need the character folder actually, as long as you don't plan on playing magic dance that is >_>

Re: stepmania on a flash drive

I uninstalled my stepmania and reinstalled directly to the flash drive then added songs, should work....right?

Just move the folder into your flash drive. Stepmania installs nothing to the registry so it can run from anywhere.

Just put the whole Stepmania program into the flash drive and open/play it from there. Unless your school PC has no video card (I hate how my high school took most of the video cards out of the PCs), you can play Stepmania, no prob.

EDIT: You can just install Stepmania on your PC and copy/paste the Stepmania program on the flash drive, easy. It's all the same process.

i think its more like you will get your flash drive taken away. Suspension would probably be going a little to far, considering i did it several times last year and caught and all i had to do was pick it up at the end of the day.

Re: stepmania on a flash drive

OK, heres what to do. Follow the above posters instructions on copying it onto your flashdrive. Make sure you edit your metrics and languages before taking it to school. Make sure the songs you want are there. Then when you get to school insert flashdrive, copy files to the computer your on. Then REMOVE flash drive Now you won't lose your flash drive and you didn't install anything on the PC. Delete folder afterwards

Re: stepmania on a flash drive

I haven't installed a new version of stepmania in years, I just keep copying my old folder with everything I'll ever need in it. Do the same, just take out the extras that you don't need so that it won't take up too much space and so that it doesn't slow down anything (if it can even do that anymore)

Re: stepmania on a flash drive

Oh, double becasue I've played stepmania off a flashdrive on my friends computer before. It works just fine, but there is a bit of lag every now and then. Might want to be ready for that.

Stepmania off a USB doesn't lag for me, but there's an increased loading time when a song begins.

Just install it directly to the flash drive...Make sure you make a stepmania directory if anything before you install
