Once you have downloaded the R21 packs from the site and extract the zip files, simfiles should be placed in the "In The Groove 2/Songs" folder on your usb drive. In this you may create a group folder to keep your simfiles organized, but simfiles will not be in these group folders on the machine.
The following are limitations:
- Banner and Backgrounds are not supported.
- Song samples in the song wheel are not supported.
- Audio files over 5MB are not supported.
- A limit of 50 Songs can be added.
When will the next series be released?
Each normal series is released in a 6-week basis; each special
series is released in an 8-week basis. Each series is released on the very
first hour of the scheduled Sunday (Pacific Standard Time).
Why doesn't DWI Extreme release its series
quicker?
The 6-week basis for normal series and 8-week basis for special
series were carefully determined when DWI Extreme Series was first founded.
Each normal series, with the exception of few early series, mostly contains
20 simfiles, which means for every six weeks, 20 simfiles are required to
be made for a normal series; or in other words, 1 simfile is required to be
made in 2.1 days. For special series (such as Glistening To Infinity, for
example), because additional stepcharts for the "GTI CHL" difficulty
are required to be made, 8-week basis is used.
Why does DWI Extreme only contain certain
music genres for its simfiles?
The genres of DWI Extreme Series are becoming more diverse
as the series continues. The genres of Hardcore, Trance, and Drum & Bass
are gradually introduced into the series overtime. However, DWI Extreme Series
still centers its genres around House music.
Why DWI Extreme still exists while majority
of people prefer to use StepMania?
The title of this series has no relationship with the simulation
programs people use in the simfile community. All simfiles in DWI Extreme
Series are compatable with both Dance With Intensity and StepMania. To find
out more about the origin of the title of DWI Extreme, please visit the "History"
section.
Will DWI Extreme ever make keyboard steps
for simfiles?
DWI Extreme Series was originally founded as a stepfile simfiles.
However, the type of simfiles that are closest to keyboard steps are the ones
from "Glistening To Infinity" series, which imitate the stepcharts
from the video game In The Groove, and which can be downloaded under the "Series"
section of this website.
