This version is based on the StepMania 3.9 rc2a release and includes most of its features. Keep in mind that this is a Work In Progress (WIP) version. This version is compiled with Visual Studio .net 2003 and the
K. Further some files didn't transfer here but I didn't have any problems with StepMania.
These files are still included but aren't transfered cause of the FatX system that only supports filenames upto 40 characters. If anyone find a solution for this that would be great !

Virtual Memory Managment:
-------------------------
Virtual Memory Managment (VMM) has been implented on this version with on-demand paging. This should solve most but not all out of memory problems that occur.
Out of memory errors can still occur becuase textures loaded by StepMania (using Direct3D) are not loaded into the virtual memory and thus cannot be managed by the Virtual Memory Manager.
So, if too many textures are loaded you can still get out of memory errors.
