*   Visit http://winampddr.1avenu.com/ 
* to get the best DDR mp3s and their msds!
*****************************************


*****************************************
*               Updates
*****************************************
	1. Flame effect added. Cool! (go winampddr.1avenue.com to
see the snap-shot!)
	2. Little bugs fixed. (crashing at starting with an empty
play-list)


*****************************************
*         System requirements
*****************************************
1. WINAMP of course! ;) Platform(win9x, winnt or win2000) doesnot matter.
2. Your ddr mp3s(bgm) and msd files.
3. A Pentium II class CPU is recommended for better performance.


*****************************************
*             Introduction
*****************************************
    This plugin allows you to play Dance Dance Revolution 
in WINAMP.

    The most important of all, to get your ddr song played
using this plugin, you are expected to have two files: the
mp3/wav file and the msd one. Please note their names should
match. (kungfu.mp3 for kungfu.msd, e.g.)


*****************************************
*             How to play
*****************************************
    Before you start the plugin for the first time, you must
configure your MSD directory so that the msd files can be
found by the plugin. In Winamp, press Ctrl-K and select
the item named "Dance Dance Revolution for Winamp 1.xa" in the
visualization plugin box. Then click the Configure button. See
the WinampDDR Config dialog? Select your MSD directory in it.

    Now you are in ddr's world! Simply run Winamp, start the
plugin, load your ddr bgm and play!


*****************************************
*       What the hell is MSD file?
*****************************************
	MSD file stores the dancing steps in DDR games. Now you can
download both msd files and mp3s from my site at
winampddr.1avenue.com.
Remember, not all mp3s are supported by this
plugin. Those supported ones are only those "dedicated" DDR bgm
with msd files. 


*****************************************
*                Hints
*****************************************
	You can switch the diffciculty level during your playing!
	
	Simply click the radio buttons in the Config box. The game
level will be changed instantly.
