DOWNLOAD PARASTAR

PARASTAR is the spiritual open-source successor to 2000's ParaParaParadise. Built on StepMania SM4, with the help of AJ and the SSC.

FULL SUPPORT for the PS2 USB ParaParaParadise controller! Two-players! No special drivers required.

Via MEGA. Windows 7-10 | 38mb

V0.4 is the latest version I have been able to recover. It seems to work pretty well even on a modern 2020 machine. Noted bugs: arrows don't trigger on 'hold' and require a 'tap', sorry haven't figured that one out yet.

For legal reasons, there are no official song-packs for this game - but you might be able to find some on the #ParaStar discord .

No copyright infringement intended. This is only for personal use for those who already own music/videos. The original game is 20 years old and long since abandoned, plz don't sue.

CONFIG

Installation: Game is PORTABLE, can be run off a USB drive. Drop the entire /ParaStar/ folder anywhere, and run the game from /ParaStar/Program/ParaStar.exe

From the main menu, select 'Config Input', then use the keyboard to select the desired input (e.g, Up-Left) and then trigger the PS2 controller Up-Left.

Song Installation: in /ParaStar/Songs/ are four folders. /ParaPara/ /TechPara/ /TraPara/ /FreeStyle/ . Within those folders put your song folder with graphics and note charts. Note charts for non-Para game-type (DDR, Pump) will be playable with an auto-generated 5-key map.
