There is a plugin for SM that can make it so it supports Beatmania, I'll try to find it for you.

edit---Sorry, the site is shut down now.

There's also bm98, but american support for it is really low. =(

O yea, and there's O2Jam and DJMax, but they're online only games and you can't make your own sims for them.

RDM is the only good one. Google RDM m-g-z and you should find it. Look for 1.72 .

Download SSRMAX. I've tried almost every single Beatmania sim out there. SSRMAX isn't perfect but it will hold people over until SM 4.0 comes along.

Mini-reviews:

SSRMAX: Has two versions: Japanese and English. The english one won't work for me at all, so I use the Japanese one. It has a smooth framerate. It can't save scores though, and not all of the sorting methods shown can be actually used. It also has some weird things that cause it to crash (like pressing the change difficulty button on a folder name). It can only use wav. BMS files. There are themes for this one, but it always crashes when I use a different theme.

BMDX: This one is my second best choice. Can only hold 200 songs unless you mod the folder configuration. Framerate is good, but it isn't the best. Has the most skins to customize it with.

Mixwaver: Framerate is way too slow. I tried it, and I only got about 5 FPS max out of this thing.

Nazobmplay: Has the same problems as the above. Horrendous framerates.

Rhythm-it: Has a lot of modes, but it takes forever to load, and has terrible framerates.

Delight Delight Reduplication: This is actually a Stepmania-esque program that has full BMS support. It still has a rediculously slow framerate.

Be-Pachi Music Mini: This has the best framerate out of all the BM simulators, but only has 5-key support and no full-screen. Has a cool groove radar thingy which maps a song out.

Be-Pachi Music: This is a unique one; it has you playing a BMS file on an Amplitude-esque runway. The only thing I don't like about this one is the fact that it's Japanese character support is terrible.

Keymania: I never got it to work at all. Anyone else know how to start it?

BMiP: Similar to Be-Pachi Music Mini. I haven't actually tried it, though.

BM98 is the only BM sim that I can't find a download link for. I think it was the first BM simulator, but I'm not sure.

I ultimately suggest SSRMAX. It's not perfect, but has full 5, 7, 10, and 14 key support, and looks cool to boot. When SM 4.0 comes out, though, I'll for sure flip to that one.
