Simfile Archive Keeps StepMania Packs in Play
A curated archive of freely redistributable StepMania song packs, with individual licence information, checksums, provenance notes, and direct downloads.
- For
- StepMania players and rhythm-game archivists
- Worth noticing
- Eight hosted packs contain 328 songs, with SHA-256 checksums and preserved author credits and readme files.
Field notes
The archive exposes pack-level metadata rather than treating downloads as anonymous bundles: song lists, chart meters, source links, licence text, provenance, and checksums appear alongside the files. One Club Fantastic package combines both seasons in a 296 MB ZIP, preserves the authors’ original art and README, and records a Wayback Machine retrieval date. The site also links installation guidance, terms, a catalogue, and a rights-holder takedown path.
