Game Configuration
Configuration
- Press F3 to open PumpSanity Configuration: Use this section to edit almost every option in this game.
- On PumpSanity Configuration: Use your arrows to navigate and press Enter to select.
- Press F1 to open the service Menu: This is the same as PumpSanity configuration, but with less options.
- On Service Menu: Press F1 to navigate, and F2 to select an option.
Profiles

Calibration/Sync
- Go into PumpSanity configuration > Calibration/Sync.
- If you think you made a bad calibration, delete the file Preferences.ini from /Save/ folder.
- Deleting the file Preferences.ini will delete every option that you changed from PumpSanity Configuration.
The game will let you create a new profile and change the language the first time you start it.
Video Card Configuration
Nvidia
- Open Nvidia Control Panel
- Select 'Manage 3D settings' from 3D Settings
- Search for 'Low Latency Mode' and set it to On
- If you are under low graphic card and/or old video driver, search 'Maximum pre-rendered frames' and set it to 1
These changes can improve the lag input and perfomance in game, but remember: old video cards have weird perfomance with new/updated drivers and may this change will not make any effect in game.
Search & choose the driver version that adjust the best to your video card.
For example: GTX 760 works good with 384.76 driver. ('Maximum pre-rendered frames' option works)
Warning
You can also disable VSYNC 'Vertical Sync' in game, although we recommend to play the game under stable 60 fps. Arcade works under these frames per second. If you play under more/less than 60 fps, you will encounter a laggy or a super-ultra smooth gameplay and frame time that may feel different than the original game. You have been warned!

.ssc.ext Files (PumpSanity UCS extensions)
You can now create new steps and share only your step with your
friends. This only works if you are using our SongPack (JUMP,
MOBILE,RIO,PRO,PRO2,INFINITY,1STPERFECT,EXTRA-PREX3,EXCEED ZERO,NX-NXA,FIESTA,FIESTAEX,FIESTA2,PRIME,PRIME2,XX,PUMPSANITY) ,
once you create the step from the editor, the game will create
a file in the song folder with an extension file (*.SSC.EXT)
that you can send to your friends. Your friends should also use
our SongPack.
*.UCS File support
We are giving support to *.UCS files converting it to our UCS
EXT format. In order to avoid problems you should follow these
steps. Your original ucs file will not be edited or deleted by
the game.
Steps:
- Copy your *.ucs file to the song folder that you are looking for. (Example: Toccata from NX-NXA)
- Start the game. Once the first load finished, the game will
create a ssc.ext file based on your UCS. The game will now use
the extension ssc file (*.ssc.ext), if its not. Reload Songs from
PumpSanity Options
- Open Step Editor, and now you can edit the chart and their
properties. Remember to delete the *.UCS file to avoid overwritten
issues
Warning
GhostHold Effect is not supported and will be taken as Hold in the game.
ssc.ext will work properly with a main *.ssc file, because they are just extensions. Even so, you can use only ssc.ext files and play, but you have been warned.
You will use this feature under your own responsibility, remember that you can also open this file with notepad, so go ahead and have fun!
PIUIO support
We have an experimental PIUIO internal driver that you can try. In order to make it work you should follow these steps:
Steps
- Uninstall IO2Key (In case you have it)
- Download Zadig from here
- Select your correct input device and select “WINUSB Driver”
- Click “Install Driver”.
- Once you start PumpSanity, the game should connect automatically to the dance
Double Display Perspective
Both StepMania and K-Pump draw note arrows in 3D space. The effect of this isn't visible in basic gameplay, but it can be seen clearly when mods that move the arrows alongside the Z axis are activated (sink, rise, nx, bumpy etc.)
Unfortunately, StepMania and K-Pump draw note movement alongside the Z axis differently. Since PumpSanity needs to simulate both StepMania and K-Pump based games, this causes a problem. Using K-Pump method to draw notes means that StepMania mods will look incorrectly. And similarly, using StepMania method will do the same to K-Pump mods.
To solve this:
#DISPLAYPERSPECTIVE ssc tag can be added to any chart to indicate which drawing method it should use.
- #DISPLAYPERSPECTIVE:PUMP; - means that K-Pump drawing method should be used (this is the default).
- #DISPLAYPERSPECTIVE:PRO; - means that StepMania drawing method should be used.
Important!
As a rule of thumb, stepmakers should use the default K-Pump method of drawing, since players are able to select only K-Pump mods from command window, so most players will be playing
using only those mods. StepMania method od drawing should mainly be used for modcharts/quests which make heavy use of StepMania mods. However, it's worth noting that regardless of which drawing method was selected, mods from any game which do not move the notes alongside the Z axis will look good.
Custom Music Train
MusicTrain is an special song that contains a list of songs and steps that will be playable consecutively, up to 100! Creating a list is easier than you think; remember to follow these steps to make it work properly:
Requirements:
- Preview Banner file: Resolution (464x264), PNG/JPEG Format
- Preview Audio File: MP3/WAV/OGG Format, 12 sec length or less
- Preview Video File: MPG/MP4 Format (Optional) Max Resolution(640x360)
- Our SongPack (Recommended) or the Song Pack that you are sharing with the current musictrain.
Steps:
- Create a folder in MUSICTRAIN folder (The folder name will be shown in the game)
- Put your files (Banner,Audio, Video) in this folder
- Create an INI file called MUSICTRAIN with a suffix in the MUSICTRAIN folder (IE: musictrain_First.ini). If you dont know
how to create an INI File, open notepad and save the textfile with ini extension
MUSICTRAIN_* INI STRUCTURE (open your Musictrain_First.ini):
Your folder name should be between “[“and “]”, this is the section that will be read in game (CASE SENSITIVE)
The key “SONGS” will store every song folder that you want to show in the Train
The key “STEPS” will store every step from the songs that you stored in SONGS key
Add more songs and steps using a comma to split between songs/steps
SONGS must have GroupFolder and the SongFolder to work properly.
IE, if you want to add Desaparecer from XX, then you should
write: 13.XX/16D0 – Desaparecer.
If you are using a custom folder or custom song, then you should
write the path from it
STEPS must have the step type, meter, and the label from the
step. For example, if you want to use the Double 23 from Desaparecer,
you should write, D23 or D23 NORMAL. If you want to use an UCS, then you
should add D23 UCS
Songs and Steps Lists are sort manually, if the first song value
in SONGS is Latino Virus, then the First value in STEPS must be
a valid step from Latino Virus Song only. Same with the rest of
the songs and steps.
This is the result of the first music train, if everything is good, you will be able to play it.
IMPORTANT
You need to be specific about the step info. If the song have two Single 12, but the first step in the list is UCS. You need to specific the label, otherwise it will take the first one that match with the meter. Check the list of Labels here (LabelType)
You can also edit the INI file in real game time (Screen Select Music). Just switch between songs (Scroll) and the step list will be refreshed.
The INI file is not saving the song or the step itself, its just linked reference. If you share your music train and the other user doesn't have the song, then the song will be skipped.
Custom Sort Channel
Custom Sort will give you a way to make a new Sort for songs from your Group Folder. Be aware that once you use custom Sort, the game will not play the category sound, and this custom sort will be only available when you enter your channel.
Create a new text file called sort in the Song group Folder and open it:
Now type the folder names with the order you want using a new line always. Save the file and start the game.
Sort.txt
(1) PE328 - Gargoyle
(1) PE325 - Electrock
(1) PE327 - Frozen
(1) PE326 - EternuS
Your Group Folder now will looks customized sorted
Favorites Channel
In this channel, your favorite’s songs are saved.
Hold the Center button when
choosing the song to set it as Favorite. You will see a label (Red or Blue) that works as a favorite reference. You can save up to 300 songs in this channel. To delete a song from favorites, you need to repeat the sequence.
Coop Assist Mode
You wake up, turned on the PC and want to play some coop charts with your f... oh, so you don't have friends. We got you! On Select Music Screen, while choosing the coop step, press F8 to enable/disable the coop Assist Mode. How does it works?

ABOUT DIVISION MODE
Division Mode can be used under Normal or Quest Channels, you can find more information about division mode here.
Division Mode
Division Mode is a great feature that can improve your stepchart, it will switch your stepchart to another chart of the same steptype in realtime gameplay, its conditional so you need to use it carefully.
Division Mode is a conditional segment function. The game will detect how many specific tapnotes (Items/Taps) were pressed before the segmented row, and will switch to an specified step chart if the condition is true.
In Step Editor, press F5 to open the Division Menu, fill the sections and select 'Set Division Condition' to store the condition in the current second.
MINIMUM VALUE: Minimal value of specified tapnote pressed before to be checked.
MAX VALUE: Maximum value of specified tapnote pressed before to be checked.
CHART NAME: Name of chart that will be switched if condition is true, destination
#CHARTNAME stepchart should have this value too.
TAPNOTE: Its accumulated in gameplay and the count will be reset if condition is true (Just in some scenarios, read below)
- W: Wild TapNote - TapCount will be resetted if condition is true and will switch.
- G: Groove TapNote - TapCount will be resetted if condition is true and will switch.
- WG: Groove and Wild count should be equal or more than minimum and less or equal to maximum to switch. (Tap count will stay).
- WGR: Groove and Wild count should be equal or more than minimum and less or equal to maximum to switch. (Tap Count will reset)
- W&G: If Wild's tap count its the same as Minimal Value and Groove's tap count its the same value as Max Value it will switch. (Tap count reset) The CHART NAME key should have '&&' that will be splited. Example: CHART 1&&CHART 2. If condition is true, the game will switch to CHART 1, otherwise, CHART 2.
- W&G&A: If Tap count of Wild is the same as Minimal Value and Tap count of Groove has the same value as minimal Value and Tap count of Action has the same value as minimal value it will switch. (Tap count reset) There is no CHART NAME to set. If condition is true, the game will switch to the chartname with #CHARTNAME:1, otherwise it will switch the chartname with #CHARTNAME:2.
- PERFECT: Perfect's tap count should be equal or more than minimum and less or equal to maximum to switch. (Tap count will reset)
Important
You can set a noteskin/layer to Groove, Wild, Action. For example, Groove can use a hidden layer, or/and a Basic NoteSkin.
Its recommended that every Division Chart destination should be labeled as DIVISION, so they will be hidden in game and only activated when the condition comes true.
Division Segment should be edited and created under the main stepchart only.
Keep in mind that every division stepchart should have the same beatbar/rownumber as the main stepchart. If the destination stepchart has another beatbar, you will encounter some 'jumps' and glitches while switching.
Static Division Set (aka Special Division)
Special Division is an extra function that will convert Groove or Wild TapNote into a stepchart switcher. If the player press Groove or Wild TapNote, it will automatically switch to the destination stepchart.
Press Shift + F5 to open the Special Division Menu. And write the chart name destination for the specified TapNote.
Wrap and Wrap0
Wrap and Wrap0 are tapnotes that will automatically be pressed once it reach the receptor and their actions are switch to another stepchart
Wrap will switch to a random stepchart (with the same steptype) or switch to a random stepchart with the labelype 'Division'.
Wrap0 will switch to the stepchart that you select first to play.
SimFile Demonstration
We are attaching a file where you can see how Division/Division Special and Wrap items are working.
Download the simfile here
Step Editor Tricks
Here are some tricks that stepmakers can use in their charts to customize them.
Using custom receptor noteskin in chart
For single, double, and double perfomance charts with level 50 or above, you can set a custom receptor.
Insert a TapNote with a custom skin in the first column/row, if this TapNote is not part of the chart, you can set it with Fake Layer and Hidden Display Layer.
Editor: TapNote with perfomance 2 noteskin with layer Fake and Hidden on first row/column
Result: Perfomance Skin 2 Receptor in coop chart (double-perfomance)
Creating Quest Channel (Mission)
- Create a text file (empty) with the name "quest" inside the song's group folder. The game will recognize the Group Folder as a Quest
- Be sure that your songs have stepcharts labeled as S1,S2,S3 or S4 (Use Step Editor)
- (Optional) Use a description for every quest step, you can split the language with a @ - (Use Step Editor) Reference:
- #QUESTDESC : Survive until the end@Sobrevive hasta el final@Passe da música
- (Optional) Insert mods on the stepcharts, so the song will start with these modifiers (List of Mods below)

Creating Quest Goal
There are two ways to create a quest goal, it can be based on LUA or INI. INI is only for basic requisite, while LUA is more advanced. These files should be attached in the same folder of the Song, and they can't be activated at the same time. So choose wisely.
Song Folder should contain the INI File or the LUA file (Lua file can have any name, and ini file should be called "QuestConfig" )
INI Goal
Quest Goal from INI its a simple way to create a requisite for the stepcharts in the songfolder. Remember, this system is only for basic requisites. Create a file text called QuestConfig but with the INI extension.
INI structure is splitted in S1 S2 S3 S4 and the keys inside are the requisite per step, you can use multiple keys.
Example: QuestConfig.ini
[S1]
GRADE=SSS
[S2]
GRADE=SSS,SS,S,A
[S3]
MISS=<25
[S4]
FLAG=BREAKOFF,AUTOPLAY

Multiple Values |
Multiple Values on Keys
- GRADE: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, F
- FLAG: QuestMode doesnt allow autoplay or breakoff, because autoplay will give you a failed mission, and breakoff will give you the stagebreak screen with a failed mission. Add these flags to allow the game pass the quest.
- AUTOPLAY: Declare this stepchart has autoplay mod
- BREAKOFF: Declare this stepchart has breakoff mod
This is an example of QuestConfig.ini. STEP1 requires Grade A or S to pass, STEP2 requires to press less than 80 Mines and it has breakoff mod activated, STEP3 requires MAXCOMBO more or equal than 200000 and 40 Potions with a lifebar of 50% or less, STEP4 needs only survive until the end.
Example: QuestConfig.ini
[S1]
GRADE=S,A
[S2]
MINE=<79
FLAG=BREAKOFF
[S3]
MAXCOMBO=>200000
POTION=40
LIFEBAR=<50
[S4]
Save the file, and test it in game to be sure its working.
LUA Goal
Creating a Quest Goal based on LUA could be difficulty, so you need to be careful of what are you doing here. if you are beginner we recommend you to start reading a manual from this language. LUA will help you IE to count Tap NoteSkins.
First at all you should create a text file with whatever name but with a LUA extension (Quest_Goal.Lua) in the song folder. And you need to link this file into the SimFile (ssc) You can add it from the StepEditor on #FGChanges, or add it manually opening the ssc file.
#FGChanges on Simfile, calling Quest_Goal.lua (should be located on Song Segment)
#FGCHANGES:-100.000=Quest_Goal.lua=1.000=0=0=1=====,;
Open Quest_Goal.lua and define an Actor Frame as a return, and insert GameplayFinishMessageCommand
Quest_Goal.lua
local t = Def.ActorFrame
{
GameplayFinishMessageCommand=function(self,params)
local pnStageStats = STATSMAN:GetCurStageStats():GetPlayerStageStats(params.Player);
pnStageStats:SetSuccess(true);
end;
};
return t
This is a list of commands that will return a value, they are called from pnStageStats
and after getting the values, you should set SetSuccess(true)
command to make a MISSION SUCCESS otherwise it will get automatically MISSION FAILED.

Important about Quest_Goal.lua
For GetTapNoteSkin(), "default" will be always the TapNote that you didn't set as noteskin on StepEditor. If you set 'prime2' as mod, then every default noteskin will be set with the prime2 noteskin.
