is there any problems or do i go back to stepmania 4.0 cvs

Reply
I can see two problems here:
1. Ancient version
00:00.163: StepMania v5.0 beta 1a
2. Bad theme
Theme=DDRMAX2

Try the 5.0.9 release with the default theme.
If the theme you're trying to use was made for an older version of Stepmania, like SM 3.95 or SM4, it will not work, and that is the source of your problem.
