How can you adjust the timing window so it is the EXACT same as DDR timing? I am using SM 5

The timing windows are set in Preferences.ini, search for "TimingWindowSeconds" and set them to the values you want to each judgment.
I don't know what values would be most similar to DDR.

Is there a way to adjust each individual judge aspect.
Like:
Marvelous: 15 ms
Perfect: 30 ms
Great: 90 ms
Good: 120 ms
Boo: 150 ms

That is what I am looking for.

These are the values to look for in Preferences.ini:
TimingWindowSecondsW1=0.022500
TimingWindowSecondsW2=0.045000
TimingWindowSecondsW3=0.090000
TimingWindowSecondsW4=0.135000
TimingWindowSecondsW5=0.180000

W1 corresponds to Marvelous
W2 corresponds to Perfect
W3 corresponds to Great
W4 corresponds to Good
W5 corresponds to Boo/Almost

Deriving DDR's timing values for StepMania (at least for the older games) is a bit hard, due to the fact that it's done with frames.
I would suggest doing a search on the Aaron in Japan forums for "timing window", but wading through the results is a bit of a chore...

based on Taren's post here (and applying the correction), the correct values should be:
TimingWindowSecondsW1=0.016667
TimingWindowSecondsW2=0.033333
TimingWindowSecondsW3=0.091667
TimingWindowSecondsW4=0.141667
TimingWindowSecondsW5=0.225000

Thanks. I should have been able to figure that out

I assume you also have to change TimingWindowScale to 1. Please tell me if I am wrong. Thank you

I have a question similar to yours Kane. How can I get stepmania 3.95 timing window on stepmania 5? I can't stand these tiny little squished together arrows on sm5, but I love the new look. I downloaded Jousways 3.9 noteskin packs but theyre still all squished together....Just copying over the pref.ini wouldnt change the arrow template from being squished together would it? I have no idea how to change sm 5 arrow box to sm 3.95's....I tried changing my resolution each setting and it didnt work either...its all just...too damn small and close together for me...

baflasfi: The size and position of the arrows is completely different from the timing windows.
I'm not entirely sure what your problem is, can you make a couple screenshots explaining it?
