After a lot of frustration with web hosting, overloaded servers etc, I’ve finally decided to join the blogosphere and move everything here.
Give me a while to get this place in shipshape. It will work this time.

Official simfiles
Currently there are two types of official DTX simfiles (designed to be used with DTXMania).
GF and DM versions: ripped from the PS2 game and organized by the mix. Only includes the released songs up till V4.
DM only versions: Currently they include all the songs from 1st mix - V5. These are more complete but not all the songs have all the difficulties charts - some only have the extreme version.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please read the documentation in the DTXMania English resource center first.
I will try and update this FAQ periodically. If you have a question which isn't answered, please feel free to post a comment:
Where do I unzip the GDA or DTX simfiles?
Create a folder called "DTXFiles".
How do I change the song difficulty?
Press the Hi hat twice.
How do I change the scroll speed?
Press the bass pedal twice. Whilst playing, you can use the up and down arrows to change the scroll speed also.
The charts are off-sync in the game:
In DTXMania versions 064 and above, press the delete key whilst playing a song to show the DTX details, then press Shift+Up or Shift+Down to adjust the chart sync. The game will remember your adjustment for the song the next time you play it.
How do I make subfolders to organize my DTX files?
Name your folder DTXFiles.Yourfoldername and DTXMania will recognize it as a sub-folder. Alternatively, use box.def.

2) Install the latest drivers for the converter (especially if you are running Windows Vista)
3) Plug the MIDI-In cable in your converter to the MIDI-Out hole in your drum module. Hook up the other end to the USB slot of your computer.
Connect your PC to a Guitarfreaks or Guitar Hero controller
1) You will need a converter depending on the type of controller. e.g. A PS2 GH controller will need a PS2 to USB converter.
2) Hook up your guitar to the converter, and check to see if it works under Control Panel > Game controllers.
