✨ ULTRASTARDX ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for ultrastardx β€” it lives in section 6 of the Games Manual, and it is literally the main character of karaoke night πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

ultrastardx β€” UltraStar Deluxe: a karaoke singing game 🎀✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

ultrastardx

that's it. that's the whole invocation. iconic behaviour honestly 🫢


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so ultrastardx is a karaoke game, kinda like SingStarβ„’, where one or more players perform a song and the game scores their performances based on the pitch of their voices and the rhythm of their singing. yes bestie, it is judging you, but like, affectionately 🎢

it's a fork of the original UltraStar game, and it came back with so many added features β€” party mode, theme support, and support for more audio and video formats. it supports all microphones, including those from SingStarβ„’. every mic is welcome here, no gatekeeping πŸŒˆπŸŽ™οΈ

heads up though: the game does not include premade songs. none. zero. empty. 😭

but don't spiral, because you have options (not command-line options, we'll get to that β€” life options):

  • create your own songs with the built-in song editor ✍️
  • or download songs in the UltraStar format πŸ“₯

πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

soooo this program does not accept any options. none. not a single flag. it is configured via the in-game menu, which is honestly very "we do things visually here" of it. no flags, just vibes ✨


πŸ¦‹ FILES πŸ¦‹

  • "~/.ultrastardx/songs/" β€” this is the song folder, and it is the place. if you download songs in the UltraStar format, you need to place them here so that the game will load them. put the songs in the folder. the folder is where the songs go. iykYK πŸ’–
