If there are no charts to download, either the chart/s don't exist yet because no one has charted said song, they have been deleted or you must search with the song ID because the chart/s are beta/alpha. The song ID is on the bottom half of the screen once tapping on a cover image. Search that specific id. Keep note that charts cost gold. 5 gold for alpha charts, 10 gold for beta charts and 20 gold for stable/ranked charts.

The server updated so that the server records the highest chart level from scores with Judge B and 90+ accuracy for each player. The store displays harder charts only if the recorded level is larger than 15.

The Malody servers in general have been bad. To circumvent this, you can use a VPN. In most cases, it works. There should be better servers once Malody 5.0 releases.

An example for a VPN you can use is ProtonVPN. It is recommended to use the free one if you don't want to pay.

On the song selection screen, on the top left, there is a plus sign that has the word "import" underneath. Click it. This will open up a file manager. Navigate to the folder where the charts you want to import are. Click to select the charts you want to import and tap the select box at the bottom.

If you are on MacOs or Windows, you can simply drag and drop charts while Malody is open.

All supported chart formats in Malody:

• .bms/.bme/.bml/.pms (for Key/DJ)
• .sm (for Key/Step)
• .tja (for Taiko)
• .mc (Malody format for all modes in Malody)

Do note that if you import Osu! standard charts, they will be converted to catch. Make sure the Osu! charts you import are made specifically for catch, mania (key) or taiko.

The first thing you can do is disable skins one by one if you have enabled them. Sometimes, incorrect values in skins can cause Malody to not play charts.

Are you using any apps that clean your phone's storage? If yes, delete those apps. They can delete Malody related files because the cleaners cannot tell what is junk and what isn't junk. They are snake oil and can cause more harm than good. It's better to clean your storage manually. If no, then check if your phone has a built in cleaning solution. Go to your phone's settings and look for an option that cleans your phone's storage. Disable it.

• Graphics offset: Offsets how early or late the song plays. This option can be found in the Malody settings under the gameplay section.

• Hit offset: Offsets how early or late your taps/hits register. This option can be found in the Malody settings under the gameplay section.

• Chart offset: Offsets how early or late notes show up. This option can be found in the pause menu.

There is no best offset. There are many factors that come into play such as different devices, different input lag, different refresh rates, reaction times ect that can affect how one plays.

There are two methods to download skins:

1. Go to the Malody settings and scroll down until you see the "Graphics" section. In the graphics section, there will be a setting called "Current skin." Tap the box that has the word "Default" or if you have already enabled a skin, it will say "Custom" instead. This is where you go to change your skins. On the top right, tap the cloud icon and you will be shown skins that can be downloaded. Only the most recent stable skins will be shown. Do note that some skins cost gold and others are free. Gold only applies to stable skins.

2. On the top of the Malody website, there are several options. One option has a wand with the word "Skin" next to it. Click it. This will take you to the skins page. You will be able to use filters to determine what platform (PC, mobile) and screen orientation (landscape, portrait), what game mode and whether the skins you are looking for are stable, beta or all skins for your specified filters. Unlike stable skins, beta skins will be free even if there is a specified amount of gold.

To import skins on:

• Android

Using a file explorer, navigate to the downloads folder. If your skin is in the .msz format, copy and paste it to /data/Malody/skin. If your skin is in the .zip format, extract it. Copy and paste the extracted folder to /data/Malody/skin.

!!!IMPORTANT!!! If the skin fails to load in Malody, then the skin folder has a duplicate folder with the skin elements inside it. For example, /data/Malody/skin/Project Catch/Project Catch. You will need to copy and paste this particular skin folder back to /data/Malody/skin.

• iOS: Using Safari, download a skin. After the download is complete, tap the download button on the top right of Safari. Tap the share button on the top right. If the skin you downloaded is in the .msz format, share it to Malody mobile and it should import successfully.

• Windows: If the skin you downloaded is in the .msz format, you can simply drag and drop the skin into the Malody window. If the skin is in the .zip format, you can rename the extension to .msz and then drag and drop it into the Malody window.

!!!IMPORTANT!!! If the skin fails to load in Malody, then the skin folder has a duplicate folder with the skin elements inside it. For example: C:/Users/Your PC username here/Downloads/Malody-4.3.7/skin/Project Catch/Project Catch. A very easy way to get to your Malody skins folder is: Go to the Malody settings and scroll down until you see the "Graphics" section. In the graphics section, there will be a setting called "Current skin." Tap the box that has the word "Default" or if you have already enabled a skin, it will say "Custom" instead. On the right of the skins, there will be a folder icon like the one shown in the screenshot. Click it and your file explorer will immediately open the Malody skins folder.
