There are a couple of ways: you can either set up a PC games  game profile
under MythGame and have StepMania launched froma symlink or script in the
folder indicated in the profile; alternatively, you can alter your main menu
to have a StepMania option.

In mainmenu.xml:

<button>
        <type>GAME</type>
        <text>Stepmania</text>
        <action>EXEC /home/mythtv/StepMania-3.9/stepmania</action>
</button>

You'll need to restart MythTV in order to load the new menu. Also, you may
run into difficulty  launching StepMania if you're running mythfrontend as
root. In that case, you may want to do EXEC sudo -u mythtv
/home/mythtv/StepMania-3.9/stepmania instead for the action. The issue has
also been covered here:

Hope it works out for you!
