It's also now a guide to Beatmania and the rest of the BEMANI series of rhythm games by Konami. While not comprehensive, it should begin to answer some of the questions that you might have about the games. Also, the focus of this document is currently the Beatmania series of Playstation (PSX) games, although much more is covered. This is the main document in my DJ Syndrome series of FAQs, and contains not only play information, such as how to unlock hidden songs and song lists, but it also lists a lot of other information that may prove very useful for the BEMANI series player, such as soundtrack info, and info on things such as the BEMANI LCD portables. If you are looking for just play information on a specific title, I have condensed the information on all games that are covered in the Quick Guide section in to short, game-specific FAQs. Please note, however, that this FAQ contains all of the information that is in the game-specific FAQs, and then some. Also, these game-specific FAQs are lower on my list of things to work on, so they will not necessarily be updated at the same time that this FAQ is... ___________________________________________________ _____Aim: When this document was first started, it was aimed at being a reference piece for the existing Playstation Beatmania games, providing song lists, hidden song/mode info, and any other pertinant information. Although it has obviously expanded since then, the document was considered to have it's first full release (ver.1.00) upon this pre- requisite's completion. If this work is to ever include the above info for all of the BEMANI games (home and arcade), then it will hit v.2.00 status, although this happening is extremely unlikely. The new focus is simply to continue to present BEMANI information in the same style, quality, and quantity as has been established, as well as including any extra information (such as lyrics, and name sources) that may be of interest to the readers. 0.02: Beatmania Quick Guide_________________________________ Overall, here's how things work: Each disc has a core set of songs that will be available no matter how badly you score. There are also a set of hidden songs for each stage after the first that you much get certain scores in certain genres to open up. Once you play a song, it's available in Free Mode and Training Mode. A single PSX Beatmania Memory Card Save can only hold a single Append Disc's save information (4th Mix and beyond are different stories), so I would personally recommend a different Memory Card for each Append disc (and don't forget to mark them...). As for hints/techniques, no long techniques section here, just three main tips: - Practice, practice, practice. - Use the training mode - it's invaluable. - Buy the controller that was made for the game. And now for the lowdown and the important information on the releases...: ____________________ _____Beatmania (Arcade & Append Discs): Title: Beatmania System: PSX Intro: The Playstation game that started it all, the first Beatmania release includes songs from the original Arcade release (1st Mix, if you will) and the 2nd Mix Arcade release, as well as original Playstation tracks. The first disc, entitled 'Arcade' are the tracks from the arcade, and the second disc, entitled 'Append' (the first of many as it turns out...) has nine non-arcade and 3rd Mix tracks, including a remix of the Metal Gear Solid Main Theme. The Append Disc serves as a sort of add-on disc, as you must first insert the original Arcade Disc. This 2- disc set recently went Platinum (one million copies sold). __Stage Flow: Arcade Disc: Practice: Stage 1:-----Stage 2:-----Stage 3: practice hip~hop reggae Normal: Stage 1:-------Stage 2:-------Stage 3:-------Stage 4: hip~hop break-bts house* soul reggae ballade minimal techno rave ambient (jazz soul) mix* house spiritual mix reggae funky techno dj battle ska mix hip~hop drum'n bass mix* street mix hard tekno* japanese rave (2nd mix)* hip~hop* konamix* Expert Classic: Stage 1:-----Stage 2:-----Stage 3:-----Stage 4:-----Stage 5: break-bts techno soul house rave *rave 2nd Expert Vocal: Stage 1:-----Stage 2:-----Stage 3:-----Stage 4:-----Stage 5: japanese reggae house ska ballade hiphop funky mix Expert Techno: Stage 1:-----Stage 2:-----Stage 3:-----Stage 4:-----Stage 5: techno minimal konamix ambient drum'n bass techno *hard tekno Append (Yebisu Mix) disc: Stage 1:-------Stage 2:-------Stage 3:-------Stage 4: funk funk funk funk styl garage styl garage styl garage styl garage bossa groove bossa groove bossa groove bossa groove asian trad'l asian trad'l asian trad'l spd garage spd garage spd garage funky jazz funky jazz groove groove hard house hard house bigbeat mix bossa groove (french) *hidden song __Hidden Songs: Requirements to get the hidden songs: Arcade Disc: In order to get: score at least: in this (or one of these) genre(s): Stage 1: japanese hip-hop 60,000 any genre konamix 90,000 any genre Stage 2: house 40,000 ballade house 45,000 break-bts house 50,000 techno house 60,000 hip-hop street mix, konamix house 85,000 japanese hip-hop minimal techno 70,000 ballade, break-bts minimal techno 80,000 konamix, techno minimal techno 90,000 hip-hop street mix, japanese hip-hop Stage 3: drum'n bass mix 50,000 dj battle drum'n bass mix 65,000 house drum'n bass mix 70,000 minimal techno mix hard tekno 90,000 dj battle, minimal techno mix hard tekno 85,000 house rave (2nd mix) 90,000 dj battle rave (2nd mix) 100,000 house, minimal techno mix Append (Yebisu Mix) Disc: This disc works a little differently from the others. As far as I can tell you merely have to play certain songs to get the full set, not score a certain number of points. The following combination will open up all the songs: 1st Stage-----2nd Stage-----3rd Stage-----4th Stage funk asian trad. bossa groove rest... That should leave you with all of the rest of the songs (Styl Garage, Spd Garage, Funky Jazz Groove, Hard House, Bigbeat Mix, and Bossa Groove French Version) to choose from in the fourth stage. I'm not positive that this will work every time (at this point it still needs checked a bit) but it's the one that I got to work... _____________________________ _____Beatmania Append 3rd Mix: Title: Beatmania Append 3rd Mix System: PSX Intro: The first separate 'append', or add-on disc for the original Playstation release. The disc features all of songs from the 3rd Mix Arcade release, hence the reason that some of the songs are repeated from the Arcade disc and the original Append disc. As with the first Append disc, you must first insert the original Arcade Disc. __Stage Flow: Stage 1:--------Stage 2:-------Stage 3:----------Stage 4: ambient j-dance pop house big beat mix soul hiphop bossa groove house (classic) ballad (classic)funky jazz reggae drum'n bass (classic) j-dance pop groove soul (classic) world groove hiphop house big beat mix euro beat bossa groove house (classic) hard techno 80's j-pop* d'n bass (classic)drum'n bass reggae digital funk* digi-rock* soul (classic) *hidden song __Hidden Songs: Requirements to get the hidden songs: In order to get: score at least: in this (or one of these) genre(s): Stage 1: 80's j-pop 35,000 ballade (classic) 80's j-pop 67,000 j-dance pop 80's j-pop 80,000 hiphop 80's j-pop 95,000 ambient, soul Stage 2: digital funk 45,000 reggae, soul (classic) digital funk 47,000 bossa groove digital funk 65,000 funky jazz groove digital funk 87,000 house digital funk 90,000 j-dance pop, 80's j-pop digital funk 92,000 hiphop Stage 3: digi rock 42,000 digital funk digi rock 45,000 drum'n bass (classic) digi rock 55,000 reggae, soul (classic) digi rock 60,000 bossa groove digi rock 64,000 house (classic) digi rock 67,000 bigbeat mix digi rock 97,000 house ___________________________ _____Beatmania Append Gottamix: Title: Beatmania Append Gottamix System: PSX Intro: Although not a mix released in the arcades, Beatmania Append Gottamix features tracks both from the arcade releases as well as original playstation tracks. As with the other Append discs, the original Arcade Disc must first be inserted. __Stage Flow: Stage 1:--------Stage 2:-------Stage 3:----------Stage 4: real garage hiphop dj~battle break beats hip and soul crossover r&b collage techno raga rock dj~battle rock'n techno jazz electro bigbeat r&b j-garage pop trance hiphop rock'n techno free soul euro beat j-garage pop break beats gabbah* drum'n bass* collage techno r&b (hard version)* nonstop megamix* *hidden song __Hidden Songs: Requirements to get the hidden songs: In order to get: score at least: in this (or one of these) genre(s): Stage 1: drum'n bass 91,000 bigbeat drum'n bass 94,000 raga rock, hip-hop drum'n bass 95,000 real garage drum'n bass 96,000 hip and soul Stage 2: nonstop megamix 82,000 r&b nonstop megamix 83,000 j-garage pop nonstop megamix 84,000 dj~battle nonstop megamix 90,000 drum'n bass nonstop megamix 93,000 rock'n techno nonstop megamix 94,000 hip-hop, crossover Stage 3: gabbah 66,000 nonstop megamix gabbah 68,000 collage techno gabbah 69,000 free soul gabbah 82,000 r&b gabbah 83,000 j-garage pop gabbah 84,000 dj~battle gabbah 85,000 breakbeats gabbah 93,000 rock'n techno r&b (hard version) 72,000 nonstop megamix r&b (hard version) 74,000 collage techno r&b (hard version) 78,000 free soul r&b (hard version) 88,000 j-garage pop r&b (hard version) 93,000 dj~battle, r&b r&b (hard version) 96,000 breakbeats r&b (hard version) 98,000 rock'n techno ___________ _____Beatmania Append 4th Mix ~The Beat Goes On~: Title: Beatmania Append 4th Mix ~the beat goes on~ System: PSX Intro: In this release we see quite a bit of new features. The first is the addition of the 'just great' (or flashing great) mark. Second, we have the addition of the great/good counter - it will keep track of how many greats/goods you have gotten in a row. We also have a few more options for play, including random and mirror. Add to that a bonus edit mode and a bunch of cool new songs, and you've got yourself a great disc. Also, it's worth noting that this mix is the first major departure of in-game graphics in the Beatmania mixes - you'll find totally different song selection and end of stage graphics, to name a few. It also runs on a 20,000 max per stage point system as opposed to a 10,000 max (note that you don't get any extra points for long combos like you do in DDR). Options: hidden - the notes disappear partway down the screen. double - one player plays both the 1P & 2P sides. battle - 1P & 2P both play the same notes, and it's a battle to see who ends up with the higher gauge - even if one player ends under the normally required level, they still go on (which is normal for all modes). random - the notes occur in the same places in the songs, but the button that you have to push is randomised (the turntable stays the same). note that it's not totally random - the buttons that you need to push basically swap positions for the entire song (for example, all of the notes that were the middle white key are now the left blue key, and so on). mirror - the five buttons are mirrored (ie. the left ones are now right, and the right one are now on the left). note that because there are an odd number of buttons, the middle white button stays put. also, the turntable is unaffected. (in-game option): effects: by pressing the select button during gameplay (ie. during the song) you can turn the effect (selectable in the options menu) on and off. Getting Bonus Edit Mode: To open up the bonus edit mode (which features 'traditional' Beatmania graphics and so-on), first put in the Arcade disc, then Disc Switch to either 3rd Mix or Gottamix, then switch to 4th Mix. You'll be in Bonus Edit mode. (note: I switched from Arcade to 3rd to Gotta to 4th to open up all of the songs - I'm not sure if all of the songs will open up if you only use one of the two discs - more on this as I play more). Also, after playing through all of the songs, then booting down the system and just playing regular 4th Mix, none of the Bonus Mix songs came up in training/free mode, which leads me to think that Bonus Mix acts like a whole Append disc, and thus requires a whole separate save (the same as any other Append disc - there can only be one Append disc per save, thus to have all of the songs available at any time, you now need a total of five separate saves - ones for Yebisu, 3rd, Gotta, and Bonus Edit, which all branch off of the original Arcade disc save, and then the 4th Mix save, which is a separate entity.) I have yet to double check this, and after finding that the Bonus Edit songs are available in normal mode as well, it may be a while before I do... __Stage Flow: Basic (Club M.Z.D) 4 Stages Stage 1:-----------Stage 2:----------Stage 3:---------Stage 4: r&b (I live...) hiphop future jazz cube beat jazz house future jazz jungle house hiphop dance pop (keep..)cube beat drum'n bass dance pop (keep..) r&b (hunting...) house 70's soul r&b (hunting...) jungle soul hiphop techno cube beat drum'n bass rave house 70's soul soul hiphop techno techno big beat big beat hard house hard house Hard (Club Japan) 4 Stages Stage 1:-----------Stage 2:----------Stage 3:---------Stage 4: r&b (I live...) future jazz cube beat drum'n bass jazz house dance pop(keep...)house 70's soul hiphop r&b (hunting...) soul hiphop techno future jazz cube beat jazzy hiphop big beat dance pop(keep...) house drum'n bass rave r&b (hunting...) soul hiphop 70's soul hard house jungle jazzy hiphop techno minimal house techno rave trance lounge* lounge* hard house happy r&b (I live...)@ house@ trance dance pop(deep)* hiphop@ jazzy hiphop@ deep house* rave@ house(nagureo..)^ dance pop^(beli..)dance pop(deep)* minimal@ j-techno^ hard tekno^(@) house@ happy@ jazzy hiphop@ dance pop(deep)@* rave@ hard techno(cr.)^ dance pop(deep)@*euro beat^ hard house^ euro beat@^ hard house@^ *hidden song @'another' version - available by pressing the select button ^Bonus Edit Mode song (@)unmarked 'another' version Expert (Club Beat-2000) 5 Stages Street Course: Stage 1:------Stage 2:------Stage 3:------Stage 4:------Stage 5: hiphop r&b(i live..) future jazz soul hiphop r&b(hunting..)

(note that this stage flow list for Bonus Edit is not quite complete - I only played through the mode once, so the songs that I beat the stages with (j-pop, j-techno, and house (nagureo kidding)) are not on the chart after the stage that I played them in...) __Hidden Songs: In order to get: Do one of these things: lounge - 1. Clear Hard mode 5 times. dance pop (deep...) |- 2. Beat hard mode without losing. deep house - 3. Clear Expert mode once. Secret Modes: Special Course (Expert Mode): Beat Hard mode once. Another Course (Expert Mode): Beat Hard mode 5 times. Horrible Course (Expert Mode): Beat Hard mode 10 times. Bonus Course (Expert Mode): Either beat any of the Expert Mode courses once, and you should get the Bonus Course, or beat Hard 20 times. Note that opening up this course will also open up the Bonus Edit Mode songs for normal gameplay. Bonus Edit songs available in normal 4th Mix: There are two ways to do this - open up the Bonus Course either beating Expert mode or beating Hard 20 times, or play Hard mode 50 times (not necessarily beating it...) 'Another' versions of songs in Hard Mode: To get the another version of certain songs in Hard Mode, simply hold the select button - if another version is available, then a symbol saying 'Another' will appear in the area above the 2P symbol. Not all songs have another versions. Also, the another versions of the songs are very similar, and usually just have a few hard passages added - the difficulty (number of stars) stays the same. __________________________________________ _____Beatmania GB: Title: Beatmania GB System: GameBoy Color/GameBoy Intro: The first Beatmania for a portable system, the GameBoy version, which is compatable with all existing GameBoy systems, features songs from the 2nd and 3rd Arcade mixes, as well as a few originals. This is the first home title to include a feature that keeps track of how many greats/good you score in a row (this first appeared in Beatmania in 4th Mix in the arcades). Also, a first in the Beatmania releases, a password system is included to open up the hidden songs in Free mode. __Stage Flow: Arcade:Normal: Stage 1:-----Stage 2:-----Stage 3:-----Stage 4: break-bts techno j-dance pop konamix funk dj battle bossa groove minimal techno bigbeatmix* eurobeat* Arcade:Expert: Stage 1:-----Stage 2:-----Stage 3:-----Stage 4:-----Stage 5: coming later...

Visually and aurally excellent, the WS version's main drawback is it's lack of songs - there are only 10 initially, and I have yet to open up any hidden songs... Also, it's worth noting that the songs are unchanged from the arcade (unlike BM GB, in which the songs are re-formatted for the GameBoy's layout), which ends up making things a bit hard at some points. Also features a continue mode so that you can turn the system off, and when you turn it back on, you'll be back at the stage you were on when the system was switched off - a _very_ nice feature... __Stage Flow: Normal: (difficulty [in stars] under stage number) Stage 1:-----Stage 2:-----Stage 3:-----Stage 4: (*,**) (*,**,***) (***,**** (****,***** *****) ******) funk funk ambient bossa groove soul soul j-dance pop funky jazz groove ambient ambient bossa groove bigbeatmix j-dance pop j-dance pop funky jazz reggae bossa groove groove house funky jazz bigbeatmix drum'n bass mix groove reggae *hard techno Expert: class~a: Stage 1:-----Stage 2:-----Stage 3:-----Stage 4:-----Stage 5: soul ambient funky jazz reggae house groove class~b: Stage 1:-----Stage 2:-----Stage 3:-----Stage 4:-----Stage 5: funk j-dance pop bossa groove bigbeatmix drum'n bass mix Survival: Stage 1:-----Stage 2:-----Stage 3:-----Stage 4:-----Stage 5: funk soul ambient j-dance pop Bossa groove Stage 6:-----Stage 7:-----Stage 8:-----Stage 9:-----Stage 10: funky jazz bigbeatmix reggae house drum'n bass mix groove Stage 11: hard techno (*hidden song) __Hidden songs, mode: How to get the two hidden songs: - These are some of the easiest hidden songs to get - just merely do the highest difficulty songs in each stage in Normal (Stage 1=**, Stage 2=***, Stage 3=****) and you'll get hard techno in stage 4. You don't need to win all three in a row - you can continue as much as you want, and as far as I know you don't need a certain score. After you play hard techno, medley will open up in 'free' mode. How to get the hidden mode: In order to open the hidden mode in Expert, Survival, you merely have to complete either Expert Course A or Expert Course B without the turntable or any key help turned on. ______________________________ _____Hiphopmania Complete Mix: !!also known as Beatmania Complete Mix, Beatstage Complete Mix!! Titles: Hiphopmania Complete Mix, Beatmania Complete Mix, Beatstage Complete Mix System: Arcades (N.America, Japan, ??) note: While this is not a quickguide section as the rest of them are, I figured that it is worth including since many of the readers of this document are from North America, and Hiphopmania Complete Mix is the only game in the Beatmania series to be released there. Intro: Hiphopmania is the English translation/localization of Beatmania Complete Mix, released in the Japanese arcades in 1998. To my current knowledge, the game is the same as the Japanese version except for the small amount of Japanese text that resides in the game being translated to English (all of the text is in the Practice and How To Play sections). Although it has been available in the North America for quite a while (always under the name Hiphopmania), mass release of the title only started recently. It's first major showing, as well as Konami's first real announcement of support for the title, was at the E3 show in L.A. during May of 1999. Wide release started around late- September to early-October, to my current knowledge. All of the Complete Mix games contain the same songs that are in found Beatmania 2nd Mix and Beatmania 3rd Mix (2nd Mix contains all of the songs from the original Beatmania release), and thus, most of the info contained in this document should apply as well. A songlist has been added, and can be found in the Songlist:: Arcades: section under the title Beatmania Complete Mix (I consider the original title to be canon). As I reside in Japan, I cannot verify any info for the actual Hiphopmania Complete Mix release (having only played it a few times many months ago at the E3 show), and any additional information on this title would be helpful. ________________________________ _____Dance Dance Revolution: Title: Dance Dance Revolution System: Playstation Intro: Konami's first home port of their second most popular BEMANI game, DDR one-ups games like Enix's Bust A Move by offering an optional foot pad controller that requires you to actually get up and move. A single disc release (unlike the Append modes of Beatmania and DDR2ndReMix), DDR was the one of the best-selling game of the first half of 1999 in Japan, and for good reason - it's really good... As a side note, I found this game to be _very_ easy with a normal Playstation controller, but much harder with the Original (mat) controller... __Stage Flow: Easy: have you never been mellow butterfly kung fu fighting that's the way (i like it) let's get down Normal: 1st and 2nd Stages:------------3rd Stage: have you never been mellow --all 1st and 2nd stage songs plus: butterfly trip machine kung-fu fighting that's the way (i like it) my fire make a jam!* boys* Hard: 1st and 2nd Stages:------------3rd Stage: butterfly --all 1st and 2nd stage songs plus: kung-fu fighting trip machine let's get down paranoia little bitch paranoia KCET -clean mix-* strictly business paranoia MAX -dirty mix-* make it better i believe in miracles* *hidden song (exception: Double - in double, there is only one stage, and all of the songs that are normally available in that difficulty are open for play) __Hidden Songs/Modes: Hidden Songs: Unlike Beatmania's hidden songs where as certain score is required, DDR's hidden songs are basically time release. You have to beat the game on a certain mode a certain number of times, or beat a certain number of songs. Once you open up a hidden song, it's becomes 'unhidden' and will show up every game. The following are how to open the hidden songs: Title: Artist: Requirements to open: make a jam! u1 clear normal mode 10 times boys smile.dk clear 600 songs i believe in miracles hi-rise clear 700 songs paranoia KECT ~clean mix~ 2mb clear hard mode 100 times paranoia MAX ~dirty mix~ 190 clear hard mode 500 times A helpful note for getting the paranoia songs: To get these fairly quickly, play Double mode (either by yourself or with a friend using controller 2) - Double mode only has 1 stage, as opposed to 3. Now you only have to play 100 and 500 songs to open them, as opposed to 300 and 1500... This also means that you can get all 5 hidden songs by beating 700 songs (of course, 500 of them have to be hard mode doubles...). Thanks to Petee Hsu for the methods of unlocking the songs, and the tip on double mode... Hidden Modes: At the game mode selection screen (easy, normal, hard) press U.

Next make the nine action buttons really big and colorful. Last, throw in extremely colorful and cartoony characters over a pop-based soundtrack, and an all-together way too cheery interface, and you have Pop'n Music. The lighthearted branch of the BEMANI series, Pop'n Music, is definately that - lighthearted. Boasting loud colors and a different cartoon-style character for each stage, Pop'n Music is a game that is definately for all ages and all types of people. And don't be fooled by the lighthearted take on things - a 20- rating song with nine buttons is nothing to laugh at... __Stage Flow: Beginner: Stage 1:--------Stage 2: pops latin fantasy disco queen j-tekno reggae rap dance techno pop Normal: Stage 1:--------Stage 2:--------Stage 3: pops latin techno pop fantasy disco queen disco king j-tekno reggae spy rap dance anime hero classical* j-pop* Hard: Stage 1:--------Stage 2:--------Stage 3: pops latin techno pop fantasy disco queen disco king j-tekno reggae spy rap dance anime hero classical* j-pop* hidden song* __Hidden Songs/Modes: clear game 1 time - classical clear game 2 times - j-pop clear game 3 times - hidden styles Hidden Styles: mirror random hidden off !!note: the above section is still very much under construction, and any input is appreciated!! _________________________________ _____Beatmania Controllers: Title: Beatmania Controller System: PSX Maker: ASCII (licensed by Konami) Price: JY4990 Features:None Intro: Your standard run-of-the-mill Beatmania controller, this one is lightweight and hard to scratch with. Made by ASCII (who usually makes excellent controllers...), the Beatmania Controller features the five button/one turntable layout from the arcade, as well as start and select buttons located at the top. With a light and slightly rounded body, the controller is confortable enough to hold, but five very clicky buttons (that seem to miss more than you'd like) and one very generally hard-to- use turntable you're wishing for the decks from the arcade version. The big drawback to this controller is the turntable - made out of smoothe black plastic, your fingers slide over the turntable more than the turntable itself moving. Although this is fixable (by taking apart the controller and loosening the turntable screw, and then putting a rubber mat of some sort on the top of the turntable), it's more hassle than it's worth. Verdict: Better than the standard PSX controller or the Dual Shock, but only use it if you can't find anything else. Title: DJ Station PRO System: PSX Maker: Konami SRP: JY7800 Features:Light-up buttons, headphone jack (through direct audio feed) and separate-channel volume controls Intro: After looking for this controller for a month and a half, I finally found it at the Sendai Laox, and they had them en force (I'm guessing the availability of this controller is going to go up with the coming release of 4th Mix Append). Anyway, this is definately the Beatmania controller of choice. Aside from actually getting an arcade machine, this is the closest you'll come to the feel of the arcade. The buttons are fairly comfortable, and light up upon pressing (with the help of two AA batteries, included), just like in the arcade. The turntable is a big improvement over the ASCII one, but not nearly as nice as the arcade one. It is much more similar to the arcade; where the ASCII turntable is flat and black without a label, this one has a bit of texture to it, helping your fingers so that they don't slip (a big problem with the ASCII one), and it has a 'record label' and peg, just like in the arcade. It's not nearly the size of the arcade's turntable - the DJ Station PRO's table is about the size of a 45, whereas the arcade has a full-size turntable, but it's still easy to use and feels very comfortable. The design of the controller is very nice as well, giving you the feel of the arcade machine. The controller is fairly light, but not as light as the ASCII one. As for the headphone jack and volume controls, I haven't tried them yet, but I'm guessing that the quality is pretty good - it actually has A/V in and out jacks in the back, so you're getting the audio feed before the television is. The sliders for the volume are fairly nice, and separated into left and right channels. The package comes with the extra A/V cable that you'll need to use the headphone option as well. As a side note, although the DJ Station PRO is much longer than the ASCII controller (the ASCII has it beaten on width by a little bit), the box for the DJSpro is much smaller than the ASCII's Playstation-system-box sized packaging (which also is the size of the DDR controller's package). Here are some additional comments that I have about the controller now that I've really played with it: When I first used this controller, I really liked it. Now that I've truly gotten a chance to use it, I absolutely love it. The turntable is very well made, and very sensitive (which is a good thing), so you can do a very short, quick scratch and still have it count, a definate plus in some of the hard, busier songs. The headphone jack is very, very nice, and provides excellent sound quality and volume (I personally can't turn it up over about 5 without it being so loud that it's uncomfortable). My only quip is that you have to press the buttons directly down if you press it at too much of an angle, it gets caught and doesn't register. However, this is only really a problem with you're laying down and playing... If you're thinking of getting a controller and seriously like the game, PLEASE spend the extra money for this one - you won't be disappointed. Verdict: If you see this puppy, pick it up. The interfaces are all comfortable, it's very attractive and sleek looking, and it's as close to the arcade as you can [currently] get. It's definately worth the extra money, and you'll not regret it in the long run. _The_ Beatmania controller of choice. Period. Title: DJ Man System: PSX Maker: Joytech (unlicensed) SRP: ~JY4980 Features:Dual Shock wrist strap, light up buttons Intro: OK. I've never used this controller, so all of the info that I have on it is from outside sources. The controller is made of a thick black plastic, is fairly rounded in shape, and is slightly larger than the PSX console. The action keys are shaped like piano keys, and the turntable is lightly textured to prevent finger slippage. It features light-up keys and a Dual Shock compatible wrist strap. It comes in a cardboard 'carrying case' (ie. a cardboard box with a plastic handle). Verdict: I can't really say, as I've never used it. The one person that I have recieved an email from who owns the controller is very happy with it, and says that it is on par with the DJ Station PRO. Of course, if you throw the style factor in, the DJ Station PRO blows it out of the water... :) One thing to note about the above product is that it is -unlicensed-, and is not supported by either Konami or Sony. Just a warning. 0.03: Song List_____________________________________________ The songs are grouped by series title (ie. Beatmania, DDR, etc), and then by disc, and are in the order that they appear in Free mode when they are all opened up, which also puts them in order of difficulty. As for the categories, Song Title, Artist, and Genre kind of speak for themselves. Diff. is the difficulty, shown in the game as stars, and ranges from one (* or 1) to nine (********* or 9), or ??? (which is how it is listed in the game). After that comes BPM, or beats per minute. If multiple BPMs are shown in the list(example: 100/94/96), then the song starts at 100 BPM, then changes to 94 BPM, and finally changes to 96 BPM. Notes are the number of notes contained in the song (example: 80/99) - the first number (in this case 80) is the number of notes in one player mode, the second number (99) is the number in two player mode. If there is a dash (ex:79/-) then the song is only available in 1P or 2P mode, and is marked as such after the genre. If there is only one number, the number of notes is the same in both 1P and 2P modes... In DDR, the different notes and difficulties are for the different versions (ie. Normal, Another, Maniac, etc.). Also in DDR (and probably GF as well), the number of notes is the a bit deceiving - two steps (or neck presses) that occur at the same time count as a single note, as you cannot get one of the steps or presses right and the other wrong - if you miss one, the entire 'note' is counted as wrong. In all of the titles, if there is a difficulty of ???, then that is how it appears in the game - a difficulty that is unknown by me is simply left blank. ___________________________________ _____Beatmania Arcade Disc: Song Title Artist Genre Diff.

When Sony released the Playstation game 'Parappa the Rapper' in 1997, the world (or at least Japan...) took notice of the creation of a new game genre. Enix one-upped Sony with their release of Bust A Move Dance and Rhythm Action (aka. Bust A Groove). Konami saw this and thought - 'How about _we_ make a dancing game...' And they did. It was called 'Dance!Dance!Dance!', and it is most truly horrible. So, they moved to the arcades and released a 12- song DJ Mixing game called Beatmania. And unlike D!D!D!, Beatmania was _good_. Good enough that before long, they graced it with a 2nd Mix version. And the BEMANI line was born (the name coming from the first in the series, BEatMANIa). Following Beatmania in the arcades were Pop'n'Music, another 'hit the buttons to make music' game with a cartoonish feel, Dance Dance Revolution, a dancing game that actually requires you to dance, Guitar Freaks, the game that requires you to push buttons and strum a guitar, and lastly Drummania, where you play actual Yamaha electric drums to the beat of the music. And of course, the BEMANI wave has hit homes as well, with Playstation versions of Pop'n'Music, Dance Dance Revolution, and Guitar Freaks, as well as a Dreamcast version of Pop'n. Add to this the merchandising, including handheld LCD games, t-shirts, and soundtrack & remix CDs, and you've got an immensely popular series of games. The BEMANI arcade and home lines at a glance: ________________________________________________ _____Arcade: Note: all of the BEMANI series games are JAMMA standard, and thus will work in an JAMMA cabinet. However, keep in mind that the controls of all of the games series are unique to that series, and thus you can't install a Beatmania board into a Street Fighter II cabinet and expect to be able to play it. Generally, none of the BEMANI series can be conversions, only dedicated. (You can, from what I've understood, swap boards within a series - a Beatmania Complete Mix board will work in a Beatmania 3rd Mix cabinet, and so on) Price notes: All of the BEMANI games have a suggested price of JY200 per play. Rarity: means how common it is to find this release in an arcade. Ranges from Common+ (extremely common) to Extremely Rare. Note that the flow is C+, C, C-, U-, U, U+, R-, R, R+, ER. This marking will show up throughout the rest of the document, and does not cover games outside of their region (for example, Beatmania for PSX is Common+ in Japan, but would probably rate a Rare- in the US) BdRarity: this is how common the board, or the guts of the machine, is. For example, Beatmania 2nd Mix was very popular in it's day, and thus should have a lot of boards out there - however, actually finding the game in the arcades is tough, as the board has more than likely been replaced by a newer, more popular mix (buying a new board is much cheaper than buying a new machine - it would be the equivilant of buying a new Playstation every time you wanted to play a new game, but having the PSX's cost be over $30,000). Area (territory) notes: All of the releases are understood to be for Japan only. If a release is not intended for the Japanese market, it is noted under 'Area:'. Label: This is a category for the Beatmania series only - it is what color the label on the turntable is... If the color is unknown, the category won't be there at all...

Controls:Two sets of seven action buttons and a turntable, 1P & 2P start buttons, effects button Notes: Has a modified version of the Double mode, where the image is split in half and shown in the area where the notes usually are, and the notes are shown where the image usually is - this makes it _much_ easier to do, as you don't have to look all the way from one side of the screen to the other... Title: Beatmania 5th Mix Time to Get Down Format: Two-player arcade, dedicated cabinet Release: mid9/99 Rarity: Common- Label: Yellow Tagline: 'Love The Beat!' Controls:Two sets of five action buttons and a turntable, 1P & 2P start buttons, effects button Notes: The latest installment of Beatmania is the first to feature known (aka. real) artists. Taking a nod from the DDR series, this mix features many songs from the Dancemania series, as well as some 4th Mix classics, as well as (at least) two songs by non-Japanese artists! Much to my delight, 5th Mix features one song each by Mix Master Mike (of Beastie Boy fame, with the song "All-Star" [HipHop]) and Dimitri from Paris (with a Mondo House tune). The 4th Mix stylings are back in full, although the song selection interface has changed so that the song titles are all shown in a box to the right of the screen, along with difficulty (difficulties are shown as numbers in colored stars - red stars are new songs and blue stars are old songs, if memory serves). Even the clubs that you play at (shown on the difficuly select screen) are the same. Now let's just hope that the Western-artist trend continues in later Mixes (Konami - hint: license the song "Cello" by Here. - it's perfectly suited for Beatmania) Title: Pop'n Stage Format: Two-player arcade, dedicated cabinet Release: 10/99 Rarity: Uncommon- Controls:Two sets of five pressure sensitive foot-pads, song selection buttons, start buttons. Notes: Yes, Pop'n Music and DDR have had a bastard child, and it's name is Pop'n Stage. This new title is basically a cross between DDR and PnM, hands down. Instead of the plus shaped pads of DDR, you get two sets of five pads in the shape of an X for PnS (this layout is somewhat decieving, as a one-player game, or six-button mode, uses half of each X - the player stands in the middle of the Xs... Of course, the other version is 10-button mode, and can be seen as either a sort of DDR double mode or a two player mode). And of course, the same PnM design is used throughout the game. Sure to be a big hit for fans of PnM... Title: Dance Dance Revolution DAM mix Format: One-player 'arcade', dedicated 'cabinet' Release: 10/99 Rarity: -- Controls:Four pressure sensitive foot-pads, more... Notes: A cross between DDR and DAM (a form of karaoke), this 'arcade' release is actually more akin to the PSX version of DDR in look. Definately geared more towards karaoke bars than arcades, it's a fairly lightweight-looking unit that has a screen that displays both the dance steps as well as the lyrics to the song. That's right, dance and sing at the same time... Oh my... ~not yet released?~ Title: Dancing Stage featuring Dreams Come True Format: Two-player arcade, dedicated cabinet Release: 11/99 Rarity: -- Songs: ? Controls:Two sets of four pressure-sensitive footpads, two song selection buttons, 1P & 2P start buttons Notes: A variation of DDR that features music by pop group Dreams Come True ~not yet released~ Title: Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix Format: Two-player arcade, dedicated cabinet Release: 11/3/99 Rarity: -- Songs: 73 Controls:Two sets of four pressure-sensitive footpads, two song selection buttons, 1P & 2P start buttons Notes: New features include on-screen lyrics and a Non-Stop mode in which you will dance three songs coninously (back to back to back). Also features PSX Memory Card Support. ~not yet released~ Title: Rap Freaks Format: Two-player arcade, dedicated cabinet Release: ?/99 Rarity: -- Songs: ?

The disc itself sports 48 minigames, including at least one Guitar Freaks style game. It really is a blast for multiplayer play, and is recommended if you need a break from BEMANI...

Release: 5nov1999 or feb2000 Rarity: -- Area: Europe Notes: Not much is known about this release currently, other than the fact that the in-game graphics are different from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Mixes (possibly 4th Mix graphics?), and that the disc is rumoured to contain some popular European songs, including music by The Orbital, Fatboy Slim, and Moloko. It also contains some aspects of gameplay that were unfamiliar to h0l, who provided me with this information - again, possibly a modified 4th, which contains additional gameplay versions? More on this as it become available. Title: Drummania System: Playstation2 Format: DVD-ROM?CD-ROM? SRP: TBA Release: 4mar2000? Rarity: -- Songs: TBA Notes: This game was announced at the same press conference that the Playstation2 was announced at. All reports say that the game is arcade-perfect. Of course, the same reports say that the game could have easily been done on the original PSX (and I do happen to agree). It wouldn't surprise me if we see either a normal PSX version, or a dual-compatible version on regular CD-ROM (ie. a PSX game packaged in a PS2 case, as the PS2 is backwards compatible). More on this as 12.3.4 (4mar2000, Japanese calender version) comes closer. ~not yet released~ Title: Drummania Controller (tentative title) System: Playstation2 (& Playstation?) SRP: TBA Release: 4mar2000 Rarity: -- Notes: This controller comes in two main pieces, and from the pictures looks absolutely massive. First, you have the main five pad (3-drum, 2-cymbol) body, which also sports the Start and Select buttons, and the foot (bass) pedal is connected by a cord (which looks to be removable). The color scheme is red and black, and the controller is pretty nice looking. The pads appear to be rubber (a good thing), and the foot pedal appears to be just that - a pedal (another good thing). Also expect matching drumsticks to be included, more than likely branded with the Konami logo, although I'd guess that any drumsticks would work... One note, though - don't expect quite the quality of the arcade (not that any of the home controllers even come close, save the DJ Station PRO, to matching the arcade quality) - the arcade uses Yamaha pads, which aren't cheap (they are actual pro-quality electronic drum kit pads). No word on original PSX compatability, although the PSX and PS2 do use the same kind of ports (for example, the PS2's DualShock2 is perfectly compatible with the PSX)... ~not yet released~ 0.05: Accessory List________________________________________ _________________________________________ _____LCD Game List: Note: As far as I know all of the BEMANI Pocket games have headphone jacks, built in speakers, and require 3 watch-style batteries.
