DDRMAX: Dance Dance Revolution 6thMIX (PlayStation 2)

DDRMAX: Dance Dance Revolution 6thMIX for PlayStation 2 is more or less direct port of the original arcade release, with two additional songs.

Unused Graphics#

Various unused graphics can be found in DATA/FILEDATA.BIN on the game disc. The content featured is more or less the same as, and features leftovers from the arcade release.

Style Select#

As Joint Premium is an arcade-only functionality, this graphic goes unused.

Song Selection Screen#

This shoshinsha mark graphic might have been intended to be displayed in songs with a rating of 2 or lower in Basic, as is in Dance Dance Revolution 5thMIX and its home port.

Two markers that could have been used to denote a highlighted song is a Long Version, despite there being none in the final game.

Gameplay#

A graphic for an unused "Freeze!" judgement, which would have likely be seen while holding a freeze arrow.

These 5thMix-styled Game Over and Danger graphics don't seem to be used.

Unused Text#

A number of strings are left in the game from 6thMIX AC.

Name Entry Word Blacklist#

Between 0x0015E998, and 0x0015EA38 (logical addresses range 0x0025E918 - 0x0025E9B8) is 6thMIX AC's name entry word blacklist.
