Dance Dance Revolution (PlayStation, USA)

The first foray of Dance Dance Revolution into the American market. This game is based on Japan's Dance Dance Revolution Best Hits release, and has most of its same features.

Unused Songs#

Throughout READ_DT.BIN are graphical files for seven songs that do not appear at all in normal gameplay. Most of them also feature steps, which were converted to a readable format in the downloads below.
Note that, save for the songs' backgrounds, the files are compressed under Bemani-LZ, and that the listed offsets apply to each file's first instance.

BAD GIRLS#

Notably has a censored variant of the song's background, without the gun graphic.
