Dance Dance Revolution 2ndReMIX Append Club Version Vol.2

The second of two Append releases for Dance Dance Revolution 2ndReMIX. It mostly includes songs from beatmania IIDX substream.

"Give it to me, give it to me..."

Unused Songs#

Unused Songs#

Graphical and stepchart data for two unused songs can be found within READ_DT.BIN. Note that all the graphics are normally compressed under Bemani-LZ.

The first song is Chotto kiitena (ZANSHIN-NA MIX), notable for being the only song from the Arcade Club Versions to not appear in a console Dance Dance Revolution game.

Steps - 0x5356DC
The steps themselves match the arcade data.

The second song is rather strange, being a variation of the song BRILLIANT 2U (CLUB VER.). Because the song doesn't sound any different between its difficulties in beatmania IIDX substream, it's likely that this was meant to be an "in-roulette" variation, much like how the song PARANOiA MAX (CLUB ANOTHER VER.) has one in this game. Despite this, the chart data matches the used version.

Unused/Leftover Graphics#

Background Animations#

Found in some songs' data areas within READ_DT.BIN are textures that are either unused or that have unused palette configurations.
Note that this does not considerate the main 2ndReMIX release, as well as the previous append release.

  • Internal label: 1MDAN_16
  • Song
YOU MAKE ME

While this texture is called by this single song, it is always completely obscured by a different graphic.

When Booted Without Disc Changing#

Since this disc is an Append Disc, booting it directly will cause the following screens to appear. The player can press Start to proceed to the second screen.
