Dance Dance Revolution 5thMIX (PlayStation)

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Check if https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSzTqEbvvTw this bug can consistently be done when failing to save a game on PSX and PS2.

Dance Dance Revolution 5thMIX was the last game in the series released for the original PlayStation in Japan. Because of that, it has lots of extra content, such as a background gallery and an extensive Edit Data Bank.

Unused Graphics#

Extra Mix Leftovers#

Assorted leftover graphics from Dance Dance Revolution Extra Mix. Most of these are from the gameplay screen.

Unused Background Animation Sprites#

Three of the game's background animation sets have unused sprites, some of which are also unused in the game's Arcade release. For consistency, the names of the files and of the sets are taken from that release as well.

Alphabet Sort Letters#

Several letters used for the alphabet sort option in the music selection screen. As there are no songs that begin with these letters, they go unused.

Top-Left and Top-Right Arrows#

Graphics for the top-left and top-right arrows, meant to be used in Edit mode. Possibly leftovers from Dance Dance Revolution 4th Mix.

Type 1	Type 2

Early Guide Graphics#

Somewhat "plain" graphics for some of the sections in the Guide menu. It's worth noticing that all of them have finalized versions.

Unused Text/Code#

On READ_DT.BIN, there is a listing containing names of songs from the first game in the franchise to this one, likely used in the Data Bank screen. However, several songs do not have data bank edits, and thus, have their text/order code unused. Below, is a list of the unused songs' names and IDs, as the order codes seem to be in a different order.
