Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 4

This game/console's online features are no longer supported. While this game/console's online features were once accessible, they are (as of April 15, 2010) no longer officially supported and online-exclusive features may be documented as now-unseen content.

For Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 4, the fourth and final game in the Ultramix series, Konami forgot to hire a decent graphic designer.

Unused Graphics#

NOTE: All of the following offsets take in consideration x_data_US.bin.

KCEH Logo#

konamiHWI_logo.dds, stored at offset 0x1CAF800, is a logo for Konami's KCE Hawaii branch. At the time of this game's release, Konami reorganized its arcade and console subsidiaries, unifying everything under the Konami brand, so it isn't displayed.

Demo Leftover#

x_adv.dds, located at offset 0x1DB1800, is a leftover from a demo.

Ultramix/Unleashed 3 Leftovers#

Starting from several offsets are leftover images from Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3:

Title/Attract#

0x1BEE000 - ADV.dds

0x1C6F000 - caution_logo.dds

0x1D30800 - warning_logo.dds

0x1D71000 - warning_logo_eu.dds

How To Play#

0x40A7800 - inst_subtitle.dds

0x40C8000 - inst_title.dds

Placeholder Texture#

x_quest_test1.dds, found at offset 0x2155800, is a simple placeholder texture.

MAKE IT BETTER SO REAL MIX#

Early graphics for the song MAKE IT BETTER SO REAL MIX, which use different capitalization for the subtitle and artist, can be found under the IDs "howt" and "less", whose stepfiles would otherwise be used for the How to Play and Lesson Mode sequences:

Unused Stepchart Data#

An additional .ssq file for the song un deux trois, labeled deux.ssq, can be found starting from 0x649A000 in x_data_US.bin. In comparison to the used file, deux_all.ssq, it lacks the Double Beginner chart, along with both Challenge charts, and uses different syncing:

Unused Metadata Files#

While this game no longer uses .sif files to grab the songs' metadata, instead opting to have it directly in the .ssq (stepchart) files, a couple new songs, as well as every previous DLC song, has them. The following is a list of the new songs that have these files, as well as differences between the final metadata and extra parameters should they have any.

• CHOCOLATE PHILOSOPHY
  • The .sif file has the BPM display set to 219, which was corrected to 220 in the final metadata.
  • The .sif contains additional Groove Radar parameters, as follows:

 57 /   0 / 1508 /  2 / 110
 87 /   0 / 1355 / 10 / 165
203 / 421 / 2813 / 12 / 607
 56 /   0 / 1508 /  2 / 110
 87 /   0 / 1381 / 10 / 165
208 / 473 / 2557 /  3 / 607

• CLASSIC PARTY triathlon
  • The .sif file misspells the song's title as "CLASSIC PARTY triathalon".
  • The .sif contains additional Groove Radar parameters, though they're all the same, and are assumed to be placeholders.

1 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 36

• Dual Love
  • The .sif contains additional Groove Radar parameters, though they're all the same, and are assumed to be placeholders. Otherwise, the metadata is identical to the used file's.

1 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 42

• ECSTASY
  • Curiously, this .sif is in binary data rather than plaintext.
  • The BPM display in the .sif is set to 140, while in the final data, it was updated to 0-150.
  • The .sif contains additional Groove Radar parameters, as follows:

 98 /    0 / 0 /  6 / 133
136 /  946 / 0 /  8 / 232
160 / 1726 / 0 / 12 / 266
106 /    0 / 0 / 16 / 133
136 /  758 / 0 / 15 / 232
172 / 1974 / 0 / 11 / 299

• Hunting For You
  • The .sif file capitalizes the song's title as "Hunting for you".
  • The .sif contains additional Groove Radar parameters, though they're all the same, and are assumed to be placeholders.

1 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 26

• MONDO STREET
  • The .sif file capitalizes the song's title as "Mondo Street".
  • The .sif contains additional Groove Radar parameters, as follows:

126 /    0 / 1712 / 14 / 181
161 / 3832 / 2431 / 28 / 271
247 / 3832 / 1264 / 52 / 452
115 /    0 / 2101 /  9 / 181
165 / 3832 / 2490 / 19 / 271
235 / 3832 / 1653 / 31 / 452

• The Problem
  • The measure count is set to 55 in the .sif, which was decreased to 54 in the final data.

Many of the game's .ssq files list difficulty ratings for Beginner and Oni charts, though they are not visible to the user.
