Lumines Remastered

Lumines Remastered is yet another remake of the first game in the series, now borrowing several gameplay features from Lumines II and Lumines: Electronic Symphony. The Shinin‍ ' saga is truly endless.

Unused Graphic#

Within efdistortion.bytes is an unused texture labeled Tx_Dummy_01, which consists of an illustration of Paccho and Den-paccho, which are both mascots for Tokyo Gas. Given the texture's name, it's a placeholder.

Unseen Background Colors#

Several skins have background color changes which go unseen due to videos or other elements completely covering them. For the most part, they seem to be the same as the ones used in the original Lumines: Puzzle Fusion. Natively, the color values are divided by 255.

Unused Text#

The game's main text data repository, messagedata.bytes, contains several unused text lines:

Gameplay#

During the gameplay in Challenge, Single Skin and VS CPU/VS 2P modes, the name of the song played is displayed at the bottom right corner of the screen. Text entries for the skins Neodymium, Fanatic and merci can be found, although they cannot be normally played in these modes (Neodymium can only be played in Time Attack mode, merci is only heard during the credits, and Fanatic is completely unused).

String	Text
BgmNameSkin41	♪Neodymium
BgmNameSkin42	♪Fanatic
BgmNameSkin43	♪merci

Skin Edit#

In a similar fashion, strings for those same three skins can be found among the text seen in the Skin Edit menu.

String	Text
BgmName41	Neodymium
BgmName42	Fanatic
BgmName43	merci

Other#

String SaveLoadXB45 seems to be a leftover from Lumines LIVE!.

LUMINES LIVE! is unable to save/load data at this time.

Unused Sounds#

Within the game's files, many unused audio files can be found.

Announcer#

These can be found in soundsystem.bytes.

Song Previews#

These can be found in editscene.bytes.

Revisional Differences#

The patch differences apply to the Windows and console releases of the game.

Fixed an unspecified issue that happened when the Borderless Window option is toggled.
Other minor performance improvements and bug fixes.
