This article has a talk page!pop'n music 6 (PlayStation) pop'n music 6 was the final port of the eponymous rhythm game series to the original PlayStation. At the time, it had the largest song list of the home releases of the series, including almost every song from pop'n stage. This abundance also meant that the graphics had to be largely compromised, and a few features introduced in the arcade release removed.
NOTE: All listed offsets take in consideration the file POPDATA.PAK.
