Unused Graphics#

Placeholder Song Entries#

There are also numerous graphics for placeholder song entries. Both banner graphics appear to be slightly earlier versions of those of the song Dynamic! Atomic! Space cow boys & girls ~ver.1~. These graphics encompass the IDs 325 to 349.

Early Title Tags#

While pop'n music 9 uses separate title tag graphics to be displayed during gameplay, many songs, new and old alike, still have these graphics in their background files. In general, these are just blurrier than their final counterparts, with the following notable exceptions and additions:

• WHITE BIRDS‍ '​ unused title tag has a stray transparent column on the right corner.
• The unused title tag graphics for the songs S.S.L ~Super Special Love~, Wataru seken wa oni bakari opening theme, Moete hero, and Hero ~HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO~ have a transparent background, which is not the case for any of the used ones.
• S.S.L ~Super Special Love~‍ '​s unused title tag has bigger text.
• Taiyou ni hoero no theme‍ '​s unused title tag also credits the composer, Katsuo Ohno.
• Wataru seken wa oni bakari opening theme‍ '​s unused title tag only lists the song as "Wataru seken wa oni bakari". Similarly, Hero ~HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO~‍ '​s unused title tag lists it as just "Hero".
• Moete hero‍ '​s unused title tag has less stretched text.
• The title tag graphics for the songs Tenohira no kakumei, Filament Circus, blue moon sea, and GOODBYE CHOCOLATE KISS are less blurry than their final counterparts.

Other#

In addition to these, Tenohira no kakumei has an even earlier title tag graphic which has it shown stretched differently, obscuring part of the furigana.

Characters#

Portraits#

The character Shishamo [8] contains two unused portraits for both of its palettes. The first palette's portrait does not feature its owner, Satou, while the second palette's is simply smaller.

Sprites#

The files MAX_9A\2.GCZ and MAX_9B\2.GCZ, which are sprite sheet graphics for both palettes of the character TSURARA [9], contain a placeholder texture. It can also be found within 2.GCZ and 3.GCZ of the folder TOME_9A, which contains the graphics for the first palette of the character MC.TOME [9].

Graphic	Text	Translated
	ダミーdeath ゴメン。	This is a dummy Sorry.

Unused Charts#

Each of the songs in pop'n music 9 have filled slots for 12 charts, even though normally up to 5 are used, as follows:

This section documents oddities in this data, which are mainly observed in difficulty slots that are not used by a song.

0000~0006 - System BGM#

The system background music slots contain chart data, too! They're all marginally different versions of I REALLY WANT TO HURT YOU‍ '​s 5-BUTTON chart, with the only difference being in the background music parameter in the beginning of the song, which is set to 0D instead of 09.

0021 - SPICY PIECE [HYPER/BATTLE]#

The placeholder chart slots for this song are a slightly different version of the used HYPER, with the only difference being in the order of some of the initial commands; in the unused chart, the keysounds are set before the timing windows, while the used one has the timing windows being set first.

0022 - FUNKY TOWN '75#

This song slot contains a HYPER chart that is different from the regular placeholder data for the song, which are copies of the used NORMAL chart. However, the only difference seems to be that most keysounds are loaded much earlier than others.

0044 - Woneijatheizau [HYPER/BATTLE]#

The placeholder chart slots for this song are a marginally different version of the used HYPER; the only difference is in the position of the chart-ending command, which is at 92647ms in the unused chart, and at 93529ms in the used one.

0096 - In a Grow [HYPER/EX]#

The placeholder chart slots for this song contain an earlier version of the EX chart, with the following major differences:

• Due to some of the changes listed below, the unused chart has 510 notes, compared to the final's 541.
• The unused chart is synced a little slower, at a flat 120 BPM, compared to the (approximately) 120.03 BPM of the final chart. It's worth noting that the HYPER chart is also synced at 120.03 BPM, while the NORMAL, 5BUTTON and Battle charts are also synced at a flat 120 BPM.
• Many notes have slight disalignments in the unused chart.
• The end of measure 3 towards measure 5 have different patterning.

Unused	Final

• Several 1 presses from measures 6 to 8 are background keysounds in the unused chart.

Unused	Final

• A 4 press at measure 21 beat 0 was moved to measure 20 beat 3.75.

Unused	Final

• A 7 press at measure 29, as well as a 8 press at measure 30, were originally background keysounds.

• A 2 press at measure 33 was originally a background keysound.

Unused	Final

• A 2 press at measure 41 was originally a background keysound.

Unused	Final

• Two 9 presses, two 8s and a 4 at measure 42 were originally background keysounds. Furthermore, a 5, a 6, and a 7 were originally placed at 6, 7, and 9.

Unused	Final

• Two 7 presses at measure 46 were originally background keysounds. Furthermore, a background keysound was originally a 5 press.

Unused	Final

• At measures 48 and 50, all 3 presses were originally at 1, while all 1s were background keysounds.

Measure	Unused	Final
48
50

• At measure 49, all 1 presses were originally background keysounds. In addition to this, a 6 and a 4 were originally a lane to the left, a 3 and 7 were originally at 4 and 6, and a 5 at 7. Similar changes were done to measure 51, though the placement of a 4 note was not affected.

Measure	Unused	Final
49
51

• The unused chart has an additional 1 note at measure 52.

Unused	Final

To replace the NORMAL chart with this chart, use the following pnach patch:

patchExtended=1,EE,236fb8,word,0000005a,00000059

0203 - 100 sec. Kitchen Battle!!#

The placeholder EX chart slot for this song contains a marginally different version of the used HYPER; the only difference being in the background music parameter in the beginning of the song, which is set to 07 instead of 0B.

0228 - Chaos Age [HYPER/BATTLE]#

The placeholder chart slots for this song contain a marginally different version of the used HYPER; the only difference is that some muted keysound calling parameters call the keysound 7F instead.

0230 - Prism Heart [HYPER]#

The placeholder chart slots for this song contain a marginally different version of the used HYPER; the only difference is that the unused chart has an additional measure before the chart-ending command.

0236 - Torikaeshite yaru!~Again,My Lovely Day~ [HYPER]#

The placeholder chart slots for this song contain a slightly different version of the used HYPER. The most noticeable difference is the lack of two notes at measure 39; a 5 note at beat 1, and a 9 note at beat 2.5. Curiously, the original release of the game has a similar problem, but spanning almost 8 measures worth of notes.

Unused	Final (ver.JAB)

0242 - Miracle Moon [HYPER/5BUTTON/BATTLE]#

The placeholder chart slots for this song contain a slightly different version of the used HYPER. However, the only difference seems to be in the keysound loading parameters.

0318 - Kanashiine#

Watch on YouTubeThis song has an unused Battle HYPER chart with 605 notes. Notably, it is rated 60, way beyond the 1-43 difficulty scale used by the series at the time, and even beyond the highest rated Battle chart in the game (Butapunch no theme Battle HYPER, which is rated 48). The following pnach patch reenables it:
