All Konami/Rhythm/Bemani games are listed as non-working in MAME due to sync issues, even DDR 3rd Mix/Extreme. I have nothing to prove to you. Don't believe me. Meh....I heard the author of this fork is offering his help via Twitter

At this point, I think this fork is dead, With the latest release of MAME all these games are now playable. Just as with any rhythm game on MAME, they are listed as non-working due to sync issues that aren't 100% perfect, but they are playable. https://www.mamedev.org/releases/whatsnew_0247.txt DANCE 86.4 FUNKY RADIO STATION (E01:J:A:A:2005040400) [Taro] Dance Dance Revolution Karaoke Mix 2 (GQ947 VER.

Under Hexedit; what does Premium Free do? Also, I thought there was an option so that the game doesn't end after 3 songs... Where is that option?

Link updated; feel free to mirror on a faster upload site.

Thanks for pointing out the folder. I literally had it on my desktop and was going through this thread looking for a separate HEX folder... Since people are loosening up on releasing n-0 game uploads, who has heard of this DDR A20 Omnimix game I came across looking through old posts...

Ok, the game 100% works. Yet, it only works for me in maintenance mode and the background is black when picking a song... So, probably going to have to play around with that.

You're overthinking it or gat a bad dump or bad tools. Both versions are cracked and should be in the same directory.

No idea what 'Set the model to A' means. Having said that, you can't be upset about a public leak on a public forum, that you signed up on. The code that you follow - the average joe does not - those codes are reserved for private sites.

It's possible the above isn't photoshop and it is actually dumped. Having said that, seems there is some unwritten rule in the rhythm community to not release current Arcade Games. This guy who does patches won't even host current/n-0 arcade patches. We can debate all day, about if the reasons are valid; or the reasons people are...nervous about streaming/youtubing current games are worth being nervous about. I'm indifferent, but not surprised with chunithm PC's response on another rhythm game thread. Just the mentality this niche community has. If it gets uploaded, it will probably be from a 3rd party who doesn't want it traced back to them.

Thank You. I made progress. Hopefully, last question. I can not get past this screen. Do you know what it says?

What icon or executable are you clicking to open the game in the 16 page dump?

You're saying this is the only necessary thing to get the game to work? Just download this? Then click what? Just to confirm I'm not doing something wrong.

Unlike most games in MAME, System 573 games, which is the arcade board Konami uses for their Dance Dance Revolution games (among others), needs to be setup and installed before playing. A very tedious process of messing with 'Dip Switches', 'Slot Devices,' and Security Cartridge Data. The following games are pre-installed in this MAME (0.243) package. Dance Dance Revolution 2nd Mix Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix - Ver. Korea Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix Plus Dance Dance Revolution 4th Mix Dance Dance Revolution 4th Mix Plus Dance Dance Revolution 4th Mix Plus Solo Dance Dance Revolution 5th Mix Dance Dance Revolution Extreme Dance Dance Revolution Kids Dance Dance Revolution Solo Bass Mix Dance Dance Revolution USA Dancing Stage - Internet Ranking DDR MAX - Dance Dance Revolution 6th Mix DDR Max 2 - Dance Dance Revolution 7th Mix MAME database considers these games 'not working' due to sync issues, yet this fork of MAME has attempted to offset these sync issues through years of patching, testing and manipulation of the software. Some games are now working properly that didn't work before, such as DDR Solo Bass Mix. 😃 If you want to add your your own System 573/ Bemani games to this fork of MAME; follow the instructions in the 'mame_compile_bemani' file, in the parent folder, and replace the roms you are using with roms from the pr9137.rar file to addresses security cartridge issues. https://easyupload.io/wmxws3 This link will only be active for 30 days if that. Make sure you fork or backup to Nyaa or something like that.
