0.01: Intro_________________________________________________


'DJ Syndrome' is the main tagline of the marketing campaign for 
Beatmania 4th Mix ~The Beat Goes On~. It's also now a guide to Beatmania 
and the rest of the BEMANI series of rhythm games by Konami. While not 
comprehensive, it should begin to answer some of the questions that you 
might have about the games. Also, the focus of this document is 
currently the Beatmania series of Playstation (PSX) games, although much 
more is covered.

This is the main document in my DJ Syndrome series of FAQs, and contains 
not only play information, such as how to unlock hidden songs and song 
lists, but it also lists a lot of other information that may prove very 
useful for the BEMANI series player, such as soundtrack info, and info 
on things such as the BEMANI LCD portables. If you are looking for just 
play information on a specific title, I have condensed the information 
on all games that are covered in the Quick Guide section in to short, 
game-specific FAQs. Please note, however, that this FAQ contains all of 
the information that is in the game-specific FAQs, and then some. Also, 
these game-specific FAQs are lower on my list of things to work on, so 
they will not necessarily be updated at the same time that this FAQ 
is...

         ___________________________________________________
_____Aim:

When this document was first started, it was aimed at being a reference 
piece for the existing Playstation Beatmania games, providing song 
lists, hidden song/mode info, and any other pertinant information. 
Although it has obviously expanded since then, the document was 
considered to have it's first full release (ver.1.00) upon this pre-
requisite's completion. If this work is to ever include the above info 
for all of the BEMANI games (home and arcade), then it will hit v.2.00 
status, although this happening is extremely unlikely. The new focus is 
simply to continue to present BEMANI information in the same style, 
quality, and quantity as has been established, as well as including any 
extra information (such as lyrics, and name sources) that may be of 
interest to the readers.



0.02: Beatmania Quick Guide_________________________________


Overall, here's how things work: Each disc has a core set of songs that 
will be available no matter how badly you score. There are also a set of 
hidden songs for each stage after the first that you much get certain 
scores in certain genres to open up. Once you play a song, it's 
available in Free Mode and Training Mode. A single PSX Beatmania Memory 
Card Save can only hold a single Append Disc's save information (4th Mix 
and beyond are different stories), so I would personally recommend a 
different Memory Card for each Append disc (and don't forget to mark 
them...).


As for hints/techniques, no long techniques section here, just three 
main tips:

- Practice, practice, practice.

- Use the training mode - it's invaluable.

- Buy the controller that was made for the game.


And now for the lowdown and the important information on the 
releases...:


                                       ____________________
_____Beatmania (Arcade & Append Discs):

Title:   Beatmania
System:  PSX

Intro:   The Playstation game that started it all, the first Beatmania 
release includes songs from the original Arcade release (1st Mix, if you 
will) and the 2nd Mix Arcade release, as well as original Playstation 
tracks. The first disc, entitled 'Arcade' are the tracks from the 
arcade, and the second disc, entitled 'Append' (the first of many as it 
turns out...) has nine non-arcade  and 3rd Mix tracks, including a remix 
of the Metal Gear Solid Main Theme. The Append Disc serves as a sort of 
add-on disc, as you must first insert the original Arcade Disc. This 2-
disc set recently went Platinum (one million copies sold).

__Hidden Songs:

Requirements to get the hidden songs:

Arcade Disc:
In order to get:   score at least: in this (or one of these) genre(s): 

                                   Stage 1:
japanese hip-hop   60,000          any genre
konamix            90,000          any genre

                                   Stage 2:
house              40,000          ballade
house              45,000          break-bts
house              50,000          techno
house              60,000          hip-hop street mix, konamix
house              85,000          japanese hip-hop
minimal techno     70,000          ballade, break-bts
minimal techno     80,000          konamix, techno

                                   Stage 3:
drum'n bass mix    50,000          dj battle
drum'n bass mix    65,000          house
drum'n bass mix    70,000          minimal techno mix
hard tekno         90,000          dj battle, minimal techno mix 
hard tekno         85,000          house
rave (2nd mix)     90,000          dj battle
rave (2nd mix)     100,000         house, minimal techno mix

Append (Yebisu Mix) Disc:
This disc works a little differently from the others. As far as I can 
tell you merely have to play certain songs to get the full set, not 
score a certain number of points. The following combination will open up 
all the songs:

1st Stage-----2nd Stage-----3rd Stage-----4th Stage
funk          asian trad.   bossa groove  rest...

That should leave you with all of the rest of the songs (Styl Garage, 
Spd Garage, Funky Jazz Groove, Hard House, Bigbeat Mix, and Bossa Groove 
French Version) to choose from in the fourth stage. I'm not positive 
that this will work every time (at this point it still needs checked a 
bit) but it's the one that I got to work...

Append disc, you must first insert the original Arcade Disc.

_____Beatmania Append 4th Mix ~The Beat Goes On~:

Title:   Beatmania Append 4th Mix ~the beat goes on~
System:  PSX

Intro:   In this release we see quite a bit of new features. The first 
is the addition of the 'just great' (or flashing great) mark. Second, we 
have the addition of the great/good counter - it will keep track of how 
many greats/goods you have gotten in a row. We also have a few more 
options for play, including random and mirror. Add to that a bonus edit 
mode and a bunch of cool new songs, and you've got yourself a great 
disc. Also, it's worth noting that this mix is the first major departure 
of in-game graphics in the Beatmania mixes - you'll find totally 
different song selection and end of stage graphics, to name a few. It 
also runs on a 20,000 max per stage point system as opposed to a 10,000 
max (note that you don't get any extra points for long combos like you 
do in DDR).

Options:  hidden - the notes disappear partway down the screen.
          double - one player plays both the 1P & 2P sides.
          battle - 1P & 2P both play the same notes, and it's a battle 
           to see who ends up with the higher gauge - even if one 
           player ends under the normally required level, they still go 
           on (which is normal for all modes).
          random - the notes occur in the same places in the songs, but 
           the button that you have to push is randomised (the 
           turntable stays the same). note that it's not totally random  
           - the buttons that you need to push basically swap positions 
           for the entire song (for example, all of the notes that were 
           the middle white key are now the left blue key, and so on).
          mirror - the five buttons are mirrored (ie. the left ones are 
           now right, and the right one are now on the left). note that  
           because there are an odd number of buttons, the middle white 
           button stays put. also, the turntable is unaffected.

  (in-game option):
          effects: by pressing the select button during gameplay (ie. 
           during the song) you can turn the effect (selectable in the 
           options menu) on and off.

Getting Bonus Edit Mode:
To open up the bonus edit mode (which features 'traditional' Beatmania 
graphics and so-on), first put in the Arcade disc, then Disc Switch to 
either 3rd Mix or Gottamix, then switch to 4th Mix. You'll be in Bonus 
Edit mode. (note: I switched from Arcade to 3rd to Gotta to 4th to open 
up all of the songs - I'm not sure if all of the songs will open up if 
you only use one of the two discs - more on this as I play more). 

Also, after playing through all of the songs, then booting down the 
system and just playing regular 4th Mix, none of the Bonus Mix songs 
came up in training/free mode, which leads me to think that Bonus Mix 
acts like a whole Append disc, and thus requires a whole separate save 
(the same as any other Append disc - there can only be one Append disc 
per save, thus to have all of the songs available at any time, you now 
need a total of five separate saves - ones for Yebisu, 3rd, Gotta, and 
Bonus Edit, which all branch off of the original Arcade disc save, and 
then the 4th Mix save, which is a separate entity.) I have yet to double 
check this, and after finding that the Bonus Edit songs are available in 
normal mode as well, it may be a while before I do...

(note that this stage flow list for Bonus Edit is not quite complete - I 
only played through the mode once, so the songs that I beat the stages 
with (j-pop, j-techno, and house (nagureo kidding)) are not on the chart 
after the stage that I played them in...)


__Hidden Songs:
In order to get:   Do one of these things:   
lounge             -   1. Clear Hard mode 5 times.
dance pop (deep...) |- 2. Beat hard mode without losing.
deep house         -   3. Clear Expert mode once.

Secret Modes:
Special Course (Expert Mode):
Beat Hard mode once.

Another Course (Expert Mode):
Beat Hard mode 5 times.

Horrible Course (Expert Mode):
Beat Hard mode 10 times.

Bonus Course (Expert Mode):
Either beat any of the Expert Mode courses once, and you should get the 
Bonus Course, or beat Hard 20 times. Note that opening up this course 
will also open up the Bonus Edit Mode songs for normal gameplay.

Bonus Edit songs available in normal 4th Mix:
There are two ways to do this - open up the Bonus Course either beating 
Expert mode or beating Hard 20 times, or play Hard mode 50 times (not 
necessarily beating it...)

'Another' versions of songs in Hard Mode:
To get the another version of certain songs in Hard Mode, simply hold 
the select button - if another version is available, then a symbol 
saying 'Another' will appear in the area above the 2P symbol. Not all 
songs have another versions. Also, the another versions of the songs are 
very similar, and usually just have a few hard passages added - the 
difficulty (number of stars) stays the same.

_____Beatmania GB:

Title:   Beatmania GB
System:  GameBoy Color/GameBoy

Intro:   The first Beatmania for a portable system, the GameBoy version, 
which is compatable with all existing GameBoy systems, features songs 
from the 2nd and 3rd Arcade mixes, as well as a few originals. This is 
the first home title to include a feature that keeps track of how many 
greats/good you score in a row (this first appeared in Beatmania in 4th 
Mix in the arcades). Also, a first in the Beatmania releases, a password 
system is included to open up the hidden songs in Free mode.

you've already opened - they're just not accessable - only the DJ Battle 
is (which usually isn't accessable...)


                              ______________________________
_____Beatmania for WonderSwan:

Title:   Beatmania for WonderSwan
System:  WonderSwan

Intro:   The only release so far to actually include a turntable, the 
Wonderswan version of Beatmania includes songs from the 3rd Arcade mix.
Visually and aurally excellent, the WS version's main drawback is it's 
lack of songs - there are only 10 initially, and I have yet to open up 
any hidden songs... Also, it's worth noting that the songs are unchanged 
from the arcade (unlike BM GB, in which the songs are re-formatted for 
the GameBoy's layout), which ends up making things a bit hard at some 
points. Also features a continue mode so that you can turn the system 
off, and when you turn it back on, you'll be back at the stage you were 
on when the system was switched off - a _very_ nice feature...

__Hidden songs, mode:

How to get the two hidden songs:
 - These are some of the easiest hidden songs to get - just merely do 
the highest difficulty songs in each stage in Normal (Stage 1=**, Stage 
2=***, Stage 3=****) and you'll get hard techno in stage 4. You don't 
need to win all three in a row - you can continue as much as you want, 
and as far as I know you don't need a certain score. After you play hard 
techno, medley will open up in 'free' mode.
