Interesting Little Things in DDR

Do La Maquina de Baila and Lord Of The Dance Machine count?


They should have just paid to use the Dancemania songs, instead of making their own terirble covers of Dancemania covers of popular songs :{

Both Club Version discs do this as well.

Well, I think they used public domain clips for some songs. The ones that come to my mind are the rap part of Put Your Faith in Me,
the same rap part can be heard on Pinky's song on Bust a Groove/Move.

DJ Tomoe: can you write down the tracklist (write down the song's title and track number when it plays) when you try it later. Oh, and your CD player may automatically skip Track 1 (the game data, I believe). So take note when your CD player automatically plays a song or not.

My friend was trying to explain why this happens to me before. I think it was because the game data is loaded and then when a song is loaded in the game it just reads the audio file during gameplay. I could be wrong but I believe the arcade discs do the same thing for the same reason.

Early PlayStation games didn't have a proprietary sound decoder available for them, so they used raw wav or CD audio for any music on the disc. Sony released audio tools after release of course, but games with a strong focus on music still used the raw wav or CD audio formats to keep the audio as high quality/uncompressed as possible. Better tools were eventually released and became necessary for games like DDR which included a lot of song data.

System573 hardware is based on a PlayStation chipset, so it's likely that Konami employed the same technique for the audio on games using that hardware. I know DDR 1st used the CD Audio trick for sure, as that's how I originally got my mp3 of the game version of Money, but I never bothered to check any of the other arcade discs as I know digital I/O games use the compressed/encrypted format.

That's dumb, I was really hoping that there would be something extra after 100%, but I guess there isn't.

ahh!! The same hapenned with my Wining Eleven 3 & 4 CDs.

There was a TV Christmas movie that had 2 elfs playing B4U. I can't remember the movie title. D:

In the movie Grandma's Boy, both Make A Jam and Dead End are played.

---

In Yes Man, Jim Carry plays FLOWERS by TERRA.

In DDR EXTREME (US and JP CS), Trip Machine had an unknown BPM (Around 225 BPM I guess...) in the beginning if the song before it returned to 160 BPM.
There was a video (It's gone now...) of Trip Machine being played in x0.25 in a hacked EXTREME CS and the sectors inside the arrows wasn't flashing at the speed it would at 160 BPM.

I don't know wether it's supposed to do that or that there really is another hidden BPM in Trip Machine.

O_O More surprising is that he actually learned to play DDR instead of just dancing regularly

---

Also, Innocence of Silence has a BPM change within the song for the slow down, but the BPM on Supernova says it is constant.

The singer in Higher and colors-for extreme- is the same person. Sunny Mc Nair.

Speaking of DDR in movies, anyone remember that dance machine scene in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen? Skip to 4:10 to see it:

---

Uuurrrrgh, i think they actually DO have machines like this in Japan and Korea, but from what this looks like, i think this was just made for the movie.

---

Yeah, I remember that scene. Too bad they talk during gameplay and don't really focus-focus.

I remember that! Oh the things I would do to get that in a nearby arcade...

---

HOW ARE THEY EVEN PLAYING THERE ARE NO ARROWS ON THE SCREEN AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH

TYMA, CONTROL YOURSELF, IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!!

Pump It Up on WWE Monday Night RAW was still the best :
