I go for your "BRILLIANT 2U + SP-TRIP MACHINE + PARANOIA EVOLUTION" banner conversion "TikalFan9000", thank you

Several recent discoveries relating to the DDR games have been made by users of TCRF.

It has been discovered that more unused data than we thought lies in the DDR 2ndMIX data.

Early CD for EL RITMO TROPICAL

(Funnily enough this song was not featured until DDR 2ndMIX LINK VERSION came out)

Remnant of early background for KEEP ON MOVIN'


Remnant of early CD for PARANOiA MAX -DIRTY MIX-


Early CD for PUT YOUR FAITH IN ME


Remnant of early banner for PUT YOUR FAITH IN ME

(It's the same banner found within the data for DDR Best of Cool Dancers, albeit here it's slighty overwritten.)

Early CD for stomp to my beat


Placeholder Roulette CD


Placeholder Roulette banner


DDR 2ndMIX LINK VERSION has these leftover graphics for the STEP BATTLE songs:



DDR 2ndMIX CLUB VERSiON has the following graphics:

Early CD for BRILLIANT 2U


Early banner for BRILLIANT 2U

(Everyone knows about this banner, with the artist being credited as "VULGAR Inc." rather than NAOKI. It may also be in Best of Cool Dancers data but I can't confirm if that's the case.)

Early background for EL RITMO TROPICAL

(Honestly, I don't know what the fuck this background is supposed to be at all...)

And finally,

Early banner for stomp to my beat

That early background of El Ritmo looks like something out of the first two DDR Universe games.

---

HELL YEAH it does. What with it being textless and all.

I already mention some of these before in previous < PAGE 3 > as per requested by "jch02140" because he really really want to see these variations so badly

---

a thing
Best of Cool Dancers has more complete versions of some of the unused graphics in the 2ndMIX data

Keep On Movin' - STEP BATTLE


PARANOiA MAX ~DIRTY MIX~


i can confirm the incomplete B2U background and DUB-I-DUB banner can also be found there

---

Uh... are you guys calling the actual "PARANOIA MAX ~DIRTY MIX~" CD an early one?

It is an early version, though.
Look at the inner ring. The design in the early version is different.
Despite that, this early version was used in DanceDanceRevolution BEST HITS and DanceDanceRevolution CS US, altough with a reduced palette.

---

Oh you're right.
But even then it wasn't "early" it it was actually used in the game, right?

It could have been an underlook. Because the early versions are found before the final versions in the data, it's very likely the staff of the PS releases got lazy and got the first image they found that matched.

---

Well, CS releases are a mixed bag of stuff (*cough* DDRMAX2 JP CS...). But that's talk for another topic 😝

I figured I'd repost them just to make everyone aware of it again. You never know what you'll find in the data.

I wonder if there are more leftover banners to find and Convert

Well, i've already checked DDR 1.5 to MAX2, including DS1.5 and DSEM2
There doesn't seem to be anything new so far (other than what others and i already discovered...)

---

time for you to check ddr extreme them tikal

---

when i'm done with sys573 guitarfreaks/drummania. maybe

---

Extreme doesn't have anything that hasn't been discovered already in terms of graphics.

I'm too far for "DDR EXTREME" to discuss those variations.
