So, I was messing with the dumped E3 build of Extreme CS (USA) using PSound and PCSX2, and there's a LOT of SFX from JP Extreme and before sitting unused with some graphics looking very similar to DS Fusion's even down to some words using UK spelling such as Favourite instead of Favorite.
I've heard before that the pre-SN era games on PS2 use effectively the same engine underneath, but the one used in Extreme US and it's siblings is the same as before but with extra stuff bolted on. I call this version of the engine, "The Festival engine".
But considering that there's the JP style assets in Extreme US and its siblings, maybe there's a way to force/trick the game into loading them instead of the final version.

More or less those. Only issue is to figure where and how the graphics are loaded and dealt with and the values and addresses in the game's memory.

Hey guys,
life had become REALLY busy the last couple of years - only just bow really getting back into reverse engineering DDR titles. Just posting to say "I am not giving up on this, the project(s) of REing DDR are not dead."

While we're here, has anyone tried to reverse engineer how the lifebar works in various DDR versions? I fiddled around with 3rdMIX (PS1) for a bit but it seems to be more complex than I expected (and non-linear?).

There's videos about it in YouTube but basically it's tied to your max combo and time in song. To the point where in some situations you can end up gaining life on a good or even a boo in some games. The lower your max combo is the more lenient the lifebar is, it's genuinely really strange but some of the console mission modes actively make you use this to clear some stages
