Banner Variations?

They managed to leave the new English version out. It's the SN2 banner in there.

I think NADESHIKO should be called Blooming Flower and poririzimu renamed to Polyrhythm.

Personally, I find the romanization to be rather unwieldy and cumbersome for English readers; this clearly isn't KONAMI's concern though since they decided to fully romanize Konoko no nanatsu no oiwaini. Although honestly, I've always called Rin To Shite Saku Hana No Gotoku as Nadeshiko Rock, and probably always will, so at least it's in a form that makes sense when I refer to it as Nadeshiko Rock around others.

If it was up to me, I'd translate. When foreign artists launch English careers, they tend to translate, not romanize. It's more memorable and meaningful if you read a phrase and understand it. However, this screws up the alphabetic sorting.

Actually, my preference is no translation at all; it's how I keep StepMania, but this obviously isn't an option for KONAMI.

Wait wait wait... I never noticed this but.. does it actually say

JUPITER
:The Bringer of Jollity
On the songwheel with the colon misplaced?

Like so:



Remember from SuperNOVA onwards, they scraped the idea of subtitles.

Oh okay, and by the way, I know it was asked earlier but never answered, what was changed in X for the banners of "Me Against the Music" and "Faint"?

We had buggy rips of it before. As SN2 banner files from AC couldn't be decoded properly on the PC.

Does Fly Away -mix del matador- have a fixed banner in X? The old one says shawn the Horny Master, but the song card says Shawn the Horny Master.

It's still messed up

from "Dancemania" or DDR OST albums title formats
"MY FIRE [UKS Remix]" (1st)
"BOOM BOOM DOLLAR [Red Monster Mix]" (2nd)
"NINZABURO (FURUHATA'S THEME)" (4th)
"17SAI [Upper Version]" (5th)
"BE TOGETHER [Upper Version]" (5th)
"CAN'T STOP FALLIN' IN LOVE [VENTURA HYPER MIX]" (5th)
"ODORU PONPOKOLIN [Captains eurasia huper mix]" (5th)
"AFRONOVA [B4 ZA BEAT REMIX]" (7th)
"DROP OUT [K.O.G REMIX]" (7th)
"LITTLE BOY [BOY OH BOY MIX]" (7th)
"MATSURI JAPAN [K.O.G REMIX]" (7th)
"SEXY PLANET [MOMO REMIX]" (7th)
"SUPER STAR [DJ NAKAIDO & E. ISOMURA REMIX]" (7th)
"WILD RUSH [PCM REMIX]" (7th)


IF you notice those DISC IMAGES from DDR X (ARCADE/PS2) use the part of their BACKGROUND
i think use them as reference for CUSTOM BG creation for the songs like..
"Horatio"
"on the bounce"
"On The Break"
"Pluto"
"Pluto Relinquish"
"SABER WING"
"SABER WING [AKIRA ISHIHARA Headshot mix]"
"Trigger"
even "AFRONOVA (X-SPECIAL)"

lastly "al2k4"
can you also rip those official GENRE BANNERS? ty

The name change (FNSMM as subtitle) for these six songs were somewhat understandable due to the fact that these remixes originally appeared on the nonstop megamixes to the 3rdMIX (AFRONOVA), 5thMIX (MATSURI JAPAN), and SOLO soundtracks.

BTW, for the record, LITTLE BOY (BOY ON BOY MIX) appeared, with the miswritten subtitle, on the "Captain's Best" Dancemania album.

Great post!

Have You Never Been Mellow (1st Mix) is actually the "KCP Remix"
Uh La La La (DS1.5) is the "Almighty Definitive Radio Edit"

Um, shouldn't they have been RIPPED with all these too?

After going through the HDD data myself, those banners appear to be located somewhere else and not in the standard banner files that Al's tool could rip.

Well that sucks.

Ashura, if they could've been ripped that easily, it would've been done AGES ago.

They are probably stored in another file as another image format, which is not exactly easy to figure out as it seems like some custom graphic format.

Is there any alternate banner(s) for Gekkou Chou?

The only alternates are the english and Japanese version of the banner

There we go! I needed the english banner. Thank You!

Is there an english Hana Ranman (Flowers)?

No.
