NEWSPAPER (Vocal ver.) - FQRMOXXO.dat, UFMXOQXF.dat
In GuitarFreaks 4thMIX & drummania 3rdMIX, there were several lines of text in the top of the animation screen that would advertise a contest to find a vocalist for the song. With a vocalist being found, these lines of text served no use.

Placeholders

Song Selection Screen

A title graphic for a song with ID 511 can be found in GAME.DAT in the GuitarFreaks data. As there's no text/data match to this ID in the game, it is unknown what this song could have been.
GF6DM5-511.png

In the drummania data, there is also an empty slot among the icons used for the difficulties.

Early, seemingly placeholder graphics for the Session Play Total Results screen can be found in GAME.DAT.

Unused Music

Folder DATA0/STATIC contains the game's system BGM. However, two tunes are not heard:

GF5dm4 Opening

File OPENING.DAT is the opening theme for GuitarFreaks 5thMIX & drummania 4thMIX, a leftover from that game.

Game Over

File OVER.DAT is a short tune that is not heard in-game. It is also a leftover from GuitarFreaks 5thMIX & drummania 4thMIX, and judging by its name, it was likely meant to be used in the Game Over screen, despite that, in both games, only the announcer can be heard.

Unused Text/Code

Starting from offset 0x1AFB5C (GF)/0x1AD128 (dm) in GAME.DAT is a song text masterlist of some sorts (this masterlist is shared with both GuitarFreaks and drummania games.), whose text is displayed in the splash screen before the gameplay. In this masterlist, are listed several songs absent from this game. The songlist's code, whichs starts at 0x1ACAE4 (GF)/0x1AA0B0 (dm), references these same songs.

Regional Differences

GF6DM5-DM5title.png

drummania 5thMIX was released in Asia under the name of PercussionFreaks 5thMIX. This version translated the game's UI, along with several song titles, into English. A Korean version, which was based on the Asia version, was also released, in which there are several more differences when compared to the original Japanese release. Regarding the game's songlist, only new differences will be entered in this section.

Songlist

  • The song NEWSPAPER (Vocal ver.) is absent.
  • The licensed songs Boyfriend, Ginga tetsudou 999, mottö, Natsuiro, Tentaikansoku and TRAIN-TRAIN, along with the original songs Kimi no tonari ni..., MISS YOU and Seiron, were changed to instrumental versions.
