GuitarFreaks 6thMIX & drummania 5thMIX |
---|
Also known as: PercussionFreaks 5thMIX (drummania, AS/KR) This game has unused code. |
GuitarFreaks 6thMIX & drummania 5thMIX were the first games in their respective series with the Nonstop mode, where the player can play courses of four songs each, predetermined or not. It was also the last game to feature the Multisession GDK system, introduced one release prior.
Unused Graphics
Old "Caution" Screen
The graphics for the "Caution" screen seen in GuitarFreaks 4thMIX & drummania 3rdMIX and GuitarFreaks 5thMIX & drummania 4thMIX can be found amidst GAME.DAT (GF)/MHCFVKHY.DAT (dm).
Songlist Slots
On GAME.DAT in the GuitarFreaks data, the game's main resource repository, a songlist icon for the song MOVE OVER can be found, although the song itself is not present.
Unused Background Animation Sprites
New Songs
MIDNIGHT SUN - LHPMFBJK.DAT
Interestingly, the artwork with the swordsman was repurposed in the background animations of BURN, a song in GuitarFreaks 7thMIX & drummania 6thMIX.
Natsuiro - KQMFLXUT.DAT
Seiron - MBFRQXMZ.DAT
This set of sprites that feature a grid along with a rotating cube was first found here. These would later be used as placeholders in GuitarFreaks 7thMIX & drummania 6thMIX and GuitarFreaks 8thMIX & drummania 7thMIX.
THE POWER OF LOVE - QXMJFSFY.DAT
Many unused sprites in this sheet, which include buildings and a horse, hint that the background animations for this song were originally going to be much more diverse. The palette data is guessed.
Old Songs
COSMIC COWGIRL - HTMRTFFY.DAT, MXFODIVT.DAT
Cutie pie - FUFNDMLE.DAT
The "HAPPY MAN" graphic is completely unused.
FIRE - FIMLSJSE.DAT, FMONIVGQ.DAT
The lightning sprites don't seem to be used in the short version. It is currently not possible to determine which file is for which version of the song, as they are identical.
Heaven is a '57 metallic gray - EABMFODK.DAT
HELPLESS - FMKUKMVO.DAT
While the graphics of the blue/white/gold tilting stars are unused in this sheet, they are used in the long version of HELPLESS (sheet: IFOJIMGK.DAT). The graphics of the green/red tilting stars are completely unused.
I think about you - MEFLUIHM.DAT
JET WORLD - FOLMIJKS.dat, MIFMUONB.dat
JOHNNY B. GOODE - MIMSFMPY.dat
Among the song's graphics, the lyrics, only displayed in GuitarFreaks 3rdMix, among with a few other unused sprites, are still intact.
LUCKY? STAFF - FOMELPDX.DAT
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.
ON OUR WAY - RFMXNPZQ.DAT
P.P.R. - FLMOIQQU.dat, ISLMQDFQ.dat
The lyrics for the song, only displayed in GuitarFreaks 3rdMix, are still intact in the game's files.
SAY WHAT YOU MEAN - ZMVFRKBG.DAT
GuitarFreaks 3rdMix's credits still exist within the song's background animation files.
SUNNY DAY SUNDAY - FLMVEOXS.dat
USED CARS - FIFMRCBX.DAT
WANNA BE YOUR BOY - SSOMFKZZ.DAT
YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE - EMBHVFYZ.dat
The lyrics for the song, only displayed in GuitarFreaks 3rdMix, are still intact in the game's files.
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.
In the drummania data, there is also an empty slot among the icons used for the difficulties.
Session Play Total Results
Early, seemingly placeholder graphics for the Session Play Total Results screen can be found in GAME.DAT.
Dummy
An ordinary dummy graphic, found near the Stage Cleared/Failed graphics 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.
