Prototype Info

Unused Skins Eight unused (kinda) functional skins!

Unused Banners

The skins Light Ray, DICE, The Afroman in Friday's Cafe, and 9Lazy-Kangaroo have banners, also found in CDIMAGE\IMAGE\RESULT.tpk. Considering that these four skins are available by default, and that banners are only displayed when a skin is unlocked, these go unused. Note that the files don't actually have proper names - they are taken from the name of the .tm2 file converted to create the .gim, present at the end of the filedata.

Unused UI

While the numbers and the colon are used to keep track of the various values (such as Time and Score), the letters aren't.

Unseen details

The skin 9LazyKangaroo features a DJ console. The buttons of it are never shown ingame since they are covered by the Kangaroo who's using it

Unused Sounds

Menu

The file CDIMAGE/SOUND/WAVE/SE_MENU.TPK contains the sound effects normally heard in the game's main menu. Within them is cursor_dush.wav, which, given the name, would likely be heard while holding the left or right keys, though the game just keeps repeating cursor.wav instead.

Unused Sound Pack

A sound effect pack which doesn't seem to be assigned to any skin is present at CDIMAGE\SOUND\WAVE\SE_STR.tpk. Although it has music files, present at CDIMAGE\SOUND\STR, they are duplicates of the ones from the skin Sphere of control, whose ID is SOL.

File	Audio	Notes
alarm1.vag		Sounds that would be played when a piece is near the top. Etequalizer is the only skin that uses the two sounds
alarm2.vag
dush_L.vag		Sounds that would be played when the cursor is moved left or right at a fast speed which are essentialy the same. Sphere of control uses one of them for dush_R
dush_R.vag
dush_U.vag		Sounds that would be played when the cursor is moved up or down at a fast speed. Sphere of control uses this sound
kaeshi01.vag		Sounds that would be played when pieces are swapped.

Unused Music and segments

Free Style

Free Style from the skin ClockWork features an out-of-place segment which seems to be an unique piece of track which doesn't fit anywhere in the game. This segment corresponds to the .TPK files found in the TRK15 folder from BA01_14 to BA01_20.

Ukiyoe

Ukiyoe from the skin This Life. uses only the segments from BA01_01 to BA01_14 leaving these last two unused. They've been probably cutted from the song for making it loop properly.

Regional Differences
