Welcome to maimai!

ALL.net function
Update
While the Japanese and Export versions can update songs though ALL.net download and DVD for program update, the Chinese version only uses DVD to update songs.
Although the ALL.net download feature are exists in the Chinese version,it never used.
The Chinese version gets ver1.01 program since it released. However,it never gets program and UI update. In final update(Update 2 on May 2014),it still uses Ver.1.01 program,but Ver1.20 songs without Senbon Zakura.
Login
While the Japanese and Export versions use AIME cards to save progress, the Chinese release uses "GamePass"; when you register, the game will give you a code, which is required to log in.
Movie Upload and maimai.NET
The Japanese and Export versions have the ability to upload a recorded video of your gameplay to Niconico. The Chinese version lacked this ability, instead having the ability to playback your gameplay locally, and the feature was never implemented before the Chinese servers were shut down on November 1st, 2014, following the closure of Sega Jinwin, the joint-venture that handled Sega's arcade operations in the region.
maimai.NET feature are also never implemented in China, which means that some functions like player name change, query game record, friends, video link(for movie upload) are all not available in Chinese version. But ranking is available,which looks completely different with maimai.NET.
Exclusive Songs
The Chinese version has five exclusive songs, which are not available in any other versions of maimai.
However, Ver1.01 have sound file, text data and chart data of these songs, which deleted in Ver1.30.
