Also known as: Wǔ Méng (CN) Developer: Sega AM1 Publisher: Sega Platform: Arcade (Sega RingEdge 2) Released in JP: July 11, 2012 Released in CN: September 2012 Released in AS: 2012 This game has unused areas. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused music. This game has debugging material. This game has regional differences. This game has a prerelease article

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

This game/console's online features are no longer supported. While this game/console's online features were once accessible, they are (as of September 3, 2019 (Japan)/February 28, 2020 (Asia)/November 1, 2014 (China)) no longer officially supported and online-exclusive features may be documented as now-unseen content.

Welcome to maimai, the first of Sega's series of washing machine-shaped rhythm games. Unlike most of Sega's previous affairs in the genre, it was a huge success, with new releases and updates all the way until the release of maimai DX on July 11, 2019, after which Sega ended the online services of the pre-DX cabinets.

Unused Voice

The Chinese version didn't use Aime card logins or Niconico video uploads, but it still includes voiceover clips for these features.

These clips are also included in the Japan and Export versions.

Most of these voice seem to be intended for using online features, but there doesn't seem to be any record of anyone hearing them on a real cabinet.

Unused Graphics

Tentative logo

A tentative version of the logo, ultimately never used in any region.

Dummy Image and Background Animation

Dummy background sprite with maimai GreeN UI art style. Never used in any songs.

The song amanojaku (天ノ弱) has music and chart files in Ver1.20, but the sprite and BGA are dummy placeholders. It was properly released in Ver1.21, with the correct coverart and MV.

Unused Chinese buttons

In the Japanese/EXPORT version of the game, the game allows you to query the Access Code on the title screen. Since the Chinese version does not use Aime, this function has been deleted, but by replacing the Chinese version of the interface file with the Japanese version, you can find that the Access Code button has been replaced with the "Login" button, which has never been used.

Japan/Export(Ver1.00,Online)	Replace to the China version interface

Tool Leftover

There are some tool icons remaining from versions prior to MURASAKi. These are in dds format, do not appear in the game, and their purpose is unknown.

Some of the songs list from the prerelease version are left over in the early version of the game,and BGSelector had some songs that only their name left.

Unused Genre

There are some genre found completely unused in the Ver1.00 game code, in-game sprite and leftover test ver's songs list.

Until end-of-life, some of them completely unused and hidden behind the game.

Genre	code	sprite	list
RECOMMAND	Yes	No	No
NEW RELEASE	Yes	No	No
K-POP	Yes	Yes	Yes
EURO BEAT	Yes	No	No
CLASSIC	Yes	Yes	Yes
WORLD	No	No	Yes

Defunct Chinese material

Ver1.30 (2014/02/26) has an unused Chinese font, which is smaller then the font used in that version of the game.

This version also has an unreleased trophy for the China version.

All of these Chinese materials were ultimately deleted in Ver1.40 (2014/09/28), internal timestamp is 2014/07/29, even though the Chinese server was still active. This might point to the exact point in time when Sega gave up on the Chinese version...

BPM Test Song

There is a BPM Test Song thats left in /data/sound/BPMTest.xwb which of course...Tests the BPM

It has existed in the game since the first version, and each version exists, internally named BPM test.

In 1.00.04, if you force all songs to be enabled through debugging code, the BPM test will be displayed in the track list, sharing the same cover and BGA as the song Love Circulation.

As part of the April Fools events of 2015, BPM test renamed as 全世界共通リズム感テスト was playable from April 1st to April 7th in maimai ORANGE PLUS.

As part of the April Fools events of 2019, since April 1st, in maimai FiNALE, 全世界共通リズム感テスト was revived as an UTAGE-only song, with the EXPERT and MASTER charts both as 宴-attribute charts.

Test Song

Called LR_Test in the game files, It was most likely added to test the speakers of the cabinet.

Title Screen

Roughly two months after its original Japanese release, maimai was released in China, under the name of 舞萌 (Wǔ Méng).

Japan/Export(Ver1.00,Offline)	China(never changed)

ALL.net function

Offline mode

If the China version cabinet was updated with the final "Update 2" DVD, it can automatically switch to Offline Mode after 2014/11/01 (the date of the Chinese server shutdown).

In addition, both the China and Export versions can access Offline mode in the test menu.

When in Offline Mode, the game will skip ALL.Net checks, and forces you to use Guest Mode. All songs will unlock with all difficulty levels, and background animations will display normally.

Curiously, this official Offline Mode was never added to the Japan version when the ALL.Net service ended - playing this version will give you server connection errors, most of the songs being locked, and no background animations.

Network indicator

Due to strict regulations in China, all net-based games legally released in China must connect to server that placed in China,this certainly apply to arcade games.

Unlike the Japan and Export version use an Earth icon to indicate the network, China version uses a 3-block signal bar to indicates the latency (implying extremely bad network environment in China).

Update

While the Japan and Export versions can update songs though ALL.net download and DVDs for updates, the China version only allows you to update from DVD. The ALL.net download feature exists, it was just never used.

Login

While the Japan and Export versions use Aime cards to save progress, the China release uses "PassCode"; when you register, the game will give you a code, which is required to login. All the hardware is there to connect an Aime reader to the Chinese version's cabinet, but it was never used.

The Export version in some countries didn't have Aime reader before Ver1.40. Instead, the Aime reader replaced by a panel, which looks similar to the Chinese version's solution but with English text.Also,there is a nine-square grid on the top of the panel,in Export and early China cabinet ,the grid filled with"Coming soon",but in China cabinet produced after June,2013 ,5 blocks filled with 5 Chinese songs' cover,and 4 blocks are "Coming soon".

This video shows Ver1.20 in a South Korean arcade, running in Offline mode without an Aime reader.

Movie Upload and maimai.NET

The Japanese and Export versions have the ability to upload a recorded video of your gameplay to Niconico. The China version lacked this ability, instead having the ability to playback your gameplay locally, and the feature was never implemented before the China servers were shut down on 2014/11/01, following the closure of Sega Jinwin, the joint-venture that handled Sega's arcade operations in the region.

maimai.NET features were also never implemented in China, meaning that some functions like player name changes, query game record, friends, video link for movie upload, etc. are all unavailable in the China version. Online rankings are available, but they look completely different from maimai.NET .

Access Code

You can use an "Osaifu-Keitai" enabled phone with the card reader to get Access Code in Ver1.00.

This appears to have been a form of Aime card integration with smartphones, which was never made available outside of Japan, or in non-Japanese versions of the game.

Exclusive Songs

The Chinese version has five exclusive songs, which are not available in any other versions of maimai.

These songs classified as "中国流行乐"(Chinese pop music) category,But most are sung by Taiwanese singers.

In game file,"中国流行乐" category has it's translation as "C-POP" for Japan and Export version,but never used.

However, Ver1.01 does have the sound files, text data and chart data for these songs. This must have been an oversight, as they were deleted in Ver1.30.
