First off - Ultramix has a different spelling of Sana Molette Ne Ente in it's title listing.

Second, it might be useful to have the BPM listing in the songlists. Currently, if you want to know how fast a song is, you have to use the songlist, and load up a chart to see the BPM. It'd be a lot easier (and less resource-intensive) if the tables showed the BPM. If it's a non-static BPM, then just put the starting BPM and an asterisk or boldface it or something.

Konami seems to be indecisive about the romanization of Sana. However, I don't think it warrants two database entries. It used to be L on the site, but then some other home version had it as R, so I changed it. I dunno. It doesn't make too much of a difference, does it?

As for the BPM thing, it's a valid idea, but I'm not really sure how thorough we are with filling in the BPMs in our database. I'll check that out and see if I think it's worth it (or one of the other DB people can).

True...I had thought about the whole DB thing, and figured that it wasn't a big deal, since you'd need different DB entries for the same song if the difficulties changed between mixes, right?

Anyhow, good point.

My not-so-random sampling (about 40 spot-checks) looks good so far. I remember it used to be a problem with the old songlist system, but with the overhauling from sherl0k's stepcharts, it looks like it was pretty thoroughly covered.

There was other stuff here, but it's more Step Charts stuff than anything, and I haven't really looked at that thread, so I'll peek in over there.

Nah, we actually don't do that. If they changed steps, we just put those as the Maniac2/Challenge steps. If the number changed...well, we haven't gone and changed them. Note how Burning the Floor is still a 7 in MAX2 and EOTC is still an 8 (isn't it a 9 in the new ones?)

Yeah, EOTC is a 9 on DDRMAX2 for PlayStation 2.

Honestly guys, whatever data is in the latest DWI is what goes in the database. i don't pay much attention to small details such as foot ratings... the people making the DWIs have that covered.

Well, we still have to put the foot ratings into our own database so they show up on the songlist pages. But yeah, we don't really go around verifying them or anything.
