no, no one wants to give better directions. Get your computer-whiz mind in gear and figure it out yourself.

Well, I dare say that's uncalled for.

that's not an insult. I'm simply saying that no one is going to give you better directions. Tough.

And I was not implying that that was an insult. Simply stating that it is rude in itself that you apparently know how to do it but purposely witheld the informaion, and the other part about what you said, the computer-whiz remark, was insulting, if only mildly so.

Anywhore, we have both tried our best to find some way of doing it, but came up emptyhanded. We therefore have come to this board looking for help, which as I recall, is the point of a forum.

Ya know, that megagames method does work. I don't know why that isn't enough for you. I went through the process of patching my 5th mix, I never could get it to work (in the only working copy I made, none of the other menu options would work right. In hindsight, I don't think anyone's been able to make the other options work. I don't really know why.) While I was wasting CD-R's trying different methods, my PS2 stopped reading CD-R's normally. Only when I adjusted the white cog inside would it read CD-R's, and in that position it wouldn't read DVD's, so I gave up and bought a modded PS1.

If you think I'm withholding information, you are
1. wrong: the best method I figured out still didn't work
2. not trying hard enough. There are tons of programs for ripping and burning .iso's, .bin's, etc. I believe the patching program I used was on that megagames site, and maybe there was another one I downloaded elsewhere.

It did take me a while to figure out how to patch, but I'm not going to take the time to dig out all those programs and help you. Sorry. Call that 'withholding information', but I'm still not.

OK, I've been reading the forums for advice, and I've posted in the Console threads, too.

However, this is a question for the importers:

I have Party Collection, 6th, 7th and Extreme (all burned) and I use Swap Magics 3.0, which have worked perfectly. The question is about Party Collection: Is it because I'm importing or does the training mode freeze up every time otherwise?

I've seen where some folks were saying in that thread that game does it on both burned and real copies using Swap Magics but I wanted to get an opinion from some other importers on what maybe the problem.

I'm about to get a used Playstation so I can play my copy of DDR 5th Mix. I was wondering if a gameshark will make the game work or do I need a so kind boot disk? If a gameshark does work do I need anti-mod codes?

Thanks

Hey there! I'm going to get the Game Enhancer so that I can use JP DDR mixes for the Playstation. But I'm curious where I can legally get them. I've seen, for instance, 5th Mix on ebay going for upwards of $60! There has to be some place with a better price! Any help appreciated...

'fraid not - That's common pricing. They're harder to find since they're out of print.

Best place to find it is to watch Marketplace both here and at Bemanistyle, and jump on someone's "Getting rid of my Bemani" sale.

is the judge difficulty extreme jp for ps2 just as strict as the one in the arcade? if not, is there a way to increase the judge difficulty?

Added new antimod codes to 4th and 5th Mix. Thanks to Methodious for correcting my mistake.

I'm having trouble with my Game Hunter. I can't get my DDR 5th Mix to work. Do I put the anti-mod codes on the master code part or on new code?

Thanks

I haven't read the entire thread, but could we conceivably get reviews of DDRMAX and DDRMAX2 in the same format as the OP? Also maybe of DDR Ultramix...
