All right, all right... I'll try to stop talking in leetspeak, it's just that I'm used to writing and typing it everywhere else. It's gotten kind of hard to type in English without going into leet... For me anyway. Anywho, what's the HDL? I forget... Can someone refresh me?

Okay, I got a few questions.

I keep hearing different things about this.
Some people say the timing window in the imports is the same as the arcade and some say not.

Then I hear the marvelous timing window in the home versions (regardless of region) equals the timing window for perfect in the arcade.

What's the deal, whatâs true?

Arcade timing in Max and newer machines is tighter than in 5th Mix and prior. This statement *might* include 5th Mix, but I'm not sure. I definitely know the window is wider on 4th Plus and earlier.

Console timing has always been wider in general (UM1 might be an exception to this, as it has the strictest timing of any home version).

No, I very seriously doubt that the home Marvelous window is = the arcade Perfect window. It *may* be wider than the arcade Marv. window (I'm not sure that it is, I kinda doubt it), but it's definitely not *that* big.

Ok, I have a question...

Here's the scenario, I have all the PS2 home US mix's, and I'm looking to import at least one JP mix. I don't wanna get something that has a few new songs on it, but the rest are ones that have showed up on US mix's (ala Festival, It has some new ones, but most are repeats).

If you were in my situation, and you could only import 2 mix's, which ones would you choose, and why?

How do you select song modifiers in DDRMAX2? I tried holding down O, X, and Start but the menu doesn't open up

You're supposed to hold down circle. That's been the way it's been since MAX.

If you're doing it with a pad, try again with a controller just to rule out that you're not leaving your weight on it.

Where can I get 5th Mix? It's out of stock or not there at all on those links, nothing on ebay. Cept the $80 prowned at toysnjoys. No.

Why didn't they do a greatest hits or something? Surely it sold well enough? Also, wish they did IIDX greatest hits.
