~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hiya, all. This is my first FAQ (that I've ever bothered completing and
sending in, anyway), and I'm actually kinda happy how it's turning out.
Obviously, there's a lot more I can add , and I will add at a later date.
I'd just like to say three things- One, I know a lot of you have been playing
IIDX longer than I have. So, if I get things wrong, or you have information I
don't know that you want me to add, PLEASE tell me. No mistake is too small,
nor is any bit of information. Two, send me feedback, damn you. Since this is
my first FAQ, I'm not sure what people want, and what they don't. I need to
know, to make this FAQ better. Three, send in questions so I can add a FAQ
part to this FAQ. Even if you know the answer, or don't really care; send
stuff that would be of interest to other people. Thanks to everyone who helps!
Also, please note that this FAQ is for Beatmania IIDX 5th Style New Songs
Collection. In other words, the home version. Please don't tell me "You're
missing a bunch of songs!" or "That song's not there!", because you'd probably
be talking about the arcade version, which this FAQ does not cover (as I don't
have a 5th Style arcade machine :P).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. Modes and Stuff
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4a. Arcade Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you enter Arcade Mode, you have 4 choices- Expert, Light 7, 7 Key, or
5 Key (or, if you have Double enabled, Light 14, 14 Key, and 10 Key).
Light 7/14- Basically, an easier version of 7/14 Key. Less notes to deal with.
5/10 Key- The 2 keys to the far right are taken over by the computer. Other
than that, the notes are the same as their 7/14 Key counterparts. This makes
it harder than Light 7/14 (usually), because there's not "Light 5/10" mode.
Expert- See "Expert Courses" section.
Just play Arcade Mode until you've played all the songs at least once. Then
you can play uninterrupted in Free Mode.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4b. Beginner Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A new addition to IIDX with 5th Style, all the songs are toned down to be in
the 1-3 Star difficulty range. It's much more fun than playing a small
selection of songs while getting adjusted to IIDX.
The difficulty levels for songs on Beginner Mode are also listed under the
"Song list and info" section. You can not play Beginner Mode on Doubles, and
none of the unlockable songs (Theme of Denjin J, Prat Fall, etc.) are playable
in Beginner Mode.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4c. Free Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Play as long as you want, without any end-game interruptions.
There's only one catch- to play songs in Free Mode, you must have played them
in Arcade Mode (it doesn't matter if you've passed them, or what difficulty
you play them on). Except for 5.1.1., that is; it's avaliable from the get-go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4d. Drill Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Drill Mode has 3 sections- (from left to right)
Basics (kihonhen)
Application (ouyouhen)
Special (tokubetsuhen)
Thanks to BradTheInsomniac for translations.
Naturally, Basics is the easiest drill, and Special is the hardest.
Most drills in Basic and Application are segments of songs, usually 20 or so
seconds long (I'm just guessing, I've never actually timed ^^;). You can't
add any modifiers (High Speed, Random, etc.), so you'll usually be on Normal
speed (which makes the mode even harder if you're used to using High Speed).
However, later on the game starts forcing HS1 on you. The last Drills are the
full song. Each Drill has 3 sections- The easiest is the RIGHT-MOST one, and
the hardest is the LEFT-MOST one. Also, each section of the drill has a
"target score"- a score you try to beat.
Also, by each drill, there are 3 boxes (representing the 3 sections of the
drill). At first, these boxes are blank, but after you play each section, the
empty box will be replaced with an X (failed the section), a Red Circle
(pass/Full Combo), a Yellow Circle (Perfect Combo; only Greats and Just
Greats), or an Orange Circle (beat the "target score").
In Special, the game gives you insane challenges- pass 1989 Low Speed, for
example. Ugh, this mode is freaking insane... I don't know how you get a
Yellow or Orange circle in this mode- I Perfect Comboed the Radical Faith
drill (arguably the easiest one), and the circle is still red.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4e. Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set the game difficulty, screen type (arcade or original; arcade will be
really squished if you don't have a widescreen TV), movie, brightness, etc.
This doesn't really need any explaining. It's all in English.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4f. HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The HDD does 2 things:
1) Lowers load times. Considering 5th Style's load time isn't bad AT ALL, this
reall isn't that great.
2) It unlocks Endless mode. For those of you who didn't think Survival was
long and boring enough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4g. Modifiers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the Main Menu, press the Select button to access the modifier menu. There,
you can set these modifiers:
High/Low Speed- High speed makes songs easier to read, because it spreads
the notes out, but if you turn it up TOO high on a fast song, you might
not be able to read the notes. Low Speed... I don't know why they have it.
All it does is make things HARDER to read.
Random- Mixes the notes up. Makes some songs easier (songs with scaling,
for example), some songs harder (V, for example, is widely considered to
be almost always harder with Ranomd on), or it could go either way, depending
on what note arrangement you get.
Double- Lets you play 14 Key, Light 14, etc. You need 2 controllers to play
this mode (well, you can play one side and watch the other side kill you, but
that's no fun).
Autoscratch- Cheater. :P This modifier has the game take over the turntable
for you, which lets you concentrate all your efforts on the keys. Using it's
a waste of time; it doesn't help you build any skills, and you can't set
records while using Autoscratch.
Battle Mode- If you need a demo of what Battle Mode does, let the game sit on
the title screen for a while. It basically splits the notes up between the 1
player and 2 player sides.
Mirror- Just like it sounds, it reverses the notes. If a note was on the far
left key, it would be on the far right key when Mirror is activated.
Hidden- Notes dissapear halfway down. Can be combined with Sudden for a new
effect.
Sudden- Notes appear halfway down. Can be combined with Hidden for a new
effect.
Hidden/Sudden- Notes appear for a very short amount of time right in the
middle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4h. Survival Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Survival Mode, you play all the songs in the game back to back, on a
difficulty of your choice. You must survive all 64 songs, played back to back
with small intermissions between every 5 songs.
You can choose to play all the songs in Light 7 mode, 7 Key mode, or Another+7
mode (if the song has no Another, it'll use the 7 Key notes). Of course, if
you are playing Double, it'll be Light 14, 14 Key, and Another + 14 (if the
song has no Another, it'll go to the 14 Key notes).
You can arrange the songs in 4 ways (from top to bottom)-
Difficulty Order (nan'ido jun)- On 7 Key, it starts with the 1 stars and goes
up to the 7 stars. The songs are played in alphabetical order in their
ranking- IE, when the 1 Star songs are playing, 5.1.1. would be played first,
then Be In My Paradise, and so on.
Reverse Difficulty Order (gyaku nan'ido jun)- On 7 Key, it starts with the 7+
stars and goes down to the 1 stars. 250 BPM would be the first song played,
since it's at the top of the alphabetical order in the 7 stars.
Random (randomu)- Songs played in random order. No high scores are kept;
because unless you pass them all, your score would depend on the order of
the songs.
Alphabetical Order (arufabetto jun)- Goes in the order that the game lists
the songs in Free Mode- IE, the order that my songlist is in.
Once again, thanks to BradTheInsomniac for his translations of the menu.
One more thing- this mode must be unlocked. Check the Unlocking section to
find out how.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4i. Original Course Setting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This mode lets you make your own Expert Courses. You can edit up to 5- if
you don't edit them, they'll be 5 stages of 5.1.1. 7 Key in a row. Ick.
You can't set records on these things, unfortunately. The only real use for
this mode is if you want to make a "Favorite" course with all your
favorite songs.
One more thing- this mode must be unlocked. To the Unlocking section!

5. Song List and Info
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Song Name / Artist / Genre
Beginner: Difficulty
Light 7: Difficulty 7 Key: Difficulty Another (7): Yes/No
Light 14: Difficulty 14 Key: Difficulty Another (14): Yes/No
(Number of notes listed in the parenthesis)
AS: Arcade versions the song has appeared in
CS: Console versions the song has appeared in
Notes: If there's anything special to say about this song (Example: It sounds
different when played on Another mode), then it goes here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 Key takes the 7 key notes, and takes over the far right white key and far
right black key. It also uses the same difficulty rating, and every song is
playable on 5 Key, so I didn't bother adding to the song info.
Special thanks to DarkTetsuya for letting me use his Beatmania FAQ for my
"Artist" and "First appeared in" sections; it cut down on my work A LOT. Thank
you SO MUCH. The link to his FAQ is at the bottom of my FAQ. Go there. Now.

some of the more popular songs from IIDX, as well as some special versions of

Antonio Vivaldi. He was an Italian music composer who loved from 1678 to
1741, a period of art commonly knokwn as the Baroque era.

the escape journey in the inside of cold wind blowing violently from
Austria to Switzerland of the time of WW2."

6. Expert Courses
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Expert Courses could be compared to DDR Max2's Oni Courses- but they're not
quite as hard. You start out with your Groove Gauge at 100%, and when it drops,
it takes MUCH longer for it to rise again. I'm not exactly sure how many notes
it takes for it to rise... if you know, tell me, please.
Expert Courses also score differently than normal stages; the point value for
each note is much lower.
Just Great (the flashy ones): 2 points
Great: 1 point
Good, Bad, Poor: 0 points
So, the highest you can get on a song is no longer 200,000 (which would be all
Just Greats on a normal stage); it's twice the number of notes in the song. So,
if the song has 99 notes, the max score would be 198. Got it? Good.
There are 8 Expert Courses available from the get go. There are also 10 more
courses to unlock, and you can create 6 of your own (this feature is also
unlockable). The courses that are always available have Star ratings; but the
others don't. I'll include the Star total for each of the songs next to the
given Star rating, so you have some idea of how difficult the unlockables are.
Also, all the songs are on Expert difficulty level (7 Key) unless specified
otherwise.

7. Unlocking
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of course, you all know that you can unlock EVERYTHING by getting a 634 combo.
But the problem is, not everyone can get a combo that high... so, some of you
need to have other methods of doing it all... and here they are! Also, please
note that you CAN NOT use an Expert Course to unlock everything with the 634
combo method. Survival works, though.
Unlocking Songs- For each time you play through Arcade Mode, you'll unlock one
song.
Unlocking Expert Courses- All the unlockable Expert Courses, except for Bonus
and L.E.D. are unlocked by playing each Expert Course up to at least the
3rd Stage.
To unlock the L.E.D. course, unlock all the others Expert Courses first (not
including the Bonus Course).
To unlock the Bonus Course, get to the 3rd Stage in the L.E.D. course.
Unlocking Original Course Setting- Play all songs at least once. You don't
have to pass them.
Unlocking Survival- Full Combo a Custom Expert Course. 5.1.1. Light 7 over
and over should make this easy enough.
Unlocking Special Drill section- NO IDEA. Help, if you can!
Thanks to Farren, Kaleigh, and Blizzard185 for the info here. :D

8. FAQ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: What does IIDX stand for?
A: Two deluxe.
Q: What do AS/CS stand for?
A: AS and CS are ways of saying Arcade and Consumer Software.
Q: Where can I get a IIDX simulator?
A: There are a few good ones. Here's a few:
BemaniaDX:
http://bemaniadx.s3.xrea.com/
Rhythm-It:
http://nvyu.net/rdm/jp/
MacBeat:
http://macbeat.at.infoseek.co.jp/Info.html (for Macs)
Q: Where can I get skins for my simulator?
A:
http://dokilove.hp.infoseek.co.jp/skin/skin.html
Q: So, I've got a sim and it looks cool... where can I get simfiles?
A:
http://www.geocities.com/_2220/bms/ has simfiles for every song, and some
original simfiles, as well. However, they don't come with MP3s, so you'll have
to find your own.
www.bemanistyle.com has some keysounded files from IIDX 9th Style.
http://www.m-g-z.com/showdown_tp.asp?sm=s&tp=32&bt=Bemania(bms) has simfiles
from most Styles, and some originals, too.
Q: Where can I get IIDX MIDIs?
A: BBQ Tool has a site with a few MIDIs, most of them from IIDX. It's the only
place I've found with MIDIs from IIDX so far. There's probably tons more; I'll
keep looking.

-Special Thanks-
God-
He's God.
DarkTetsuya-
For letting me use his FAQ to find what songs where in what Style first, and
for letting me use his FAQ for artist names. I was too lazy to write them
down. :P Check out his FAQ, it's the best Beatmania FAQ I've seen.
Also, I originally typed up the Star ratings for all the songs for him. To be
honest, I'd never have even considered making this FAQ if I wasn't already
ahead by that much; so this whole thing pretty much exists thanks to him.
Thankee again, DT.
CJayC-
For posting my FAQ. If he doesn't post it, I'm taking him out of the Special
Thanks section. :D
My parents-
They let me spend over $400 to get IIDX. I didn't really expect them to let
me. ^^; But they did, and I'm very very glad. :D
[Some of the following people may have changed their names at some point.
I hate DDRFreak for letting people do that, even though I do it myself.
They're all people who have contributed info, translations, or corrections
to the FAQ.]

Tons of other people from the DDRFreak and Bemanistyle boards. I've learned
bits and peices of knowlege from many of them, and I can't remember all their
names to give them credit. :(
-Plans for the future-
-BPMs. I've got most of them, now I just need to figure out where to put them.
-More in depth Drill Mode section or FAQ. I've considered giving Drill Mode as
separate in-depth FAQ, but I'm still undecided.
-Other games songs are on. Once again, I know a good amount of this, I just
need to figure out where to put it, then write it down. Not nessisarily in
that order. But then again, maybe.
-Changes from 5th Style Arcade to 5th Style Home. Mainly songlist changes.
-More random info. More random fluff- er, info is always good, right?
