Yup,

You go: Options>Display settings>Gauge type>Separate type I love playing 6th mix + Core rmx IIDX style

Oh yeah, Does anyone know why my 6th mix + Core rmx main menu has gone blue? It used to be red and silent, but now it's all blue with music playing. I can't seem to get it red again. :s

6th mix + Core Remix and Club mix command higher prices as they are significantly rarer - I paid about 40 for 6th, and 45 for club. The other mixes can be had for less. The only game I do not have (and are looking for is beatmania best hits).

BTW I am working on building an 5 key ASC - I just need to get the turntable figured out!

Yeah I paid around $40 for 6th, but I got Dreams Come True for $10

Making a Turntable circuit is quite complicated you know. It would be better to sacrifice a DJ Station Pro.

Once you play every song in the game, the menu changes to the Blue version and the menu theme changes to the Core Remix title theme instead of the 6th Mix theme. As far as I know, there's no way to revert it to the original 6th Mix title.

Get Gotta Mix: going global . Good music, not much diffulicuty. Do not play 6th mix, it strays from the others and the songs feel incomplete(IMHO). Best Hits and 5th are good. Club mix is also a good choice.

Eventualy, get them all. I loved 5key but i never play it anymore. I played it with my ASCII.

If you have a quick computer, MAME and CM2 is also quite fun.

just to let people know: if you plan on getting any of the old 5 key beatmania games, breaker pro CANNOT boot them at all. not real ones, not burned ones, and it cant do it on any ps2 or ps1. BELIEVE ME, i tried ALOT. what a waste of 75 dollars. (for 4 beatmania games and breaker pro)

Someone is calling me impatient - at that time I had been waiting almost 3 months for the game - BTW 6th mix + core remix goes for over 40 normally, and club mix 35 - 40 min

When you say boot, do you mean the game never even starts? Because if you're getting a screen with two CD's and something that says APPEND and ARCADE DISC 1, you're trying to boot an append disc and unfortunately because of the way breaker pro works, you can't play an Append disc (because it wants to reboot the game after the swap from a key disc) You can however play a key disc (Beatmania 2nd Mix, 6th + Core, Best Hits, Dreams Come true, or Sounds of Tokyo.) I've done this with a PSX-change2 disc on a PS1 so I know that should work fine.

I'm going to assume you have a key disc

Here's what you do. Download the ePSXe emulator. Then just boot from your key disc, swap to your append disc. That should let you at least play the games you bought.

(EDIT - Whoops, saw your other thread. Yeah, a Stealth Modded PS1 should fix your problem up easy.)
