Default unlocking cardinal gate

After looking through some threads, I'm assuming that to unlock the Cardinal Gates for Distorted, you need to A two songs in a row, then AA the last song, all in ascending difficulty? Is it possible to just access it through free mode?

I don't think so, because you get each of the four CG songs as an Extra Stage if I'm not mistaken.

Anyway, here's the blurb about unlocking them from Purotora, if you want to run it through a translator or if anybody here feels like taking the time to translate it:

Quote:
※四天王(隠しEXTRA)曲出現条件・大体の目安
 朱雀:新曲をいくつかをプレイ、NORMALだとNORMALのみ、HYPERだとHYPERのみ出 現
 白虎:1st~DDフォルダをひとつずつ埋める、NORMALだとNORMALのみ、HYPERだとHYPERの み出現
 玄武:パーフェクトボーナスまたはボーダーボーナス説、NORMALで達成したらNORMALのみ出現、HYPE Rで達成したらHYPERのみ出現
 青龍:EXPERTコースを2つクリア+段位認定初段以上、NORMALコースだとNORMAL、HYPERコー ス+七段以下はHYPER。(+八段だとANOTHER出現?)
 さらに、四天王曲をANOTHERでプレイするにはそれぞれANOTHER(青龍除く)で条件を満たさな ければならない
 また、四天王曲をプレイするには「カーディナルゲートフォルダ」を出さないとならない。出現条件は「3曲 の平均ランクAA」かつ「隠し曲クリア経験あり」。
 カーディナルゲートはそれまでにプレイした譜面に依存。3曲中1曲でもNORMALをプレイしてしまった ら四天王はNORMALまでしか出ない。HYPERで3曲プレイだとHYPERまで(N含む) 。

※「ONE MORE EXTRA」進出条件
 四天王曲のANOTHERを一通り全てランクAAを取る。一度進出した場合は2回目は再びANOTHER をAAランクで取り直さないとならない。
In a cursory glance (without taking the time to translate), it looks like to me:

Suzaku: play some new songs (DistorteD songs I imagine)
Byakko: play one song each from 1st~DistorteD folders (I don't know if this just means from three different styles, or from EVERY style over multiple games?)
Genbu: get a perfect bonus or border bonus (in theory)
Seiryu: clear at least two expert courses as well as 1st Dan or above

if the Distorted machine isn't hooked up to Eamuse, I assume there's no way of playing the Cardinal Gates? :\

I believe so, aside from manually messing with the hard drive to change song data around
