That’s my understanding, I did my own for A20 Plus a while back and that’s how it was. If you did the hex edit to unlock all the songs then the removed licenses would show back up but with white jackets and no preview, and the game would crash if you picked one. I went through the older builds of A20 Plus to get the files for the removed songs and replaced the empty files and then they worked. The build for A3 I have with the licenses put back was posted earlier in this thread, someone else made it. I guess Reiwa was an oversight in restoring the licenses since the best I can tell all the others work just fine, but the big difference is unlocking all the songs in A3 didn’t put the empty licenses back like it did in A20 Plus.

You rock dude! Thanks so much!

Reiwa was in early DDR A3 versions and was removed kinda early on. It’s the A3 version with the new A3 challenge chart that I’m trying to play, and it’s a build someone in this thread put together with all the removed licenses retained. I know the others like the 20th Anniversary songs work, Hillbilly Shoes, Only My Railgun, etc, just this one is giving me issues. The files I had in the first place should have all been from A3 to begin with. I can’t see why it wouldn’t be compatible like you’re saying, it has to be another reason.

Unfortunately it's still crashing so I guess that's not the file I needed but I appreciate it. I'm not sure which file I need. I copied the video from A20 Plus and I know the video works there so the video file isn't why it's crashing. Maybe it's something in the startup.arc. I'll have to tinker with it and see if I can figure it out.

Is it possible for someone here to hook me up with the song file for Reiwa with the Challenge charts for DDR A3? The version with all the licenses that was posted while back has it in the game and the preview works with music and the jacket but it crashes the game when I select the song. I think the file I need is reiw.ssq.

Thank you. I'm installing VS Code now. You guys are super helpful, I really appreciate this community.

I just realized my game still shows 2024080601 for the build date in the top left corner. It's just cosmetic since the rest of the game updated properly with World League and what not, but how would I go about changing it? I'm certain I've seen it mentioned in here before back during A20 Plus but there are a lot of pages to read through to try and find it.

Yeah I have the latest one. That fixed it, thanks so much.

So does anyone else have swapped ratings for Akatsuki and So What? I really don't know how to fix this.

I'm not sure what happened but I have swapped ratings for Akatsuki and So What. Everything else looks right at a quick glance though. I'm not sure if it's a musicdb.xml issue or what, but yeah I see 11 Expert 13 Challenge on So What and 13 Expert 8 Challenge on Akatsuki. Edit: Also I'm having trouble with the webui for MonkeyBusiness for A20 Plus and A3. The webui page opens when I double click the index.html file, but it doesn't find any of the profiles. I have the webui folder in the root of the MB directory like the instructions say and I have the server running. I'm not sure what the issue is. Edit again: I'm leaving my dumb question there in case anyone else needs it, you open the webui from within the MB command prompt box that comes up, there is a link at the top. Then your profiles will all be there.

Check a couple pages back, a full final A3 including all removed licenses from the Ace games was posted.

https://remywiki.com/Money_Score “Sometimes, the score out of 1,000,000 that you achieve on a song in the DanceDanceRevolution series is also called by players "money score" in order to differentiate it from EX Score.” And the term has applied to DDR a lot longer than SN2 (the first game that scored out of 1,000,000). We were definitely saying it back in the Max-Extreme days to differentiate between score and grade since score was weighted so steps later in a song were worth more points and we knew the game had an invisible “dance points” score it used to calculate your grade (not the same as Oni scoring that went on to become EX score).

Ghost data works I would say like 99% of the time on official machines. I’ve just had several instances of it not working right like I described. It’s existed for a while, you can see it on Dr.D’s Megalovania video from A3. At the end his pacer shows him at +999,970 which is his end score so it paced him as if the record was 0. This same bug exists in DDR World as well as no pacer appearing when you set a target score.

As far as pacing/ghost data not working properly in Asphyxia, it doesn't work properly on an actual machine either. I've had several times where I had a score already and my pacer didn't show up, or where my pacer acted like it was pacing me to a zero score so I was plus by the amount of my money score at the end of the song. It's likely a game issue and not anything that can be fixed server side.

Ah, well, next time lol. I got it now. Thanks so much, that build actually went beyond what I was looking for (not that I'm complaining) even having the stuff removed in A20 Plus. That's awesome, thanks again.

I think its 0 on the number pad during song select to turn that on. You should see it highlight in the corner where it shows the high scores for what score you want to pace to, and there is text there to tell you what to press. If you don't have a score to pace to it won't show up.

Thank you. It might take me a couple days to download it with Mega's bandwidth rules, but I've started downloading. Edit: Yep, got parts 1-4 before the transfer limit kicked in on part 5. I only have to wait 6 hours though, not 24 like I initially thought. I figured that might be good information for anyone else looking to download this. Edit: There is another 6 hour wait to download part 8, all 71mb of it lol. But I'm almost done. Thanks again for uploading it.

For A3, does anyone have the files needed to put the removed songs back in? There are old posts where people would upload them for A20 Plus, but it looks like no one has done that in a while. But I don't really know what files I need to restore the jackets even if I could track down the ssq files. Stuff like Reiwa, Shiny Days, and the 20th Anniversary songs got challenge charts not in A20 Plus before being removed.

That’s actually pretty cool. Thanks for the explanation.

Okay, so weirdest thing, it's actually working. I wanted to see what happened if I started the game and it's working with the IP address that I had in spicetools previously, I didn't change anything there. So I think MB is just displaying weird showing that 0.0.0.0:8000, as far as the game can see it is running the right IP address. Edit: Sorry for all the edits, someone in this thread actually posted that August 2023 update I was missing several pages back, I have all 208 A3 songs now. But if someone has an easy drop in set up to restore the removed songs I would greatly appreciate it.

Okay so I completely uninstalled Python, moved all MB directories and used ccleaner to get all the now invalid entries out of the registry. I freshly installed Python, then freshly installed MB, and now the fresh install doesn't crash but it's still returning 0.0.0.0:8000 like the previous install. I've tried reading through some of the thread again but it's a lot of pages, and googling, just trying to see if there is something from the setup I'm missing/forgot since I initially set it up so long ago but I can't find anything. Now I basically can't play either A20 Plus or A3.

Nope, no VPN. I got the updated webui too. Reverting to the older one still works so I think something is wrong with how it updated. I tried starting from scratch and MB just closes right away, and I’m not sure I’m doing the right thing for fixing or deleting line 9 in start.bat from the troubleshooting section.

Hi I'm not sure if anyone here would know the answer but I upgraded MonkeyBusiness so I can move from A20 Plus to A3 and it won't get the actual IP address for the server. It's finding my profile and scores in the webui still, and the webui address is the correct one, it's just returning 0.0.0.0:8000 for the game for some reason. How can I fix this?
