= Codes & Unlock Information =
== Codes ==
== Play Hidden Songs ==
* To activate a play mode or modifier, you must do so from the title screen when either the "PUSH 1P START BUTTON" or "PUSH 1P START BUTTON OR PUSH 2P START BUTTON" message is flashing.
* To unlock the hidden songs ([[Believe again]]; [[nine seconds]]; [[area code]]) for play in the regular modes (NORMAL and EASY), follow the steps below on the title screen while it says to press either START button.
** In this game you can combine certain play modes and modifiers, but some combinations require you to first insert at least 2 credits.
# Turn the 1P turntable clockwise two times, then press and release 5.
;Play Modes
# Turn the 1P turntable counterclockwise two times, then press and hold 5.
*EXPERT: Hold 1, then press START.
# Select any desired options and modes except EXPERT (see [[AC bm 3rd#Select_Options|Select Options]]), then press START.
*DOUBLE: Hold 2, then press the START button that corresponds to the desired type of DOUBLE mode.
* This unlocks the songs for play in the regular modes (NORMAL and EASY).
** 1-Credit: If you press 1P START, you play a mode that is similar to FREE mode in certain games. You have two guaranteed stages and can pick any song that is listed (you must separately enter unlock codes for any songs that require them).
** The stages that each song can be selected on will depend on the DIP switch settings for the number of playable stages.
** 2-Credit: If you press 2P START, you can play all normally accessible modes.
*** Default settings (4 playable stages): [[Believe again]] appears on Stage 2; [[nine seconds]] appears on Stage 3; [[area code]] appears on Final Stage.
* If performing the code still does not unlock the hidden songs and secret course, the turntable wiring is reversed and should be corrected.
** When the turntable wiring is correct, rotating the turntable clockwise increases the turntable value in the I/O TEST menu, and moves right on the song select screen.
* The unlocked state will not save between games, and the code must be entered each time before the game is started.


;Modifiers
== Play Secret EXPERT Course ==
* BATTLE: Hold 3, then press START.
* To unlock the secret EXPERT course (SPECIAL) for play in EXPERT mode, follow the steps below on the title screen while it says to press either START button.
* HIDDEN: Hold 4, then press START.
# Turn the 1P turntable clockwise twice, then press and release 5.
* MIRROR: Press 8-10-8-7-6 three times, then press START.
# Turn the 1P turntable counterclockwise twice, then press and hold 5.
* RANDOM: Almost the same as the above, except don't press 6 on the third time.
# Select EXPERT by pressing and holding 1, then after selecting any other desired options and modes (see [[AC bm 3rd#Select_Options|Select Options]]), press START.
** In other words, press 8-10-8-7-6, 8-10-8-7-6, 8-10-8-7
* If successful, SPECIAL will appear in the list on the course select screen.
* The unlocked state will not save between games, and the code must be entered each time before the game is started.


== Song Unlocks ==
== Select Options ==
;Believe again, nine seconds and area code

*On the title screen, turn the 1P turntable clockwise 2 times, hold 5, then turn the turntable counterclockwise 2 times and press Start.
** Note that neither method is available while Event Mode is enabled.
**This unlocks the songs for play in the regular modes, and the SPECIAL course in EXPERT mode.
; Options Menu

** 1 (left white key on 1P side): EXPERT

** RANDOM: Press 8-10-8-7-6, 8-10-8-7-6, 8-10-8-7 (this pattern is from measure 21 of [[Do you love me?]])
* When one of these options is selected, after START is pressed the text "MIRROR PLAY" or "RANDOM PLAY" will appear on screen, before the MODE SELECT screen appears.


;ANOTHER charts
== Play ANOTHER Difficulty Charts ==
*Highlight either [[20,november]] or [[Attack the music]], then when the timer is at 11 seconds, press 1 and 6 at the same time.
* On the song select screen in NORMAL mode (does not work in EASY mode), follow the steps below to play the ANOTHER chart of a song that has one.
**Note that Attack the music doesn't have a DP ANOTHER chart.
** Note that this method is not available while Event Mode is enabled.
# Highlight a compatible song that has an ANOTHER chart.
## [[20,november|20,november (single mix) / 20,november (radio edit)]]
## [[Attack the music]] (SINGLE only)
# When the timer is at 11 seconds, simultaneously press and hold 1+6.
* Follow these steps if you are having trouble simultaneously pressing 1+6.
# Use the turntable to scroll the song selection screen.
# While the records are moving on screen, press and hold one of the two buttons (e.g. 6).
# Continue to hold the button, then use the turntable to highlight the song you want to play.
# With the button still held down, press the second button (e.g. 1) to select that song when the timer is at 11 seconds.
 
== Event Mode ==
;Selecting Mode During Event Mode
* When Event Mode is enabled, there are several differences in making selections, which are as follows.
** The options menu is not shown on the title screen, preventing selection of options from there.
*** As noted in [[AC_bm_3rd#Select_Options|Select Options]], the "Key Buttons" options are also unavailable.
*** As such, there is no known way to select options during Event Mode.
** The MODE SELECT menu is skipped, preventing selection of game mode.
** Song selection is performed with the START button(s), instead of a white or black key button (1/2/3/4/5 or 6/7/8/9/10).
** To make each selection, follow the procedures below on the song select screen.
* Select Mode
** Press the following button(s).
*** 1P START: SINGLE
*** 2P START: DOUBLE
*** 1P+2P START: BATTLE
**** Two-player non-BATTLE mode (DOUBLE chart with two lifebars) cannot be specifically selected while in Event Mode.
***** However, if a chart says that BATTLE cannot be played and BATTLE is selected anyway, it will play two-player non-BATTLE mode (DOUBLE chart with two lifebars).
