== General Information ==


e-AMUSEMENT is an online service offered by Konami to enable certain games to access special unlocked content, as well as providing live Internet ranking. It is used primarily by [[What_Is_Beatmania_IIDX|Beatmania IIDX]] and [[What_Is_Pop_n_Music|Pop'n Music]]. Currently, e-AMUSEMENT will only work in Japan, as you need a subscription with Konami to activate it.
'''e-amusement''' (formerly '''eAMUSEMENT''' or '''e-AMUSEMENT''') is an online service offered by KONAMI since August 30th, 2002 to enable certain games to access special locked content, as well as providing live Internet ranking. It is used by all current BEMANI games alongside other KONAMI arcade games.


= Functions =
Initially, players had to use one ''Entry Card'' (エントリーカード) for each game and register it to a KONAMI ID. Its replacement, the ''e-amusement pass'' was introduced in November of 2005. Unlike the Entry Cards, one e-amusement pass can be used for more than one game. On November 17th, 2010, support for mobile and BitCash was added.


* Allows users to register scores and records on their own cards.
The Asian e-amusement service undergoes maintenance every weekday morning from 5:00 to 7:00 JST. An extended maintenance period affecting all regions occurs every third Tuesday of the month from 2:00 to 7:00 JST. During this period, arcade games that run under the e-amusement service are still playable, but any scores or progress made towards unlocks will not be saved. All e-amusement pages with the exception of the portal site are also temporarily taken down, rendering any customization options or score data that requires the web interface inaccessible. Any arcade games that are running in demo mode during this window will display a message stating that the network is under maintenance and e-amusement passes cannot be used.
* Provides live Internet ranking.
* Unlocks secret songs.


= How To Use (Beatmania IIDX) =
As of 2012, most arcade KONAMI games run under e-amusement participation service, which requires an active e-amusement network to be connected to the machine in order to boot up. Once the e-amusement support ends for a particular game, the game is no longer playable in any form unless an offline kit is available, allowing the game to boot up without the need of a network.


# Insert coin(s) and press Start.
On February 9th, 2018, it was announced that specific e-amusement passes will support unified specifications with that of SEGA's ''Aime'' and BANDAI NAMCO's ''BANAPASSPORT'' passes in summer 2018, allowing for shared compatibility between any games that are supported. The service, named ''Amusement IC'', was finally implemented on October 25th, 2018. On January 22nd, 2019, TAITO announced that their service, ''NESiCA'', would also support Amusement IC starting from February 14th. A list detailing supported titles can be found on each company's respective page.

== Registering an e-amusement pass on an arcade machine ==
e-amusement passes can be purchased from your arcade operator. Registering a new card can be done on any e-amusement enabled machine. As an example, in beatmania IIDX:
# Insert / Scan your card into the reader on the side. You will be shown the terms and conditions; select the agree option "はい", "yes", or "네".
# Input a 4-digit PIN. This is used to authenticate your card. Input it again to confirm.
# Enter your IIDX DJ name (up to 6 characters), then the region:
#* Any one of the 47 prefectures of Japan;
#* Any select countries outside Japan, those being: アメリカ (The Americas), オーストラリア (Australia), カナダ (Canada), 香港 (Hong Kong), インドネシア (Indonesia), マカオ (Macau), マレーシア (Malaysia), メキシコ (Mexico), フィリピン (Philippines), シンガポール (Singapore), 韓国 (South Korea), 台湾 (Taiwan), タイ (Thailand), and 海外 (others/overseas)
#** Before [[AC CANNON BALLERS|beatmania IIDX 25 CANNON BALLERS]], the America entry was 米国 (USA).
# You will be asked to confirm your beatmania IIDX details.
DanceDanceRevolution:
# Scan your card on the reader next to the monitor, on the side, or below the monitor.
# You will be shown the terms and conditions, just like IIDX.
# Set a 4-digit pin to use as an authentication code. Repeat the same combination to confirm.
# Enter your DDR Dancer Name (8 characters) and then select your region/country. America has regions sorted by state.
#* Before [[AC DDR A|DanceDanceRevolution A]], the America entry was 米国 (USA).
# Your DDR Code and dancer information is now saved.
Subsequently, simply insert or scan your card, enter your PIN, and register your card on that game (if you have not done so).
