what this is you're playing a beatmania clone online with other people. complete with viewing others levels, chat, and six player mode, i think eight in total.
only thing is, everything is in japanese.
well that's what this link is for,
http://www.worldlingo.com/en/websites/url_translator.html
just paste the url in there, and put japanese to english. leave this window open for now, you'll need it.
first, here are the system requirements,
http://www.worldlingo.com/S9M7KdqhsbwbxnS8JKzNpCdNJiak_k9Ya/translate
now, open another online window and go to the site below,
http://www.netmarble.jp/
on the left side there is a spot for a person to log in. underneath that should be a picture of a pencil writing on a paper, click it.
now this is what the translator is, copy the url to
http://www.worldlingo.com/en/websites/url_translator.html
which should be open, put the setting from japanese to english. this shows you the whole layout and where to fill in your id and such. NOTE, don't fill out your info on the english page, it won't work. that's why you need all these windows open.
another note, when filling out the needed info a mini window will pop up. be sure to use the same id on both required boxes, this will lessen the confusion when you try and log in. insert a name and you should click the left side button. more words will come up then push the bottom button for an OK. if you keep getting a windows error while doing this, it's telling you that the name is taken. once you're done with all of that, push the large purple button underneath the form.
now the next page is the confirmation page of your info, now click the left button below this info. and another page will come about after this, click the bright pink button with the exclamation mark.
loading, loading, and done, you're in. play along with this site if you want, push START to play the slot. don't worry, this is a free gaming site. this will be used on your avatar. if not, push the huge button on the bottom.
there, you're logged in. now open another window and paste the following link,
http://game.netmarble.jp/cpsite/djmax/download/down_01.asp
download DJ open edition, and the bottom download for the type of cpu you have. once saved in your cpu, find them and run them.
when you're done installing them go to this page,
http://game.netmarble.jp/cpsite/djmax/index.asp
log in, then press game start.
now here is where things get fuzzy, when you push GAME START a window with a pic of the dino on top will pop up. this is the wierd online installer. NOTE: on some cpu's it could appear to be cut off on the right side, don't worry. on the right is a button in where you which to save the program, choose desktop for now. below in the box ar two little boxes, check them.
look, it be trail and error at this point. it's only a couple of buttons that you could be off, but keep trying.
if succesful, you'll see a progress bar. this is loading up and saving the program DJ max. this will take a while, i think 20-50 minutes.
as you wait remember,
alt+control+delete
use this once the you are inside the game, you need to exit cause since all the text is japanese the letters might up being seen as an empty box. this is becuase you need to restart your cpu.
once done, DON'T FREAK OUT. a wierd huge window will pop up from windows, click the bottom left button to launch the game.
the first time launch of DJ max, most of the text in the game will be those non-inputted text, restart your cpu.
IMPORTANT NOTE, to play DJ max you have to go and log in again on netmarble.jp, click on the icon of DJ max, and press the game start icon. it'll launch right away, click the bottom left button again to luanch when the windows thing overtakes the screen.
in the main menu, you can pick by playing with five keys or seven keys. pick five keys please, it's eaiser. on the right side are the lobby rooms and the number of people shown as a bar.
inside a room is this whole layout,
on the left are the people in the room with you.
in the middle are rooms with people in it.
on the way right is the gameplay modes,
freeplay is freeplay
ranking is where you'll need to go. this is where you level up and earn points to avatars and other stuff.
on the bottom right are your options.
the wrench is your gameplay controls, video, controls, volume,
shop is well, the shop to buy stuff.
the message bubble is for private chat and adding friends.
the arrow that's all turned is the back button.
for now and mostly always pick ranking mode,
here's where time plays out. as you scroll through the songs you have to download them like in FlashFlashRevolution. except once they're downloaded they stay that way and you can pick them on anytime. as you browse the songs list pick the ones with only a ring circleN the logo. these are the ones that are free, the ones with the words premium is for those that put money into thier account. there's a lot to download though. your cpu won't run any slower due to this.
but yeah, this is the whole layout of putting in DJ max.
if you need anymore info reply to this topic, don't message me.
also some things might be mispelled or not make sense cuz i don't feel like reading through this again. if you notice any mistakes that lead you to confusion, let me know.
if you happen to be lucky enough to complete and be able to play DJ max, here is my gamertag on the site,
