RE: cmod? MA? etc, some questions =)

Cmod is a setting that makes the arrows move at a constant bpm. So if you're using c400, the arrows will always scroll as if the bpm of the song was 400bpm. This effectively does the same thing as using multipleX arrow speed, which makes the arrows travel faster, thus spacing them apart and making them easier to read. The difference is if you were playing a song with a variable bpm and using an arrow speed mod instead of a cmod, when you hit a slowdown the arrows would seem to scrunch back together since the bpm dropped. MA stands for Marvelous Average: the number of Marvelous hits you have compared to Perfects, Greats, Goods, etc. To turn on Event Mode go to Options>Coin Options and you will see the option to turn event mode on. One other tip that you might find useful is turning menu timing off, which lets you look at your songlist, or end score as long as you want. Go to Options>Machine Options and it's the first line of that menu.
