Various DJMax Games After playing the game for a few minutes, the anti-piracy will; Add distortion to the background music before exceeding the pitch over time, randomize the playback speed of the keysounds and SFX audio, and/or flicker the graphics list to randomly skip drawing textures causing the screen to flash rapidly. After attempting to change the song one or two times, It will lock up the game. This is completely seizure inducing.
The full videos of the effects that happen in the DJMax games can be found here: https://youtu.be/f9JciTN5FNc https://youtu.be/Q09HtRAEhLQ
Pangya Fantasy Golf The game hangs upon startup.
The Idolm@ster SP

For DJMax Fever, the only difference between the UMD and PSN versions aside from the removal of the copy protection are 2 missions that are impossible to complete (in UMD versions) which is why the PSN version of the game is the only version of DJMax Fever to be supported on PSP RetroAchievements.
The patches for the DJMax games technically does not fix the Album section where it automatically presses the DOWN button on PPSSPP emulator. The album section should seem fine on hardware.
