# Pump it Up NX Absolute
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document collects various information about the game itself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Trivia
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Release: December 2008
|
||
|
|
* USB player profiles from NX2 can be carried over and are extended by the game on first load. NXA
|
||
|
|
USB profiles are not backwards compatible with NX2.
|
||
|
|
* The original game only allows special brand of usb thumb drives. Other drives are not accepted by
|
||
|
|
the game. Profiles were managed and uploaded by the player using a proprietary software called
|
||
|
|
"PUMBI" which is no longer supported.
|
||

## World max guide and unlocks
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Either take a look at the `missions.txt` file which is either located on the compressed file system
|
||
|
|
of an original drive or in the `game` data folder of some data release, or use
|
||
|
|
[blood618's guide](guide/nxa.pdf) which was published on ph-online back in the days.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Missions.txt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Take a look at the `missions.txt` file which should easily reveal a bunch of useful information
|
||
|
|
already like mission conditions.

||
|

### Unlocks sourced from disassembly (icex2)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sourced from the disassembly of the 1.10 build.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The game takes any saves from NX2 and converts them to NXA saves. Internally, this is done by
|
||
|
|
simply appending new data to the existing NX2 save file format. However, this does not keep the
|
||
|
|
format (backwards) compatible at all, as some missions have changed as well as how unlock flags
|
||
|
|
are processsed by the game, e.g. barrier unlock flags are entirely re-mapped.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Barriers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*EFxxx* identifiers are the official "mission step" identifiers used in the game's code and
|
||
|
|
assets. You can use these to search for the mission entries in the `mission.txt` file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Total of 10 barriers to unlock. IDs denote game internal identifiers for each barrier.
|
||

|
||
|

||
|
|
* Clear More-Powerful 8 / Evgeneia Geist (EF599)
|

|
||
|
|
* Accumulated clear percentages (see profile overview on USB load) of World Max, Arcade Station,
|
||
|
|
Brain Shower and Special Zone >= 40%
|
||
|
|
* Which means that achieving >= 40% on one station alone, e.g. World Max, also works
