Source-derived summary

DJMax Portable 3 (Korean: 디제이맥스 포터블 3; abbr.: DMP3) is a music game for the PlayStation Portable published and developed by Pentavision in South Korea, and is a sequel to the earlier DJMax Portable games. DJMax Portable 3 was announced shortly after DJMax Technika 2 was announced. The official trailers from PM Studios and Pentavision quickly followed. It is the seventh installment of the game for the PlayStation Portable, and is regarded as the actual sequel to DJMax Portable 2 since Clazziquai and Black Square branched out for the METRO Project in 2008, Fever for the North American release and the Technika series globally.

New Features

Removal of autocorrect (where a single button can be bashed to complete a song) and removal of the green specialist note (which, if missed, muted the song until another specialist note was hit).

The button modes have been renamed to XT where X refers to the number of buttons (ex: 4B is now 4T)

A new game mode, known as "REMIX SYSTEM", involves using the analog stick and pressing the square, triangle, and circle buttons. This new mode comes in the name of X.2T, where X is the button mode. The "gear" has been enlarged.

Network, Link Disc, Album (OST only, not MV edition), 5B, 8B, 4BFX, and 6BFX have been removed.

Two notes introduced along with the REMIX SYSTEM: Turntable Notes are purple long notes that are played by moving the analog stick, and are based on DJ scratch and cross-fading; Sampler Notes resemble synthesizer notes or sound effects, and are played using the Square, Triangle and Circle keys when the analog stick is shifted to the left or right.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5205229. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2008.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
