Did you get the Dj Max Launcher that was in the folder I sent you?
With that you can change the game to English as well as change the resolution and turn off vertical sync although I'm sure that's off anyway because worms requires it.
Because I have a keylock keyboard my 5 key set up is E D (space) G H. So the left hand side is in a kinda vertical line and the right hand side is a horizontal one. I use W for the fever button for 5 key. I haven't found anything else which I'm really comfortable with. The original Dj Max never had the fever bar so it was all a bit weird at first. I like having the space bar as the centre note for both 5 and 7 key. For 4 key I use ED GH with space as my fever. On 7 key I use SDF (space) JKL with X as my fever button but that is really annoying me as I get keylock conflicts. 8 key also produces these conflicts so I think I need a new keyboard!
There is no ingame explanation for the various stat increases offered by the various gears and notes etc.
Tech is the one you really wanna go for though because it increases your accuracy so you get more 100% notes. I have a +5 tech gear, a +3 tech note and a +3 tech character which means I can mistime slightly but still be given 100% max on a note.
The fever bar fills up when you get 100% max notes and when it reaches the top you can activate x2,3,4 and 5. As soon as you activate fever the bar will slowly disappear so you must fill it up quickly or else it will disappear and you'll have to start again. Missing a single note during a fever will pretty much f@#! up your chance of keeping it going. Getting some 90% and 80% notes will make the fever bar reduce quicker but you should still be able fill it up in time.
Getting +fever on your stats will help you fill the fever bar up quicker which gives you more room for error.
Getting 5x fever is essential for score based missions. You really do get a massive score for keeping x5 for the majority of the song.
+auto means that you can completely miss a note but instead of losing your combo, you will just be given 1% for the note you missed and the combo will continue. Get +8 auto means you can miss 8 notes during a song before the notes will count as actual misses and stop your combo.
Spec on your gear is just the size of the energy bar.
Defub is how much your gear's energy bar will replenish itself.

Choosing the speed of the song is a tough one. Obviously the notes start falling faster once you get up to x4 x5 so you might wanna start off a bit slower to accomodate for the speed increase.
You can also use F3 and F4 in game to speed up and slow down the notes. You know when the very first note falls down to start your fever. I use this to test the speed and then quickly press F3 or F4 so get the speed how I want it.
You can't change the speed using the F keys whilst you're in a fever but you can at any other time.
Hope this helps. Any favorite songs so far?
Any songs that you unlock will appear in Stage mode. Then once you play them in stage mode they will appear in free mode.
Any more questions then let me know man.
Oh and I've uploaded the whole unlock list for Dj Max Trilogy. It is a great resource for finding out how to unlock all the songs. And you're right about the missions. Some of the low level ones are really evil and some of the harder ones are passable.
Now I've got tonnes of gears and stuff I can choose different gear for different missions. Like ones which require combos I might wanna put on a gear with +auto. Ones for score I might wanna do fever/tech. It's quite cool to mix and match.
Here is the link to the unlock list.
