Author's Note
---------------
Prior to these update, I have receiving e-mails regarding the game's
topless code. For the full explanation about the code, please check
the Q & A section under the last section of the FAQ. The code DOES
NOT work as based on my testing. However, a trick posted by people at
the GameFAQs message boards does works.
Thanks to a few readers, I have managed to corrected and expanded some
of the minor facets that I have overlooked.
As I am currently serving the Army, I will not have much time in reply
e-mails. By the way, please do not sent e-mails to my old e-mail a/c
as I no longer read e-mails from there. Please wait for at least 3
days for my reply. If you need help urgently, consult other FAQ
writers for this game. The message boards at GameFAQs is also a ideal
source of help.

Game Overview
---------------
This beach volleyball simulation game (I will not classified as a
sports game...) features those lovely chicks from Dead of Alive Series.
The game involves from Zack, the winner of the DOA 3 Tournament who
subsequently strikes lottery at the casino and bought over an island.
The name was named after him. Up to something mischief, he invites ONLY
female competitors from DOA series for the tournment, DOA 4. You will
be choosing to play as one of 8 gals for 14 day vacation in Zack's
Island.

Zack's Island
---------------
Zack Island consists of several places of interest and they are:-
* JUNGLE
It's cool under the trees and it's green as far as the eye can see.
* HOTEL
It's a paradise! There's even a casino!
* ZACK'S STATUE
Hmm...
* RADIO STATION
The DJ has the place jumpin' Keep those request coming!
* BASS ISLAND
What a cool little island. Well they say: When in Rome...
* SPORTS SHOP
Buy swimsuits here. Check back daily!
* ACCESSORY SHOP
Some nice, small items. Lots of variety
* VACHT HARBOR
All those sails are quite a sight
* NIKI BEACH
A nice out-of-the-way spot. Wonder what's here
* PRIVATE BEACH
A quite beach for Zack's private use
* ZACK OF ALL TRADES
A stall that would opens on fourth day of a girl's vacation.
3.1 - Basis
The gameplay is relatively simple as you just need to your time on the
island by playing beach volleyball, practice your hopping at the
poolside, purchases accessories and stuff from shops and interact with
the girls that stays on the island.
3.2 - Options Menu
Before you start the game, you can go to the Options where you get to
switch your controls between digital and analog. Analog controls will
cause the power of the character's spike, serve or jump based on how
hard you have pressed the button. Digital allows you to have a 4-
buttons control with Attack (hard), Attack (soft) and Receive (hard)
or Receive (soft). In my opinion, digital controller is easier as you
can control the hard/soft of the controls that you want. You can view
the federal warning and age settings under the Options menu.
3.3 - Starting the Game
Every character has her own likes and dislikes. Winning games help to
build teamwork and the relationship between the two. Whoever you choose
as your character, they will meet up with Lisa on the poolside who
offers to take you on a tour around the island. Of course, you are
playing as Lisa, you will meet up with Tina instead. On the first play,
you will be guided along for the first day. However if you have
completed the 14-day vacation with at least 1 character, you will be
given the option to skip the tour. However, it will bring down your
affection with Lisa. You start the game with 10,000 Zack Dollars or
your previous remaining amount from the character's previous vacation.
The reason why it is Lisa inviting your character for the tourney is
because she is co-host of Zack's Island & Zack's sister!
3.4 - Replaying a vacation
If you are using the same saved file but using another character, you
will most likely find items that you have previously given the
character as gifts (provided that she did not discard them...).
Unfortunately, they cannot be re-sent as presents $_$:)

D A Y A C T I V I T I E S
A single day on Zack Island is practically divided into 4 "parts" -
morning, daytime, evening and night time. You can only doing the
following events during the day (morning, daytime & evening):-
A day at Zack Island can be divided into 4 "parts" as the following:
1) Morning - everything accessible* except for Bass Island & Casino
2) Daytime - everything accessible* except for Casino
3) Evening - everything accessible* except for Bass Island & Casino
4) Night time - you can only access the Casino.

P o o l s i d e

Take a rest at the poolside and play the hopping mini-game. You can
also view your items and have a rest (gravure system mode) at the
pool. Note that when you are not moving D-Pad or left thumbstick, you
will enter into the gravure mode while your character is lying on the
bench chair.
Entering the poolside will give you the following options:
Leave the poolside : Leave the pool
Take a rest* : Enter into pool gravure mode system
Play hopping game* : Play the mini game
View items : View your items, accessories, items & presents
Quit the game : Exit "Zack's Island Mode"
I supposed most of the options are straight forward except for the
options mark in asterisk. Select either one of these commands will
allows you to move past a "part" of a day. Gravure mode will differ
depends on the "part" of the day.
I have also discovered that the Gravure movie will change if you
change your character's costume or equipped the character's favorite
item. Please refer to gravure mode listing under each individual
character's profile. Gravure movie shown are also based on the days.
For example for Hitomi, there are 2 gravure movies for daytime. You
will get the gravure movie of her sitting by poolside on odd days
while a gravure movie of her lying on the poolside on even days.
------------ Note: The digital controls can be applied for this
Hopping Game mini-game.
------------
The mini-game objective is relatively simply. You just need to move
your character from one side of the pool to other by jumping on the
floating boards. Once you fall into the pool, you will be given the
option to retry or quit the mini-game.
For analog controls,
Hopping is basically affected by pressure sensitivity of the (A)
button. Your character will hop further if you hit the (A) button
harder. You can calibrate the pressure before beginning of any hopping
mini-game game. Hit the start button to proceed. You can make use of
digital controls by hit (A) as hard button and (B) as soft button.
The faster you get to other side of the pool, the higher your score
will be. All points earned on Zack's Island will be converted to Zack
Dollars. In between, you will be gaining Nice points for making nifty
steps by chaining your jumps smoothly. Nice points will be accumulated
during hopping. However if you fall into the pool, the nice points
earned will be not be forfeited i.e. you will not receive any Zack
dollars. You can also zoom in while playing the mini-game.
The hopping game can generates a steady source of income and it also
allows you to be familiarised with the analog controls. It is ideal
for practicing with the analog controls.

_____________________________________________________________________
I supposed I don't need to explain too much as Lisa will explain for
you when you are playing the game for the first time. There are a
total of three shops - Sports Shop, Accessory Shop and Zack of All
Trades. The third shop will only open from the 4th day of the
character's vacation.
The items will be changed between days. So make sure you check them
out every time. However, there are a few points to take note of:
. Items such as food (milk, lobster, crabs, etc) & flowers (hibiscus,
roses, etc) will withered or go stale when you have keep them for
more than half a day. Once withered/spoilt, they will be discarded
automatically.
. Accessories are the only items that can be worn. Exceptions
includes the character's favorite item. For example, Kasumi's
favorite item allow you to change her hairstyle to braids or
ponytail.
. Swimsuits sold in the Sports Shops are ONLY specific to the
character's theme. For example, you will find flowers-theme
swimsuits when you are playing as Kasumi and birds-theme swimsuits
when you are playing as Leifang.
. In order to other theme swimsuits is by offering presents to the
other girls so that they will sent you a return gift when you
return back to the hotel at night. You can also play as the other
character and give gifts to your character, which is the faster
method.
. Zack will give you 3 swimsuits for the character when they return
to the hotel after winning beach volleyball. You can expect to
receive a gift from Zack every night. It seems that changing to new
swimsuits helps you to get new swimsuit earlier.
. Hit (X) button before attempting to purchase will allow you to
know whether the item is in your inventory. This hint is pretty
useful when you attempting to complete the swimsuit collection for
that particular character. You can also receive your character's
swimsuit from other characters as gift.
B e a c h e s / J u n g l e
_____________________________________________________________________
There are a lot of things while on the isolated regions of the island.
You can play beach volleyball when you have a partner and there are
2 characters within that area.
When there is nobody within that area, you will automatically proceed
to the gravure mode for your character. Hit Start or (A) button to
exit. The time will passes for a "part".
If you are alone, there are 1 or 2 companions on the area, you will
be given the option of:- 1) forming a partnership and 2) giving the
girl a present.
There is some art in forming partnerships and giving gifts. Before
forming a partnership, you must be on good terms with the character.
The relationship can be enhanced by giving likeable gifts to the
character. If you give a wrong item, it will bring down the mood
between the 2 characters. Winning volleyball games help to build
friendship. For the list of likeable objects, please refer to the
Characters Section for more details. Doing a gift presentation or
forming partnership (fail or succeed) will result you to spend a
"part" of the day.
If you have a partner and there are 2 characters found in that area,
you will be given an additional option of having a volleyball game.
You can pause the game by hit the Start button. If you choose to quit
the game, it will be counted as you lose the beach volleyball game.

Beach Volleyball
----------------
The volleyball game is relatively simple as it involves moving the
character around the field and using 2 buttons based on how hard you
hit the button. Good serves, blocks and spikes can earn you nice
points. The larger the point margins, the more points you will earn.
Basic Rules:
- Matches use the rally point system, where the serve goes to
whoever team has mostly recently scored. The character will take
turns in serving. The 1st player will have the chance to serve
first.
- The team that gets to 7 points first wins. Deuce may also be
called when the score is 6 to 6. If the score reaches 9 - 9, the
first team to reaches 10 points wins the game.
- There are no sidelines and endline on the court.
- Your team will always be on the left side of the court.
The volleyball game consists of 5 basic phrases:
Serving
```````
- Hit Down or Up on the D-Pad to change position before your
character begin to serve.
- To perform a serve, hit (A) to toss the ball up and hit (A) again
while the ball is in mid-air. You can make use of D-Pad to
determine the aim point of opposition's court.
Basically, there are 3 types of serves:-
1) Overhand Serve - the default serve technique.
View the instructions above. If you hit with good timing and a
strong force, you will be award 1000 nice points for the serve.
2) Underhand Serve
To execute the serve, hold left on D-Pad when your character is
facing right and hit (A) to toss and followed by (A) to hit.
This move does not possesses much power but it is very easy to
time.
3) Jump Serve
To execute the serve, hold right on D-Pad when your character is
facing right and hit (A) to toss. While the ball reaches the peak,
hit (A) to perform a Jump Serve. A great technique but hard to
time. If you hit with good time and strong force - you will be
awarded 2000 nice points for the serve.
Receiving
`````````
- Move your character towards the ball and lightly tap (B) to hit
the incoming serve or spike.
- To perform Two Attack,
Hold down (B) firmly when your character are about to recieve
the ball. For your character to perform Two Attack, hold down (B)
when your partner receives the ball.
Tossing
```````
- Short Toss: Tap (B) as your teammate receives the ball
- Long Toss: Press (B) firmly as your teammate receives the ball.
- You can determine the direction by pressing Up or Down on the
D-Pad. If you lightly tap (B) when your teammate is at the
backcourt, you can give her a quick toss for a back attack.
Spiking
```````
- Position your character with D-Pad and while the ball is in
mid-air, hit (A) to jump and (A) again to perform a spike. The
power of spike depends on hard you tap (A).
- When an opponent attempts to block, tap (A) again to perform a
feint.
- You will be awarded 1000 points for perform a nice spike.
Blocking
````````
- Timing is important. Hit (A) when your character is at the net
to perform a block.
Controlling your teammate
--------------------------
The computer will automatically control your partner, but you can
direct them with the right thumbsticks
Normal Shift R/ Down from Above
Your teammate decides whether to block or receive based on the
position
Block Shift R/ towards the net
Your teammate will try for a block near the net.
Receive Shift R/ away from the net
Your teammate will try to receive the ball in the backcourt.
General Tips
------------
Generally, it is a game based on reflexes and you will need to a lot
of practcie. I myself spend approximate 3 hours to perfect my
volleyball skills. Remember: Practice makes perfect.
- Make your receiving acts timely. Otherwise your character will be
very vulnerable for incoming spike.
- Spikes are great tools for attack but do not use them too often.
Ocassionally, use (B) for a soft spike when your opponent is
attempting to block you.
- Toss the ball often and set up your teammate for a spike.
- Plays the backcourt while your teammate is in front court and vice
versa.
- Do not hit <- + any button when receiving a spike at the back
court, your character will throw the ball off court most of the
times...
- You can force to automatic replay instantly by tapping L trigger
after a score is regristered. This does not work on the match
point.
You will ONLY be awarded nice points if you are on good terms with
your partner.
Scoresheet and Zack Dollars Earned
------------------------------------
7-0 150,000 Z Any other scores such as 7-6 and tie breaker scores
7-1 90,000 Z such as 9-7, 9-8, 10-9 will give 40,000 Z. If you
7-2 80,000 Z lose, no Zack Dollars (Z) will be earned. However,
7-3 70,000 Z you still get nice points that you have accumulated
7-4 60,000 Z in the game.
7-5 50,000 Z
Nice Points Listing
-------------------------------
Nice overhead serve 1000 Z
Nice block 1000 Z
Nice jumping serve 2000 Z
Knock opponent over with jump spike 1000 Z
Score a point with jump spike 1000 Z
Typically, these are conditions to attain nice points from your
partner. Nice moves are indicated by shadow movement and they are
more powerful than normal moves. To do this, you must achieve a good
timing on your serves/blocks/spikes...
Match points counts more than nice points. For example, a -1 score
will result a cut of 10,000 Zack dollars or 60,000 if your score is
6-0. You will need to score a lot of nice points to compensate for the
loss. Thus, I do not recommend you to go for jumping serve as there is
a high tendency of the ball hitting the net...
If your character is getting on bad terms with your partner (due to
losing beach volleyball matches or giving "dislike" & "hate" items
to her), your partner's performance on the court will be weakened. The
partner becomes more unwilling. It is like have a weak partner on
your team. Thus maintaining a relationship is crucial in order to win
breakout games.
In-game or story relationships could hurt the team's partnership...
For example, it is very hard to have a partnership between Kasumi and
Ayane as Ayane hates Kasumi... The only solution is give "love"
items to the partner and hope the relationship works out well. This
will thus affect the ethusiasm rating of your character and partner.
That is why it is marked with a "????" on the manual.
Character Types
----------------
Character types indicates the character's strengths. For example, a
character with high power rating indicates that the character could
dealt powerful spikes that could be hard for the opposition who will
be receiving. Below is the listing:-
Stats What it does?
````` ``````````````
Power (P) Affects the power dealt in the character's serves/spikes
Technique (T) Affects character's receiving of spikes and passing.
Defense (D) Affects character's defense in block and receiving power
spikes.
Enthusiasm Affects the character's mood in playing beach volleyball.

Speciality Type D: Generic - Lisa and Christie
Strategy
---------
Not all strategies could guranttee 100% victory. It still depends on
how you make your decisions while on the court...
For playing as Weak Power characters
(Kasumi, Ayane, Helena & Leifang)
------------------------------------
If you are playing as Kasumi/Ayane/Leifang/Helena (weak attackers),
it would advisible to recruit a character with high power rating for
your offense. In this case, I would opt for Hitomi (in my opinion,
she is easier to befriend than Tina...) Lastly, whenever you are going
for a spike and opponent is jumping to block, use a soft spike avoid
being blocked... Stay in the backcourt to utilize the character's
technique ratings. (Despite categorised as a "Defense" character,
Leifang has pretty good technique ratings...)
For playing with Weak Technique characters
(Hitomi and Tina)
-------------------------------------------
Hitomi and Tina will be likely to exprience in handling tough spikes
and lobbing the ball to their partners. I would recommend you to have
these characters stay at the front line for spiking. As for Tina, do
not go for blocks! Get high technique characters such as Leifang,
Ayane, Kasumi or Lisa as their partners.
For playing with Weak Defense characters
(Ayane and Tina)
-----------------------------------------
Defense does not count a lot if you do not go for blocks very often.
For Ayane, keep her at the back when opponents are attacking due to
her technique. As for Tina, stick at the front bay for catch lobs but
do not go for blocks.
N I G H T A C T I V I T I E S
There are only 2 places of interest: the hotel and the casino. More
details regarding the casino will be found at Section 6.
H o t e l
_____________________________________________________________________
Your character will automatically returns back to the hotel. You will
be able to view your items, your collection, watch movies (earned
from Zack), give presents to girls (especially your partner), sleep,
go down to the casino and gamble or quit the game.
Sleep and Collection
---------------------
Sleep will bring you to next day of the vacation. Collection section
allows you to view the number of swimsuits, accessories and items you
have gained. Note that it is IMPOSSIBLE to gain all swimsuits within
one vacation. You need to replay the Zack Island mode again by using
the same file. The items, accessories and swimsuits collected will be
available for usage when you play a new vacation with that particular
character. Collection allows you to store 1 kind of that item.
Giving Gifts
-------------
In order to boost relationship with other 7 girls on the island, you
will need to give them gifts. Gifts helps to build affection. If you
get along with the other girl, they might even give you gifts! (Most
importantly, other girl's collection of swimsuits.)
You cannot wrap a gift at the hotel. You can only obtain gifts by
buying and choose wrap at any one of the stores. If you are intend to
send a gift which is perishable such as drinks, food or flowers, so
make sure you bought these items during in the evening phrase.
Gifts obtained from other girls and Zack will be unknown until you
have opened the packaging. Note that you can give a gift from Zack
to another girl! Gift boxes will give you a general idea of what the
item will be like.
Please take note that this is only way to built up affection with
your partner as she no longer appears on the island. You cannot give
video tapes, gold and silver volleyball and special swimsuits as
gifts to other characters.
Relationships also carries on from previous vacations. If you messed
up the relationship with your current partner previously, most of the
time, your partner will be unhappy thus breaking up the partnership
eventually.
Watch Videos
-------------
There are a total of 7 video tapes, each earned from Zack. They are
demos and creator's view about the series "Dead or Alive".
DOA 1 Demo 1997
DOA 2 Realtime Demo 990217

Characters
------------
The cast of characters feature a total of 8 female characters from the
Dead or Alive series. Each girls have her own set of swimsuits, hobbies,
favorite color and interests.
- Affection and Friendship -
Personally, the character profiles includes swimsuits listing and tips
on building up affection with the character. If you need a complete
help on affection building, please refer to Robert Goode's Collectable
Checklist FAQ, which is available at GameFAQs <http://www.gamefaqs.com>
It is important to build up friendship as your partner will be more
motivated to team up with your character, thus it is winning beach
volleyball. Besides this, it also allows your teammate to accept
certain swimsuits as gifts. For example, not all characters likes the
Venus swimsuit.
- Gift Giving -
Please note that if the character is angry with your character, they
will also DISCARD away the LOVED items. Thus it is not advisible to give
a loved item to an angry character. If you want, wait for a day or so
to give the gift. If you given a gift that the character has already
have in their inventory, they will return the gift if you are good terms
or discarded the item.
- Phrases -
The character's phrases are obtained once you are in good relationship
with the character (i.e. you will find music notes on the character's
icon). They will open the gift and give the phrase as their comments.
- Gravure Movies -
Every character has their own set of unique Gravure movies. Some of
the movies can be locked when you are visiting that particular place
at even or odd days. The gravure movie controls are stated in your
manual.

General Comment:
----------------
Her hobbies is cooking, which sounds sensible to give her microwave
oven, frying pan, hourglass or silver set as gifts. She loves fluffy
toys such as bears and recipes (for her cooking). Basically, you can
give her any kind of jewels (as suggested by her swimsuit) along
with sky blue items. One of the easiest to coax...

General Comment:
----------------
Leifang is very easy to get along with. She loves all the fans that
you can find along with Chinese related items such as chinese
delicacies, nunchaku and orange. Apparently like Hitomi, she loves
teddy bears. For aromatherapy, you can get her an aromapot and
candles... She is easiest among all girls in getting good
relationship. Generally, she loves anything that is yellow...

General Comment:
----------------
Christie's occupation is an assassin, thus giving her westernised
weapons such as pistols, knives and revolvers are good choice of gifts.
She loves guitars and driving. Her favorite food is associated with
tomato. Quite hard to please as there are very little accessories that
could boost relationship with her. Sunglasses and black sneakers are
good choices of gifts.

______________________________________________________________________
Just before I end this section, there are few key pointers that I
would like to stress on about gift giving in DOAXBV.
1. Beware of items such as drinks, flowers and food. They will go
spoilt after a period of time (around 1/2 to 3/4 of a day). Thus
if you are buy them for a person who is not found, I recommend you
to buy it in evening and sent them via Hotel's "Give a Gift"
option. Items sold at Zack of All Trades can be only be bought
once for that particular vacation.
2. As you give likeable accessories, the girls will wear it as you
see them playing beach volleyball or during gurave mode. There is
an important note regarding this.
Make sure you did not give them the same gifts that they are
currently wearing. I have tried once by giving Ayane a denim
casquette which she is wearing. However, it got discarded despite
her mood is good...
3. It is possible to give swimsuits as gifts. However, I supposed
most people attempt to collect all swimsuits and would rather
spend the money on rarer swimsuits and items for gifts.
4. On receiving a gift, make sure that you do NOT discard the item
on that night. It will have a great impact on the giver's mood.
If you want to discard, do it on the next day.
5. Gifts that is not opened on 13th night will be available for
viewing on the next vacation you begin with the same character.
However, the chances of perishable items get spoil is relatively
high...
6. Get as many friends as possible so that you can finish the
swimsuit collection fast! They will help by giving you swimsuits as
presents... Specific swimsuits can also be obtained via this
method. These swimsuits will be available only if you have played
with the gift giving character. For example, I have played with
both Hitomi and Kasumi. I got a gift from Kasumi that features
the Gentian.
7. Playing volleyball does not affecting your character's
relationship with the opposition team. Instead, it will affect the
opposition team's relationship! It does have an impact on your
character and her partner though... Thus the best solution is to
WIN beach volleyball games.
8. This matter concerns Ayane and Kasumi. It seems that if you get
along well with either one of them, you will get a negative effect
with other due their personal hates. Well, I managed to get more
information about relationships...

10. If you intend to give a swimsuit gift to a girl, make sure that
the girl is not your partner (you have more opportunities in giving
gift to her) and win games against that particular girl. Give her
the swimsuit in evening (Ayane is a gift-thrower in the morning
^_^:).

Exhibition Mode
-----------------
I recommend you to play this mode first before starting to play Zack's
Island mode. This mode could give you the feel of how the beach
volleyball game is being played and it is an ideal training ground.
You will be able to choose your characters and given 10 places for
stage select. You will be able to use the acquired swimsuits from
Zack's Island Mode for these friendly games. You can have a 2-player
versus game. (Too bad, Tecmo did not add a 2 tag-mode for what it has
did for DOA 3...). When selecting your party, you find the following
options appear underneath the character. The swimsuit selectable
comprises of every single swimsuit that you obtained in each of the 3
save files.
Partner Level Mood
````````````` ````
Unwilling Weak Bad
Usual Normal Neutral
Confident Strong Good
These three status indicates your partner's ability. Confident will
bring in a strong teammate for the game. Under level select, you
can set your skill level and that of the computer-controlled players.
Choose from "Weak", "Normal" and "Strong". You can also set the total
points from 7, 10 and 15.
The Exhibition mode is also a useful mode for determining the
character's mood. If you observe carefully, the character icon has
some minor changes as her mood changes. Recognise the icons and use it
to help you in determine moods of your companions while in Zack
Island's Mode. You can find a detailed FAQ featuring this at GameFAQs.
That's all for the Exhibition Mode!

carries an individual group of names. For example, Kasumi's swimsuits
are named after flowers while Leifang's swimsuits are named after
birds. Swimsuits can be bought at the Sports Shop at any point of day
(morning, daytime or evening). However you can only purchase
character-specific swimsuits. Certain swimsuits can only be obtained
from Zack as gifts. In order to get swimsuits other than the
character's own, you need to get it from gifts with the following 2
methods:-
1) Get into good relationship with the target character. She will give
you a swimsuit gift eventually.
2) Play as the target character on a vacation and give the swimsuit
to your playing character. Choose "Leave tomorrow" and play as
the playing character. You will find the swimsuit at your
inventory!
There is a problem with method 2 is that there is a possibility of
the receiving character throwing away the swimsuit. The best solution
is to build on good relationship with the character and give her the
gift later. It is highly advisible not partner with the girl as you
have more chances of giving gifts to the girl than night.
Certain swimsuits upon equipped will give your character's additional
features. For example, equipping the Black Cat swimsuit on Christie
will features cat's ears on Christie.
Zack will give 3 non-purchasable swimsuits to every character. These
special swimsuits can only obtained for other character via gift
giving. To collect all swimsuits, you may need to play for more than
3 vacations. These swimsuits cannot be discarded. You cannot discard
a swimsuit while the character is wearing it.
There are a total of 304 buyable swimsuits. The swimsuit listing can
be found each individual character's profile.
6.b. Accessories
______________________________________________________________________
Accessories are items that can be bought from Accessory Shop & can be
equipped on the character. Unlike swimsuits, you can purchase any of
accessories listed below with any characters. The "Favorites" refers
the character listing that you should give the gift to.
Favorites that are marked with ? are unknown and will be updated when
I got the character's positive reactions about it. The favorites
listing may be subjected to errors.

Casino
-----------------
Gambling is not always a sure-win thing. But you can use it to
maximize your earnings in order to purchase those expensive swimsuits
for Lisa, Christie and Tina. Before you start to gamble, it is highly
advisable to gain some cash. If you lose all your money, you will be
forced to return to the Hotel.
The casino is only accessible at night from the Hotel menu.
Under the casino, it feature the following playable games:
- Roulette
- Blackjack
- Poker
- Slot Machine
You can switch your chips from 100 Zack Dollars to 10,000 Zack Dollars.
You can only bet once for Poker. Bet multiple times to top-up your
bettings. Press Cancel (B button) that number of times to quit.
Roulette
______________________________________________________________________
The roulette is most toughest to play. You will find your other
companions betting on roulette where every character is represented by
her own color chip. The color chip is as follows:
Kasumi - Pink Leifang - Yellow Tina - Blue
Hitomi - Sky Blue Christie - Black Ayane - Purple
Helena - White Lisa - Red
Only 4 players can play the roulette at one time. You can bet at
multiple squares within a time limit. You can view the scoreboard by
hitting the (Y) button. Hit (A) and use D-Pad to place your bets.
Hit (X) to commence the game.
Your objective is guess where the ball will land on the roulette. The
roulette is marked with black, red and green. You can choose to bet on
odds or evens, columns or evens or even the individual numbers. It is
possible to bet on all 38 spots but you will still lose as the odds
are at most 36:1...
I still need to more research. I would be happy if someone could help
me to explain this...
Blackjack
______________________________________________________________________
Blackjack is probably the most famous poker related game. Your
objective is to draw a set of cards to reach 21 points as close as
possible.
Rules:
- If you get more than 21 points, you will lose your bet.
- Banker must draw a card if its total is less than 16 and must stay
at 17 and above.
- The game will end automatically if the banker gets Blackjack (21)
- Aces can be considered as 11 or 1 points.
- K, Q, J and 10 are considered as 10-points card
Blackjack situations:
- Insurance will be prompted when a banker's card shows an Ace and a
covered card. If you choose "Yes"
1) Banker's card is 21 - you will not lose any money
2) Banker's card is not 21 - you will lose 1.5x of your bet.
If you choose "No"
1) Banker's card is 21 - you lose 1.5x of your bet
2) Banker's card is not 21 - the game resumes
- You will get 1.5x of your bet if you hit Blackjack (i.e. a 10-pts
card and an ace)
Controls
(A) Hit - Take another card
(B) Stand - Keep the cards that you currently held.
(X) Double Down - take an additional card to double your initial bet.
Split - if your cards are of the same value. You can have 2
"hands". If the split cards are Aces, you can get only an
additional card per Ace.
(Y) Surrender - take back half of your bet and give up the game.
Mathetically, you can manipulate your winnings with some calcuations.
A deck of cards consists of 52 cards. Thus calcuating...
Chances of obtaining a card's value is...
= 7 or > 7 (4x 7p + 4x 8p + 4x 9p + 4x 10p + 4x J + 4x Q +
4x K) / 52 x 100% = 53.8%
10-value card (4x 10p + 4x J + 4x Q + 4x K)/52 x 100% = 30.7%
< 5 (include Aces) (4x 5p + 4x 4p + 4x 3p + 4x 2p + 4x A)/52 x 100%
= 30.7%
Ace = (4x A )/52 * 100% = 7.69%
Calculations
< 7 28/52 x 100% = 53.8%
< 6 24/52 x 100% = 46.1%
< 5 20/52 x 100% = 38.4%
< 4 16/52 x 100% = 30.7%
< 3 12/52 x 100% = 23.1%
< 2 08/52 x 100% = 15.4%
The reason for the high probability of drawing a 10-pt card is because
of K, Q and J cards considered as 10-pt cards. Thus, there are sixteen
10-pt card as compared to 4 cards of other numbers.
It sounds logical that if you get 20, you should not hit as due to low
percentage of getting an Ace. Do not hit if you get 17-pts or more as
the chances of getting a card higher than 4 is definitely more than
30.7%. If you want to know more about DOAX: Blackjack check out Agent
Pliksen's Gamble FAQ, which is also available at GameFAQs
Poker
______________________________________________________________________
Poker is a fun game but you can only bet once. You will be issued 5
cards where you need to draw a second time. You are allowed to hold
your cards with the (X) button and cards that are not under hold will
be swapped with new cards. You will earn money if your cards matches
any one of the odds:
Hands and Pay Rates
------------------------
Five Cards 50x Flush 5x
Royal Straight Flush 30x Straight 4x
Straight Flush 20x Three Cards 3x
Four Cards 10x Two Pairs 2x
Full House 6x Joker 1x
If you match any of the above combinations, you will win back your bet
amount along with the pay rates. If your cards are combination of the
Hands (listed in the chart above), you will be allowed to play a
"Double Up" Game. If you got a Joker (Zack), you will be allowed to
play the "Joker" Game.
Getting the correct match
--------------------------
The chances of obtaining good hand such as Royal Straight Flush is
*extremely* slim. Your chances are higher if you discarded 3 cards,
instead of 2 cards. The chances of getting a better set of cards is
higher...
Note: If you fail the "double up" or selecting the Joker, you will
lose only the original bet.
"Double Up" Game
If you hit the hands listed on the chart above, you will be given an
option whether to "double up" your odds. This is probably best way
to earn quick money. "Double Up" will result you to earn the winnings
with the odds double. There are a total of 5 cards and open card will
be shown with it facing up. Your objective is to choose a card that
is higher than the facing card. For example, if the card is 5 of
Spades, you need to get 6 and above. Spade of Ace is considered the
largest and Joker beats any card on the list.
There are at least 1 Joker among the 4 choices and this means the
chances of winning the "Double Up" is high. It is 50-50 chance of
getting a card higher than the initial card. However, the chances
will be lower, as you goes on...
"Joker" Game
The Joker card game is a simple draw-a-Joker game. Initially, 2 cards
will be laid on the table. You need to draw a Joker. Subsequently,
there will be 4 cards if you have drawn the Joker in the previous
draw. The odds are pretty good as draw the Joker once will double
your bet money, twice will win you 2x of your bet money up to a total
of 5 wins. It is basically based on your guessing and luck...
Slot Machine
______________________________________________________________________
There are total of 8 slot machines (one for each character ^_^:) in
the game. The payout rate is different and some them could give you
heavy losses if you are unlucky. You can also identify the character's
likes from the machines, for example you see butterflies theme in
Ayane's slots machine and dolphins in Helena's slots machine
Controls: (A) Bet Left Analog Stick - move the camera view.
(X) Starts You can view odds on the upper part of the
(B) Cancel slot machine.
In my opinion, these is the "hardiest to win" form of gambling. All of
these based on luck. You need to match three slots according to the
score chart to earn money. The odds ranges from 5x to 500x! For
example, you bet 100 zack dollars and matches a selection that pays
you of odds of 100, you will get 100 x 100 = 100,000 Zack Dollars!
But in some of slot machines, there are negative values that could
cost you a fortune in losing a lot of money. If no match is made, you
will not earned any cash...
Slot Machines and their Payout Rates

Slot machines are difficult to win but they offer great payouts.
However, some of the slot machines offer negative odds. If you bet
100 Zack Dollars, you hit an odd that gives -100, you will lose
100,000 Zack Dollars! The most profitable and risky slot machine is
Christie's - The Target. It is advisible to set your chips to 100 Z
dollars instead of 10,000 Z. If you hit -500 (3 Sixes on Christie's
jackpot with 10,000 Z), you will lose 5 million!
Recommended machines: All except for Christie, Tina & Ayane

Secrets & Hints
-----------------
Skip to the Ending
-------------------
Once you have completed a 14-day vacation with any character, you will
find an additional option appearing at the Hotel menu that says "Leave
Tomorrow". By selecting this, it will end the current character's
vacation and proceed to the ending. It will applies on Day 2 of that
character's current vacation.
Complete Ending
----------------
Complete the 14-day vacation with any one of 8 gals. You will be able
to view the ending. Wait for the credits to view the aftermath of
Zack's Island.
Additional Soundtracks
-----------------------
Practically, some of the soundtracks are available at various parts of
the day. Some of the soundtrack are available in morning while some are
only available in evening. You need to enable them with (A) button by
visiting the Radio Station.
Visor Trick
------------
To have this trick work, you need a transparent visor for the character.
The character needs to wear a swimsuit has some sort-of-see through. Go
to the Poolside. The character should be lying on the bench. Change the
camera view with the L trigger and you should get a view that you will
be view through the visor. You will see the character's skin & some
stars covering those sensitive parts.
Tested Swimsuits: Gimlet, Emu

Before you consider e-mailing the author about further questions, please
kindly include DOAX or DOAXVB or Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball
as your subject than inputing the question as subject line.
Q & A
------
1) Where do I get more information about DOAXVB?
Official links for Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball
http://www.doaxvb.com (Official website) [flash website]
http://www.tecmoinc.com (Tecmo's official website)
Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball Game Data
- 1 ~ 2 players
- Custom Soundtracks
- In-game Dolby(R) Control
- Exclusive for Xbox
- 14 blocks
2) How I get quick money?
The best way is win beach volleyball games with large winning
margins. Play the hopping game for last 4 days could get you
at least 30,000 Z dollars per day if you have mastered that mini-
game. Gambling helps but it is rather risky.
3) How do I give the Venus swimsuit to <insert girl's name>?
You need to play as Lisa as only you can purchase the Venus swimsuit
while using her. First of all, you need to pamper the girl with a lot
of love gifts. Next get Lisa to partner with that girl. Continue and
improve the relationship with a series of "likes" and "love" gifts.
Win beach volleyball games and give the swimsuit on the 13th day of
the vacation.
4) Is there NUDE or NAKED mode in the game?
Absolutely no. This game is rated as Matured.
5) Does the rumoured TOPLESS CODE by Electronic's Gaming Monthly works?
It DOES NOT WORK!
Practically, it was another joke by the creators of the magazine. I
have tested the code out. I have received e-mails regarding this
code. According to my readers, the code is said to be done in the
following steps:-
In order to activate "Topless Mode", you need to finish a vacation
with a new saved file under 0:13 by using any other girl except for
Lisa.
1) Choose to partner with Lisa.
2) Visit accessory shop as told and exit.
3) Visit unoccupied places where you can view gravure movies. As
soon as you enter the gravure movie, choose to exit immediately.
4) In the evening, you will be forced to play a beach volleyball
game. Hit START to pause the game and choose to give up.
5) Do not visit the Casino at night and choose "Go to Bed" ASAP.
6) For the remaining days of the vacation, visit unoccupied places
to view gravure movies and quickly exit them. Go to bed when
your character is back at the hotel during night time.
7) Do this and view the ending credits. View your saved file and
it must be under 0:13 to activate the mode.
8) To activate, play a vacation with any character. Hit (Y) on
the current swimsuit that the character is wearing. The "W"
(wear) symbol will be replaced with "T" (topless).
[Thanks to Ryoichi Toraneko <[email protected]> & Joe Smith
<[email protected]>]
To do it under 13 minutes, you can go to the poolside and choose
"Take a rest" for a gravure movie. I have did that and get it under
12 minutes for the entire vacation. The (Y) button does not have
any impact on the swimsuit inventory screen.
I have seen from the message boards at GameFAQs that you need to do
it twice and save the second time on a memory card. Thus apparently
is FALSE as you cannot save the file on the memory card. All saves
have to be done in the console itself!
Once again, I would like to repeat the code does not work and it is
NOT A REAL CODE! By the way, do not trust the screenshots too much
as they can be edited. I believe it is another APRIL'S FOOLS JOKE
from Electronic's Gaming Monthly (EGM)
