Let's unlock power stone 2 once and for all

Hey, just registered because I love Power Stone, and I wanted to find more information about this. I translated the screenshots you posted (through google and online translators), and I don't think it has anything to do with unlocking things.

Communication battle
Power Stone 2 Homepage
Upload File

(Second Picture)

Because it corresponds to the remainder of the bottom
You cannot registered score

50000 score below points
continue to score
score change the settings

My interpretation:
Communication battle - I have no clue, unless it's to create VMU data like in the US release.
Power Stone 2 Homepage - Self explanatory
Upload File - Upload High score

Because the second set seem to be saying:
You can't upload your score if you do any of the following:
Score less than 50000 points
Continue the game
Change the settings

I'm not sure where you upload the data too, it's possible it could use the Dreamcast's internet function and distributes it that way. Or it could upload it to the arcade machine.
While I was researching, I found an article stating that you could create custom VMU items like the mini-book in the US and that could be plugged into the arcade cabinet to get the same affect in the game (Custom items and decorations.)
It's quite possible there is no VMU unlocking function, and it was done entirely through codes. But the custom item thing is pretty neat if true.

EDIT: I forgot the very first image, that's just a warning telling you that entering the menu will lose any data you haven't saved. Basically telling you to save your game before using this feature.
 
I've made the arcade file on the VMU from fully unlocked console saves. At this point it seems the items are unlocked similar to MVC2 (op side / gameplay on cab) and not anything from the VMU.

The codes work and are much less annoying than MvC2 was (pre-hack), but a patched netboot of powerstone 2 with the unlocks is still a thing I'd love to see happen.
