Using Features

How do I generate my Best 50?

Send one of these commands:

  • b50
  • best50

Bind your SEGA ID before using b50 and similar commands.

See Score Commands for details.

How often should I update my scores?

Update after each play session:

maimai update

This fetches your latest scores from maimai NET.

How long does score update take?

Usually 2 to 3 seconds, depending on:

  • Number of songs you've played
  • SEGA server response time
  • Queue wait time (if many users are updating)

Why isn't my latest score showing?

  1. Did you update? Run maimai update first
  2. Check maimai NET: Is your score on the official site?
  3. Wait time: Scores may take a few minutes to appear on maimai NET
  4. Network issues: SEGA servers may be slow
