"arcade" mode refers to the screen setting. in the japanese ps/sat versions (don't know ps2) you have the choice of 3 screen modes: original 1 (yoko) , original 2 (yoko wobble) and arcade (tate). because the patterns are significantly different in yoko mode it should be clear that tate (eg arcade, like mike sad) mode is to be used.
only *after* selecting the screen mode one can select a difficulty. the home version has 7 levels from "monkey" (lol) to "very hard", it defaults to "normal" (5).
the pcb on the other hand has 4 levels from "easy" to "very hard", it also defaults to "normal" afaik.
if one assumes that psikyo added 3 easier levels (monkey, child, very easy - those folks had a sense of humor!) *below* the pcb easy level, i think that ps/sat normal is indeed identical to pcb normal.
and btw:

Less is more.
