# Supported games
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Game support is based on AVS version, not any particular game, and LayeredFS
|
||||||
|
supports almost all in-use AVS versions. However, these are games that LayeredFS
|
||||||
|
should work on:
|
||||||
|
- Beatmania IIDX (9th Style (untested) to latest release)
|
||||||
|
- Sound Voltex (all versions)
|
||||||
|
- DDR (X (untested) to latest release)
|
||||||
|
- pop'n music (15, ADVENTURE (untested) to latest release)
|
||||||
|
- jubeat (all versions)
|
||||||
|
- GFDM (v4 to XG3)
|
||||||
|
- GITADORA (all versions)
|
||||||
|
- MÚSECA
|
||||||
|
- DANCERUSH
|
||||||
|
- REFLEC BEAT
|
||||||
|
- BeatStream
|
||||||
|
- Nostalgia
|
||||||
|
- Bombergirl
|
||||||

## GFDM: an extra note
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As discovered in [this issue](https://github.com/mon/ifs_layeredfs/issues/5),
|
||||||
|
GFDM tools are currently very basic and don't perform some important path
|
||||||
|
remapping. While the game looks in `/data`, layeredfs can only see `/bin`. To
|
||||||
|
fix this, hex-edit `boot.dll`, and change `2E 2E 2F 00` -> `2E 2F 00 00`, then
|
||||||
|
move all the modules out of `bin` into the main game folder.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Where to put mod files / how textures work / edge cases
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here are some examples of the correct path to use for your mod:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### IFS files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`data/graphics/ver04/logo_j.ifs`
|
||||||
|
- To replace repacked IFS: `data_mods/example/graphics/ver04/logo_j.ifs`
|
||||||
|
- To replace individual texture "warning":
|
||||||
|
- `data_mods/example/graphics/ver04/logo_j_ifs/tex/warning.png`
|
||||||
|
- *or*
|
||||||
|
- `data_mods/example/graphics/ver04/logo_j_ifs/warning.png`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Jubeat or Gitadora .bin textures
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`data/d3/model/tex_l44fo_continue.bin`
|
||||||
|
- To replace repacked .bin: `data_mods/example/d3/model/tex_l44fo_continue.bin`
|
||||||
|
- To replace individual texture "CTN_T0000": `data_mods/example/d3/model/tex_l44fo_continue/CTN_T0000.png`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### XML files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`data/others/music_db.xml`
|
||||||
|
- To replace the entire file: `data_mods/example/others/music_db.xml`
|
||||||
|
- To append to the file: `data_mods/example/others/music_db.merged.xml`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Games with a `data2` folder (Beatstream/Nostalgia)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`data/graphic/information.ifs`
|
||||||
|
- It's the same as normal! `data_mods/example/graphic/information.ifs`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`data2/graphic/information.ifs`
|
||||||
|
- It needs an extra subfolder: `data_mods/example/data2/graphic/information.ifs`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
See [MOD_README.txt](data_mods/MOD_README.txt) for more details.
