+Game Setup
+
+
You must obtain clean, unmodified and complete data to proceed with our guides
+
Corrupted or incomplete files will cause unpredictable issues we can't cover.
+TWO-TORIAL does not provide or distribute game data. Do not ask.
+
Preparing data
+
+
Ensure your game files are not marked as read-only:
+
+- Right click the directory containing your files
+- Click on
Properties
+- Under the
General tab, find Attributes and uncheck Read-only
+- Click
Apply
+- When prompted, select
Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files
+- Click
OK to confirm, then OK again to close Properties
+
+
The complete game data should be approximately 26 GB or larger.
+If your data is significantly smaller, you likely have an update archive instead of the full game data.
+
Here's what the expected data structure should look like:
+
📂yyyymmddrr (revision directory, y = year digit, m = month digit, d = day digit, r = revision digit)
+📂data
+📄sidcode.txt
+
+
+
+-
+
Download the latest Bemanitools release here
+
+-
+
Inside bemanitools-x.xx.zip locate iidx-14-to-17.zip
+
+-
+
Extract all files from iidx-14-to-17.zip to your revision directory (yyyymmddrr)
+
+
+
+
You may delete the gamestart-[14,15,17].bat and iidxhook-[14,15,17].conf files as you only need the ones for 16 (Empress)
+
+
+-
+
Download the latest Bemanitools supplements release here
+
+-
+
Inside bemanitools-supplement-vx.x.zip locate misc.zip
+
+-
+
Inside misc\d3d8to9\, extract d3d8.dll to your revision directory
+
+
+
This lets you configure graphics options inside iidxhook-xx.conf (xx being your game version number)
+
+
For background movies to work, you need to install and register a codec.
+
This also applies for IIDX 12 to 18, if you'd done it before you shouldn't need to again and may skip this step.
+
+-
+
Inside bemanitools-supplement-vx.x.zip locate and open iidx.zip
+
+-
+
Inside iidx\misc\, extract CLVSD.ax to any directory where the file can stay long term
+As an example we will be using your Documents folder, but it really could be anywhere you prefer.
+
+-
+
Open a command prompt as administrator, and run regsvr32 "CHOSEN_PATH\CLVSD.ax"
+For the Documents folder, the command would be regsvr32 "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Documents\CLVSD.ax"
+
+
+
You should get confirmation that the file has been registered successfully.
+
If an error occurs, you most likely didn't start your command prompt as administrator, or the location to CLVSD.ax was incorrect.
+
+
In the end, here's what the expected data structure should look like:
+
📄bm2dx.exe
+📄config.bat
+📄config.exe
+📄d3d8.dll
+📄d3dx9_24.dll
+📄dbghelp.dll
+📄eamio.dll
+📄gamestart-16.bat
+📄gcidata.nsd
+📄geninput.dll
+📄iidxhook3.dll
+📄iidxhook-16.conf
+📄iidxio.dll
+📄inject.exe
+📄libacio.dll
+📄libavs-win32.dll
+📄libavs-win32-ea3.dll
+📄vefx.txt
+📄vefxio.dll
+
+
+
Open the config.bat file. The following tabs correspond to the ones in the configuration window.
+
+
+
+
+
This tab is used to bind your keyboard and controller buttons
+
+
+
Double click on the right on a button that you wish to bind, then press the key you want associated with the action.
+
With your controller and/or keyboard plugged in, configure your keys for:
+
+- Maintenance:
Service, Test
+- P1 Game buttons:
1 to 7, Start, EFFECT, VEFX
+- P1 Keypad:
Keypad Insert Card
+
+
Only if you're playing using a keyboard:
+
+- Turntable:
TT+, TT- and optionally TT+/- which alternates between TT+ and TT- on each press.
+
+
+
+
Additional info
+
+- Use page navigation at the bottom to bind multiple buttons to the same input
+- Check Bind Many to bind multiple controls in sequence
+- Click Edit after binding for advanced options (invert, MIDI sensitivity, etc.)
+
+
+
+
+
+
This tab allows you to configure controller lights to sync with the game
+
Not all controllers support this, but it does not affect gameplay and is completely optional.
+
+
+
+- In
Device, pick your controller
+- In
Game Light, select the corresponding button that will be used for that light
+- Repeat for your other lights
+
+
+
+
+
+
This tab is used to bind analog controls like the turntable
+
+
+
Ignore this tab if you play with a keyboard
+
+
+
Bind your controller's turntable
+
With a controller rather than binding buttons to TT+ and TT-, you need to:
+
+- Head to the
Analogs tab at the top
+- In
Device, pick your controller
+- In
Control, pick whichever one corresponds to the turntable
+- Turn your turntable ensuring that the preview turns along with it
+- Click
OK, leaving the rest of the settings alone
+
+
+
+
+
+
This tab lets you configure which cards are used to save your game profile to
+
+
+
If you haven't generated a card number before, you can grab one from here
+
+
+
Now we will set up our PIN pad and card.
+
+- Click on
Keyboard device for whichever player's card reader you want to use
+- You may or may not have more than one option. To figure out which one is your actual keyboard, select a device inside that list and press a button on the numpad
+- Once you have found your correct device, the
Keypad status will change (the number and location of the number does not matter, it only matters that it changed)
+- Create a
.txt file in a location that is easily accessible, and name it however you like
+- Inside the file, paste in your card number. Example:
E0045812F8AFB2DE
+- Point to the file you created by clicking
Browse... and selecting it
+
+
+
+
If you don't have a numpad, tick Use top keyboard row for PIN pad input. This will also change the Card In button to Backspace
+
+
+
+
Connecting to a network
+
+
Pick one or the other, not both!
+
+Option 1: Remote (Online Network)
+Remote networks typically require an invitation to join.
+You'll need to connect with members of the community who can provide you with an invite.
+Your network should provide you with the necessary information to proceed:
+
+-
+
Open iidxhook-xx.conf (xx being your game version) with a text editor
+
+-
+
In the line eamuse.server=localhost:80, replace localhost:80 with your provided network url
+
+-
+
In the lines eamuse.pcbid=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and eamuse.eamid=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, replace the part after = with your provided PCBID
+
+-
+
Example:
+
# URL (e.g. http://my.eamuse.server:80/whatever) or IPV4 (e.g. 127.0.0.1:80) of the target eamuse server. The port is optional but defaults to 80.
+eamuse.server=http://be.ma.ni/
+
+# PCBID
+eamuse.pcbid=ABMYPRECIOUSPCBIDCDE
+
+# EAMID
+eamuse.eamid=ABMYPRECIOUSPCBIDCDE
+
+
+
+
+Option 2: Local e-amuse Emulator (Asphyxia)
+For instructions on setting up Asphyxia, please refer to our Asphyxia setup guide.
+After Asphyxia is setup with the proper plugin for your game:
+
+-
+
Open iidxhook-xx.conf (xx being your game version) with a text editor
+
+-
+
In the line eamuse.server=localhost:80, replace localhost:80 to point to your asphyxia server, typically localhost:8083
+
+-
+
Example:
+
# URL (e.g. http://my.eamuse.server:80/whatever) or IPV4 (e.g. 127.0.0.1:80) of the target eamuse server. The port is optional but defaults to 80.
+eamuse.server=localhost:8083
+
+
+
+Configuring graphics
+
+
+
gfx.framed=false # Only matters if windowed. False for borderless, True for decorations (title bar, etc..)
+gfx.frame_rate_limit=0.0 # Set this to 59.95
+gfx.windowed=false # False for fullscreen, True for windowed
+gfx.window_width=0 # Set to your desired game width (recommended: monitor width)
+gfx.window_height=0 # Set to your desired game height (recommended: monitor height)
+gfx.scale_back_buffer_width=0 # Set to your desired game width (recommended: monitor width)
+gfx.scale_back_buffer_height=0 # Set to your desired game height (recommended: monitor height)
+gfx.scale_back_buffer_filter=none # Set to point or linear (pick one from examples below)
+
+
Here are visual examples of the two filter options:
+
+point (sharp, pixel perfect)
+
+
+
+linear (less sharp, not pixel perfect)
+
+
+
Before playing
+
+
A few things to remember before each play session

+
+
Press your Test key to initialize the backup data, a message will pop up stating it's been initialized.
+
+
If right here you get USB I/O ERROR ERROR(FM TRNS-OUT) or USB I/O ERROR ERROR(FM-DL TIMEOUT) instead of the BACKUP DATA ERROR, reboot the game and it should get fixed.
+
+
Next, you'll get another error.
+
+
Press your Test key again and let the game run for a bit until the monitor check is complete.
