+CHUNITHM NEW PLUS
+
+
+
Please make sure you downloaded your data from an appropriate source.
This guide is unable to troubleshoot any problems related to bad or poorly managed data.
+
+
If you're coming from a previous version of CHUNITHM
+
You'll want to create a new folder for the game and start from scratch.
+CHUNITHM DOES NOT like being extracted over old data!
+
+Preparing data
+
+
There are currently issues with running game data in the E:\ or Y:\ drive.
Please extract the data into other drives.
+
+
After downloading and extracting your data, we need to make sure your files
+aren't set to Read-only.
+
+- Right click the folder containing your data, then click on
Properties.
+- In the
General tab go down to Attributes, untick Read-only and click Apply.
+- A popup will appear, select
Apply changes to this folder, subfolder and files
+and press OK.
+- Finally, click
OK again to exit out of properties.
+
+
You should end up with a file structure as follows.
+
+
Create another empty folder named AppData next to them. It should now look like below.
+
+
The App folder should have a file structure as follows.
+
+
+If your data doesn't look like this
+If your data looks like the third image:
+
+- Create an
App folder and move all files and folders from the image inside of it.
+- Create empty folders named
amfs, Option and AppData next to the App folder.
+
+If extra files are present next to your folders, such as executables, scripts, etc..
+remove them. This also means your data was tampered with and we strongly recommend
+getting new data from somewhere else.
+
+Updating the base game
+
+
Extract your patch's files to your existing data in a way that matches its
+file structure. Agree to overwrite files if necessary.
+
Installing option data
+
+
CHUNITHM content updates are distributed through option folders instead of patching
+the base game. They are named A???, with each ? being a number. Custom options
+distributed by the community might use letters instead, to distinguish them from
+official ones.
+
Extract any options you've downloaded into the Option folder. You should end up with
+a file structure as follows. Do not be worried if you have fewer or more option folders.
+
+
Installing ICFs
+
+
Install Configuration Files (ICFs) tell the game what version it is.
+Without this your game cannot go online!
+
If your amfs folder already has a file named ICF1, skip this step.
+
Otherwise, obtain copies of ICF1 for your game version and place it in
+the amfs folder. If it is named something else, rename it to exactly
+ICF1 without any file extensions.
+
+
Showing file extensions
+
By default, file extensions on Windows are hidden. Enable them by navigating to
+the View tab in File Explorer and select File name extensions.
+
Installing unprotected executables
+
+
CHUNITHM executables are protected and will not run on a regular computer.
+
Obtained unprotected (also called "unpacked" or "decrypted" by the community)
+copies of chusanApp.exe and amdaemon.exe for your game version. If these weren't
+provided with your data, join the Discord
+for assistance.
+
Copy chusanApp.exe and amdaemon.exe to the bin folder of your game data. Agree
+to overwrite when asked.
+
+Patching the game
+
+
Go through the Web Patching guide to learn how to use a web patcher.
+
There are many patches for CHUNITHM.
+
We will only bring up the ones we think could be genuinely useful.
+
+
As a general rule of thumb, if you're not sure what a patch does or you're not absolutely certain you need it, leave it alone, regardless of recommendations below.
+
+
+
+| Patch |
+Recommendation |
+Description |
+
+
+
+
+| Force shared audio mode |
+Either |
+Force the game to use shared mode audio output, letting you listen to other audio sources while the game is running at the cost of audio latency. |
+
+
+| Force 2 channel audio output |
+Either |
+Try enabling this patch if you don't get audio output at all. |
+
+
+| Disable song select timer |
+Either |
+Disables the song select timer. |
+
+
+| No encryption |
+ON |
+Disable encrypting network requests. Required if you plan to run a local server. |
+
+
+| No TLS |
+ON |
+Disable checking if the server is HTTPS or not. Required if you plan to run a local server. |
+
+
+| Bypass 1080p monitor check |
+Either |
+Disable checking if the monitor is 1080p when enabling 120FPS. Enable if you cannot set your monitor to 1080p. |
+
+
+| Bypass 120Hz monitor check |
+Either |
+Disable checking if the monitor is exactly 120Hz when enabling 120FPS. Enable if you cannot set your monitor to 120Hz. |
+
+
+

+
+
+- Head over to segatools releases
+and download
segatools.zip. Do not download the source code.
+- Extracting the archive should give you a few more zip files. Find
chusan.zip
+and extract it to the App\bin folder in your game data.
+
+
You should now have a few more files inside the folder, as highlighted:
+
+
+
+
+
Since there is no graphical configuration tool for segatools, you will have to edit the
+configuration file by hand. It is found in App\bin\segatools.ini.
+
It is recommended that you follow along using a text editor with syntax highlighting such as Notepad++.
+
Each following sub-section will correspond to a section in segatools.ini. If any
+section is not mentioned, you can skip them.
+
+
Warning
+
If a key already exists in the section, delete everything after = and replace it with your
+setting. Do not add another key.
+
[gpio]
+dipsw2=1
+dipsw2=1 ; WRONG!
+
+
[vfs]
+
+
If you've been matching the file structure as described in the Preparing data
+section, you can fill in this section with the values below:
+
[vfs]
+amfs=../../amfs
+option=../../Option
+appdata=../../AppData
+
+
[gpio]
+
+
+- If you have a 120Hz monitor, set
dipsw2 and dipsw3 to 0:
+
+
[gpio]
+dipsw2=0
+dipsw3=0
+
+
+- If you have a 60Hz monitor, set
dipsw2 and dipsw3 to 1:
+
+
[gpio]
+dipsw2=1
+dipsw3=1
+
+
[gfx]
+
+
+- Set
windowed to 0 to run in fullscreen mode and 1 to run in windowed mode.
+- If you have multiple monitors and you're running in fullscreen mode (
windowed=0),
+set monitor to the index of the monitor you want to run the game on.
+
+
+Getting the monitor index
+Navigate to Windows display settings. Each monitor should be assigned a number.
+The monitor index is that number minus one. For example, monitor 2 means monitor index 1.
+
+
+Connecting to a network
+
+
Please choose one of the two solutions, not both!
+
+Remote (Online Network)
+Head to the [dns] section inside segatools.ini. Set default to the address
+provided by your network. Do not add http:// or https:// to the address!
+[dns]
+default=network.example
+
Then, head to the [keychip] section and set id to the keychip ID provided by your network:
+[keychip]
+id=A69E-XXXXXXXXXXX
+
Finally, you need a card number. Create a file named aime.txt inside App\bin\DEVICE and type in
+your 20-digit access code if you already have one, or make one up if you don't. If you're making one
+up, the access code MUST NOT start with a 3.
+
+
+
+Local (ARTEMiS/AquaDX)
+Both of these options require non-trivial setup. Refer to the official guides for ARTEMiS
+and AquaDX
+to set up a local server.
+
+
+Pre-launch requirements
+
+
These steps are required, otherwise your game won't run.
