That is right. You need special graphics files for Korea and Asia regions, which is not included in the base Japanese region

follow two-torial patch guide and turn on "force ldj" patch if you want to use LDJ instead of TDJ.

"did something change" yes you updated the game, and now the plugin is outdated and doesn't support your version. Wait for someone to update the plugin (good luck)

probably bad data, there is no crash

There's an entire guide to make bemani data run better. 99.9999% of issues can be fixed by following this. https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/wiki/PC-optimization

For grey cards you convert using things like https://kawashi.ro/eacard/ or https://card.bsnk.me/ for others but the easiest way is to just read the card with your phone's NFC app (you can literally just use spicecompanion if you want) but why would you need any of this, your physical card number is just a number, it doesn't mean anything in private servers, you can just generate a new number, especially if you don't have a reader

not how any of this works lol, game data is not stored on the card, and if you just need the card number it's literally written on the back of the card, you don't need a reader for it

you need other parts of the archive, but they have been taken down from the link.

Don't think spicetools ever fully supported 2014 version. 2012 works, but haven't seen 2014 work.

All the details are in your screenshot. If you need even more details, then read https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/wiki/DLL-Dependencies

launch spicecfg.exe and set your keys.

Video problem is hopefully fixed in the update - https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/releases/tag/24-12-31

I realized you are just talking about the opening movie, I assume the game is working fine. I see the problem too, so I'm looking into a fix for this, will let you know when this gets fixed in spice2x. The error you are seeing is from Unity engine, an unrelated change in spice2x caused this to break around June. https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/issues/250
