Use DemulShooter, it fixes that issue, as far as I can tell.

Honestly it's more about space and the ability to switch things up when I want to. Like, the controller + the cabinet panels will cost almost as much as a cab when fully built (with the 2 32inch screens and all)... but when I'm tired of Nostalgia, I can easily sell the modded controller. A cab... not so easy to get rid of. Then I can put something else in the place of where the controller was sitting... so ya, at least this way you get flexibility. Next, I need to find a IIDX control panel. I've seen a few, but they always end up being too expensive. hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on one this summer, otherwise I'll just get a RED from GAMO2. Same price, half the effort to put together.

Ya, I found an extracted keyboard arcade panel on yahoo auctions. I found info on how to use it on a PC, so I figured I'd give it a shot. As for the setup, yup, will do. I need to figure out what I want to do with my current setup, as I currently have Chunithm and IIDX already running on the spot I plan on playing Nostalgia on. Might try to merge all 3 into 1 setup with the controllers needing to switch when I want to play a specific game... Or move IIDX to another PC... I don't know yet. Too many games, too many controllers.

Hey is it normal this is only loading in 720 resolution? Any way to get this to boot in HD mode? Alright, so I'm not sure why this happened, but on one of my screens, the game launches in 720p, but on my good screen it will launch in 1080p. Another cool thing I noticed is if you try to launch this game with a touch screen as a primary or secondary monitor, the mouse will not work anymore, and you will have to use to touch screen... so don't use your Lightning mode touchscreen as your secondary monitor for this game. Also, the cabinet uses 2 32inch screens, so if you activate 2 screens when booting the game, the game will detect this, and use your primary monitor as the cabinet's primary monitor, and your secondary will be used as the top marquee screen of the cabinet. This is cool if you want to build your own cab (which I am considering getting a second 32inch for) from scratch. Oh, and the game will automatically crash (without failing the Sound test, it just straight up crashes) if you use 7.1 channels for audio. So make sure to use 2 channels on your speakers before launching, otherwise it will not work. Those are all the issues I've encountered and fixed for this game. Everything seems to be running smoothly now. Just waiting for my Arcade Panel to arrive from Japan to hook it up to my Arduino for the full arcade experience (minus the 32inch touch screen... that's way too expensive)!

HEre, try this: <network> <services>http://localhost:8083</services> <sz_xrpc_buf __type="u32">102400</sz_xrpc_buf> <ssl __type="bool">1</ssl> </network> and also, really make sure the numbers and letters in the card are ok. For example, try this: E0040120DF0D87BC

Hey, make sure your Game card ID (the numbers in the file) are in the right format. Like, this will crash the game if it's not done correctly. On more recent versions of SpiceTools, you can have it generate the ID for you. Make sure you set the keypad to the keypad you plan on using (you need a keypad, and make sure when you press a button, you can see an input in the test field in ST). Finally, press + on the keypad when the game asks you for a card. For scores, you will need a server (for example, Asphyxia), and you need to put in the Asphyxia server number in the config file... like, this is basic dump stuff (All Bemani games work this way) Is this your first one?

I use these Amazon pedals: https://www.amazon.ca/iKKEGOL-Control-Customized-keyboard-Multimedia/dp/B07553KW32/ref=sr_1_5?crid=21M6A6THC527N&dchild=1&keywords=usb+foot+pedal&qid=1610650304&sprefix=usb+foot%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-5 And no... The only thing I did was map "o" and "T" to up and down on my Sinden, and "y" and "t" to my pedals. Basically I use this pedal ONLY for TC5. I have another pedal I use for PS2 TC games, as those require mouse buttons to be pressed (as opposed to keyboard buttons) to work with PCSX2... So ya. Pretty simple setup. Just a lot of hardware to play everything.

Any suggestions for a MIDI keyboard with keys that are soft enough to be close to arcade?

Ya it works perfectly on the Sinden. It also has enough buttons to basically do everything on the gun without a script. I use 2 pedals + a Sinden, and it's a great experience, tbh.

Try spicetools instead of btools. Fixed this for me.

Hey try using BemaniTools instead. Fixed it for me.

Just some info to add to the FAQ: 1) I am currently running the game on an Extreme K-cab with J-PAC + LumenAR for lights. I have had a LOT of trouble running the game past initial checks screen with Spice tools. Switching to Bemani Tools worked had the game running in a few seconds. So if ever you come across issues when the game will boot, but crash after all checks are OK, try switching to Bemani Tools. For BTools, just extract the DDR 16 (32bit) and all the dlls that come with it in your contents folder. Run DDR 16 bat file to launch the game (Oh and make sure to configure with Btools configuration bat file, not SpiceCFG... just in case) 2) For LumenAR to work properly, you will need AT LEAST BemaniTools 5.3+ Older versions do not have the right lights to set up, and the lights will either do the wrong thing or not work at all in-game. Still having audio crackling issues, and I've tested a few outputs on my on-board sound card, as well changing channels and bit rate... Not sure what's causing it, but I'll investigate further. It's weird though, it won't crackle during songs, just after a song ends, and during the attract mode tutorial... anyways. Thanks topet2k12001 for all the work he's put into this thread.

Hey Did you get the lights to work using your Minimaid on A20 using BemaniTools? Lights work PERFECTLY on SpiceTools, but I was never able to get them to work properly with Btools... Let me know what your experience was/is like for that. Thanks!

hey, here is my log file... maybe this can help? Thanks... log.txt

Ya, right now nothing seems to be working. Still getting the 2600 error even with your XML. I green lit all the Butterfly files with windows defender... I'm really not sure what's going on right now.

Still getting errors. Could you send me your XML file so I can see if I broke it somehow? Thanks! Really not sure what's not working here, as I've gotten DDR A to run in the past on another PC...

So my Butterfly issue was solved by adding an Exception to Windows Defender. Basically you need to Exclude the .exe, not the folder. And it should work. However I now get a 5-2600-0000 network error, but that's typically because the EA-config file is not ok... gonna check out why that is happening.

Ya also, seems like windows is flagging the .exe as a virus, so it might also be stopping it from running. Gonna have to test put a few possibilities here. Man, getting my new pad sensors on Monday, so I'm super pumped to get everything running by then! Hehe got a converted Extreme cab that wants to run this :D

Butterfly (1.3.1) seems to be crashing. I run the .exe, it initializes, but then it writes stuff real fast and closes automatically. I have Java 8 (271) installed... not sure what's going on :/

Why would you play this over Rootage at this point?

Ya I'll take it too, please!

Can you guys try lowering sensitivity via Joy2Key for Aimtraks? Can that be done?

HOLY SHIT! Thank you SOOOO much for this! I love the Time Crisis series, and I NEVER thought I'd be able to play any of the newer ones. Gonna have to get my Aimtraks from storage (as we're moving soon) to try this out!

This is related to your sound card. You need to use your on-board sound card and makes sure you are using the right bit rate and frequency. Otherwise you will get weird issues like this. For example, I use 2 channel, 16 bit, 48000 Hz. This works with SDVX. Play around with these and different audio sources (Set the source you want to test to default audio device). Make sure you close the game completely before testing a new configuration. But ya, use the one mentioned and you should be ok.

Make sure you are using the right format for your card number (the text within the card .txt file) Mine is 11AA22BB33CC55HH , for example. I've had issues with this in the past. Give it a shot.
