DDRMarvel

Kudos to all the FAQ and guide given to set this up! I followed all steps from step 1 to step done, but in the end, just couldn't get it to work on a 573 cab with minimaid. Couldn't get it to boot with Spicetools. Either it would fail to load, or screen would start clicking like crazy (doesn't support resolution above 640x480). I enabled the option to keep it at 4:3 resolution, but didn't seem to matter. Tried adding -o in the bat file, still didn't fix that issue. What I ended up having to do was do the alternate recommended step in a later post that said to try using Bemani Tools and that did the trick. Booted right up without issue. Since I wasn't using Spicetools, I ended up using BemaniPatcher to apply the desired mods (fast/slow, darkest background (didn't see one for removing the note measurement lines?) etc.), worked like a charm. All seems stable! Is it just me, or do some of the songs sound ever so slightly lower in pitch? Just an observation. Thanks again!

Alright, I'll dig around. I did try to follow the directions to apply the patch on the fly with spicetools, but it said "no patch available". Maybe my build isn't a clean install of February's 2020020300 build? So far I'm digging through the forums and all I see are mentions of February's build using data to overwrite the previous build instead of a full fresh install. And then the fan made version 2020040300. If anyone has a link, feel free to leave it for the fresh February build. My version prior to trying to use DDR P.U.S.S.I.E. was working fine, just being a pain to have to click through the 9 unlock songs. Otherwise, I had the settings I wanted (from guessing the locations of the hex values for fast/slow and darkest background). I followed where to look originally, but those values weren't in that location. And in my attempts to change the nearest location, it either crashed the game upon load, or didn't get the end result. So I kept trying different locations until it worked. Ultimately now just trying to get fast/slow , darkest background, maybe even remove the measure lines. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. I haven't mucked around with butterfly yet. Need to find the link to read up on how to do that. I'll look around, but again if anyone has the link, feel free to share. Thanks again.

Thank you very much for the clarification. And yeah, I noticed the S.L.U.T. is the pack, the P.U.S.S.I.E. the execution. I also found that after running the execution, I could just run spice.exe to run the game without having to run P.U.S.S.I.E. again and again. Is this accurate? Forgot to mention that initially, when trying to run In SD mode, the resolution was causing the CRT to freak out and not display correctly. Even when I made sure I was choosing option 3 which was Blue A20 SD mode according to the options available. Not sure what that was about. You mention the options of fast/slow, darkest background are available I'm butterfly or spicetools. Would someone be willing to share how to go about executing these mods in either program just in case? Screenshots preferred . I'll look around too when I get a chance. Also saw the directions regarding paseli. I always play either on free play or event mode (mainly event mode) since I play privately at home. Is this causing me to miss out on anything in Blue A20 that would be available with normal play and paseli? Thanks again.

Thank you to all parties involved for releasing the user friendly executable! (DDR S.L.U.T.). Just had a couple questions: 1. I ran DDR A.S.S. for Blue A20, but didn't notice any change in song count from the 9/2019 build to this 2/2020 build. Are there any differences? Maybe I didn't run it at the right time? I copied the contents from contents folder to my contents folder, ran DDR A.S.S. then DDR S.L.U.T. 2. I got the game to work, despite getting an error saying "ddrio.dll was not found". Issue either corrected itself later, or I took one of the ddrios and removed the extra in the name to run that one. Just thought I'd make all aware in case they experience the same issue. 3. Now that the game is running on blue A20, I'm no longer needing to click through the 9 unlocks like one of the previous builds (major plus and time saver). Now however, I want to enable darkest filter and fast/slow timing. What needs to be done to get those to work given the current build? Perhaps this could be something to implement in the script for DDR S.L.U.T. for future releases? I saw somewhere buried In the previous posts what hex values to change, but when searching for that line and hex value, they're not located there. Example if the line is 7a80b with value 75 00 8B, value 75 00 8B isn't located at 7a80b. Need to know either A. Where are the locations and hex values needed to enable fast/slow and darkest filter. Or B. Is there a script/program or something that can be ran like in Butterfly to change these settings? After running DDR S.L.U.T., Im now just running spice.exe, blue A20 theme, SD, fullscreen on Windows XP. Some of this info may not be needed, but rather provide more instead of not enough info. Thanks in advance, And thanks again for the user friendly build!
