Hey Guys I am using this dump right here and cant get it to work https://pixeldrain.com/u/4yxDbTd7 there is no bin folder at all..dont know where to bemani files go to.. doesn't boot at all... do I need to move files??

Thx for the clear instructions...just to be clear before I go insane over this....This game needs an active internet connection to even boot??? I have no problems booting up the game it is just that once i turn off my internet the game wont get past the e-pass emulation checks. I did not try the local host stuff yet.... the other problem that I am having is the e-pass card itself.. I can not scan the card at all.... I press the button, the card being scanned message show sup but then the game goes back to the start menu right away...any settings I am missing?? Do I need to apply that locale emulation stuff to japanese?? some characters in the test menu are not displayed properly.....

I am new to all of this so bear with me.. Decided to give this series a go and started from scratch with the very first game. I am playing the vanilla version without any updates and unlocks Made a card, progressed to lv.3 and decided to check out Chunithm Plus. Anyway to carry over my save to this new version? Don't feel like starting from scratch. I was told to move all the contents from DATA but that didnt work. Is it even possible??

anyway to play this game offline???

Alright, Here is how I got this game to work: I followed the steps shown in this thread: -Download and install XAMPP before you start I am reposting the same steps provided by konradg minus the ip stuff asd well as some adjustments along the way.. Here we are going to make a change: -local ip address: 127.0.0.1 is what we will be using. This ensures that it will work on any pc offline and you don't have to look for your own ip - In the file, change the "server:address" and "server:keepalive" values to the local IP address 127.0.0.1 (don't remove the quotes). You can further customize the file if you want - it is pretty self-explanatory. - Then, go to the website https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html. Download and install XAMPP. After installation, run XAMPP and make sure both "Apache" and "MySQL" are running. - Open a browser window and go to "http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin" and click the Databases tab. In the Database Name field, type bemani and click Create. (all lower case letters) - Click on the bemani database on the panel on the right side (again, ignoring all errors). - Download the file: https://konradgolinski.pl/bemani.sql. Make sure the bemani database is selected. Click on the Import tab, and select the downloaded file. Click "Go". - new download link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/toggsd6qgsouao7/eamuserver.zip/file - If you see any errors, click Ignore All on the bottom of the page and in the popup window. - You can now run the file "run.bat" from where you extracted the server. - In Notepad, open the file prop/ea3-config.xml of your game and change <services __type="str">[there should be something here]</services> to <services __type="str">http://127.0.0.1:1337/</services> - create a text file and rename it to card0 and place it in the main folder of the game --(contents/card0.txt)-- -open spicecfg.exe and go to the cards tab, hit card number generate - You don't need to change any settings in spiceconfig and you also don't need to enable ea emulation. Bind all necessary keys including the card key - Start XAMPP first, ensure both Apache and MySQL are running, followed by the server (run.bat) , then start the game (spice.exe) - this should work with both versions of the game but I only tested the 2011121 version You might need to change following line which is found in the game's main folder: <model type="str">ACP</model> to <model __type="str">I36</model> in the <soft> area in eamuse-config xml You can now run the game. Supported Games : - Bishi Bashi - Metal Gear Arcade - DanceDanceRevolution - Beatmania IIDX - Jubeat - Museca - Pop'n Music - Reflec Beat - Sound Voltex I have tested this with Metal Gear on my offline pc and it fully works. You are able to scan your card and customize your character. Don't forget to hit exit in the main menu or your progress won't be saved..

Figured out how to disable the card reader in Cobra.. In System 2X6, Namco wants u to hold down the service button and then press start in order to enter the test menu... the service button must be kept pressed the entire time. If u let go you are back in the main game.... in this case it's 0 and 3 together on the keyboard followed by start button..... Same applies to all the other games. Press left arrow for shooting. The shot is registered in the top right corner of the screen.

Cobra is up and running in English....how do I get past that card reader error?? Can't enter the service menu either.

Here you can find the other dongle https://archive.org/download/system2x6/Namco System 2X6/NM00021 Cobra - The Arcade/ Can you make a arcadedef for the English version please

I have been playing this game for over a year offline...it does work...like you said.. you cant save progress and mission unlocks reset after each reboot... I was really hoping for a offline/saving possibility...you can disable the e-pass in the test menu but then the game wont boot.. Konami surely must have had a plan back then for when all the servers would get shut down eventually.. Not having a plan B/offline save option seems weird to me.

The ost of this game is on fire... sooo good..

ahh this is online only... i am running a offline emulation pc so this is not good for me.. but glad it exists.. thx guys for all the work..

You need the CBR2 Version B dongle which is found in the link I posted a few pages back.... The region depends on the dongle, not the dump. You probably need to edit the arcadedef files accordingly.. I have not messed around with this emu yet so I can't provide much help.. I am sure a nice and helpful person here will provide one for us.

awesome.. i have that particular version up and running, can scan the epass but says server cant be reached... this is the farthest i have gotten in this game in terms of configuration. now i am gonna try your config files and see if i can get past that issue.

You can contact a guy named GURU.. He has been dumping games for MAME for ages.. He has the necessary equipment to get this done... He is based in Australia.....

contact 1dk3 for more info

so anyone figured out if it is possible to save locally without epass??

No idea why it shows that error.. I am using the latest spicetools and the game boots up just fine.. I installed various codec packs in order for my other games to work.. Maybe that helped with this game..i have no mic or headset plugged in.. and only one version is supported by spicetools.. cant remember which one..

Fruit Ninja HD PC version can be played with a light gun natively.. I know it is not the game u asked for but at least it is something..

I just donated to these fine gentlemen for their superb emulation efforts.. Please consider supporting them if u like what they are doing...

I would Hello...thx for all your hard work....Yes, I am interested in supporting this project financially...I am sure others would love to chip in as well....Please let us know how we can contribute...

Hey Very easy to get this game up and running..There are 2 dumps of this game and only one is supported by spicetools.. copy the spicetools content in the main directory of the game....launch with spice.exe...... the first time the game boots it requires you to get the calibration and sensors all configured in the test menu...you need to do this.. lots of stuff you can configure in this game...but you only need to do a few things.....set the d-pad, coin input, trigger and start.... the rest I never bothered with... I still don't know how you can save progress in this game...if any kind soul could help that would be great. use my old pixeldrain link and copy over the latest spicetools....it will work.... The Start button will turn on/off 3D

Namco System 2X6 complete rom set. Not sure if they need to be converted for Play. https://archive.org/details/system2x6

Hey..Thanks for keeping the 357 emulation alive.. You and your team seem to be the only ones to care about it. Sad to see you leaving but whatever you do, I wish you all the best. Can be hard sometimes in any community that ishoarding stuff... I used to be part of a group ( non arcade related ) that would get all kinds of rare and unreleased stuff and we too had to deal with people wanting things for free.. We paid money to get those things, and not to forget the time it took to build trust among members... but the community would still insist we share them for free..... So I totally understand why you can not share dumps.

Sadly not.. Sailor Zombie and Razing Storm are also not public but seeing progress made on these games here gives me confidence that those will surface soon.
