Are you playing on a 1080p display?   For the SDVX games prior to  SDVX VI Exceed Gear, you can set the 720p option in spicecfg - this will make *most* of the window fit in portrait orientation on a 1080p display.  A little bit of the graphics will still be cut off since the vertical size of the window 1280 & you're displaying that window on a 1080p area, but it will be perfectly playable.

 

The 720p option doesn't work for Exceed Gear - to display that game in portrait mode on a landscape oriented display (without rotating the monitor), you'll want a 4K UHD display.

 

1440p. Setting 4k as a custom resolution in the NVIDIA control panel does display the whole thing, but it's not what im looking for. I'd prefer some external program that downscales the game window to 1440p, and runs in fullscreen mode (otherwise the GPU has to render other stuff, dropping my fps by about 20)

does anyone know how to solve connection error on kfc-2022101800 ?

       

here is my core setting

Specs:
    asphyxia-core v1.40d with sdvx plugin v6.7.2

Here's a trick you can try as well -  I've used this method without seeing any performance hits (fps drops) in the game.   I'm still using an older NVidia GTX 1070 btw.    This trick works because while SDVX in windowed mode doesn't allow the window to be resized  (I've tried several different "force window resize" programs),  it does allow the window to be *maximized*   (double-click the title bar).    

 

Obviously if you maximize the SDVX window in a 16:9 landscape screen area, you'll end up with a bizarre massively stretched out screen that looks all wrong.   So what you do is set a custom resolution in NVidia that actually has a 9:16 ratio in landscape mode.  This will provide a portrait aspect screen on your monitor with black bars on each side that still takes advantage of the full vertical resolution of your monitor  (1440p in your case).

 

So for your 1440p monitor,   you' set a custom resolution of   810 x 1440 .   Then run SDVX in windowed mode.   Once the window pops up,  double-click the title bar and the game window will fill up the entire screen area.  The aspect ratio will be very slightly "squished" because the title bar is still there, but this will be pretty much unnoticeable to human eyes.   You can tweak the horizontal resolution by reducing it by a few pixels if you want an "exact"  9:16 aspect ration in the gameplay screen.

 

I know this isn't a true  "fullscreen"  solution, but I find that this method works quite well & I haven't encountered perfromace issues or fps drops.    

 

I'll mess around & see if I can get it to run in full screen at a custom resolution & follow this post up if I find a way.   I've always just run SDVX in windowed mode up until know as I've never had any issues with it.

If you don't really care about the custom bgm, subbg, etc customizations, you can use this instead.

https://bayfiles.com/YaMep4E3y2/MonkeyBusiness_7z

It's a packed version of MonkeyBusiness by drmext, the port is default to 8000 and you launch parameters need to include the option -urlslash.
 

Launch string example for spicetools:

@Spice64 -sdvx -url http://127.0.0.1:8000/core -urlslash -sdvxdisablecams

Check my original post for 2022101800 update.

 

Aqua is only for JP region,so use JGA instead.

Nope. For whatever reason my scaling settings don't work, at all, and it keeps being stretched to full screen despite it being set to aspect ratio scaling. I also have scaling set to GPU instead of display so uhhhh

 

Okay so this is really weird.

1. Creating a custom resolution will cause it to stretch if height exceeds 1080

2. When it is 1080 or lower it doesn't stretch and displays perfectly fine... IF it's resolution test mode

3. If you try to set the resolution normally it stretches to a square

For those who are using a small, secondary monitor for the Valkyrie controls, what are you using? Are using the touch controls as well? Thanks!

[d4d4567]

I buy a new touch srceen to use the subscreen. But when I use it my main screen will turn to 60Hz and the movement get slow. Sound has not any problem.How to make the subscreen work?

When you run the game in windowed mode  (the  "-w" flag enabled in spicecfg) , it opens up in a standard window so there should  be a title bar at the very top of the window.

It's already in windowed mode though. Right before the startup screen i can drag the window and stuff because the title bar's still there, but after that it just disappears and goes back to its original position

Hmm, I can still see the title bar after startup.    I'm able to drag the window & maximize it as well.   See screenshot here of my desktop after running - you can see the title bar at the top of the game window:

Is there any update to 1031?

Weird. My best guess is that since the real cabs use Windows 10 they might've been using some method of hiding the titlebar that only works on w10, though i'm not really sure

i usually use keyboard shortcuts (i'm on win 11). you can use Windows Key + Shift + Left or Right arrow to move the window to a different monitor if needed, then use Windows Key + Up arrow to maximize it.

My gaming PC is actually dual boot with both Windows 7 and Windows 10 on it.   It looks the same for me regardless of which OS I run it from - I can see the title bar under Windows 10 as well when I run the game in windowed mode.

[CommunistSky]

The crash on the title screen has to be related to the current Asphyxia plugin in some way

 

Last night I tried booting the game with -ea instead of the normal -url settings, and didnt crash on the title screen

Hey Guys, I'm using the 0831 from nyaa and updated it to 0712 by the KFC-2021051800 to 2022071200 pack.
I can use my card data and get into game mode. Then...THERE IS NO SONG AVAILABLE???
I've patched the "unlock all songs"
and there was got "music" file inside the "data" file
But why it can't load any of it???

soundvoltex.dll

If you know the reason or solution, please reply. Thx

Any way to make the game run in portrait while keeping the screen landscape? idk how to explain properly so heres an image of what im trying to get

I use Arccabview ( http://www.emuline.org/topic/2598-arccabview-display-your-arcade-games-just-as-you-want/ )for this with my custom bezels working great for all sdvx versions ❤️ I have an ahk to start asphyxia - spice - arccabview to run directly from LaunchBox (or whatever front-end)

 

It looks like this and you could stretch it as far or narrow as you want as it's free scale on both X and Y. Should be pretty straight forward looking into a game setup like Raiden III which also needs rotated screen but I try to help of needed

Hello. Can I ask you, please, for detailed instructions? I started the program, selected spice64.exe and then start startgame.bat. After that, I selected the settings and as a result there was an error with ArcCabView. Probably, I need the correct game launch parameters or program settings... And I need a LaunchBox for everything? Honestly, I'm not familiar with this program much. What is it for? ;-;

You can test with my arccabview files from mys sdvx booth folder here, should boot right into it if you run "ArcCabView_Launcher.exe"

Holy shit this looks amazing, do you have an Exceed Gear setup you could share so I could try this?

[saika]

Still not fortunate enough to run the game with Spicex64 version = 20221021 or other versions.

Crashes like others on the startup (or before the result screen if skipped by inserting card)

exg.ts, ea3 config(JGA) and sdvx.dll all modified and attached. Log also attached.
 

Game runs normally with -ea on so I suspect there's something wrong with my asphyxia and/or sdvx plugin.

 

Please help. Ty.

Here's all the files for Sound Voltex Exeeded Gear, the only folder not included is the data folder,

Not all files is needed but the ArcCab files but I guess this was the easiest way, start with SDVXVI.ahk
https://mega.nz/file/908RwILB#Gx4xge-YknfAJD6x3XVixvQmL69fmnsXPDLyMPO78qs

Anyone know where the asphyxia config files is stored? Reinstalled my windows recently and it completely blanked my settings. would be good to store it locally or at least have the chance to take a backup of it.

I believe they're stored in the plugin files themselves, and thanks for the Exceed Gear stuff!

I extracted the Arcview files to the game folder and after launching SDVXVI.ahk, an error still appears... oh. In addition, the program writes that it does not detect the game. I click Ok and then error

You need to have the game running just by it self without the ArcCabVIew just using the asphyxia + spice64.exe, does that work?

You really have all my files except the data folder so should be the same as on my machine. the only I can think about is settings in the spicecfg.exe as it seems to be globally and stored elsewhere

 

the only thing I added from default is the 3d option in the "settings" box http://localhost:8083 as this is the url for asphyxia
