I'm really sorry for any confusion, what I'm trying to do is enable an HD wallpaper in the DDR A3 GOLD version (sorry for any confusion when I mention A3 + World) so what happens is that when I want to patch the arkmdsp3.dll file of the May 22, 2024 version on the WEB patcher the patch does not work. So I'm looking for a patched arkmdsp3.dll for DDR A3 GOLD version 2024052200

the GOLD patch you're looking for is on gamemdx.dll, not arkmdxp3.dll.

 

here is the file in question:

gamemdx.dll

Thank you @piotr25691 for your help!  I do have another question for you, I have completely configured Dance Dance Revolution WORLD and when I try to update the game with the latest known version (the one from OCTOBER 15, 2024 - MDX-2024101500) all my songs disappear from the game. When I updated to MDX-2024091000 I still have all the songs that are available. Is this a known problem? And if so, is there a fix for it?

Thank you again for the gamemdx.dll file, I am going to test this out soon!

[kkmedia]

So I tested out the gamemdx.dll file and the game does not start anymore:

 

When I go to the patcher site - https://getze56901.github.io/patcher/ddra3.html this is what I see:

 

 

I believe this is what I am looking for, so when I tried that patch, it still does not enable the HD Wallpaper.

 

When I tried getting the gamemdx.dll file from this site, I came across this option it was asking:

 

Do you know which option I should choose or does this option not have anything to do with the HD Wallpaper?  I am really sorry for all of the questions, I do really appreciate any assistance you have provided to this point!

The patcher indicates a mismatch on that file. Please restore the original arkmdxp3.dll file to prevent any crashes.

 

The forced theme is for forcing DDR SELECTION theme on every song. It doesn't matter here.

When using DDR WORLD October data you need a specific e-AMUSEMENT server as they have changed the game to show only like 5 songs if you're not using the correct server. I can certainly provide my Asphyxia plugin that is known to work with it.

Thank you! I hate bothering you, but I really appreciate all of the help you have given!  I will try out your plugin!  Thanks again!

I think the video file ddra3_bg_gold_hd.m2v is badly encoded and that is why the wallpaper is not displayed. I had a friend check the file for me and they mentioned "even if I encode it the total flow rate returns to zero so when the game starts to select the songs it crashes because it is not the right flow rate", he also said that the ddra3_bg_gold_hd.m2v file is not a real .m2v, it is really a .mp4 file and the extension was changed to .m2v.

So I think the problem might actually be the video file.

Here are the server files in question.

These are known to allow you to see every song in the game.

Thank you @piotr25691! I really appreciate this!

 

So I was able to create the Card, create a PIN but now all of the music is not showing on the MDX-001_2024101500 update.

 

I see that other people downloaded your file, for those that grabbed this file, did you have any success with seeing all of the music on the MDX-001_2024101500 update?

[kkmedia]

Does anybody have the original ddra3_bg_gold_hd.m2v file for DDR A3?  I have this feeling that there might be a problem with the current file that I am using, the one that @piotr25691 provided earlier seems to not be an original M2V file, I could be wrong but I would like to compare the original file with the one I am currently using in DDR A3.  Thank you!

I did. I had ran the same dump and server and saw every song in the game.

We don't, since the dumps of A3 we have are MDX-001 and we're looking for MDX-003 to get the Gold Cab background. However I can remux the video stream to MPEG-2 for HD and forced 480p MPEG-2 for SD

That did not work 😞  Thank you for sharing the file, I think this might be a losing cause, especially since you said we are looking for the MDX-003 Dump files.

Thank you for sharing the connection files to ASPHYXIA for Dance Dance revolution WORLD (It works when I launch the game I am well connected ONLINE) I configured spicecfg.exe and in the OPTION tab in the EA Service URL line I entered http://localhost:8083/ - The game connects online correctly, did I miss a step?

The latest update has changed the BGA back to full screen

Did not work? Looks like a bad dump, try redownloading.

Konami realized DDR WORLD was so goofy they now revert all the weird crap back

Where?

 

I'm also working on course mode, in a private development branch (will be pushed once it's working correctly)

 

Current bugs:

- Minor Lua errors in the background code

- Course wheel receives off command twice

- EX Score at end of stage is wrong

[NoctsRanun]

Merry Christmas everyone! 

 

 

I hope 2024112700 to 2024122300 will be here in no time~

Hi, I downloaded the latest version from GitHub, but the speed calculation does not appear in options and the score and demo are still bugged.
