I want to add a song how do you do it?

 

thank you for answer.

Hi, I have a problem with Exchain. Sometimes, when I play a song, after a few secs, it's totally out of sync. What I do is I restart and then it comes "in-sync" again. Then after a few songs, it starts to go out of sync again. Does it have like a stable 60FPS settings somewhere in the latest spicetools? Thanks.

this is a known problem with gitadora data in general and it seems to be related to ASUS motherboards. try switching to the Microsoft HD Audio Class driver. sometimes this fix works, sometimes it doesnt.

i dont know how to add a song to the game, but if you are trying to add custom songs and things, i would recommend trying dtxmania for that. there is an omnimix floating around, but i do not think it is compatible with exchain. correct me if i am wrong.

try the audio driver switch anyway. its just that ive seen this problem happen on more asus boards than other boards. if it doesnt fix it, im really sorry and i cant help you. it is likely tied to computer incompatibility. if i had a spare computer i would definitely try different things out to see what is wrong.

you mentioned you had it working and then you messed with the card name. try deleting the asphyxia folders and reinstalling them, it may be an asphyxia issue. you will lose any progress you had, however

[Nickzor]

Yep thanks a lot! That has solved the issue :D! I'm not going to even try and change the card name again lol, i'll just leave it this time

there are two settings in the game 

to run them you have to run the (.bat ) 

1. Drummania.bat  to run drum mania game 
2. Guitar Freaks.bat to run guitar freaks game

to run both enter 2 guitars and a drum or hook 1 guitar  1 drum set and run Guitar Freaks.bat

 

you want to play Drummania only  so run Drummania.bat only 

 

 

 because you are running Guitar Freaks.bat or starting spice64.exe 

 

spice64.exe run it with .bat file 

 

(( this is text file (.txt) converted to windows cmd))) 

right click on the Drummania.bat select edit and you will see its a text

you can change the extension of the .bat to .txt by changing it 

 

you think its a virus !!!!!! 

 

 

that why we tell newbies to read the FORNT PAGE

[bobthebuilder69]

So guys, I have every single commercially available XG GuitarFreaks controller.

 

Constraints:

All guitars will be tested on either GITADORA Konasute (EAC, cloud, etc), the official home version of the game, or DTX Mania, the most popular emulator for the game. 

Yes, I have access to a cab, but for the sake of home play only, I will be talking about home controllers only, though I will be comparing against cab conditions.

It should be noted that I am bronze-grade and therefore cannot speak for any quirks or features that matter to gameplay above my current skill grade. 

 

Option 1: Cab guitar

With every review, you need a referee to stick to the rules. Of course, we are going to compare controllers to the guitars that are on the machine. 

Purchase

It was very hard to get my hands on these. These are not commercially available and you can only hope that these show up on the secondhand market. By secondhand market, I mean these only show up on Yahoo Auctions Japan, also known as YAJ or yahouku. Cab guitar listings will look something like this. This means a few things. 

1. Because these are only available on yahouku, this means they are in Japan. You will pay a gargantuan amount for shipping. For my guitars, I paid $120 each to ship from Japan to the US East Coast. 

2. Being only available on yahouku means that these do not appear regularly. Only a dozen show up every year, and they are usually listed in big batches all at once. You gotta wait if you want to buy one.

3. Being only available on yahouku also means you have buy through a proxy like Buyee or Zenmarket and deal with their associated fees.

4. The first time I saw a cab guitar go up for auction, I actually lost because I was bidding against an arcade getting replacement parts. There may be competition, so be aware. 

5. These are cab guitars, so they require a decent amount of work to be able to play on, at the very least, knowledge of soldering. Even then, they may come with problems. In my P2 guitar, one of the cables to the buttons was actually faulty. If something is broken… good luck getting replacement parts, lmao

Playing experience

I mean, it’s a guitar straight from a cab. I personally love it. The only real problems I had were that the springs in the strum were a bit too light for my taste. This is probably because the guitar has seen over a decade of use.

Option 2: Konami Official Guitar

Of course, I am obligated to bring up the official controller from Konami. This is what Konami thinks you should be using at home. 

Purchase

Here’s the thing: you can only buy these from Japan. The situation is similar to the cab guitars, except you CAN get them from Konami. Buying these via Tenso with your e-amuse account will actually unlock several exclusive songs both in arcade and in Konasute. It’s quite neat. Just one catch: it’s 38k yen. That is pretty expensive, especially when you consider shipping on top of that. But, you don’t have to pay that much. 

I bought mine off of yahouku for 21.5k yen. These show up on yahouku very often, and at very good prices. Shipping is considerably less than a cab guitar because they are not heavy at all. I paid about 11.5k yen, or 91 USD for shipping. However, mine didn’t come with a strap and I ended up using a GITALLER strap on this instead.

 

Playing experience

Pros

It’s great! I really like the fret switches, they feel almost exactly like a real cab guitar. The strum bar is actually ever so slightly smaller than a cab guitar strum. I slipped off of the bar mid-strum a few times. I don’t really mind, and I haven’t heard of anyone complaining about it.

The guitar is also about a third or half the weight of a cab guitar. If you’re like me and rely on the weight of the guitar to keep it from moving around during gameplay, you have a few options. I put 0.5kg ankle weights on the bottom strap mount and on the neck to make it feel just like cab guitar weight.

 

Alternatively, if you are crazy enough, this is also… a solution.

Notice that the start and options buttons are recessed, so they don’t interfere with your gameplay. Konasute also automatically recognizes this controller and integrates very well with it.

I like this. IS WHAT I WANT TO SAY.

Cons

First, initially one of the buttons only registered when I pressed it in a certain way. I replaced it with a switch from a cab guitar. It worked. UNTIL IT DIDN’T!

This stupid, e-waste, plastic landfill garbage controller BROKE. I was playing on it, finished a song, and the controller suddenly disconnected. AND IT NEVER CONNECTED TO MY COMPUTER EVER AGAIN. I think the board inside died. I’m planning to completely replace the internal board with my own wiring.

 

Also, these controllers are rather notorious for having questionable quality. Many top rankers have bought these, and a good number of them have reported button register issues very similar to mine. This can be fixed by removing the springs inside the buttons (didn’t work for me, that’s why I replaced the button outright). It seems that the majority of these issues come from the first production run, so if you buy new you probably won’t have those issues. Probably.

 

Option 3: GITALLER

Haha, I stole this image from a yahouku listing. This is the highest quality non-official GITADORA controller.

 

Purchase

Very easy, compared to the official guitar and the cab guitar! Just go here. Do note that in the United States, sometimes there will be a restock for the US Storehouse sale. You’ll get to buy the GITALLER for a slightly more expensive price ($311 if I remember correctly) but with FREE SHIPPING! Normally, shipping from GAMO2 to the East Coast for me is 130 bucks, so this is already better than the official guitar and cab guitar, price-wise. Also, because these are quite easy to get, you might be able to buy one secondhand from another GITADORA gamer in your area.

 

Playing experience

Pros

Honestly, great. You will need to install GAMO2’s firmware patch to fix a few issues, but it’s free and takes maybe 10 minutes max. Your computer will recognize the controller right away and it’s just a matter of making Konasute know which inputs are which. Dimensionally, it’s ever so slightly different, but I don’t think it matters. The guitar has metal weights in it so it weighs about as much as a cab guitar. In the following section, I’ll tell you that the frets don’t really feel anything like arcade frets, but most players don’t find it a problem.

Cons

The main drawback of this controller are the frets. The frets use mechanical switches, which you have the option of changing. You’ll be given two fret switch boards, one with Kailh Brown switches and the other with Kailh Yellow switches (clicky). The browns will feel more arcade accurate, but they feel drastically different. I attempted to use Kailh Black switches, which have similar weights to arcade switches, but again, mechanical switches just aren’t arcade switches. 

If you want to put arcade switches in this controller, you need:

 

1. A custom mounting solution, as arcade switches are a lot bigger.

2. Custom wiring, since you can’t use the existing fret switch board with the arcade switches (they don’t fit).

3. The switches, which are not commercially available. I’ve seen them listed on yahouku twice, ever. 

 

As I said before, the switches probably won’t really affect you, but they did affect me because I have a unique fret grip. I was scoring about 20 skill points less than I usually do. However, I haven’t seen anyone else have this kind of problem, so it’s not an issue.

 

Additionally, a decent number of players find the strap that comes with the GITALLER to be kinda bad, where it slips off the controller during play. I used a Guitar Hero controller strap on the GITALLER and it’s been excellent. I gave the GITALLER strap to my Konami official controller, and it has been great there.

 

The start and select buttons on this controller are not recessed like the Konami official controller, and sometimes I press it by accident. I ended up unbinding them. Not really a big problem.

 

Option 4: Guitar Hero

Well, time to talk about the elephant in the room.

If you are going to play on a GH con, at least try to get the Xplorer since it can detect wails. I mean, it’s not really necessary. These controllers just aren’t for GITADORA. 

 

- The spacing of the fret buttons allows you to hit the first and fifth buttons at the same time, comfortably. You are not supposed to be able to do that in GITADORA.

- The frets use membrane switches, while GITADORA frets are linear.

- The strum is clicky and triggers at different points. GITADORA strums use optical switches and have no feedback other than hitting the stopper. 

- GITADORA strums also use much heavier springs, which require different technique and more force than GH strum springs.

- GITADORA controllers are also a lot heavier than GH controllers. 

 

I’m not saying you can’t use one. It’s just not the full experience.

Alternatively, if you are crazy enough, this is also… a solution.

Notice that the start and options buttons are recessed, so they don’t interfere with your gameplay. Konasute also automatically recognizes this controller and integrates very well with it.

I like this. IS WHAT I WANT TO SAY.

Cons

First, initially one of the buttons only registered when I pressed it in a certain way. I replaced it with a switch from a cab guitar. It worked. UNTIL IT DIDN’T!

This stupid, e-waste, plastic landfill garbage controller BROKE. I was playing on it, finished a song, and the controller suddenly disconnected. AND IT NEVER CONNECTED TO MY COMPUTER EVER AGAIN. I think the board inside died. I’m planning to completely replace the internal board with my own wiring.

 

Also, these controllers are rather notorious for having questionable quality. Many top rankers have bought these, and a good number of them have reported button register issues very similar to mine. This can be fixed by removing the springs inside the buttons (didn’t work for me, that’s why I replaced the button outright). It seems that the majority of these issues come from the first production run, so if you buy new you probably won’t have those issues. Probably.

 

Option 3: GITALLER

Haha, I stole this image from a yahouku listing. This is the highest quality non-official GITADORA controller.

 

Purchase

Very easy, compared to the official guitar and the cab guitar! Just go here. Do note that in the United States, sometimes there will be a restock for the US Storehouse sale. You’ll get to buy the GITALLER for a slightly more expensive price ($311 if I remember correctly) but with FREE SHIPPING! Normally, shipping from GAMO2 to the East Coast for me is 130 bucks, so this is already better than the official guitar and cab guitar, price-wise. Also, because these are quite easy to get, you might be able to buy one secondhand from another GITADORA gamer in your area.

 

Playing experience

Pros

Honestly, great. You will need to install GAMO2’s firmware patch to fix a few issues, but it’s free and takes maybe 10 minutes max. Your computer will recognize the controller right away and it’s just a matter of making Konasute know which inputs are which. Dimensionally, it’s ever so slightly different, but I don’t think it matters. The guitar has metal weights in it so it weighs about as much as a cab guitar. In the following section, I’ll tell you that the frets don’t really feel anything like arcade frets, but most players don’t find it a problem.

Cons

The main drawback of this controller are the frets. The frets use mechanical switches, which you have the option of changing. You’ll be given two fret switch boards, one with Kailh Brown switches and the other with Kailh Yellow switches (clicky). The browns will feel more arcade accurate, but they feel drastically different. I attempted to use Kailh Black switches, which have similar weights to arcade switches, but again, mechanical switches just aren’t arcade switches. 

If you want to put arcade switches in this controller, you need:

 

1. A custom mounting solution, as arcade switches are a lot bigger.

2. Custom wiring, since you can’t use the existing fret switch board with the arcade switches (they don’t fit).

3. The switches, which are not commercially available. I’ve seen them listed on yahouku twice, ever. 

 

As I said before, the switches probably won’t really affect you, but they did affect me because I have a unique fret grip. I was scoring about 20 skill points less than I usually do. However, I haven’t seen anyone else have this kind of problem, so it’s not an issue.

 

Additionally, a decent number of players find the strap that comes with the GITALLER to be kinda bad, where it slips off the controller during play. I used a Guitar Hero controller strap on the GITALLER and it’s been excellent. I gave the GITALLER strap to my Konami official controller, and it has been great there.

 

The start and select buttons on this controller are not recessed like the Konami official controller, and sometimes I press it by accident. I ended up unbinding them. Not really a big problem.

 

Option 4: Guitar Hero

Well, time to talk about the elephant in the room.

If you are going to play on a GH con, at least try to get the Xplorer since it can detect wails. I mean, it’s not really necessary. These controllers just aren’t for GITADORA. 

 

- The spacing of the fret buttons allows you to hit the first and fifth buttons at the same time, comfortably. You are not supposed to be able to do that in GITADORA.

- The frets use membrane switches, while GITADORA frets are linear.

- The strum is clicky and triggers at different points. GITADORA strums use optical switches and have no feedback other than hitting the stopper. 

- GITADORA strums also use much heavier springs, which require different technique and more force than GH strum springs.

- GITADORA controllers are also a lot heavier than GH controllers. 

 

I’m not saying you can’t use one. It’s just not the full experience.

Option 5:

Sesame Street guitar controller?

6.Create .bat file   >>>>   spice64.exe -e .\prop\eamuse-config.xml  And Call it GITADORAMatixx DrumFreaks.bat

 

 

I assume the "called" is to rename the "confing" in the "prop" file, but I don't know what to do from there.

By the way, iidx25 omnimix worked.
This is because it was set up first.

Is this event helpful?

HOW TO Create .bat File 

Right click on your mouse >> New >>> TEXT Document 
one click 

now you have New Text Document 
-Right click on it 
-Edit 
-Create a line lets say (spice64.exe)SO write in side the New Text Document 

spice64.exe -e .\prop\eamuse-config.xml 

- TO UNDERSTAND
"spice64 is for spice64.exe" "-e is to activate the path of the ea3-Config.xml" ".\prop\eamuse-config.xml is the path of your game ea3-Config.xml "

-Now CLICK File
-Click Save

-NOW lets rename the New Text Document.txt to a (GITADORA Matixx DrumFreaks) command line file
- So right click on it >>>> Rename it to GITADORA Matixx DrumFreaks.bat 

 

hope its useful 🤓  its a simple Conversion from .txt file to .bat file

When I launch Gitadora Exchain my desktop audio cuts off till I close the game and the screen only appears black for me. (additionally I get audio rendering problems if I launch anything)
I checked both output and input they are both using 4800hz and allowing exclusive control/modes.
Not sure what to do at this point 😞
