Features

• Superior slider processing; no more dropped holds or missed notes!
• Native arcade IO support
• Air sensor anti-jitter (fixes dodgy sensors)
• Intuitive menus
• Arcade-accurate colours

And of course, it's all open source :).

Setup

Installing Firmware

• Download both host_aprom.bin and led_aprom.bin
• Run TASOLLER-FirmwareUpdater.exe
• Follow the instructions

Configuring segatools

This firmware emulates arcade IO. As such, segatools' emulation should be disabled, by adding the following lines:

[slider]
enable=0
[io4]
enable=0

Ensure no other [slider] section exists in the file (or if it does, set enable=0 there instead).

The slider MUST be assigned to port COM1. To do this:

• Go to Devices and Printers in control panel
• Double click TASOLLER
• In the Hardware tab, double click USB Serial Device
  • If this already reads USB Serial Device (COM1) nothing needs done
• Click Change settings
• Go to Port Settings -> Advanced...
• Under the dropdown for COM Port Number: select COM1

If COM1 is already in use, check what device it is assigned to in Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT). You may need to enable View -> Show hidden devices.

Pre-chusan Chunithm uses IO3. This firmware does not (and unfortunately cannot) support IO3. It is recommended to enable the HID keyboard mode, and continue to use keyboard input for IRs.

Controls

General

Tap FN1 to insert a coin. FN2 is currently unbound.

Configuration

While holding FN1, the following configuration options are available:

※ "Insert card" will hold the Enter key for 5 seconds

Test menu

To enter the system test menu, double-tap FN2. This will mirror the on-screen controls, and additionally adds controls for the TEST and SERVICE buttons on a real cabinet. Double-tap FN2 again to leave this mode on the controller (note that this is not synced with the game exiting the menu!).

To access the TEST and SERVICE buttons without entering the test menu, hold FN2 instead.

Keyboard Mapping

When the HID keyboard is enabled, the following mapping (UMIGURI defaults) is used:

with the airs mapped as 0OLP,..

Please note that this is slightly different to stock firmware!
