+### Preparing data
 
 !!! tip ""
 
-	After downloading your data, the first thing to do is make sure your files aren't set to READ ONLY, make sure to uncheck it from the main folder in the Windows Properties tab if so. Then, locate `iidx-09-to-12.zip` inside the `bemanitools-5.44.zip`. Extract it inside the folder that contains the `bm2dx.exe` which should be located in `\C02\D\C02\JAG`. Pictured below is what your folder should look like, we've removed any files not necessary for **9th style**. Feel free to name your `gamestart.bat` file whatever you desire, for the sake of convenience we've kept it as it.
+	After downloading and extracting your data, we need to make sure your files aren't set to `Read-only`.
 
-<img src="/img/iidx9/bt1.png">
+	- Right click the folder containing your data, then click on `Properties`.
+	- In the `General` tab go down to `Attributes`, untick `Read-only` and click `Apply`.
+	- A popup will appear, select `Apply changes to this folder, subfolder and files` and press `OK`.
+	- Finally, click `OK` again to exit out of properties.

+### Installing Bemanitools
 
 !!! tip ""
 	
-	Next up, open the `bemanitools-supplement-v1.6.zip` or any version higher than that and navigate inside the `misc.zip`. Now navigate into `misc\d3d8to9` and extract `d3d8.dll` into the same folder as we previously have done. This enables us to use the graphic options inside `iidxhook-09.conf` which we will take advantage of. It should look like this:
+	- Download :material-package-down:[Bemanitools](https://github.com/djhackersdev/bemanitools/releases/download/5.48/bemanitools-5.48.zip).
 
-<img src="/img/iidx9/btsup1.png">
+	- Inside :material-zip-box:`bemanitools-5.48.zip` locate :material-zip-box:`iidx-09-to-12.zip`.
 
-<img src="/img/iidx9/2.png">
+	- Extract everything inside the folder that contains the :material-file:`bm2dx.exe` which is located in :material-folder:`\C02\D\C02\JAG`.

+
+#### Buttons
 
 !!! tip ""
-	It works similarly to Spice but not entirely. Make sure to also bind `Test` and `Service` since we will need it later. `Service` will also be used to **insert coins** to start the game. When you're done setting up your keybinds and analogs, it should look something like this:
 
-<img src="/img/iidx9/4.png">
+	Double click on the right on a button that you wish to bind, then press the key you want associated with the action.
+
+	With your controller and/or keyboard plugged in, configure your keys for:  
+
+	- **Maintenance**: `Service, Test`
+	- **P1 Game buttons**: `1 to 7, Start, EFFECT, VEFX` 
+	- **P1 Keypad**: `Keypad Insert Card` 
+
+	**Only if** you're playing using a keyboard:
+
+	- **Turntable**: `TT+, TT-` **and optionally** `TT+/-` which alternates between `TT+` and `TT-` on each press.
+
+#### Analogs (controller/cab only)
+
+!!! tip ""
+
+	With a controller rather than binding buttons to `TT+` and `TT-`, you need to:
+
+	- Head to the `Analogs` tab at the top.
+	- In `Device`, pick your controller.
+	- In `Control`, pick whichever one corresponds to the turntable.
+	- Turn your turntable ensuring that the preview turns along with it.
+	- Click `OK`, leaving the rest of the settings alone.
+
+#### Lights (controller/cab only)
+
+!!! tip ""
+
+	Your controller might support having its lights controlled by the game through bemanitools.
+
+	If it does, here's how you may link different actions to your lights:
+
+	- In `Device`, pick your controller.
+	- In `Game Light`, select the corresponding button that will be used for that light.
+	- Repeat for your other lights.
