# Bemanitools API
|
||
|
|
Bemanitools introduces interfaces abstracting the IO hardware of many games. This is used to implement support for
|
||
|
|
non-intended IO devices from simple keyboard support, standard gamecontrollers to custom IO boards or using real
|
||
|
|
hardware with the games (e.g. support for real legacy hardware).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For a list of already supported and included hardware by game, see the next section.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The BT5 API separates main game IO hardware like buttons, turn tables, spinners, lights etc. (bstio, iidxio, ...) from
|
||
|
|
eamuse hardware like 10-key pads and card readers (eamio).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to write an implementation for your own custom piece of hardware, check out the SDK (*bemanitools*
|
||
|
|
sub-folder) in the source code (src.zip).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Implementations
|
||
|
|
The following implementations are already shipped with BT5.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
* bstio.dll (default): Keyboard, joystick and mouse input
|
||
|
|
* Dance Dance Revolution
|
||
|
|
* ddrio.dll (default): Keyboard, joystick and mouse input
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
* ddrio-smx.dll: StepManiaX platforms
|
||
|
|
* Beatmania IIDX
|
||
|
|
* iidxio.dll (default): Keyboard, joystick and mouse input
|
||
|
|
* iidxio-ezusb.dll: Ezusb (C02 IO) driver
|
||
|
|
* iidxio-ezusb2.dll: Ezusb FX2 (IO2) driver
|
||
|
|
* jubeat
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
* SOUND VOLTEX
|
||
|
|
* sdvxio.dll (default): Keyboard, joystick and mouse input
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Eamuse hardware support is implemented separately:
|
||
|
|
* eamio.dll (default): Keyboard and joystick input
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Development notes
|
||
|
|
A DEF file for geninput.dll is included. To convert the DEF into an import library suitable for use with Visual C++, run
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
lib /machine:i386 /def:geninput.def
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
from the Visual C++ command line. If you're using mingw then use dlltool:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
dlltool -d geninput.def -l geninput.a
|
||
|
|
```
