# Tools

Documentation about various additional tooling that is fundamentally not required to run any of
BT5's supported games, but provides additional features for users and developers alike.

## BT5 API

Various command line tools for quick and easy testing of BT5 API implementations witohut having to
run any target games.

- [ddriotest](ddriotest.md): `ddrio` API
- [eamiotest](eamiotest.md): `eamio` API
- [iidxiotest](iidxiotest.md): `iidxio` API
- [jbiotest](jbiotest.md): `jbio` API

## IO related

### ACIO

- [aciotest](aciotest.md): Command line tool for quick and easy testing of ACIO devices without
  having to run a game.

### P3IO DDR testing tool

- [p3io-ddr-tool](p3io-ddr-tool.md): Extensive command line tool to test and debug a real P3IO DDR
  (Dragon PCB) IO board + EXTIO

### Ezusb

- [ezusb-iidx-fpga-flash](ezusb-iidx-fpga-flash.md): Tool for flashing the FPGA on ezusb 1 boards.
  Required if you want to run games without native ezusb support using BT5's iidxio API.
- [ezusb-iidx-sram-flash](ezusb-iidx-sram-flash.md): Tool for flashing data to the SRAM of ezusb FX
  2 boards. Required if you want to run games without native ezusb FX 2 support using BT5's iidxio
  API.
- [ezusb-tool](ezusb-tool.md): Fundamental tool for flashing the base firmware to ezusb 1/2 boards.
  Required if you want to run games without native ezusb 1/2 support using BT5's iidxio API.

### IIDX exit hooks

Exit hooks allow you to exit the game using a combination of inputs on native IO hardware.

Supported IO hardware:

- [ezusb](iidx-ezusb-exit-hook.md)
- [ezusb 2](iidx-ezusb2-exit-hook.md)
- [bio2](iidx-bio2-exit-hook.md)

## Misc

- \[mempatch-hook\]: Hook library to dynamically apply memory address patches during runtime before
  your application starts execution. Should be prefered over hardcoded hex-edits if applicable.
- \[pcbidgen\]: Command line tool to generate random PCBIDs
