iidxhook
iidxhook is a collection of hook libraries for BeatmaniaIIDX providing emulation and various patches to run these games on non BemaniPC hardware and newer Windows versions.
The hook libraries must be bootstrapped either using inject or launcher depending on the version you want to run. Further instructions are given in dedicated readme files for each iidxhook version (see below).
Versions
iidxhook comes in a few different flavors. The game and its engine changed over the years. Some game versions might require patches/parameters enabled which others don't need or have different AVS versions. Here is the list of supported games:
- iidxhook1: 9th, 10th, RED, HAPPY SKY
- iidxhook2: DistorteD
- iidxhook3: GOLD, DJ TROOPERS, EMPRESS, SIRIUS
- iidxhook4: Resort Anthem
- iidxhook5: Lincle
- iidxhook6: Tricoro
- iidxhook7: SPADA, PENDUAL, copula, SINOBUZ
- iidxhook8: CANNON BALLERS, Rootage
- iidxhook8: Heroic Verse
When building kactools, independent packages are created for each set of games which are ready to be dropped on top of vanilla AC data dumps. We recommend using prestine dumps to avoid any conflicts with other hardcoded hacks or binary patches.
How to run
To run your game with iidxhook, you have to use the inject tool to inject the DLL to the game process. dist/iidx contains bat scripts with all the important parameters configured. Further parameters can be added but might not be required to run the game with default settings. Further information on how to setup the data for each specific version are elaborated in their dedicated readme files.
Command line options
Add the argument -h when running inject with iidxhook to print help/usage information with a list of parameters you can apply to tweak various things.
