# jbhook
jbhook is a collection of hook libraries for jubeat 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](../inject.md) or
[launcher](../launcher.md) depending on the version you want to run. Further
instructions are given in dedicated readme files for each jbhook version
(see below).
# Versions
jbhook 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:
* [jbhook1](jbhook1.md): jubeat, ripples
* [jbhook2](jbhook2.md): knit, copious
* [jbhook3](jbhook3.md): saucer, prop, qubell, clan, festo
I sure have trouble remembering which jubeat version is which, here's a handy
guide:
* 01 - jubeat
* 02 - ripples
* 03 - knit
* 04 - copious
* 05 - saucer
* 06 - prop
* 07 - qubell
* 08 - clan
* 09 - festo
When building bemanitools, 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 pristine dumps to avoid any conflicts with other hardcoded hacks or
binary patches.
# How to run
To run your game with jbhook, you have to use the inject tool to inject the
DLL to the game process. `dist/jb` 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.
# Data setup and running the game
Ensure your folder with your unpacked data looks like this:
- `data`
- `prop`
- Various dll files including `jubeat.dll` **OR** `jubeat.exe`
Unpack the package containing jbhook into the folder containing the jubeat
binary file.
Run the `gamestart-XX.bat` file where `XX` denotes the version of the game you want to run.
# Eamuse network setup
Running jubeat or ripples? Modify jbhook-01.conf or jbhook-02.conf.
Running anything newer?
* Open the `prop/ea3-config.xml`
* Replace the `ea3/network/services` URL with network service URL of your
choice (for example http://my.eamuse.com)
* Edit the `ea3/id/pcbid`
# Real hardware support
Run the launcher without the hook dll: `launcher jubeat.dll`
# Command line options
Add the argument *-h* when running inject with jbhook to print help/usage
information with a list of parameters you can apply to tweak various things.
