### 2 - Downloads
!!! danger "This guide assumes you are starting with clean unmodified data"
Packages that are already Modified or Patched are difficult to debug
and may not work with the steps in this guide.
??? note "**Find the Following:**"
- Maimai DX Buddies SDEZ 1.40
- Unpacked / Decrypted Files
- ICF Files
- (optional) English Patch
- (optional) Option Files
- (optional) Mega Omnimix
!!! danger "The above are version specific. Do not mix files across different versions.<br>If you are coming from a previous version of MAIMAI:"
Create a new folder for the game and start from scratch.
MAIMAI **DOES NOT** like being extracted over old data!
!!! danger "The 1.41 update is NOT recommended."
??? note "**Download the Following:**"
- [Dniel97 segatools.zip 2024-06-30](https://gitea.tendokyu.moe/Dniel97/segatools/releases/tag/2024-06-30)
- [Visual C++ Redistributable Runtime](https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases/latest)
---
### 3 - Preparing Data
??? note "**Folder Structure**"
!!! danger "There are currently issues with running game data in the `E:\` or `Y:\` drive.<br>Please extract the data into other drives."
After downloading and extracting your data, make sure your files
are not set to `Read-only`.
- 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.
Extract Maimai DX Buddies. The root directory file structure is as
follows:
<img width="500" src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_rootdir.png">
Rename `Option` to `option`. Create empty folders `appdata` and `amfs`
in the root directory:
<img width="500" src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_rootdir2.png">
The `App` folder should have a file structure as follows.
<img width="500" src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_appdir.png">
??? danger "If your data doesn't look like this:"
If extra files are present next to your folders, such as
executables, scripts, etc.. **This most likely means your
data was tampered with and we strongly recommend getting
new data from somewhere else.**
??? note "**Installing ICFs**"
Install Configuration Files (ICFs) tell the game what version it is.
**Without this your game cannot go online!**
If your `amfs` folder already has files named `ICF1` and `ICF2`, skip
this step.
Otherwise, obtain a copy of SDEZ_1.40.icf and rename to `ICF1`
**without any file extensions**. Create a copy of ICF1 and rename the
copy to ICF2. Place both files in the `amfs` folder.
??? tip "Showing File Extensions"
By default, file extensions on Windows are hidden. Enable them
by navigating to the `View` tab in File Explorer and select
`File name extensions`.
??? tip "Creating ICF Files"
It is also possible to create (encode) the 1.40 ICF files
using the [icf-reader project](https://gitea.tendokyu.moe/beerpsi/icf-reader/releases)
and the following json:
```
[
{
"type": "System",
"id": "ACA",
"version": "80.01.01",
"required_system_version": "80.01.01",
"datetime": "2021-11-10T13:45:11",
"is_prerelease": false
},
{
"type": "App",
"id": "SDEZ",
"version": "1.40.00",
"required_system_version": "80.01.01",
"datetime": "2023-08-02T13:00:07",
"is_prerelease": false
}
]
```
```
./icf-reader.exe [input_json] [output_ICF]
```
??? note "**Installing Unprotected Executables**"
MAIMAI executables are protected and will not run on a regular
computer.
Obtained unprotected (also called `unpacked` or `decrypted` by the
community) copies of `Sinmai.exe`, `amdaemon.exe`, and the folder
`Sinmai_Data` with the modified dll's for your game version.
Copy the files and folder into the `App\Package` folder. Agree to overwrite
files.
??? question "**Installing English Patch**"
The patch should contain a `Sinmai_Data` folder. Copy the contents
into the game's `Sinmai_Data` and agree to overwrite files.
??? question "**Installing Option Data**"
MAIMAI content updates are distributed through option folders instead
of patching the base game. They are named `A???`, with each `?`
being a number. Custom options distributed by the community might use
different letters instead such as `H???`, to distinguish them from
official ones.
**Place options folders `A???` / `H???` inside the `option` folder**

### 4 - Configuring the Game
??? note "Installing Segatools"
- Extract [segatools.zip](https://gitea.tendokyu.moe/Dniel97/segatools/releases/tag/2024-06-30)
- Inside segatools, extract `mai2.zip` which should contain the following
contents:
<img width="500" src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_segatools.png">
- Place the above `mai2` contents inside the `App\Package` folder.
??? note "Configuring Segatools"
Since there is no graphical configuration tool for segatools, you
will have to edit the configuration file by hand. It is found in
`App\Package\segatools.ini`.
It is recommended that you follow along using a text editor with
syntax highlighting such as [Notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/).
If you've been matching the file structure as described in the
[Preparing data](#3-preparing-data) section, you can fill in this
section with the values below:
```ini
[vfs]
amfs=../../amfs
option=../../option
appdata=../../appdata
```
```ini
[dns]
default=YOUR_IPv4_Address
```
??? tip "Finding IPv4 Address"
Open a command promt. Type `ipconfig` and look for the IPv4
address. Place those digits here otherwise you will get stuck
on the DNS(LAN) check.
```ini
[gpio]
freeplay=1
```
!!! danger "All other settings are config specific - Leave for now"
??? note "Configuring Patches"
The unprotected files call upon a configuration file to load various
patches for the game:
- **mai2.ini** - if using english patch
- **maimaiDX.ini** - if **not** using english patch
Create the appropriate file inside the `App\Package` folder with the
following contents:
```ini
[AM]
Target=0
IgnoreError=1
DummyTouchPanel=1
DummyLED=1
DummyCodeCamera=1
DummyPhotoCamera=1
[Patches]
EnablePatchLog=0
EnableLoadAssetSupportPng=0
EnablePickImageToCamera=0
EnableSkipInformationDialog=0
EnableSkipRegionalDiscover=0
EnableSinglePlayer=1
EnableRemoveNetworkEncryption=1
[Sound]
Sound8Ch=0
[Debug]
Debug=1
SinglePlayer=1
MaxTrack=3
AllOpen=1
```
??? tip "More Configuration Options"
The following have been present in various .ini files and may
or may not work with a specific version. Many of these have
already been moved into segatools and are no longer used:
```ini
[AM]
Target=0 // for hardware/cabinet targeting
IgnoreError=1 // ignores errors instead of crashing
// the following are to fake hardware so that the game runs
DummyTouchPanel=1
DummyLED=1
DummyCodeCamera=1
DummyPhotoCamera=1
[Sound]
Sound8Ch=0 // changing to 1 causes no sound
[aime]
enable=1 // seems to be the same as segatools aime enable
[Patches]
EnablePatchLog=1 // writes to dppatchlog.log
EnableLoadAssetSupportPng=0 // for reading custom jackets
EnablePickImagetoCamera=0 // for setting avatar from file
// the following are self explanatory
EnableSkipInformationDialog=1
EnableSkipRegionalDiscover=1
EnableSinglePlayer=1
EnableRemoveNetworkEncryption=1
[Debug]
Debug=1 // enables these options
SinglePlayer=1 // game defaults to 2 player
// automatically unlock the following
AllOpen=1
AllMap=1
AllCollection=1
AllChara=1
EventOverride=1 // ???
MaxTrack=6 // number of tracks to play during normal mode (default 3)
MusicSelectTime=65535 // not working
Creative=1 // ???
```
??? note "Configuring Aime Card"
!!! danger "If you have a card reader - disconnect it for now."
Follow these steps even if you have a card reader.
Create a file named `aime.txt` inside `App\Package\DEVICE` and type
in your 20-digit access code if you already have one, or make one up
if you don't. If you're making one up, the access code **MUST NOT**
start with a 3.
<img src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_aime.png">
---
### 5 - Guest Mode Test
!!! danger "These steps are required, otherwise your game will not run."
??? note "VCRedist"
- Download and install the latest [VCRedist](https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases/latest) (`VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe`)
- Restart the computer
??? note "Fixing OpenSSL on Intel 10th Gen and newer CPUs"
If you have an Intel 10th Gen CPU or newer, right click
`App\bin\start.bat`, select `Edit`, and add the highlighted line to
the top of the file.
```batch hl_lines="2"
@echo off
set OPENSSL_ia32cap=:~0x20000000
pushd %~dp0
...
```
??? note "Test Launch"
!!! danger "If you are not using the English Patch"
The menu items follow the same order in either language
Double click `start.bat` in the `App\Package` folder. If everything
is setup properly, there will be three windows. The cmd windows should
show the following:
<img src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_cmd.png">
The other window `AM Daemon` can be ignored.
The last window is Sinmai.exe which goes through a sequence of
checks. The first is the data check which also ensures the program
is running on appropriate hardware (make sure Target=0 in mai2.ini):
<img src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_sinmai.png">
The next check is for the aime reader which segatools is emulating:
<img src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_sinmai2.png">
Afterwards the game checks the network:
<img src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_sinmai3.png">
The last check is on the hardware at which point the game should
be stuck on `Searching for Servers`:
<img src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_sinmai4.png">
To fix this, press the `F1` key on the keyboard to enter the service
menu:
<img src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_service.png">
Navigate to `GAME SETTINGS` using the following keys:
| Control | Keyboard |
|---------|----------|
| UP | W |
| DOWN | C |
| SELECT | F1 |
Then change the `LOCAL MATCHING SETTING` to `OFF`
<img src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_service2.png">
Make sure to `EXIT` on both menus to save the settings. Once you
are back in the menu press `ESC` to quit and close all windows
related to the game.
Relaunch `start.bat`. The game should now boot (make sure to allow
Sinmai.exe to communicate on local networks) in `Guest Mode` and can
be navigated with the following:
| Controller | Keyboard |
|------------|----------|
| Button 1 | W |
| Button 2 | E |
| Button 3 | D |
| Button 4 | C |
| Button 5 | X |
| Button 6 | Z |
| Button 7 | A |
| Button 8 | Q |
| Service | F1 |
| Quit | ESC |

### 6 - Connecting to a Network
!!! danger "Please choose ONE of the three options"
**Remote** - easier to setup but scores may be deleted at anytime<br>
**Artemis** - completely local<br>
**AquaDX** - **TODO**
??? example "Remote (Online Network)"
Head to the `[dns]` section inside `segatools.ini`. Set `default` to
the address provided by your network. **Do not add `http://` or
`https://` to the address!**
```ini
[dns]
default=network.example
```
Then, head to the `[keychip]` section and set `id` to the keychip ID
provided by your network host:
```ini
[keychip]
id=XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX
```
??? example "Artemis (Local Network)"
??? note "Install Tools"
- Install [Python 3.11](https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.7/python-3.11.7-amd64.exe)
and `Add Python to PATH` when the option is presented.
!!! danger "Only use python 3.8 - 3.11 (3.12 will not work)"
- Download and install [MariaDB](https://mariadb.org/download/)
with default settings. Set a password (`YOUR_DB_PASSWORD`)
and remember it.
- Download and install [DBeaver](https://dbeaver.io/download/)
with default settings.
??? note "Setup Database"
Open DBeaver and connect to MariaDB database with
`YOUR_DB_PASSWORD`:
<img src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_dbeaver.png">
Install drivers if prompted.
Click the `SQL Editor` dropdown and click `Open SQL Console`.
Paste the following into the console (replace
`YOUR_DB_PASSWORD`):
```
CREATE USER 'aime'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_DB_PASSWORD';
CREATE DATABASE aime;
GRANT Alter,Create,Delete,Drop,Index,Insert,References,Select,Update ON aime.* TO 'aime'@'localhost';
```
Click the top line then click the small orange right-facing
triangle to run. Make sure there are no errors. Click the
next line and run. Click the last line and run:
<img src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_dbeaver2.png">
If you expand localhost on the left, you should see the new
Database `aime` and the new User `aime@localhost`:
<img src="/img/maimai/buddies/setup_dbeaver3.png">
Lastly click the `File` dropdown then `Save` then exit.
??? note "Configure Artemis"
- Download [Hay1tsme Artemis](https://gitea.tendokyu.moe/Hay1tsme/artemis)
(tested with master branch commit 31ca45fc68)
- Open a command line and navigate to the extracted artemis
folder. Run the following:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
and ensure there are no errors.
- Copy the folder `example_config` and rename to `config`
- Enter `config` and open `core.yaml` in an editor.
- Replace `server: listen_address` with `0.0.0.0`
- Replace `server: hostname` with `YOUR_IPv4_Address`
- Replace `title: reboot_start_time` with `6:59`
- Replace `database: password` with `YOUR_DB_PASSWORD`
- Replace `aimedb: listen_address` with `0.0.0.0`
- Replace `aimedb: key` with `KEY` (FIND THE KEY)
??? tip "Finding IPv4 Address"
Open a command promt. Type `ipconfig` and look for the IPv4
address. Place those digits here otherwise you will get stuck
on the DNS(LAN) check.
??? note "Create Database Tables"
Open a command line and navigate to the extracted artemis
folder. Run the following:
```
python dbutils.py create
```
Next import the songs and options into the database:
```
python read.py --game SDEZ --version 21 --binfolder /path/to/Sinmai_Data/StreamingAssets --optfolder /path/to/root/option/folder
```
After a successfuly import, we can check that database
tables are up-to-date:
```
python dbutils.py upgrade
```
We can now test by running:
```
python index.py
```
Start the game (start.bat) and it should now connect. To
verify, hold down `ENTER` at the start screen and it should
read the aime card in `DEVICES\aime.txt`.
??? tip "Autostart Artemis"
Open `run` and type `shell:startup`. This will open
the location of startup programs. Create `artemis.bat`
in this folder and copy the following:
```
@echo off
cd {Path to artemis}
start /min cmd /c "python index.py"
```
When you restart the PC, artemis will run
automatically.
??? example "AquaDX"
**TODO** - someone experienced with AquaDX needs to write this section

!!! danger "If you're coming from a previous version of maimai DX"
Create a new folder for the game and start from scratch.
maimai DX **DOES NOT** like being extracted over old data!
---
### Preparing data
!!! danger "There are currently issues with running game data in the `E:\` or `Y:\` drive.<br>Please extract the data into other drives."
!!! tip ""
After downloading and extracting your data, we need to make sure your files
are not set to `Read-only`.
- 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.
You should end up with a file structure as follows.

<img width="500" src="/img/maimaidx/setup/rootdir2.png">
The `App` folder should have a file structure as follows.
<img width="500" src="/img/maimaidx/setup/appdir.png">
??? warning "If your data doesn't look like this"
If your data looks like the third image:
- Create an `App` folder and move all files and folders from the image inside of it.
- Create empty folders named `amfs`, `Option` and `AppData` next to the `App` folder.
If extra files are present next to your folders, such as executables, scripts, etc..
**remove them. This also means your data was tampered with and we strongly recommend
getting new data from somewhere else.**
#### Installing ICFs
!!! tip ""
Install Configuration Files (ICFs) tell the game what version it is.
**Without this your game cannot go online!**
If your `amfs` folder already has files`ICF1` and `ICF2`, skip this step.
Otherwise, obtain copies of `ICF1` for your game version and place it in
the `amfs` folder. If it is named something else, rename it to exactly
`ICF1` **without any file extensions.** `ICF2` is a copy of `ICF1`.
??? info "Showing File Extensions"
By default, file extensions on Windows are hidden. Enable them by navigating to
the `View` tab in File Explorer and select `File name extensions`.
#### Installing Unprotected Executables
!!! tip ""
maimai DX executables are protected and will not run on a regular computer.
Obtained unprotected (also called "unpacked" or "decrypted" by the community)
copies of the following files and the associated configuration file:
- amdaemon.exe
- Sinmai.exe
- Sinmai_Data/Plugins/amdaemon_api.dll
- Sinmai_Data/Plugins/Cake.dll
- Sinmai_Data/Managed/AMDaemon.NET.dll
- Sinmai_Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll
- mai2.ini or maimaiDX.ini
Copy the files and folders into the `App/Package` folder of your game data. Agree to overwrite
when asked.
!!! Warning "Assembly-CSharp Notes"
`Assembly-CSharp.dll` **must** match your game version. All others can be
reused from other game versions. If these were not provided with your data,
join the [Discord](https://discord.gg/cZRUmEPK78) for assistance.
`Assembly-CSharp.dll` **must** also contain `mai2.ini` or `maimaiDX.ini`. These configuration
files are specific to the unprotected `Assembly-CSharp.dll`. If your package does not
contain a configuration file, please create one with the following to bypass hardware
checks on game startup:
```ini
[AM]
Target=0
IgnoreError=1
DummyTouchPanel=1
DummyLED=1
DummyCodeCamera=1
DummyPhotoCamera=1
[Sound]
Sound8Ch=0
[Patches]
EnablePatchLog=1
```
!!! tip "If the assembly supports it, `App/Package/dpPatchLog.log` lists supported patches after the first run. Otherwise see [Custom Mods](#custom-mods)"

Since there is no graphical configuration tool for segatools, you will have to edit the
configuration file by hand. It is found in `App/Package/segatools.ini`.
It is recommended that you follow along using a text editor with syntax highlighting such as [Notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/).
Each following sub-section will correspond to a section in `segatools.ini`. If any
section is not mentioned, you can skip them.
!!! warning
If a key already exists in the section, delete everything after `=` and replace it with your
setting. Do not add another key. Example:
```ini
[system]
dipsw2=1
dipsw2=1 ; WRONG!
```
#### `[vfs]`
!!! tip ""
If you've been matching the file structure as described in the [Preparing data](#preparing-data)
section, you can fill in this section with the values below:
```ini
[vfs]
amfs=../../amfs
option=../../option
appdata=../../appdata
```
#### `[dns]`
!!! tip ""
Game will not pass checks unless you modify the dns:
```ini
[dns]

!!! danger "Please choose one of the two solutions, not both!"
??? tip "Remote (Online Network)"
Head to the `[dns]` section inside `segatools.ini`. Set `default` to the address
provided by your network. **Do not add `http://` or `https://` to the address!**
```ini
[dns]
default=network.example
```
Then, head to the `[keychip]` section and set `id` to the keychip ID provided by your network:
```ini
[keychip]
id=A69E-XXXXXXXXXXX
```
Finally, you need a card number. Create a file named `aime.txt` inside `App/Package/DEVICE` and type in
your 20-digit access code if you already have one, or make one up if you don't. If you're making one
up, the access code **MUST NOT** start with a 3.

??? tip "Local (ARTEMiS/AquaDX)"
Both of these options require non-trivial setup. Refer to the official guides for [ARTEMiS](https://gitea.tendokyu.moe/Hay1tsme/artemis/src/branch/develop/docs/INSTALL_WINDOWS.md)
and [AquaDX](https://github.com/hykilpikonna/AquaDX?tab=readme-ov-file#usage-v1-developmental-preview)
to set up a local server.

### Further Configuration
#### Updating the Base Game
!!! tip ""
Extract your patch's files to your existing data in a way that matches its
file structure. Agree to overwrite files if necessary.
!!! Warning "Only update if an unencrypted `Assembly-CSharp.dll` is available"
#### Installing Option Data
!!! tip ""
maimai DX content updates are distributed through option folders instead of patching
the base game. They are named with a letter followed by three numbers. Each release
increments the letter (ie. BUDDiES is `H???` and BUDDiES+ is `I???`).
Extract any options you've downloaded into the `option` folder. You should end up with
a file structure as follows. **Do not be worried if you have fewer or more option folders.**

!!! warning "Do not mix option data between versions"
#### Custom Mods
!!! tip ""
!!! danger "Please use BepInEx to load all mods including MelonLoader and MonoMods"
Mods have historically been hardcoded into the unprotected `Assembly-CSharp.dll` which the user can
enable/disable with the `mai2.ini` or `maimaiDX.ini` configuration. The modern approach is to use
BepInEx to load custom mods without hardmodding the Assembly-CSharp file.
To enable BepInEx, download the [BepInEx stable release](https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx/releases/latest),
extract the BepInEx folder to the `App/Package` folder, and modify `segatools.ini` with the following:
```ini
[unity]
enable=1
targetAssembly=BepInEx\core\BepInEx.Preloader.dll
```
- BepInEx: place mods in `BepInEx/Plugins`
- Melonloader: use [BepInEx.MelonLoader.Loader](https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx.MelonLoader.Loader/releases/latest) UnityMono-BepInEx5. Place mods in `MLLoader/Mods`
- MonoMods: use [BepInEx.MonoMod.Loader](https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx.MonoMod.Loader/releases/latest). Place mods in `BepInEx/monomod`
!!! warning "Some maimai DX mods are only compatible with BepInEx 5.4.22"
