+!!! danger "Please make sure you downloaded your data from an appropriate source.<br>This guide is unable to troubleshoot any problems related to bad or poorly managed data."
+
+!!! 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/rootdir.png">
+
+    Create two new empty folders named `appdata` and `amfs` (and the folder `option` if not present) next to them as shown below:
+
+    <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)"
+

+
+### Installing Segatools
+
+!!! tip ""
+
+    - Head over to [segatools releases](https://gitea.tendokyu.moe/Dniel97/segatools/releases/latest)
+    and download the latest `segatools.zip`. **Do not download the source code.**
+    - Extracting the archive should give you a few more zip files. Find `mai2.zip`
+    and extract it to the `App/Package` folder in your game data.
+
+    You should now have a few more files inside the `App/Package` folder, as highlighted:
+
+    <img width="500" src="/img/maimaidx/setup/segatools.png">
+
+---
+
+### Configuring Segatools
+
+!!! tip ""
+
+    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]
+    default=YOUR_IPv4_ADDRESS
+    ```
+
+    ??? tip "Finding Your 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.
+
+---
+
+### Pre-launch requirements
+
+!!! info "These steps are required, otherwise your game won't run."
+
+#### VCRedist & DirectX
+
+!!! tip ""	
+
+	- Download and install the latest [VCRedist](https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases/latest) (`VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe`)
+	- Download and install the [DirectX End-User Runtimes](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109)
+
+#### Audio
+
+!!! tip ""
+
+    - Right-click on the volume setting in your taskbar and select `Sounds`.
+    - Navigate to the `Playback` tab, right click on your default audio device, and click on `Properties`.
+    - Go to the `Advanced` tab.
+	- Check both boxes under `Exclusive Mode`.
+	- Open the `Default Format` dropdown.
+    - Pick either `16 bit, 48000Hz (DVD Quality)` or `24 bit, 48000Hz (Studio Quality)`, click `Apply`, then `OK`.
+
+    <img src="/img/maimaidx/setup/audio.png">
+
+#### Fixing OpenSSL on Intel 10th Gen and newer CPUs
+
+!!! tip ""
+
+    If you have an Intel 10th Gen CPU or newer, right click `App/Package/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
+    ...
+    ```
+
+---
+
+### Test Launch
+
+!!! danger "If you have any issues running the game, refer to the [Troubleshooting](troubleshooting.md) page."
+
+!!! warning "Please Disconnect any Hardware including Controllers or Card Readers at this time."
+
+!!! tip
+
+    Without an English patch, the service menu will be in Japanese. If you don't know Japanese, [Google Lens](https://lens.google/)
+    is a handy tool for navigating this menu.
+
+#### Game Settings
+
+!!! tip ""
+
+    If you've followed all instructions correctly, you are ready to launch the game!
+
+    Start the game by running `App/Package/start.bat`. You should see a terminal pop-up with the following:
+
+    <img src="/img/maimaidx/setup/cmd.png">
+
+    Another window titled `Sinmai` is the actual game. It should pause on `Search for Distribution Servers`:
+
+    <img src="/img/maimaidx/setup/distribution_servers_check.png">
+
+!!! tip ""
+
+    Use the following keyboard controls `F1` = `Test/Enter` and `c` = `down` to do the following:
+
+    - Press `F1` to enter the service menu
+    - Press `c` a few times to navigate to `Game Settings` or `ゲーム設定` as shown below:
+
+    <img src="/img/maimaidx/setup/service_menu.png">
+
+    - Press `F1` to enter the menu. Press `c` to navigate to the top option and toggle to `OFF` using `F1`. You should see the following:
+
+    <img src="/img/maimaidx/setup/service_game_settings.png">
+
+    - Press `ESC` to exit. Close all associated windows including `CMD`, `AMDaemon`, and `Sinmai`. Relaunch with `start.bat` and the game should boot into guest mode.
+
+---
+
+### Connecting to a Network
+
+!!! 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.
+
+    <img src="/img/maimaidx/setup/access_code.png">
+
+??? 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.**
+
+    <img width="500" src="/img/maimaidx/setup/options.png">
+
+    !!! 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"
+

+
+### Controllers and Troubleshooting
+
+!!! info "Input methods and controllers are covered in the [Controllers](controllers.md) page."
+
+!!! warning "Have any other issues?"
+
+    Check out the [Troubleshooting](troubleshooting.md) and [Error Codes](../../../errorcodes/sega.md) pages.
