|
|
### About data
|
|
|
|
!!! info "The full game should be around 100gb while updates are only around 2-5gb in size."
|
|
|
|
!!! info "Standard (LDJ) / Lightning (TDJ)"
|
|
|
|
Please keep the following in mind as you're going through this guide.
|
|
|
|
IIDX's codename is `LDJ`. For `IIDX 31 Epolis` this would be either:
|
|
|
|
- `LDJ-010` *(TDJ, Lightning cab, 120 FPS)*
|
|
- `LDJ-012` *(LDJ, Standard cab, 60 FPS)*
|
|
|
|
The main difference between `010` and `012` is the game's main `.dll` file, `bm2dx.dll`.
|
|
|
|
This changes which features the game offers, and which conditions the game expects to run under.
|
|
|
|
- **TDJ** expects a `120hz` compatible monitor for its main screen, and a second `60hz` touchscreen compatible monitor called a subscreen. The second monitor isn't mandatory, we can get around that using spice2x.
|
|
- **LDJ** expects `60hz` monitor for its main screen, and no subscreen.
|
|
|
|
We'll be using the terms **TDJ** for **Lightning**, and **LDJ** for **Standard** throughout the guide.
|
|
|
|
!!! danger "If you're coming from IIDX 30 Resident"
|
|
|
|
You'll want to [update your data](#updating-data) **from** `LDJ-003` **to** `LDJ-010` **or** `LDJ-012` **FIRST** then follow this guide as normal.
|
|
|
|

|
|
### Preparing data
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
After downloading and extracting your data, we need to make sure your files aren't 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 with a few folders only, as follows.
|
|
|
|
<img src="/img/iidx30-32/setup/2_iidxdata.png">
|
|
|
|
??? warning "If your data doesn't look like this"
|
|
|
|
If you're missing the `modules` folder and instead have bunch of `.dll` files next to your folders:
|
|
|
|
- Create a `modules` folder.
|
|
- Move all `.dll` files inside of it so you end up with a structure as shown above.
|
|
|
|
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.**
|
|
|
|
!!! info "If you don't need to update your data, you can skip over to the [Installing Spice2x](#installing-spice2x) section."
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
### Updating data
|
|
|
|
??? danger "Please make sure you're using the right update for your current data."
|
|
|
|
As we've seen in the [About data](#about-data) section, the main difference between `LDJ` and `TDJ` is the `bm2dx.dll` file.
|
|
When updating from a previous version to the next, our current `.dll` will be overwritten.
|
|
|
|
Knowing that, patches re-uploaded by the community tend to be named `LDJ-DATECODE-to-LDJ-010/012-DATECODE`.
|
|
**Note**: If updating from `IIDX 30 Resident`, it will be `LDJ-003-DATECODE-to-LDJ-010/012-DATECODE`.
|
|
|
|
For example `LDJ-2024032500-to-LDJ-010-2024050700`.
|
|
|
|
- `2024032500` being your current data's version, no matter if it's using a TDJ or LDJ `.dll` file.
|
|
- `2024050700` being the version you would arrive at.
|
|
- `010` meaning you would end up with a `TDJ` *(Lightning Cab)* `bm2dx.dll` file.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
- Extract your patch's files to your existing data in a way that matches its file structure. Agree to overwrite files if necessary.
|
|
- Open `prop\ea3-config.xml` in a text editor and find the following lines near the top.
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<soft>
|
|
<model __type="str">LDJ</model>
|
|
<dest __type="str">J</dest>
|
|
<spec __type="str">E</spec>
|
|
<rev __type="str">A</rev>
|
|
<ext __type="str">2024050700</ext>
|
|
</soft>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On the line with `<spec __type="str">` the letter needs to match your data type:
|
|
|
|
- ^^`E`^^ for Standard (LDJ-012, LDJ, 60hz)
|
|
- ^^`D`^^ for Lightning (LDJ-010, TDJ, 120hz)
|
|
|
|
Replace the letter accordingly if necessary.
|
|
|
|
On the line with `<ext __type="str">` the datecode needs to match your new version.
|
|
|
|
- If that's already the case then great! Don't touch anything.
|
|
- If it instead corresponds to our pre-patch datecode, replace it with the new one.
|
|
|
|
Now save the file.
|
|

|
### Installing Spice2x
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
- Head over to [spice2x.github.io](https://spice2x.github.io) and download the latest release.
|
|
- Extract the `spice64.exe` and `spicecfg.exe` files from the archive to your game's directory.
|
|
|
|
<img src="/img/iidx30-32/setup/4_spicedata.png">
|
|
|
|
### Configuring Spice2x
|
|
|
|
!!! info "Open `spicecfg.exe`, each following sub-section corresponds to a tab at the top."
|
|
|
|
#### Buttons
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
Click on `Bind` then press the key you want associated with the action.
|
|
|
|
With your controller and/or keyboard plugged in, configure your keys for:
|
|
|
|
- **Maintenance**: `Service, Test`
|
|
- **P1 Game buttons**: `1 to 7, Start, EFFECT, VEFX`
|
|
- **P1 Keypad**: `Keypad Insert Card`
|
|
|
|
**Only if** you're using LDJ:
|
|
|
|
- **P1 Keypad**: `1 to 9`
|
|
|
|
**Only if** you're playing using a keyboard:
|
|
|
|
- **Turntable**: `TT+, TT-` **and optionally** `TT+/-` which alternates between `TT+` and `TT-` on each press.
|
|
|
|
#### Analogs (controller/cab only)
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
With a controller rather than binding buttons to `TT+` and `TT-`, you need to:
|
|
|
|
- For Turntable P1, click `Bind`.
|
|
- In `Device`, pick your controller.
|
|
- In `Control`, pick whichever one corresponds to the turntable.
|
|
- Turn your turntable ensuring that the Preview turns along with it.
|
|
- Click `Close`, leaving the rest of the settings alone.
|
|
|
|
#### Overlay
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
Modifying buttons in this section is not required but you are free to change what you want.
|
|
|
|
Click on `Bind` then press the key you want associated with the action.
|
|
|
|
#### Lights (controller/cab only)
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
Your controller might support having its lights controlled by the game through spice2x.
|
|
|
|
If it does, here's how you may link different actions to your lights:
|
|
|
|
- Click `Bind`.
|
|
- In `Device`, pick your controller.
|
|
- In `Light Control`, select the corresponding light.
|
|
- Click `Close`.
|
|
- Repeat for your other lights.
|
|
|
|
#### Cards

|
!!! info "Covered in the [Connecting to a network](#connecting-to-a-network) section."
|
|
|
|
#### Patches
|
|
|
|
!!! info "First go through the [Spice2x Patching](../../extras/patchsp2x.md) page to import patches."
|
|
|
|
!!! danger "If not using ASIO, you NEED to patch `Force Audio Output Mode` to `WASAPI` otherwise the game won't boot."
|
|
|
|
??? tip "Other patches that may be useful to you"
|
|
|
|
Note: As a general rule of thumb, the fewer patches the better. If you're unsure what something does, don't enable or change it.
|
|
|
|
| Patch | Recommendation | Description |
|
|
|-----------------------------------------------|---------------- |-------------|
|
|
| Force TDJ Mode | Either | Starts the game in TDJ (010) mode when using a LDJ (012) `.dll` file. Use this instead of forcing 120Hz using other patches. |
|
|
| Standard/Menu Timer Freeze | Either | Freezes the timer in all non-premium environments. |
|
|
| Premium Free Timer Freeze | Either | Freezes the timer in Premium Free mode. |
|
|
| Cursor Lock | Either | In song select, always returns to the previously selected song. |
|
|
| CS-style Song Start Delay | Either | At the start of a song, holding Start will pause it until you release it. |
|
|
| Increase Game Volume | Either | Ignores in-game settings and keeps the volume at a maximum, helpful for `TDJ` which tends to be quiet. |
|
|
| Hide all bottom text | Either | Hides text at the bottom of the screen such as `Credits` or `Paseli`. |

### Connecting to a network
|
|
|
|
!!! danger "Please choose one of the two solutions, not both!"
|
|
|
|
??? tip "Remote (Online Network)"
|
|
|
|
Open `spicecfg.exe` and head to the `Options` tab.
|
|
|
|
In the `Network` category, set the following settings:
|
|
|
|
- `EA Service URL` to the URL provided by your network.
|
|
- `PCBID` to the PCBID provided by your network.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Next you need a card number.
|
|
If you don't already have one, generate one in the `Cards` tab.
|
|
To keep your card number safe, create a new `.txt` file with ONLY it inside.
|
|
|
|
Once that's done, head to the `Cards` tab, for `Player 1` click `Open...` and point to your text file.
