**This guide should ONLY be used as a last resort if all other methods fail.**
|
|
**It has a high chance of breaking your game, make backups.**
|

|
### Preamble
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
We're going to patch Beatmania IIDX 25 CANNON BALLERS, however the process is similar for other BEMANI games.
|
|
|
|
Here's what you'll need:
|
|
|
|
- Your favorite hex editor, here we'll be using [HxD](https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/).
|
|
- A clean copy of your desired BEMANI game.
|
|
- A backup of your original `.dll` before editing.
|
|
|

|
|
### Getting Started
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
Decide on what hex edits you want to apply, you may find that information from the community or our [Resources](../resources.md).
|
|
|
|
It's time to open our hex editor. If you're using HxD, you'll be greeted with the screen below.

|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
Open your game's `.dll` file in the hex editor.
|
|
|
|
For the grand majority of hex edits, this is the main game file, such as `bm2dx.dll`, `soundvoltex.dll`, etc..
|
|
|
|
Pictured below, we've opened up `bm2dx.dll` inside HxD.

|
!!! danger "Attention"
|
|
|
|
The edit we'll be applying is **EXCLUSIVE to this version of the game** and serves as an example.
|
|
|
|
This means it will not work on any other version of the game, nor any other game!
|
|
Hex edits modify specific memory addresses that only apply to very specific game versions.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
We'll be editing our game to `Unlock All Songs` and its edit is:
|
|
|
|
- **Offset**: `0xB60B2`
|
|
- **Original**: `74 10`
|
|
- **Modified**: `90 90`
|
|
|
|
In HxD we're going to hit `Ctrl+G` to open the `Goto` window.
|
|
|
|
From here, we'll input the offset `B60B2` in the `Offset` section as shown below, and hit `OK`.
|
|

|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
Our cursor should be taken to the offset at the exact location you want to edit.
|
|
|
|
As you can see, the numbers in front of the cursor are `74` and `10` which corresponds to what we need to replace.
|
|
|
|
**If there's a mismatch, it's likely the offset you've put in was wrong, so be sure to double check!**
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
Now all we need to do is select `74 10` and replace it with `90 90`.
|
|
|
|
You can do this by either manually typing `90 90` or by copy and pasting.
|
|
|
|
It should now look as shown below.

|
|
|
|
Lastly, simply save your file and repeat these steps for any other edits you want to apply!
|
|
|
|
If at any point your game has issues due to your edits, restore your backup. |
