beatmania IIDX 30 RESIDENT
!!! info "Last updated: June 7th, 2024"
!!! danger "Please make sure you downloaded your data from an appropriate source.
This guide is unable to troubleshoot any problems related to bad or poorly managed data."
About data
!!! 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 30 Resident` it typically is `LDJ-003`.
Two versions of the game exist:
- **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.
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.
??? 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 section."
Updating data
??? danger "Please make sure you're using the right update for your current data."
Patches re-uploaded by the community tend to be named `LDJ-DATECODE-to-DATECODE`.
For example `LDJ-2022120800-to-2023090500`.
- `2022120800` being your current data's version.
- `2023090500` being the version you would arrive at.
!!! 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.yml` 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">B</spec>
<rev __type="str">A</rev>
<ext __type="str">2023090500</ext>
</soft>
```
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.

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 section."
Patches
!!! info "As of writing, web patching is recommended for IIDX 30 Resident as opposed to spice2x patching."
Spice2x patching is fairly new and the game's latest releases are prioritized for conversion.
For now use [Mon's BemaniPatcher](https://mon.im/bemanipatcher/iidx30resident.html), more info can be found in the [web patching](../../extras/patchweb.md) page.
!!! danger "As a general rule of thumb, if you're not sure what a patch does or you're not absolutely certain you need it, leave it alone, regardless of recommendations below."
??? tip "General patches"
| Patch | Recommendation | Description |
|-----------------------------------------------|---------------- |-------------|
| 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.
<img src="/img/iidx30-31/setup/6_network.png">
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.
