Installation

To install mods is a bit tricky this time around as we have to take a few more steps to be able to inject files into the game. but if you want to follow along in text read on ahead.

Become an Xbox Insider, to do this open the Xbox Insider Hub which you can get from the Microsoft Store if you don't already have it installed. Go to Previews > Windows Gaming, and join it. There should be an update ready for you for the Xbox app, so go ahead and update and relaunch it
In the Xbox App go to Settings > General and enable Use advanced installation and management features. Feel free to change your installation directory
If the game is already installed uninstall it, and reinstall it
Download BepInEx_x64_XXXXX.zip, as of writing the latest version is 5.4.18. This is a mod to patch Unity Games
Go to where you installed your game, for example C:\XboxGames\T Tablet\Content
Paste all of the files from the .zip from step 5 into this folder (It will look something like this)
We now need to give special permissions to the BepInEx folder. To do this, right click it, click on Properties, go to the Security tab, Click on the Advanced button, Click Change at the top, Under Enter the object name to select field type in your username and click Check Names. If the text doesn't become underscored that means you have entered the incorrect username. Then press Ok on that window to dismiss it. Going back to the Advanced Security Settings Window tick Replace owner on subcontainers and objects then finally press Apply.
Run Taiko no Tatusjin The Drum Master once, then close it. This will generate some files
Look in your game's folder again, new files will have been generated under .\BepInEx\plugins
Extract the com.fluto.takotako folder from the download in step 10 and paste it into the .\BepInEx\plugins folder
And you're done!

Configuration

After installing the mod, and running the game it will generate files in .\BepInEx\config. Open com.fluto.takotako.cfg to configure this mod Here you can enable each individual feature or redirect where custom songs will be loaded from

Custom Songs

With this feature you can inject custom songs into the game! To begin place custom songs in SongDirectory specified in your configuration file, by default this is %userprofile%/Documents/TakoTako/customSongs Each song must have it's own directory with a unique name. These songs can be nested within folders.

The folder must have this structure:

Offical Songs
-- [MUSIC_ID]
---- data.json (this contains the metadata for the track)
---- song_[MUSIC_ID].bin (this is a raw .acb music file, this is a CRIWARE format)
---- [MUSIC_ID]_e.bin (all of these items below are unencrypted Fumens, which formats how the song is played)
---- [MUSIC_ID]_e_1.bin
---- [MUSIC_ID]_e_2.bin
---- [MUSIC_ID]_h.bin
---- [MUSIC_ID]_h_1.bin
---- [MUSIC_ID]_h_2.bin
---- [MUSIC_ID]_m.bin
---- [MUSIC_ID]_m_1.bin
---- [MUSIC_ID]_m_2.bin
---- [MUSIC_ID]_n.bin
---- [MUSIC_ID]_n_1.bin
---- [MUSIC_ID]_n_2.bin
---- [MUSIC_ID]_x.bin
---- [MUSIC_ID]_x_1.bin
---- [MUSIC_ID]_x_2.bin

TJA
