SpiceTools Alpha

Ainsley's preferred toolkit.

http://i.imgur.com/TsCeopY.png

This tool allows you to run several Konami games on your PC.
It's an early version which is missing several things, for example analog controls aren't configurable yet.

SpiceTools currently consists just of spice(64).exe, so you can keep your game data original and clean.
Many game dumps have kbt.dll/kld.dll obfuscated or missing, in this case you can use the replacement DLLs below.

Game Support

Sound Voltex
Beatmania IIDX (Tricoro or newer)
Jubeat
Reflec Beat
Dance Evolution
Beatstream
More to come...


Comes in 32bit and 64bit builds.

Sound Voltex

Full feature support.

Currently working best with a DJDAO SVSE5 with Copal encoders (because that's what i'm testing it with).
Turbochargers are not supported currently, because HID controller support is still in the works.

Keyboard play should be perfectly working. If you dont want to use the mouse for the knobs, you can make use of native knob emulation, which works just as it works in Keyshoot-Mania.

Jubeat

This makes use of the SpiceTools Touch™ module, which makes you able to play any version of the game just fine with both mouse and HID compliant touch devices on Windows 7 or newer.
The Dell ST2240T touch screen seems to work well, especially the new 2017 revision.
Card insert button available and enabled by default.
Touch the area to insert a card in attract mode.

Reflec Beat

Including emulation of the real IR touch screen device so the game should just act like the real one.
This makes use of the SpiceTools Touch™ module, which makes you able to play any version of the game just fine with both mouse and HID compliant touch devices on Windows 7 or newer.
The Dell ST2240T touch screen seems to work well, especially the new 2017 revision.
Card insert button available and enabled by default.
For this game it's not visible in fullscreen but still works just as fine.
Touch the area to insert a card in attract mode.

E-Amusement Cards

By default reads from card0.txt (P1) and card1.txt (P2) files in the game folder.
For the keypad both the top row and numpad keys should work.
Insert the card with backspace or numpad plus.
Toggle P1/P2 with the numlock key.

Coins

There's a coin emulation working for most games.
Press F1 to insert a single coin.
Some games have an additional/different coin key.

It is planned, that once the configuration is done, you can specify your options there, so you don't have to deal with custom batch scripts all the time.
