Game Setup

You must obtain clean, unmodified and complete data to proceed with our guides

Corrupted or incomplete files will cause unpredictable issues we can't cover.
TWO-TORIAL does not provide or distribute game data. Do not ask.

Preparing data

Ensure your game files are not marked as read-only:

  • Right click the directory containing your files
  • Click on Properties
  • Under the General tab, find Attributes and uncheck Read-only
  • Click Apply
  • When prompted, select Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files
  • Click OK to confirm, then OK again to close Properties

The complete game data should be approximately 2.7 GB.

Here's what the expected data structure should look like: 

📂data
📂dev
📂modules
📂prop

If your data does not look like this

If you have .dll files next to your data, prop, etc., folders:

  • Create a modules folder if it does not exist already
  • Move all .dll files into it

If extra directories or files are still present (executables, scripts, etc.), remove them.

This also indicates tampered data, we strongly recommend obtaining clean data from elsewhere.

Installing spice2x

If you already have spice2x installed, ensure you're using the latest version

  • Visit spice2x.github.io to download the latest release
  • Extract both spice64.exe and spicecfg.exe from the archive into your game's directory
📂data
📂dev
📂modules
📂prop
🌶️spice64.exe
🌶️spicecfg.exe
Additional steps for AMD and Intel graphics cards

Since KONAMI games are designed for NVIDIA GPU's, AMD and Intel users need additional files:

  • Locate the spice2x\stubs\64\ folder in the spice2x archive
  • Extract all .dll files from there into your game's modules folder

Configuring spice2x

Following tabs correspond to the ones found in spicecfg

Additional information is available at spice2x's wiki.

Avoid changing or patching anything you don't need or understand unless explicitly told to

This tab is used to bind your keyboard and controller buttons

Bind vs Naive

Bind - Use for controllers and hardware devices. More responsive and detects any HID device.
Naive - Use for device agnostic keyboard binds. Less responsive but works with simulated keystrokes.

Binding your buttons

Click on Bind or Naive 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, Start
  • Game buttons: Disk# Press (1 to 5), Foot Pedal
  • P1 Keypad: Keypad 0 to 9, Keypad Insert Card

Only if you play with a keyboard:

  • Disks: Disk#- (1 to 5), Disk#+ (1 to 5) (Disk#- is counter-clockwise, while Disk#+ is clockwise.)

Additional info

  • Use page navigation at the bottom to bind multiple buttons to the same input
  • Check Bind Many to bind multiple controls in sequence
  • Click Edit after binding for advanced options (invert, MIDI sensitivity, etc.)

This tab is used to bind analog controls like the disks

Ignore this tab if you play with a keyboard

Bind your controller's disks

With a controller, instead of binding your disks in the Buttons tab, you need to:

  • Click Bind
  • In Device, pick your controller
  • In Control, pick the control that updates the preview when turning the corresponding disk
  • Click Close, leaving the rest of the settings alone
  • Repeat for your other disks

This tab is used to bind keys to toggle spice2x and game-related overlays

Binding extra buttons here is optional, defaults are fine

Click on Bind or Naive then press the key you want associated with the action.

This tab allows you to configure controller lights to sync with the game

Not all controllers support this, but it does not affect gameplay and is completely optional.

  • Click Bind
  • In Device, pick your controller
  • In Light Control, select the corresponding light
  • Click Close
  • Repeat for your other lights

This tab lets you configure which cards are used to save your game profile to

If you own a physical e-amuse/FeliCa card and a compatible NFC card reader

Setup instructions vary depending on your specific reader model.

Navigate to the Advanced tab and scroll down to the NFC Card Readers section.
Browse the available options and hover over each one to view descriptions and configuration guidance.

There is no need for you to specify cards for either player in this tab when using a card reader.

If you don't, you can use a virtual card number instead

If you already have generated a card number before, you may use this one.

To generate a new card number for Player 1 or 2:

  • Click on Open...
  • Choose where to save your card number
  • Give it a file name (e.g. card0.txt)
  • Click save
  • Finally, click on Generate

This will automatically generate a valid card number for you and keep it in the file you specified.

Go through the spice2x Patching to import and pick patches

No need to change anything here

NVIDIA GPU users ONLY

Configuring Audio

Check out our general Audio guide to understand audio modes better, at least the TL;DR

This game only supports WASAPI Exclusive mode. Some audio devices may not support this

  • Open spicecfg.exe
  • At the very top, click on Shortcuts then Audio Playback Devices
  • In the popup window, right click on your default audio device, and click on Properties
  • Go to the Advanced tab
  • Check both boxes under Exclusive Mode
  • Open the Default Format dropdown
  • Pick the 16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality) option, click Apply then OK

Connecting to a network

Pick one or the other, not both!

Option 1: Remote (Online Network)

Remote networks typically require an invitation to join.
You'll need to connect with members of the community who can provide you with an invite.

Your network should provide you with the necessary information to proceed:

  • Open spicecfg.exe and head to the Options tab

Under the Network category, set the following settings provided by your network:

  • EA Service URL (-url)
  • PCBID (-p)

Option 2: Local e-amuse Emulator (Asphyxia)

For instructions on setting up Asphyxia, please refer to our Asphyxia setup guide.

After Asphyxia is setup with the proper plugin for your game:

  • Open spicecfg.exe and head to the Options tab
  • Under the Network category, set your EA Service URL (-url) to point to your asphyxia server, typically localhost:8083

Monitor Orientation

This game requires your main monitor to be set to Portait or Portait (flipped) mode

You will play in Portait mode (Recommended)
  • Right click on your Desktop
  • Select Display settings
  • Look for Display orientation and set it to Portrait or Portrait (flipped)
  • Rotate your monitor 90°
You cannot play in Portait mode

In this case, your only option is to:

  • Open spicecfg, go to the Options tab
  • Set the game to Windowed Mode (-w)
  • Set your desired Window Resolution (-windowsize) for the game

Installing VCRedist & DirectX

Download and install:

First launch

If you've followed all instructions correctly, you're finally ready to launch the game!

Run spice64.exe, press Yes when it asks for elevated privileges.

The game will go through a series of checks, let it run, if you've done everything properly they'll pass.

If you're seeing this screen, it means you need to press the Test button to initialize the game's backup data.

Once the game shows BACKUP DATA: INITIALIZED, restart the game.

You're all done! The game should load up properly now

MÚSECA PLUS

Since MÚSECA is no longer receiving official updates, community mods like MÚSECA PLUS exist to enhance the game with additional content and English translations
