Controllers

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.

segatools, by default, only accepts keyboard input and does not recognize any controllers. However, it can be configured with IO DLLs to add support for controllers.

The controller you plan on using should also be provided with these IO DLLs. If unsure, check the support section for your controller, or contact the vendor directly. Alternate options for the most common controllers are listed below.

These IO DLLs should be copied to your game's App\Package folder and referenced in segatools.ini under the [mai2io] section.

If you have a single DLL, uncomment the path= line by removing the leading semicolon (;), then add your DLL's file name after the =:

[mai2io]
; To use a custom maimai DX IO DLL enter its path here.
; Leave empty if you want to use Segatools built-in keyboard input.
;(1)!
path=controller.dll
  1. Note that there is no leading semicolon.

Keyboard/Touchscreen

Keyboard/Touchscreen is the default input method

The default layout uses QWEDCXZA for physical buttons (each key representing the physical button's location relative to the center screen)

If you wish to change the default keybinds, an explanation on how to set these is included above the [io4] section in your segatools.ini.

Touch input should automatically work after connecting a touch-screen display

ADX Controller

First, you will need to purchase a compatible monitor if your controller did not come with one. A list of compatible monitors can be found on this spreadsheet

Plug your controller in and open Device Manager.

Under the Ports (COM & LPT) section, ensure the correct ports are set for both the Touch Panel and Button LED.

  • (Touch Panel) USB Serial Device: COM3
  • (Button LED) USB-SERIAL CH340: COM21

If they are different change the port of the device by Right Clicking on the Device -> Properties -> Port Settings -> COM Port Number

Finally ensure the mai2.ini file in your data's App/Package folder has the following values set under the [AM] section

[AM]
Target=0
DummyTouchPanel=0
DummyLED=0

This gets your controller working with keyboard inputs. Its highly recommended that you also view this setup guide which provides more detailed instructions, improved drivers, and help with adjusting touch panel sensitivity.

Warning

You DO NOT need to follow the Network Setup steps in the linked guide above if you've already done so while setting up game data

You DO NOT need to follow the Aime Reader setup in the linked guide above if you do not own one.

Arcade hardware and other controllers

If you're interested in using a cabinet, or possibly even making your own controller, the Cons&Stuff website and Discord community is a great place to start!
