TaikoSuite simulation

[RedXXX]

Ok, so you may have seen the thread about asking for a Taiko simulator. Well we now have one to use, the only downside to it.... theres no instructions. This seems to be made in Hong Kong so there is probabaly little to no support on it beacuse there was only one download site that still had this available.

You can download the latest version I could find from here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/2306843/ts30b2.rar.html

I am now trying to figure how to use this as well so bear with me while I try to get this to do something. And you can also help get this up and running as well so we can have some sort of simulator that we all have been wanting to see.

Post any accomplishments/bugs/whatever you find.

I just got done playing with it a little:

tsc.exe - TaikoSuite Composer
Used to create *.6ts (TaikoSuite Standard Score Generation) files. These aren't what you use in the simulator and is only the score file.

To create a new score file, go to File > New. From there go to Edit > Score > Add Bars > Before current bar. Fill in the information and then hit OK. You can load a BGM by going to Edit > Background song > Load.

Go to the Test player menu and press Start test to display the score area at the bottom. Use the Available note types window to select the different hit types and click the bars in the New score window. To clear ones you've placed, use Clear in the Available note types menu. Output the file using File > Export > TaikoSuite Time Axis Generator 6 so you can load it up in the emulator.

There are other options available here but I haven't played with them yet.


tsdemo.exe - TaikoSuite Demonstrator
Used to autoplay the *.6ta file exported from TaikoSuite Composer. The options are pretty easy to understand so I won't go into those.


tssemu.exe - TaikoSuite Simplified Emulator
Same as TaikoSuite Demonstrator except you play it.
Controls:
4/8 - Katsu
R/U - Don
S/D - Bell?


recorder.exe - TaikoSuite Recorder
Used to record the *.6ta file and the BGM together. Records as the song is being played. Easy to understand.


mix.exe - TaikoSuite Mixer
Same as Taikosuite Recorder except it outputs the file without recording it. Crashed on me so I don't know what the output sounds like.


disass.exe - TaikoSuite Disassembler
Reads *.6ts files and displays the information found in that file as hex. I don't think this would be very useful to most people.


cvt.exe - Batch Convertor
Converts *.4ts and *.5ts files to *.6ts files so they can be played and edited in the new version of TaikoSuite.


asmmngr.exe - TaikoSuite Assemblies Version
Displays the version and name for all of the *.dlls and *.exes included in TaikoSuite.


bt.exe - Beat Tools
Used to help find the BPM of songs.


I hope this helps.

...Now I just need to figure out how to rip charts from Taiko...

See, things like that I dont have the patientce nor the know how to think of things like this. Thanks. Now something may actually be made of this little gem I found.

[word]

yeah thanks alot RedXXX

EDIT: Could someone upload the files onto another host thing? i'm having difficulty getting it from rapidshare

Remember to keep adding bars for each new measure. I wish I could set when in the song the notes actually start, because there is a fade-in in a song I want to use, and this programs thinks its part of the song. I want to start it right on the downbeat.

EDIT: I found out how. Edit > Score > Start Time. To find the start time, place a Don or whatever note wher you want the song to start, and wherever that is, look for the "Time at cursor" thing above the notechart. Thats the number you enter.

EDIT2: Im making a song right now, the first song on my MySpace page. Its gonna be awesome.

I have the audio ripped from the earlier games. Feel free to request something and I'll see if I can find it.

Here's 夏祭り (my favorite in the game). http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TM8P99SX

If you could rip just the Namco Originals from all the games, that would be fine. I hope you have Taiko Portable 2 because KITASAITAMA2000 is one of the coolest songs. If not, you can wait till Taiko 7 for PS2 in December.
Once I get home, I'll post a video of my donchart (I call it donchart because its Taiko) of "ROTTELER'S HOME CARTOON", which looks really cool.

Aha, here we are, my first Taiko chart made:

No, I don't have Taiko no Tatsujin Portable 2.

Do you have a list of the Namco Originals? I'm not sure of all of them by name. I think I have everything from the first 3 games (or so) so please keep the requests to those games for now.

Ew, the first 3? You are really missing some good songs from like 6 games past that.

Here are songlists for some games:

Taiko 5:

Taiko Drum Master (Japanese Version)
http://hk.geocities.com/mosquitopang...005/csdm.htm?2
And I STRESS on Japanese version. Not the US one.

Taiko Tobikkiri! Anime Special:
http://hk.geocities.com/mosquitopang...005/csa2.htm?2

Taiko 6:
http://hk.geocities.com/mosquitopang...2005/cs6.htm?2

(Unreleased) Taiko 7:
http://hk.geocities.com/mosquitopang...042005/cs7.htm

The Namco Originals are the songs with "ナムコオリジナル" (read as namukoorijinaru) as the genre (or just the last set in the list).

Oh and if you could also get the Game Music rips from Taiko 6 also? It's the genre right above Namco Originals ("ゲームミュージック", read as geemu myuujikku).

I know but their compression is throwing me off.

I don't understand this... You arent getting good quality when you record from PS2 to PC? Do you use line-in and Audacity?

[Panda]

No no, I'm ripping it directly from the disc.

Here's one Namco Original I can find (the Genji one). http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0CJBOWRK

Edit: Here's another song. I'm not sure of the name but I like it. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QRQC6WI4
