When you open up JConfig, disable DX Window Mode and set the DX Hertz to 60. You'll need to click Save after. This patches Taiko.exe... so if you don't save, those settings/fixes won't be applied to the exe. If you replace the Taiko.exe with one of the VSync patched ones, you'll also need to use JConfig and patch that file again. JConfig will only patch the file names Taiko.exe it seems. Fingers crossed that this is the issue! Good luck.

Could you maybe post your JConfig setup too?

What exactly is going on? Is there just a black screen? Does it just crash? Are there errors? The dongle will still throw a not authenticated error in the console, but it should still work with the patched files. I'd probably suggest deleting what you have and starting from scratch. Try extracting Taiko_Nijiiro.7z, then copy the files for JConfig, then try to start Taiko.exe and it should work. You'll probably need to use the NoVsync patched exe, but if you do those two steps correctly, the default Taiko.exe should at least run. It may run too slow depending on your setup, but then you can just use the NoVSync patch.

If you're still having the dongle error, you either didn't download the 2 part zip file (if you only have Taiko_Nijiiro.7z, you don't have all of the required files), or if you did you didn't copy the JConfig files from TAIKO_2021_06_17.7z folder into the Executable/Release folder. There should be a bnusio.dll file that gets overwritten, and I believe this is what bypasses the dongle requirement.

Just wanted to confirm the Switch HORI tatacon does work for me in XInput mode (doesn't work with DInput for me) and that the Taiko Force Lv5 works perfectly as well. I didn't have any crashes using XInput.

Just fixed this too lol. Switched from my headset to my main audio output and it works like a charm! Posting this in case someone else runs into the same thing.

I figured out the speed issue. If you're running your resolution higher than 1080p, you'll need to set it to 1080p for it to run at normal speed. The only issue I'm having now is the sound is very "slow" and it's not synced with the video... Any help is appreciated

I've got the game running, but if I use the NoVSync version it runs way too fast. The VSync and regular exe's run way too slow. Anyone got a fix for this? I've patched the exe with JConfig as mentioned in the thread, but I haven't been able to fix this issue. It works, but it's unplayable for me.
