Hello !

Can someone help me please, when I launch it, it shows a white screen and then close itself even if I follow every step !

I'm currently using windows 11, does this has something to do with that ? 

Could be, but you did not mention your gpu most arcade games only run correctly on a NVIDIA GPU

Some people have troubles with older games on new GPU's like RTX series

Oh, I have an Intel UHD Graphics 600. But it's weird because I can run pop'n 21 without problem ! If it's the issue, is there a way to fix it please ?

pop'n 21

Is a 2012 game

Pop'n 26 is a 2015 game and a lot can change (hardware wise) in a few years

So, "my guess is", newer games will not run on your Intel IGPU

Okay, just some news (sorry, I losted the files somewhere but found them today), I guess you were right 'cause I've just tried it on my other computer and it works perfectly thanks for the help anyway ! :)

But I have some question : Is there a way to limit the fps (I have a 144Hz screen in the game is playing like x2) and did someone figured out how to use a virtual card (for saving, unlocking songs... ect) ?

Try to at least upload the log.txt so someone can check what's causing the issue.

you need a E drive and F drive for run Pop'n music games

 

you can use an USB key with E letter for drive

 

or better :

make a virtual drive

create a folder E (in C:\\ for exemple)

and add this line in your gamestart.bat

 

subst E: C:\E

I ran into the same issue, however I figured out the solution!! You either have to make yourself .bat script or open CMD/powershell, navigate to the folder and type "spice.exe -w"  Open spicecfg.exe, go to Options tab and set Windowed mode enabled, which will launch the game in windowed mode and will then work. No need for E or F drive, the crack looks like already counts on that and there is a folder named as such.

 

As for english patch. In "content/data/tex/system26" are these .ifs files:

card_j.ifs

cmn_j.ifs

gameover_j.ifs

matching_j.ifs

ms.ifs

ms_match_j.ifs

option_j.ifs

result_j.ifs

title_cmn_j.ifs

title_j.ifs

tutorial_j.ifs

 

These files I named hold the majority of text you encounter (imo, I went over all the menus i could find and it looks as such) and with ifstools can be nicely unpacked and repacked. If anyone has some spare time (and preferably knows japanese) could you try to translate? It doesnt have to be super pretty, just erase the text and replace with english equivalent (and somewhat decent font). Otherwise I will do it using google translate *someday* when i feel like it.   

 

EDIT:

I did it myself a long time ago. It is horrible but at least if you didn't know what all the buttons do now you know. Just merge it with "data" folder of the game.

 

data.rar

https://remywiki.com/AC_pnm_Kaimei_riddles

 

After consulting wiki I can safely say Im as confused as you are. The update adds *something* but Im unable to make any connection to the filenames as I can do with just the base files. However if I have to guess, it probably adds the unlockable songs from the last few events. They probably are not unlocked by default after the event finished (after a certain amount of time that is). You might want to try to patch unlock all songs:

 

https://elpis.fun/gamepatcher/popn26kaimeiriddles.html

 

Edit:

You probably need intermediate update too: http://teknoparrot.link.free.fr/Liens/enattente/liens/Popnmusic26.html The latest one is too small to actually contain anything song data.

 

Edit 2:

So I did the digging for you as I also wanted to update.

 

1.Download the intermediate update from edit 1. Unzip, replace files.

2. Download the latest update from the discord link, unzip, replace files.

3. Take the popn22.dll from the MODULES folder (not the one thats in the root directory!!!!! IMPORTANT) and patch it here https://elpis.fun/gamepatcher/popn26kaimeiriddles.html with UNLOCK ALL SONGS and other patches you might want. and download the patched file. THE PATCHER SHOULD SHOW YOU  [2022-06-13 14 of 14 patches matched (100%)] if it shows something else you did it wrong.

4. replace the popn22.dll in the ROOT of the game files (where spice.exe lives) with the patched file.

5. Enjoy.

 

Its convoluted but it for whatever reason works like this. Also my English patch now works only partially. But all main gameplay related text should still be translated.

I'm curious about an option in the Test Menu & was wondering if anyone knows what it does.   It's any option called  "Pop'n Music Card"  that's found under the "Game Options" menu.

 

It's off by default.    If I turn it on & try to start the game - I just get an error message telling me to go back into Test Menu and turn it off.    I'm just wondering what this does.  I'm guessing it provides some functionality at arcades in Japan & maybe Asia.    I tried to find out via Google but I just get a bunch of results referencing the collectible cards with the Pop'n characters.

My guess it probably is related to those collectible cards, maybe a toggle for if the machine is to dispense them or not.. don't quote me on it though!

 

Also, is there no data public for the new game, Unilab, yet? Or is it too soon? I wanna play it, the science theme is cute.

hello! I installed the update correctly and patched popn22.dll so now I have version 2022-06-13, but the scores cannot be saved, the rest such as the character and player lvl have no problem, it is only with the score of the songs.
I don't know if it's something related to the game or asphyxia.
If someone could help me I would be very grateful

 

EDIT: I fix it, i just updated the asphyxia plugin with the link in "community plugins".

There is another web online patcher, in case someday the one you posted become outdated or deleted: https://mon.im/bemanipatcher/

 

I'm also having problems with my 2022061300 english translation.

If I patch the game (to unlock everything, remove timers, etc) some of the text turns back to japanese. It's annoying having to choose between a patched game or a full translated one. Should I patch the base game THEN apply the translation, or I must apply the translation first and THEN patch the game?

I don't know if any way would make a difference 😕

I guess it has something to do with one of the popn22.dll files overwriting another in the process. Maybe I could edit the file using Hex Editor or something, to keep the full english translation? I dunno how that editor works anyway...

No there isn't and probably won't be released any time soon, please read this to understand why:

I'm definitely missing some context to understand this or why this would be an issue preventing data from being released, I'm sorry.

If the gist of it is basically, it'll be released in a year or so, then whatever. More songs will release over that time.

Its possible that the update replaces some of the files as it was made for the older version. The english translation i made is not full by any means, a lot is still in japanese because of either laziness or that i couldnt find the the files. Song names are and will not be translated, i know there are some things that i missed and so on and so on. Only the most important things (like sorting categories etc are). game modifiers (speed and so on) are still in japanese. I suggest using the english patch as a crutch and then just go by muscle memory.

 

Also you dont really need any of the patches from the patcher except unlock all songs. anything else either works outright or can be adjusted in test menu or unlocked through gameplay.

I'm pretty sure what I did was apply the English patch first & then patch the dll with the online patcher options.

 

Some of the gameplay elements are still in Japanese but I'm still overall satisfied with the results.
