Bandai Namco Game Configuration Instructions ​

TIP

  • Almost all Bandai Namco games can use the Bandai Namco native reader protocol.
  • Taiko no Tatsujin supports both the Bandai Namco native reader protocol and CardIO.

Bandai Namco Native Protocol (Example with Taiko no Tatsujin) ​

If your game uses bnusio.dll, you need to configure it in config.toml.

  1. Open config.toml, find the card_reader parameter under [emulation], and change it to:

    toml
    card_reader = false
  2. Refer to Reader Port Configuration, set the reader port to COM1, and restart your computer to ensure the setting takes effect.

  3. Start the game.

CardIO Protocol ​

WARNING

  • Only Taiko no Tatsujin is supported.
  • This is limited to the HINATA Standard Edition and HINATA Lite with the feature unlocked.
  • The card number read in this mode differs from the card number obtained through the Bandai Namco native protocol.
  1. Download cardio.dll from the following link:
    https://github.com/AkaiiKitsune/tal-cardreader/releases/download/0.1.0/cardio.dll

  2. Place the downloaded cardio.dll into this folder in the game directory:

  3. Start the game.
