Where to Download Updates? â
The website here http://teknoparrot.link.free.fr/multi/Beatmania IIDX 28.html contains all the updates named according to the date. Unfortunately the listings is a bit messy and didnât really mention which series an update belongs to. To check that, download any pack and extract it, then upload the modules/bm2dx.dll
into bemani patcher website https://mon.im/bemanipatcher/. If it matches a series, it
For example, extracting LDJ-2021042600-2021070500
and upload bm2dx.dll
to the bemani patcher website for game beatmania 28
shows 100% match for the game.
If you want, you can check on options you want to activate and overwrite the one in modules/bm2dx.dll
file. For example, I usually check the following:
Omnimix â
There is an Omnimix pack for each Beatmania series, which includes all the BMS from previous Beatmania series. If you installed correctly, you should see a list of music list from the past series!

All Beatmania games require a e-Amusement Server to connect with when booting up the game. Luckily someone created an emulated version of it for us to use!
There are two ea-server that is used to support different beatmania version.
