The most non-elegant way of making Maimai Deluxe playable on Maimai Finale Cabinet on Rust.

Setup

TBD

About

How does it work?

It takes inputs from Cabinet Touchscreen /JVS/NFC reader COM Ports, modifies it in the way that Deluxe can understand and sends it to other virtual COM ports (via com0com or other programs) that game will read.

Touchscreen difference

If you played both Finale and Deluxe version, you know that Deluxe have new additional touch zones as well as a new game mechanic - touch notes.

Here is the difference between Finale (on the left) and Deluxe (on the right)

Since the layout is pretty much the same, we simply mapped new zones to the closest existing ones. E.g., if you press B1, the E1 and E2 will also activate. Same with A and D zones.

Why keyboard emulation with JVS?

I just didn't figure out how to make Deluxe read from JVS COM port.

In theory, it uses a combination of COM4 and \\.\mxjvs, but the game never send anything to these ports.

If you know how to solve this, please make a PR or DM me on Discord
