The Bongo Circle: A Konga Beat Forum

Howdy folks! With this release, I wanted to make a concerted effort to hunt down and address as many bugs and quality of life issues as possible. The end result is a pretty significant update that should make Konga Beat much more stable and easier to use. I will do a more proper write-up of the...

Earlier today, Unity notified developers of a severe vulnerability in the Unity runtime. It affects any game or application built with Unity since Unity 2017.1. To address the issue, I have rolled out Konga Beat 1.0.5. This updated version of Konga Beat only contains the Unity runtime...

Updated the beta build to include the following changes Added an option in the Settings menu to set the path to Konga Launcher (General > Settings > Konga Launcher Path). Updated "Play Now" to start Konga Launcher if it is not open already. Updated file explorer system to improve the user...

Hey folks! I've been working on the next big update to Konga Beat. There are some pretty substantial changes included with this update, so I'll be spending the next couple of weeks hunting for bugs and UX issues in lead up to the release. If you are interested in testing it out and giving your...

Looks like the page was approved! 🥳 Thanks for putting it together @Banana_Joe

Give it a shot when you have the time and let me know how it goes! It should remove whatever offset you're seeing.

Nice! I'll add a link to the page in one of the upcoming updates to the site.

Woohoo! I'm happy to hear everything is working as expected now. Also, there's no need to apologize! You didn't cause any trouble. In fact, your feedback and reports have been a huge help. Thank you for your patience during this period and willingness to try out the fixes I rolled out. 😊

The latest versions of Konga Beat and Konga Launcher are now live! Here’s a quick rundown of what’s available today and a preview of what’s coming next: Out Now Konga Beat 1.0.4 - Windows (Download) [Patch Notes] This update includes another set of bug fixes that may impact some users as...

I'm glad this editor exists. I remember finding Rainbow way back in ~2019 and being disappointed it could only read .nut files, not write them out. This is a super helpful tool for modding Konga 2 and 3, so I'll sticky this thread. 😊

Updated version of Konga Launcher is up! This should address the freezing issue you're experiencing. Konga Launcher 0.9.2b2

I'm really glad to hear the other bugs have been fixed! I was able to reproduce the issue you're running into now, so I should have a fix for that shortly. You are correct that this is an issue with Konga Launcher, not Konga Beat. Thank you for your patience working through these bugs! Your...

I figured out the issue: for whatever reason Shift JIS is included as an encoding option by default within the Unity Editor, but not as part of games/apps built with Unity. I originally included a check for Shift JIS to try accounting for this scenario. However, when that check happens, Unity...

After some investigation, I identified a couple of candidates that may be contributing to the issues you're experiencing. After closing all your current Konga-related windows (Konga Beat, Konga Launcher, and Dolphin), try running this version of the editor and let me know if you're still running...

Ah, dang. I'm sorry you're running into so much trouble! I'll look into this after I fix the tempo marker bug.

That's really strange! I haven't been able to reproduce this yet, but I'm looking into it. In the meantime, would you be open to sharing your log? That might give me some insight into what's causing the freezing. If you're open to it, your log (Player.log) should be located here: C:\Users\{YOUR...

I uploaded the updated builds of Konga Beat and Konga Launcher with proper Shift JIS encoding here: Konga Beat 1.0.4 / Konga Beat 1.0.4 (Installer) Konga Launcher 0.9.2 (Windows Installer) I'll also be pushing out these updates to itch.io either tonight or tomorrow.

I've definitely seen retail charts use some funky offsets to line up correctly with the audio. It appears they're set using a combination of the sysex property in the midi file and offset field in SongInfo.res. I wrote a little bit about what I believe each part of the sysex means in the Konga...

Very cool! I love seeing the custom stages.

Konga Beat uses a paid Unity plugin which currently prevents me from open sourcing the project. I would like to get around to making it open source eventually, but unfortunately haven't had the bandwidth. Regarding the second part, did someone run into issues with note drifting? I don't recall...
