This page contains info on data for the game Taiko no Tatsujin 2.

The Chart Format

This section documentates the format used to store Taiko no Tatsujin 2‍ '​s charts. It might have also been used by the first game, but this currently cannot be confirmed, as that game has not been dumped yet. All values are in little endian, and are 4 bytes long.

Header

Taiko 2's chart format always starts with 16 11 00 00. This doesn't appear to mean anything, and is purely there for heading purposes.
It is immediately followed by a parameter which determines the song's offset; a rough equivalent in seconds can be achieved by multiplying this value by 0.016715113.

Measure Metadata

There aren't many parameters in the measure metadata region, specially compared to the chart format introduced in the next game. They are as follows:

  • Tempo - Sets the speed in which a measure scrolls. A rough equivalent in BPM can be achieved by dividing 14400 by this value, then multiplying the result by 0.997101631.
If this value is set to FF FF FF FF, it marks the end of the chart data.
  • Advanced branch quota - Sets a value in points that the player must obtain in order to enter the Advanced branch in that measure.
  • Master branch quota - Sets a value in points that the player must obtain in order to enter the Master branch in that measure.
If a measure has no branch transitions, the values of both parameters are set to FF FF FF FF.

Notes Section

The notes section is divided in six parts, each being 0xC0 bytes long. They are as follows:

  • 1P Normal Branch
  • 2P Normal Branch
  • 1P Advanced Branch
  • 2P Advanced Branch
  • 1P Master Branch
  • 2P Master Branch

Each 4 bytes in this 0xC0 length is reserved for a type of note, but only the first one is ever filled in. Considering each measure consists of four beats, it means Taiko 2's chart format supports the following kinds of notes: 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, 24th, 48th. Each of these note values are as follows:

  • 0x00 - Empty
  • 0x01 - Small Don (ドン)
  • 0x05 - Small Don (ド)
  • 0x09 - Small Don (コ)
  • 0x0D - Small Ka (カッ)
  • 0x11 - Small Ka (カ)
  • 0x15 - Big Don
  • 0x16 - Drumroll Area

After the notes section ends, another measure metadata section immediately follows.
