P.I.U: Imperfect Collection

A smart and compact way to have all legacy PIU games in a single drive.
This project aims to run all the games from "1st dance floor" to "XX - 20th anniversary" on real and recent hardware.
LONG LIVE PUMP!

Project830 proudly announces "P.I.U: Imperfect Collection", being developed by Ckristian Duran (ckdur).

State of the development:

The first version was just an experiment, and is down already. Just for information, the last version was:

Imperfect Collection 1.0.4

January 2, 2025

Right now, developing another version that causes less problems.

Downloads

We are working now to bring you a downloadable version which can be installable into any HDD, and put the data of PIU in an automatic manner.
Will offer two versions:

Downloadable version: You could download this for free, and the licensing will be carried by you for a penny of price (couple of dollars).
Physical version: The swag version that already has the installation done into an HDD. With stickers and more amenities to show you have the coolest loader.

To keep up with updates, join our official discord channel: https://discord.gg/UNrsvGDeSj

Targets:

Lead a nice way for enthusiast people/collectors to enjoy legacy P.I.U. versions on current hardware, using genuine and reliable Operating System, with accurate translation layer of compatibility and security measures.
Avoid annoyances like having to carry a collection of a 50 pound box to just play one game (lmao), and also risking the integrity of originals.

Project830 have as his side, the most "recent" (known) and INTACT P.I.U. HDD dat (except some AM mistakes), gathered from different (and own) trusted sources, with the purpose of archive/collect, and also to run everything in real/modern hardware used by AM nowadays (as the capabilities of 2019 OS).
This project is only used for reference purposes. We have obtained this data legitimately, and we plan to not release it. The idea now is that, by having your own copies, you can make a back up of them in a nice, compact manner.

Reminder

The engine/game programs are ABSENT at the public release. The mentioned content is not intended to be copied into other environments, due it promotes piracy. The data you copy will be protected at some point, in order to keep the 1:1 to ensure a clear and real P.I.U. Experience. Ready for a BraveHeart (Team or LoneWolf) to M.P.G.A. (Make PIU Great Again) and making it shine again as its golden years.

Trivia:

This effort, is a love-letter to AM, attempting to reflect the potential of P.I.U. franchise throungh Decades.
Game data exists anywhere, and can be compiled in a single night, but it was impossible to be completed during 10+ years due the absence of people that ensure genuine and untouched content. We are against SM ripoffs, and don't indulge into poor copies under H.OS implementations. If you are going to get a MUCH-IN-1, let it be this one, as we guarantee the best of quality to enjoy all the legacy of P.I.U. during the last 25 years.

Please note that content may vary through timeline. Consistency of PIU data was a pain, and can be still being as the same. Anyways, all sets are plenty working, with enough tweaks to make a good experience.

Acknoledges and Calls of Justice:

Cheers to this bravehearts that allow this possible:

Team H.I.U. Heavy contributions to all the P.I.U. knowledge base from the Exc1 to F2, For the security implementation and tons of writeups.

TheSchaf - Icex2 Re-assembly the whole MK3 engines to be used on AM.

H4M573R/NTDEC For trust us his MK3 knowledge, all his drive collection, Project supervision and another bunch of undocumented writeups before he leaving NTDEC and the whole P.I.U scene

ESTRAYK/PARADOX Appreciating all his catchy Music tracks used for our menu selection.

ROMBANK0, For his Awesome PocketMod Driver, That allows to play old-sk00l tracks at the menu selection.

ROAD24, He knows why.

And all other handsome guys/gals (direct or derivative) that helped on this project, spent his precious time, documenting the inners, catching stuff and giving his knowledge to make this project even possible to conceive.

We call the name of justice into:

People blaming NTDEC and FukSm.gr for the charges of "PIRACY"
This group just lead to people the featuring to move his data from old drive into new one while AM doesnt care about it (even in current versions of his game) what is wrong with it?.

COPY-PASTA FROM H4M573R/NTDEC:
F2PLUS was a COVID hobby... nothin more. Please get over it. Period.

People claiming "community" while endorses "PIRACY".
We also realized that the same ones that cry "PIRACY" are the same ones that sell poor copies of SM or endorses the selling of bad units, such as H.OS made by "gatitos123". Fck off (with respect).
You are not driven by "PRESERVATION" and/or "COMMUNITY". You just want to (badly) reach free stuff without any kind of effort and plenty free,. as in free beer.
FREE STUFF is not GOOD STUFF.

People profiting with another's effort.
Profiting using another's effort, either the hackers who build any attempt of preservation, or Andamiro itself is wrong, and you should be ashamed of it. Hack this one! I dare you! I double dare you! You simply cannot! You need to ask either me, or B.S, or anyone that is willing to put years of effort. If anyone comes and actually reverse it, he won't be as fool as to giving all for free, and, if ever happens, let it know that we are always one step ahead of you. As for the hacker that attempts it, join us! I swear you will have a better quality of community compared to whatever those leechers offer.

Groups getting internet karma with another's effort.

People easily satisfied with poor quality.
If your are hunger of bad quality cracks is the one that drives you into this world, please leave. Bad quality replication of games is rejected universally, no matter what background you have. If you want to play your own songs, then fire up an SM, load it with piuio2key, and use Windows like every low-class player in this so-called "community". If you are wondering if we are clasists, we are not. Everyone is always welcome. But do not pretend that SM is a replacement of REAL AM games. SM is SM, and should be treated like that. Is a different topic if the game was made by SM, but look at Inf, PRO2, and PRO1. Those are AC adaptations that were endorsed by AM.

Project 830 (Team NTDEC & FukSM.gr Alliance) at 2018 Oct. 20. Never Forget.

Roadmap:

Perform the translation layer for data to be transmitted. The initial release contained the data already inside, and we realized that this is wrong and not justified. We stand by our principle that we shall offer a way to preserve PIU historia during the times. Unfortunately, we cannot release the data, not even in a protected manner, so the next version will be only the translation layer and utilities such as you can plugin your preserved data and securely save it in a protected manner.
More support for streamers and tournaments. The initial support contains a method to push and pull press status of the PIUIO/LXIO to be visible into an stream. This API also supports pulling the status of the lights, so viewers can see the state live. Something useful to add into this system is the ability to get the current song, and select the song remotely. This requires reverse engineering of all games that will support this feature.
App control. As mentioned above, the goal is our menu ginving a QR code such an APP can read it and connect to the broadcaster. Same features as above. The QR code should be displayed only when pressing the service or the test button.
Unified naming of the games. As known, In versions post-prime, The game supports Game Naming. From config, we can update the naming of the machines directly inside of the save data. This concept has been proven in PRIME2 and XX, but is still a mistery in PRIME.
Online updating. Online update is probably important to offer a better user experience. Right now the system only accepts licensing and updates via USB. It would be cool if we can support this system to be online, with a side of USB also.
Other that can be added. Feel free to suggest any kind of stuff you want to see into the loader.
