Domino English Translation

Domino is a MIDI editor that is used for creating MIDI songs/musics. Domino is used by various blackers in the Black MIDI ecosystem.

Since Domino is an abandonware, and it's original language is Japanese, many people tried to translate it using resource editing tools. Some of it are outdated, while others are incomplete.

This repository is made to unify the translations made by community, while trying to complete it for easier usage.

Usage

1. Download either the Domino .zip or the .exe.

   • The .zip contains everything you need to run Domino. Download this if you are not sure or this is your first time using this program.
   • You can also download the .exe if you want to use your configured settings. Place it inside your Domino directly, where "Domino.exe" placed.

   Type	Download
   Stable (Release)
   Nightly (Pre-Release)

2. Recommended: Download the dominohook .dll file and bind it to the executable. Read how to bind it here. In the future, I will find a way so I could distribute it with the hook.

3. Run the executable.

   • If you downloaded the .zip, just run Domino.exe.
   • If you downloaded the .exe, after placing it on the directory, run Domino_Translated.exe (make sure you rename it so you know which one's the new version!).

4. Optional: Read the manual from https://hans5958.github.io/Domino-English-Translation or the supplied manual.
