ITGmania sync

How to connect

Simply Love connects to syncservice.groovestats.com on port 1337. These scripts point that name at syncplay.letalex.dev so you join this custom lobby server without editing the theme.

Windows

  1. Download the scripts below.
  2. Right‑click enable-sync-redirect.bat → Run as administrator.
  3. Confirm the check says the host resolves to this server’s IP, then press a key.
  4. Start ITGmania → Simply Love → Online Lobbies.
  5. When you are done, run disable-sync-redirect.bat as administrator to restore GrooveStats.
Download enable (.bat) Download disable (.bat)

Windows may warn about an unknown publisher. That is normal for an unsigned batch file. SmartScreen: More info → Run anyway.

Linux

  1. Download the scripts below.
  2. Make them executable and run enable with sudo:
chmod +x enable-sync-redirect.sh disable-sync-redirect.sh
sudo ./enable-sync-redirect.sh
  1. Start ITGmania → Simply Love → Online Lobbies.
  2. To restore GrooveStats later:
sudo ./disable-sync-redirect.sh
Download enable (.sh) Download disable (.sh)

Verify

After enabling, check that the GrooveStats sync hostname points at this server:

# Windows (PowerShell)
Resolve-DnsName syncservice.groovestats.com

# Linux
getent hosts syncservice.groovestats.com

You should see the IP of syncplay.letalex.dev, not GrooveStats’ public address. The lobby server must be running on port 1337.
