After a painstaking migration from Windows 7 to 8.1, my PMD/X editors broke. PMD editor wouldn't load models or the model viewer, and PMX editor simply wouldn't boot at all. I tried compatibility mode, but to no avail. (Also, my new antivirus was absolutely butchering PMXE, deleting .exes and .dlls left and right, so I had to put the program into a special, scan-excluded folder
)
Then I remembered DirectX. I won't go into details, but DirectX is necessary to run a lot of applications that have 3D rendering. This includes MMD and the Editors. The problem is, PMD/X Editor requires DirectX 9.0c specifically in order to run properly/at all. You might have, say, DirectX 11, but it's not compatible with the Editors.
So here's what worked for me:
1. Download this:
www.microsoft.com/en-us/downlo…
This is your new, shiny DirectX version 9.0c installer. Let it download completely before launching it.
2. Launch the installer and it'll do its thing until it asks for a location to unzip. Make a new folder somewhere convenient (I used the Desktop), click Browse, and select that folder. Click "OK" and it'll unpack its contents.
3. Go to your "new folder somewhere convenient," and scroll down until you see DXSETUP.exe. Launch that, and let it install.
Done! Now open your editor and do a happy dance when it runs! You can delete your "new folder somewhere convenient" now that the installation is over.
FAQ:
It still won't launch!
I suggest downloading PMXE from here:
learnmmd.com/downloads/
And assessing what you might need from this list:Downloading and Installing MMD/PMDe/PMXe
Keep in mind those requirements are for the old English PMDE, and you can see what you already have installed in "Programs and Features" or "Add and Remove Programs" in your Control Panel.
Also look at the comments of LearnMMD; there might be something there that is useful. They're still active, too, so don't be afraid to ask them!
I thought I already have DirectX 9.0c!
Check by launching dxdiag.exe (do a system search for it or look under C: (or whatever your main drive is called)->Windows->System32. Launch it and look near the bottom for DirectX Version.
Will DirectX 9.0c overwrite my DirectX 10/11/12?
No. You can have both at the same time, and I'd actually recommend having both. That way, you can run applications that support the newer versions as well as those that don't, such as PMD/X Editor.

Project Mirai DX Beach Stage Fix
~Starlight-Enterprise (https://www.deviantart.com/starlight-enterprise) took the time to fix the white-leaved palm trees and add a no-plane version of both the day and night versions. Thank you!
Just extract the contents of this zip to your Mirai DX Rooms Pack and overwrite the readme.

Mirai Motion Ripping Progress (2-19-17)
Figured out how to use B-Momi, and the above is Skeleton Orchestra and Lila... with just the head, eyes, and left arm.
B-Momi requires a bone list, and it's kind of hard to cherry-pick which bones to use when there are so many duplicates. I figured out that "wj" probably stands for "working joint," but sometimes B-Momi tells me "this bvh file does not contain bone n_waki_l_wj," so I'll use n_waki_l instead.
EDIT: Just got the legs working, too!
Silly Senbonzakura Stage (Mirai)
I finished the Mirai Senbonzakura stage (last Sunday actually), but there are quite a few things missing: the ghosts' side, back, and below textures, the confetti, the red-and-white lanterns...and the train tracks! Also, the UV maps are messed up for the red stage part of the train (so I just deleted its texture path and recolored it red), and I left everything in its original place (some things were under the train).
Before I release it, there a few things I can do:
1. Hi-resolution-ify the poorer textures (specifically the kites)
2. Center the kites (to make them easier to pose)
3. (Re)Create ghosts and/or train tracks in Meta (train track

Mine would launch but it would say "Missing PMXNLib.dll", and when I opened a model, transform view did not work. I had downloaded Visual C++ 2010 and DirectX 9 and it still did not open transform. BUT! I downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Visual C ++ and that fixed the problem! Another issue is you might need to open up properties, compatibility, and then change high DPI settings from 'Application' to 'System' so that it doesn't have display problems. I hope this helps anyone else having issue with their program.
