How to connect to Akatsuki: Linux

Open the script you use to launch osu
Add "$@" after osu!.exe if it’s not already present So if it looks like: wine osu\!.exe, it will become: wine osu\!.exe "$@"
Then, add -devserver akatsuki.gg when you launch the script So if you launch osu! with: ./osu.sh, you can launch Akatsuki with: ./osu.sh -devserver akatsuki.gg

If you only play on Akatsuki, you can also replace "$@" with -devserver akatsuki.gg so you don’t have to type the server address each time!

How to connect to Akatsuki: MacOS

Open your osu! Wineskin
If you’re running osu!.exe directly: Look for file properties, there’ll be an argument box: EXE Flags Add -devserver akatsuki.gg to the argument box Save changes then run it normally
If you’re running osu!.exe through a bat file (execute.bat): Open the bat file on a file editor On the same line as start C:\osu!\osu!.exe, add: -devserver akatsuki.gg Save changes then run it normally

How to return to Bancho:

To go back to Bancho you can simply remove the -devserver command from the Shortcut. Although from our connection guide it is implicit that you should maintain at least two shortcuts: one being for Bancho, and the other one for Akatsuki. Please keep in mind that, for security reasons, every time you switch servers you’ll have to reinsert your login credentials.
