The '''Daodan DLL''' is a patch for Oni for Windows that hooks into the game engine to fix bugs and add features. It does this by posing as '''binkw32.dll''', the library that Oni loads in order to play the game's opening and ending videos. The Daodan DLL fixes the famous "[[Blam!]]" error that occurs when Oni launches on modern PCs. It also adds new features such as support for widescreen resolutions and bonus cheat codes. The Daodan DLL was created by [[User:SFeLi|SFeLi]] and then developed further by [[User:RossyMiles|RossyMiles]], [[User:Gumby|Gumby]], [[User:Admin|Alloc]] and Half-combine. | The '''Daodan DLL''' is a patch for Oni for Windows that hooks into the game engine to fix bugs and add features.
