General remarks

  • The minimum version of Windows that this game supports is Windows 8
  • Most of the game is in japanese, even in EXP region mode.
  • This game is hard to set up. You may encounter weird errors that are hard to diagnose

  • No DirectInput force feedback (future Segatools enhancement)
  • Felica.txt cards do not work with Version 2 of the game

Data and game setup

  1. Get the data
  2. Ensure the game files are not marked read-only
  3. Start up your favorite ALLNET server implementation in the background. Without it you won't be able to save your progress whatsoever.
  4. The data releases have the following structure:
  • package/: Game data
  • opt/: Addon data
  • amfs/: Metadata
  1. Unpack segatools to the package directory
  2. Create an appdata folder (this isn't Windows APPDATA) in the data release next to package/, opt/ and amfs/
  3. In the [vfs] section of package/segatools.ini set the paths for the folders:
[vfs]
amfs=../../amfs
appdata=../../appdata
option=../../opt
  1. In the [dns] section, set default= to your computer's hostname or LAN IP. Do not put 127.0.0.1 here, the game specifically checks for and rejects loopback addresses. This setting controls the address of the network services server
  2. If you want to change the language to english, you can set region= in the [ds] section to 4.
  3. This will change the region to EXP which comes with a rudimentary english translation.
  • Note for Version 2 of the game: You'll have to manually create a card ID and set it up. To do so, change your package/segatools.ini so that the [aime] section looks like this:
aimePath=DEVICE\aime.txt
felicaGen=0
  • Then, go into the package\DEVICE folder, create a text file called aime.txt and fill it with 20 digits, for example 01234567891234567890. Make sure to save the file.
  1. Right click start.bat in package and run it as Administrator. After the first run you may be able to run the game as a normal user.
  2. Once you're at the title screen, press 2 or 3 a few times to add some credits, then hold the Enter key for a few seconds to scan a card and start a credit.
  • In some cases it might be necessary to run the game from the C:\ drive. Try copying the game there if for some reason it won't boot on a different drive.

FAQ

Where is the Free Play setting?

In the SEGA Nu system supervisor program, which is not included in this release. A command-line tool to change this setting will be provided in a future release of Segatools.

Do note however that Free Play is not advised for this game, as it will prohibit you from purchasing additional cars.

How do I get extra music?

Play through the story and also rack up your mileage.

How do I unlock extra gauges?

Some will unlock in the story but most were time-limited online events. Try editing the "idz_unlocks" table in the MiniMe database to force-unlock them on your profile.

Why does my story progress keep resetting?

If you are using minime, this is a known issue and will be fixed in a future release.
