## Data and game setup
|
|
|
|
1. Get the data
|
|
1. Ensure the game files are not marked read-only
|
|
1. Start up your favorite ALLNET server implementation in the background. Whether or not you plan to
|
|
save your scores the game must be "blessed" by a server at least once, otherwise there will be a
|
|
spinner on the title screen forever and you will be unable to start a credit
|
|
1. The data releases have the following structure:
|
|
* `app/`: Game data
|
|
* `option/`: Addon data
|
|
* `amfs/`: Metadata
|
|
1. Unpack segatools to the `app/bin` directory
|
|
1. Create an `appdata` foder (this isn't Windows APPDATA) in the data release next to `app/`,
|
|
`option/` and `amfs/`
|
|
1. In the `[vfs]` section of `app/bin/segatools.ini` set the paths for the folders:
|
|
```text
|
|
[vfs]
|
|
amfs=../../amfs
|
|
appdata=../../appdata
|
|
option=../../option
|
|
```
|
|
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
|
|
1. Right click `start.bat` in `app/bin` and run it as Administrator. I think you need to run it as
|
|
admin at least once, but once you have done that you can run the game as a regular user
|
|
1. A sequence of several start-up screens will be displayed. You should also see a bunch of debug
|
|
output in a command line window; if you're seeing hex dumps here then that's a good sign. There
|
|
will eventually be a screen with a red error message about LEDs. This is being displayed because
|
|
Segatools does not currently emulate the cabinet's RGB LED strips
|
|
1. Press 1 to go to the operator menu. Use either Test/Service or the touch bar to navigate the
|
|
options
|
|
1. Select ゲーム設定 (Game settings)
|
|
1. Select 配信サーバー設定 (Distribution server setting)
|
|
1. Set this setting to サーバー (Server)
|
|
1. Select 筐体グループ設定 (Cabinet group setting)
|
|
1. Set this setting to OFF
|
|
1. If desired, you can also set 音楽選択時間設定 (Music selection time setting) to 99 or whatever
|
|
1. Select 終了 (Finish)
|
|
1. There will be a centered prompt notifying you that a restart is necessary to put your new
|
|
settings into effect. Confirm both prompts. The game will now exit
|
|
|
|
This setting has nothing to do with the game's central network services, it describes the role that
|
|
the cabinet has on the shop LAN. To be exact, every networked group of SEGA cabinets (one cabinet is
|
|
still a group) must have exactly one cabinet designated as the "Distribution Server" and all the
|
|
others configured as "Clients". The clients will search for a distribution server on their
|
|
inter-cabinet LAN: they will not finish starting up until they find one.
|
|
|
|
Normally the client/server setting is controlled by DIP switch 1 on the Nu PCB chassis. However, for
|
|
some reason this is controlled from the operator menu in Chunithm. And the default setting after
|
|
NVRAM reset is Client mode.
|
|
|
|
* Start the game up again, then dismiss the LED error message using the touch strip. You should see
|
|
a title screen with a red glow along the bottom (or, if you were less lucky, a red banner or a
|
|
spinner that doesn't go away).
|
|
* 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. A random card ID will be written to `DEVICE\felica.txt` the first time
|
|
you do this.
|
|

## 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.
|
|
|
|
### The network test screen shows a bunch of BAD checks and (either a red RTC error screen or an infinite spinner on the title screen) appears which I can't get past
|
|
|
|
This means that the game's ALLNET client software failed to start up. The ISP domain squatting
|
|
thing is a common cause for this problem, but unfortunately there are a large number of other
|
|
possibilities. Try uncommenting the `chuniApp.exe=chunispike.txt` line in `segatools.ini` to enable
|
|
the internal ALLNET debug log; this may possibly yield some clues.
|
|
|
|
### What does the red "本日のプレイ受付は終了しました" text on the title screen mean?
|
|
|
|
"Play acceptance has ended for today". Basically it means that it's outside legal operating hours
|
|
for Japanese arcades right now. Hopefully somebody can come up with a hex edit to bypass that
|
|
message but for now you'll need to change your PC's clock or something.
|
|
|
|
### How do I play courses?
|
|
|
|
This requires additional server support which might not be implemented currently.
|
|
|
|
### How do I unlock a character other than the penguin?
|
|
|
|
Pick any map other than the default. You will see characters available as potential rewards for
|
|
those maps. |
