Game Setup Options

From the Game Setup menu, you can change some things related to the games functions, but you need to know the consequences before altering these options, so:

Reset Game:

Reset the game emulation, you'll lose your current game progress unless you've saved it first.

Also, if you are using ``Continuous playing'' from version 0.31, this really resets the game, losing any saved data like hiscores...

Dipswitches:

This option allows you to alter the dip switch settings for the current game. This feature is also present somewhere on the arcade originals, but any changes you make are not guaranteed to work until the game is reset, so you should click on reset game after any changes. This is the nature of Dipswitches.

This button now appears on the raine main bar, on the main screen, when the loaded game supports dipswitches.

Action Replay:

This is a cheat system, see 'Action Replay' Cheating below. Notice that the cheat database hasn't been updated for quite a while. It's because most cheats are found for mame first, and we lost our converter. Maybe this system will be rewriten to natively support the mame format for the cheats in the end.

Region:

When the game supports different countries, a button «Region» appears on the bar in the main screen.

With most of Taito's roms after 1987, they use a byte of the rom to define which continent/language the arcade board is for use in. Usually there are two main variants:

• Japanese version: Usually with a 'this game is for use in Japan only' copyright message at the start. The game will not necessarily have Japanese text, sometimes it will (eg. Cadash, Liquid Kids).
• American version: Usually with a 'this game is for use in America only' copyright message at the start. Also the American version nearly always has a 'winners don't use drugs' logo (or sometimes 'recycle it, don't trash it' logo) at the start.

For some games there are more interesting/useful version settings too:

Original

Switch

Main Changes Bonze Adventure

This option is sometimes risky to switch between (it's not possible for arcade owners to switch it at all, unless they get a new set of 68k roms). The game is now automatically reseted after you change this setting. Also, with the F3-System games, changing this setting will void the game's eeprom. Raine will try to autodetect this and reset when needed. Sometimes you will have to press the test mode key (default is 'u') to reset your eeprom. You might also need to click on 'reset game' again to achieve a clean reset with F3-System.
