| Setting | Description | |---------|-------------| | default= | The hostname or IP address of the server to connect to. 127.0.0.1 and localhost are specifically rejected. |

. This simple text file determines whether your game connects to a server, how it reads your "Aime" card, and where it stores your progress. 1. The [vfs] Section: Managing Your Files

| Setting | Description | |---------|-------------| | windowed= | Set to 1 to force the game to run in windowed mode. | | framed= | Controls window frame behavior. | | monitor= | Specifies which monitor to use for full-screen display. |

segatools.ini is a plain text configuration file used by segatools (a collection of hooks and emulators, often found in repositories like [Soyandroid/segatools](https://github.com/Soyandroid/segatools) ). It allows users to:

This handles screen resolution, windowed mode, and orientation, allowing you to force portrait games into landscape or vice versa. : Enables video manipulation. width/height : Defines the resolution (e.g., windowed=1 : Toggles windowed mode ( = Windowed, = Fullscreen). 4. [io] (Input Configuration) segatools.ini

(Replace 127.0.0.1 with the actual IP address of your local server if you are running it on a separate machine). Step 3: Map Your Diagnostic Controls

Always keep a pristine copy named segatools.bak before making changes. One typo can prevent the game from booting.

[Audio] ; Volume level (range 0-100) volume = 50

Some cabinets have extra hardware like force-feedback motors, ticket dispensers, or strobe lights. The [gpio] section emulates these. This simple text file determines whether your game

is the primary configuration file for SegaTools , a set of loaders and hardware emulators used to run modern SEGA arcade games (such as Initial D Arcade Stage Zero or Chunithm ) on standard PCs.

service= Maps the service menu button, essential for calibration.

: This controls the hostname or IP address of the Sega network services.

[dns] ; The hostname or IP of the private server you are using ; 127.0.0.1 and localhost are often rejected by the game default=your.server.address | | framed= | Controls window frame behavior

[netenv] ; Simulate an ideal LAN environment (keep true for most local setups) enable=1

[gpio] ; 1=JVS, 2=JAMMA dipsw1=1 ; Free play? dipsw2=1

game_id= Identifies the specific software version allowed to boot. Changing this incorrectly will result in a "Keychip Error" on launch. platform_id= Defines the hardware generation (e.g., SBZV ). 4. [io3] or [io4] (Input/Output Boards)

: The segatools.ini file should be placed in the same directory as the game's executable, often the /bin/ or /package/ folder .

Rather than keeping everything in one monolithic segatools.ini file, advanced users often split configurations across multiple override files, each dedicated to a specific purpose. This modular approach simplifies troubleshooting and makes it easier to share specific configurations without compromising unrelated settings.
